And Tim has already done some amazing work getting OWID to function within
a mediawiki install. One can see examples of these graphs here

All about 3,000 graphs can be seen here

Dear Wikimedians,
Yesterday it was announced that the Graph extension has been disabled due
to security vulnerabilities. Having the ability to visualize data is a
powerful tool in presenting information within a wikipedia page, so it is
great to have such an extension.
But this could be the moment to reach out to Our World in Data (
https://ourworldindata.org/), who have an even better set of data
visualization tools, based on similar libraries, that are actively
maintained by a strong community. Perhaps there is an opportunity for
collaboration. This will not be a short term solution, as forging OWID
software into an extension will take some time and backwards compatibility
is essential. But in the medium to long term it will result in better tools
and more compelling wiki pages.
I hope the community and WMF will support such an approach.
Regards,
Tim Moody
