• Tool of the week
• UseAsRef script allows you to add references to statements using one external ID as source (see User:Bargioni/UseAsRef and this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3nkeqKnfTg YouTube video] for more information)

• Other Noteworthy Stuff
• Abstract Wikipedia presents prototypes of two tools that could help people to visualize, exemplify, and better guide our understanding of the coverage of lexicographic data in Wikidata.
• [https://pro.europeana.eu/post/public-domain-tool-automating-the-calculation-of-works-in-the-public-domain Public Domain Tool], developed by the Flemish Institute for Archives automates the process of determining whether their collection items could be in the public domain.
• Sizes of country items (like "Portugal" (Q45)) were recently reduced by 30% to 50% by moving a few economics properties to "economy of"-items (sample: "economy of Portugal" (Q1649355)). The item "economy of Portugal" is currently larger than "Portugal". This can simplify uses of country items that previously timed-out. Infoboxes can still access the properties with the link through "economy of topic" (P8744).
• Later this week, the development team will enable a rate limit for assigning new item IDs. Bots and users who successfully create items should notice no change, since the rate limit is equal to the existing limit on all edits. However, bots that often fail to create items may start to see different error messages than usual. This will hopefully reduce the problem of skipped item IDs.

• Development
• Work on the Simple Query Builder continues. We finished connecting query conditions via OR (phab:T272694). Next we will work on adding the UI for sharing the visual query via a link (phab:T272887)
• Improved the deployment process for the Query Service UI to make it easier to deploy
• Fixed language code "dag" for Dagbani not working for Lemmas for Lexemes (phab:T272242)
• Fixing the bug where the Property selector is not falling back from language variant to major language for Property labels (phab:T272712)
• Adding a rate limit for creating Item IDs to avoid skipping so many due to misbehaving bots (phab:T272032)
• Fixed the case where no error was shown when trying to save a lemma with an invalid language code (phab:T265783)
• Fixed a but where merging two Lexemes fails if the source Lexeme has links to its own Senses (phab:T273830)
• Increasing the rate of edits that trigger a check by the constraint checker to 50%. This will increase the number of constraints violations that you can query in the Query Service. (phab:T204031)
• Making it possible to add interwiki links to/from Multilingual Wikisource (phab:T138332)
