Huh?

 * ... While I have a reason for such an edit, I can't tell what I changed. -- t  numbermaniac  c  23:45, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
 * You changed a non-breaking space in the bot's signature to a regular space, as far as I can tell—the same kind present in my own sig. Not sure why, though. Was it causing a problem? — Earwig   talk  00:16, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, I was busy. Anyway, it wasn't causing an issue, as far as I could tell. When I lowed the page it was behaving extremely oddly, and the beginning of pending submissions began with some completely random text without a table. I tried to go through the source to see if there was something wrong, and I think my iPad must have accidentally modified something while scrolling through the source. Sorry about that! -- t  numbermaniac  c  23:30, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * No worries. Thanks for the update. — Earwig   talk  03:29, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Discussions
 * Let's redesign Wikidata's interface
 * Reasonator
 * By hovering over a wikilink you will see the first paragraph.
 * The "personal settings" allow you to import your Babel info from Wikidata. This can be used to restrict the random items you will get.
 * The first iteration of "on the fly" text generation for English. It works for "humans" and, is completely based on the available Wikidata information.
 * You can now add labels in your language from within Reasonator. Technically oAuth is used. It now takes just one click to add a label in your language.

 * Newest properties: IAAF ID, Lagrangian point
 * Showcase items: Vesta (Q3030)
 * Development

 * Fixed an issue with OAuth on Wikidata because of permissions
