May

New code deployed to Wikidata
Investigated, fixed and deployed fix for phab:T134432 (@todo: some of this code still needs tests, and probably reworked some to be more testable)

re/populated sites table on all Wikibase Client wikis, in order to add new wikipedia (jamwiki)
more work on search field definitions for Wikibase and discussing with Stas and ErikB.

Sprint start meeting
Add jam and ady to interwiki sorting order config, though I am not sure where these go in alphabetic_sr (Serbian) sorting order https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/288097/
Set sorting order config for fywikibooks https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134943
Looked again at phab:T47004 (moving interwiki sorting order config out of Wikibase, which I would like us to do soon)
Did some comparison of our config vs. the on-wiki config on meta wiki (meta:MediaWiki:Interwiki config-sorting order-native-languagename meta:MediaWiki:Interwiki config-sorting order-native-languagename-firstword) and in pywikibot.
- One thing I noticed is that we still have be-x-old in the sorting order. phab:T134943

Looking at issue with ArticlePlaceholder not appearing in search results.
- Locally, ran into issue of double gzip encoding on my wiki phab:T69928 but hhvm can be configured to work around the problem and is not an issue in production.
- Problem was the repoUrl setting in production (and the default in Wikibase is also not good). https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/288510/
- Also suggesting improvements to how the SearchHookHandler works (to avoid this api call and loading entities)
also watched https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase
- Dmitry presented about some experiments he's doing with creating "infoboxes" in the android app from Wikidata. Me (and some others) suggested he talk to Lydia and hoo, and make sure what fields / properties are in the infobox is something editors configure.
- Stas demoed geographic queries and the query hints that Jonas has been working on.

Performance improvements to the map display in the query service
Reviewing patches for phab:T89733
Further work on patches for adding labels and descriptions fields to CirrusSearch [1]

Preparing for WikiCite
Catching up recent changes in Wikibase View and MediaInfo and reviewing https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/289394/ (fixes the Wikidata build) and patches for fixing broken tests on travis (on non-English wikis)
Working on interwiki sorting order patch - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/288097/ (making my best guess on what to do with serbian sorting order, and asking on Serbian village pump [2])

Updating my MediaInfo extension setup and trying to create MediaInfo entities. Ran into https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T136011 and pushing for a solution, so we can move forward.
Took care of getting fix for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135485 deployed.
