After ten weeks nothing is done. Why?

Hello @RolandUnger, this task is present in our (quite huge) to-do list and we didn't forget about it. However, it is currently blocked on solving a bug (T192462). This task should be picked up soon. Thanks for your patience.

Since T192462: mw.wikibase.entityExists returns false for redirected entities has been resolved, let's move on with this!

Rosalie_WMDE moved this task from Ready to pick up to Wikidata-Campsite-Iteration-∞ (On Hold) on the Wikidata-Campsite board.

Rosalie_WMDE edited projects, added Wikidata-Campsite (Wikidata-Campsite-Iteration-∞ (On Hold)); removed Wikidata-Campsite.

Rosalie_WMDE moved this task from To Do (prioritised from top to bottom) to Doing on the Wikidata-Campsite (Wikidata-Campsite-Iteration-∞ (On Hold)) board.

I checked and I notice 2 lua functions not documented. Please, in case more are found, add them to the task description

Rosalie_WMDE moved this task from Doing to Peer Review on the Wikidata-Campsite (Wikidata-Campsite-Iteration-∞ (On Hold)) board.

Looks great! Resolving this as the original missing functions has been covered.

Added a line about redirected entities under entityExists for completeness (as recently we fixed that behavior). @Rosalie_WMDE pls feel free to double check this change

Another possible improvement could be to reorder the functions alphabetically, not sure if that's a commonly desired thing so I'll leave if for someone else to pick that up :)
