*** In [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Updates/2023-03-15|this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team]], they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the [[m:Abstract Wikipedia/Updates|Abstract Wikipedia updates]] might be worth to follow.)

* '''Development'''

** EntitySchemas: We are preparing for adding a new datatype and other changes by improving tests, documentation, etc.

** Date input: We did a bug triage hour around issues with date parsing and improved it for Japanese dates ([[phab:T214002]])

** Ontology issues: We started evaluating the survey responses for the survey about different types of ontology issues reusers are facing. More work is needed before we have results.

** REST API: We finished work on including the URL of an article in sitelink data ([[phab:T330252]]) as well as providing all aliases of an Item ([[phab:T327882]])
