 * General datatypes: none
 * External identifiers: ‎Playdate Catalog ID


 * New property proposals to review:
 * General datatypes:
 * linguistic family of place name ( Relates directly a placename to its original language family. It's not the language in which the toponym is written, but the language from which the word (place name) comes from. )

 * Language codes:
 * We made Special:NewLexeme more likely to guess the spelling variant for you by changing the Property we use to get the language code. Now you will see the spelling variant input pop up less often. (T349652)
 * We started work towards allowing many more languages by default for Wikibase Lexeme and monolingual text statements. This will remove the need for a lot of requests for new language codes to be added. (T341409)
 * Query Service UI: We’ve fixed a small issue in the Query Service UI that was introduced when updating CSS variables. Content of selected cells in the query result should be readable again. (T350153)
