@Trizek-WMF -- could you please ask the community contacts to try out the features and let us know if anything is wrong?

@nettrom_WMF -- this is now with you to validate the data.

So far I've seen nothing on the wikis. I reached at the contacts and/or communities to be sure I haven't missed anything.

We've not seen any indication that there are data quality issues after our deployment, and we do not have the capacity to prioritize this work to dig in further. Closing this task as resolved since the Homepage has been deployed.
