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:

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.

Hello,
We at the consulting company WikiWorks are neither Wikibase users nor
developers (other than having created some tools around SPARQL queries),
but we do think quite a lot about user interface relating to structured
data, especially within MediaWiki. Recently, we have been thinking about
how to improve the Wikibase interface, to get around its limitations - such
as the lack of on-wiki queries. We realized that there are already tools
that can help with some of these challenges, and other tools that it would
be a good idea to create. We put all our thoughts together into one
proposed suite, which we named "Enhanced Wikibase". You can read about it
here:
https://wikiworks.com/enhanced-wikibase.html
Hopefully these ideas will be helpful to anyone trying to make their
Wikibase installation easier to use. Any questions or comments are also
welcome.
-Yaron

Dear all,
currently, i am using wikibase for my own research purpose.
I would like to know if it is possible to reconfigure the URL structure of the items I create in Wikibase. What I'm interested in is the pagination of Wikibase items (not sure if that's the right description), and I gather that my local Wikibase items are created in the form of wiki/item:Q123 when they are created, whereas Wikidata's items are created as wiki/Q123. ex: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q150
As a user, I prefer the latter format, is there any way to configure this URL structure in LocalSettings.php?
Thanks in advance.
