Hi,
Is it possible to change the URL/URI structure of a Wikibase. I found this
tutorial
<https://addshore.com/2019/11/changing-the-concept-uri-of-an-existing-wikiba…>,
but since I am not using Docker, I am struggling to follow it (also my
technical knowledge is rather limited).
Building on this question, is it possible to have two instances(options?)
for $wgServer on MediaWiki LocalSettings.php file? I am working with a
MediaWiki + Wikibase installation that encompasses both a wikipedia-style
part linked to a wikibase part. Right now, the articles and entities paths
are now the same, which is obviously not ideal.
Article URL structure: http://mydomain.pt/wiki/Name_of_the_person
Entity URL: http://mydomain.pt/wiki/Item:Q1234
For reference, the project uses MediaWiki 1.35.
Thank you very much in advance,
Rute Correia

Wikimedia has transferred my wikibase to https://dreams.wikibase.cloud
I have been trying to access the data in the SPARQL server via
Javascript but run into the problem of cross-site scripting "CORS
Missing Allow Origin".
I have but up a ticket on the phabricator at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T310614
I do not know when or if it is going to be resolved and wonder if there
are anyone that have had a similar problem and would know a workaround?
best regards
Finn Årup Nielsen

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(a)wikimedia.de to say hi
back, or with any feedback or questions you may have concerning the topic
of Wikibase.cloud.
Cheers,
Evelien

Hey all,
I like to set up a Wikibase environment on a new Server.
The instance have around 2 million triples and we use complex federated
queries with Wikidata.
Can someone help me find out what minimal requirements the new server
should have?
Best wishes,
Moritz Steffes
Hey all,
You can now use the new Automated Values extension for Wikibase!
This extension allows defining rules in your Wikibase to automatically
build labels and aliases based on statement values.
We created this extension for the Luxembourg Ministry of Culture, who
funded the work. Automated Values is fully open source.

Hi all,
As this is my first post on this mailing list, and we may not have met yet: Hi! I’m Lea, Head of Product Management at Wikimedia Deutschland. I have some staffing related announcements to make concerning Wikibase.
After more than 2 amazing years at Wikimedia Deutschland, our product manager for the Wikibase ecosystem, Sam Alipio is moving on to other adventures. We thank Sam for the skills, the drive and generally being a great colleague. Amongst others, Sam was responsible for the 2021 strategy for the Wikibase ecosystem[1] and key to Wikimedia Deutschland’s decision to provide Wikibase as a Service. Take care and farewell, Sam!
The Wikibase ecosystem continues to grow, and it is for this reason that Wikimedia Deutschland plans to have two product managers for the Wikibase ecosystem going forward. One product manager focussed on Wikibase.cloud and a second on Wikibase Suite, which includes the docker and manual install.
We are excited to announce that Evelien Zandbergen will join us as product manager for Wikibase.cloud in a few weeks. Evelien is looking forward to joining the Linked Open Data movement, and will introduce herself once she starts.
The second product management position will follow later this year, and in the interim, I will act as product manager for the Wikibase Suite.
As always, feel free to reach out to us via swe_partnerships(a)wikimedia.de.
We are excited to continue working towards our vision[2] and fostering the Wikibase ecosystem together with you!
Cheers,
Lea
