Dear Community,
We're still looking for more people to fill out the end of the year survey
for Wikibase Cloud.
There are only little days left, and your experience is more than important
to our upcoming planning process for next year's activities.
We tested it, it really doesn't take longer than 10 minutes and it's fully
anonymous.
This link takes you to the survey:
https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/wikibase-cloud-user-survey-Q4-2023.
Thanks so much for your help 🙏

Dear Wikibase Suite community,
We’re thrilled to announce the release of WMDE.14, our first release
compatible with MediaWiki 1.40, based on MediaWiki 1.40.1.
Changes in short:
-
MediaWiki 1.40 release announcement
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/…>
-
MediaWiki 1.40.1 release announcement
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/…>
Also please note that, as always, the file LocalSettings.php is
world-readable. Viewing it from within the container reveals the database
password and secret key.
Upgrading your Wikibase
Please note that, if upgrading from MediaWiki 1.38 or earlier, extension
loading must be adjusted. The Wikibase extension must be enabled in
MediaWiki using the Extension Registration mechanism. If you have been
providing your own MediaWiki configuration file (LocalSettings.php) for
your Wikibase container, make sure to check these upgrade instructions
<https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-pipeline/blob/f2555b07494c9df691cd…>
(valid for all versions after MediaWiki 1.38).
Are you looking for documentation?
Our Wikibase documentation <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase> is the
way to go for our installation instructions and FAQ. For Wikibase 1.40
developer documentation, take a look at
https://doc.wikimedia.org/Wikibase/REL1_40.

Dear Wikibase community,
An exciting year slowly comes to an end. Your input is always of great
value to us and the development of Wikibase Cloud. Please consider sharing
your thoughts with us in our end of the year survey
<https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/wikibase-cloud-user-survey-Q4-2023>.
As we're moving towards the end of the year, we would like to get a better
idea of what changed meanwhile and what needs to be prioritized next year.
Essentially, we would like to learn more about who is here, why you use our
product, and how you experience it. :)
Please note:
1. No questions are mandatory
2. It takes roughly 10 minutes.
3. It is anonymous.
Thanks so much for your help!
Have a lovely weekend.
