Wikidata weekly summary #429

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
    • Entity Explosion: a new multilingual Chrome browser extension. "Taking the power of Wikidata with me wherever I go across the web!". Uses API calls to the Wikidata Query Service to match the URL you are browsing on to a Wikidata item, and then displays data and links to other sites about the same entity. (Video)
  • Development
    • Fixed a bug where a length limit for strings seems to have reverted itself back from 1500 to its default 400 (phabricator:T259440)
    • Fixed a bug that Wikibase is not always adding &redirect=no in situations when MediaWiki usually does (phabricator:T255387)
    • Wrapping up the initial work on the design system so it is ready for use in the first new feature (Query Builder)
    • Fixed the serialization of statements on Forms and Senses not containing the datatype (phabricator:T249206)
    • Wrapping up work on the first version of Federated Properties so that other Wikibase installations can use Wikidata's Properties instead of having to maintain their own
    • Worked on ensuring the data from the linked data interface at Special:EntityData is always up to date after an edit has been made (phabricator:T128486)
    • Enabling clients to use Lua to request labels, descriptions and aliases in some (often minority) languages even when they are not content languages (phabricator:T259340, phabricator:T260118)

Incomplete "Good article reassessment" process at Stereotype threat

Hello, looking over the talk page at Talk:Stereotype threat, I see that you were the reviewer who cleared the article for good article status way back in 2011. Since then the article has grown quite a bit, as have the number of studies and meta-analyses on the topic. Recently a content dispute has arisen between myself and another user over a number of issues. Of particular interest to you may be the fact that this user placed a "Good article reassessment" tag at the head of the article but doesn't appear to have followed the subsequent steps required per Wikipedia:Good_article_reassessment. One of those steps is to "Notify major contributing editors, relevant WikiProjects for the article, the nominator and the reviewer" so I thought I might notify you in their place and see if you had any guidance to offer regarding the tag (as an involved editor I don't think it would be proper for me to remove it) –– and possibly on the current state of the article generally. Thanks! Generalrelative (talk) 00:24, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

FYI, this issue has been resolved. Generalrelative (talk) 21:12, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
@Generalrelative: Thanks very much for notifying me about this. Apologies that I didn't get to look at it. MartinPoulter (talk) 20:30, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Khalili Collection of Swedish Textiles

On 31 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Khalili Collection of Swedish Textiles, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Nasser Khalili assembled the Khalili Collection of Swedish Textiles (item pictured) because he felt that art historians undervalued works by anonymous creators? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Khalili Collection of Swedish Textiles. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Khalili Collection of Swedish Textiles), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
