Elena Elagina moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Elena Elagina, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Wikidata weekly summary #541

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • ✨ Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • The fourth edition of the Coolest Tool Award is looking for nominations. Please submit your favorite tools by October 12, 2022. The awarded projects will be announced and showcased in a virtual ceremony in December.
    • The September 2022 summary for the Wikidata Query Service backend update is out.
  • 🧑🏿‍💻 Development
    • MUL language code: fixed the order of languages shown in the termbox on desktop, especially when mul is used (phab:T311617)
    • Lexicographical data:
      • Made Special:NewLexemeAlpha use the same font as the rest of the wiki (phab:T313166) – this should be the last blocker for replacing the old special page
      • Disallowed *-x-qid with lowercase Q as Lexeme language codes in favor of *-x-Qid (phab:T317863)
    • REST API: worked on handling conditional HTTP request headers
    • Changed the unexpectedUnconnectedPage page prop so that Special:UnconnectedPages can show the latest pages first, which should finally resolve this old security task in production (phab:T300770)
    • Cleaned up the Wikibase and WikibaseLexeme ontology files (phab:T314360)
    • Added a few more globes for geocoordinates (phab:T314611) - Thanks, Mike!

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.
