(apologies for crossposting)
Hello everyone!
I’m Evelien[1], the new product manager for Wikibase.cloud (for which we very recently released the private beta, hurray!). I joined the Wikimedia Deutschland team to focus on Wikibase as a service, to make it easier than ever before to create, connect, and grow our collaborative linked knowledge base.
Specifically I'll be focusing on understanding what Wikibase users need, finding what adds real value for you, and turning this into a beautiful roadmap so that I, together with the team, can improve Wikibase.cloud for you and we all can fulfil our vision in the long run.
For those who haven’t yet had the chance to catch up on the ongoing developments around Wikibase.cloud, I highly recommend signing up to our mailing list[2] or keep an eye out on our project page[3].
I just wanted to say hi, I’m very excited to be here and I hope to get a chance to connect more and more with you in the coming months. You’re very welcome to reach out to me at evelien.zandbergen@wikimedia.de to say hi back, or with any feedback or questions you may have concerning the topic of Wikibase.cloud.
Cheers,
Evelien

In Wikidata, the formatter URL property can be set so that external ID property values get a deep link to the external resource, see, e.g., https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P10831
I have attempted a similar pattern on a wikibase.cloud instance, see, e.g., https://dreams.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Property:P40. However the external ID does not get a deep link, - it is just shown as a string, see, e.g., https://dreams.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q100
Is it possible?
I have also asked at Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72788350/make-external-identifier-proper...
I now see documentation at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Installation/Advanced_configuration#...
where $wgWBRepoSettings['formatterUrlProperty'] should be set in LocalSettings.php. As far as I understand this configuration is not available in wikibase.cloud instances for administrative users such as me. Is that correct?

HI Finn,
You need to set an equivalence mapping for $wgWBRepoSettings['formatterUrlProperty']. Login at Wikibase.cloud, Dashboard, click the cog next to your site, Features tab, Mapping Properties to Wikidata, Add New Mapping for P4 to P1630. An example of this working is English WikiFur File Name on https://furry.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q1 It may take an hour or so to take effect, although you could try adding ?action=purge to the item URL to try to refresh it.
You may also find a mapping for P218 ($wgLexemeLanguageCodePropertyId) to be useful for lexeme languages (IIRC you need some for autocomplete to function, otherwise lexeme creator may not work well); and P1921, which is $wgWBRepoSettings['canonicalUriProperty']
The code for this is https://github.com/wbstack/mediawiki/blob/3d5fd474a1461dc3d6b4f2b8b062b11b8d... -- Laurence 'GreenReaper' Parry - WBUG ________________________________ From: Finn Årup Nielsen faan@dtu.dk Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2022 1:21:20 PM To: wikibase-cloud@lists.wikimedia.org wikibase-cloud@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wikibase-cloud] Getting the formatter URL to work for external IDs in a Wikibase
