Hi all,
We (Wikimedia Sverige) have been experimenting with setting up our first
wikibase.cloud instance and a few questions specifically related to the
wikibase.cloud installations cropped up. Thought we’d check with the rest
of you here how you dealt with them.
Firstly we noticed that wikibase.cloud wikis come without interwiki-link
possibilities. This amongst other things makes Special:Import not work
since this requires that an interwiki prefix be provided (to source the
import which is needed for licensing compatibility). In our case we were
planning on importing Template:Q etc. from Wikidata to help with our
on-wiki documentation. Is there a way of setting/enabling such so that
imports (at least from Wikimedia wikis) become possible?
Secondly, and related, is the ability to create sitelinks in the Item and
Properties namespaces. It is unclear if it is at all possible to create
sitelinks from a wikibase.cloud wiki. And if so would it be possible to
point these to Wikimedia wikis or even other wikibase.cloud wikis?
Attempting to add a site link opens a dialogue window where language can be
provided but the language in question does not get resolved to a site.
Lastly, on the Special:NewItem (and Special:NewProperty) page we get the
following message: By clicking "Create", you agree to the terms of use, and
you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the [ None yet
set.]. It is unclear where we would set the license which should go here
($dataRightsUrl?), also where we would set the license for the non-data
namespaces (i.e. $wgRightsUrl), which would have to be CC BY-SA if we want
to import some templates from Wikidata. Interestingly enough,
Special:NewEntitySchema already assumes CC0.
These might not be the standard challenges faced by wikibase.cloud users
but they quickly become quite central to the way we were thinking of using
our instance. Any thoughts, suggestions, pointers to existing bug reports
are welcome.
Cheers,
André
