Development[edit]

- finished performance improvements for badges
- work on entity usage tracking
- Pietro from the EAGLE project came to visit us, one of the first 3rd party users of Wikibase. See http://www.eagle-network.eu
- added a hook point to allow 3rd party users (like the EAGLE project) of Wikibase to control what goes into the search index
- started work on a widget that lets you edit badges right in the item instead of going to the special page
- use checkboxes instead of a multiselect to edit badges on d:Special:SetSiteLink
