Tech developments
- An OpenRefine service for Wikidata
- You can now make your Harvest Templates tasks run automatically. After you have generated a permalink to your task, add
&run=
to the url. When you open it next time, it will load and then run automatically. Alternatively, you can use&load=
which will only prepare the task for running.
You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here.
