Tool of the week
Item documentation has two new features. First, it now includes two predefined SPARQL queries. The first one give the number of statements about the item by property and the second the list of statement about the properties. Second, for items of class award, it includes predefined SPARQL queries from TP award. See Q1624297 for an example.
Ranker lets you edit the ranks of several statements at once.
Made it possible to connect query conditions with OR (instead of only AND) in the Query Builder (phab:T272694)
Making it possible to query only for statements with or without a reference in the Query Builder (phab:T272699)
Continuing to work on adding a rate limit for creating Item IDs to prevent people from allocating a large number of unassigned Item IDs that are then lost (phab:T272032)
Working on the problem of Lexeme merging failing if the source Lexeme has links to its own Senses (phab:T273830)
Working on showing an error when trying to save a Lemma with invalid language code on a Lexeme (phab:T265783)
Fixing an issue in the Property selector fallback where it is not falling back from language variant to major language (phab:T272712)
Making it possible to add Interwiki links to/from Multilingual Wikisource (phab:T138332)

I'm trying to do several large WD queries to obtain a list of all en.wiki articles with a certain property, like this, but I always reach the timeout limit. VIAF cluster ID (P214) is the largest query (~730k), but I need 5 others as well which also time-out (P7859, P244, P213, P227, P268).

@Tom.Reding: Try breaking up the query into parts - use something like 'LIMIT 100 OFFSET 100' at the end, then step the offset until you've retrieved all the values. Thanks.

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 YouTube video for more information)
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.
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)

Minor League Baseball categories with links to different ones on Commons

Just wanted to explain that the reason for several Minor League Baseball (MiLB) categories having links to Commons ones with different names is due to the recent MiLB league realignment. Each affected league with a category on Commons was replaced by a league with the corresponding category on the English Wikipedia. For example, the Texas League was replaced by Double-A Central, so Commons category Texas League appeared in English Wikipedia category Double-A Central. Even doing a search for a new league on the official MiLB web site merely shows the new league's name at the top of the replaced league's page. Thus, the teams and ballparks in the affected categories are applicable to the new leagues, but their corresponding Commons categories have not yet been created, or possibly will just be moved from the those of the old leagues. So, I temporarily linked to the existing Commons categories.

@Waz8: Ah, I see, thanks for the explanation. I think it's better to create the Commons categories first, or at least add some context on Commons, otherwise the links are rather confusing. Thanks.

OK, I will add a comment to each affected Commons category explaining the relationship before I add the Commonscat template back to the corresponding English Wikipedia category. If the changes were not so extensive due to subcategories, I would create/move the new leagues' categories myself (although that may eventually be the case). However, I am in the midst of helping to update the affected articles, templates, and categories here. Thanks!

Working on first version of small tool that lets you get the average ORES quality score for a list of Items and find the lowest-quality Items in the batch so it's easier to improve them.
Taking a closer look at what larger improvements we want to make to Lexemes later this year.
Thinking through different ways how we can technically get mismatches between Wikidata's data and other databases so we can later expose them.
Thinking through what the first version of the REST API should contain and what should come later.
Fixed an issue with whitespaces when editing Lexemes (phab:T250550)
Made sure all languages show up in the language selector for monolingual text Properties at least with their language code because them not showing up was very confusing (phab:T124758)

Due to the planned delay of the release of MediaWiki 1.36, the Wikibase team has been working on preparing a Wikibase update that includes new functionality (such as the “Federated Properties” feature) based on v1.35. To that end, we started backporting certain features and fixes into the Wikibase 1.35 release. Follow our progress here.

A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
A request for comment asks if sysops may place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions?
When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
By motion, the discretionary sanctions originally authorized under the GamerGate case are now authorized under a new Gender and sexuality case, with sanctions authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people. Sanctions issued under GamerGate are now considered Gender and sexuality sanctions.

Hi Mike! I hope you're fine. :) I sent you an email some days ago about Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW), the new WMF project that is about to start, and I wanted to be sure you received it.
Please do not feel pressured by this message! I'm just curious if you can (or want) to drop a line in the talk page, or if you know other user(s) that can be interested in the topic.
Hope to hear from you soon! --Sannita (WMF) (talk) 17:14, 5 March 2021 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-03-05T17:14:00.000Z","author":"Sannita (WMF)","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Sannita_(WMF)-2021-03-05T17:14:00.000Z-Structured_data_across_Wikimedia_is_starting!","replies":[]}}-->

Hi, Mike - please see this edit which I reverted, and then look at the user's TP. I'm wondering if maybe it has been hijacked?

In my evidence, I posted one diff, of RexxS speaking of his/our passion for the project. I'm afraid his passion is gone, no matter how the outcome of the case. He wouldn't be the first, and that's what makes me sad. Anyway, we who are stubborn enough to stay will have MUCH MORE work, without him doing it. Guess what, at church today, they sang my song of defiance ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:22, 14 March 2021 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-03-14T12:22:00.000Z","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-03-14T12:22:00.000Z-Mike_Peel-2021-03-14T10:54:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
