Hi Maarten,

I'm the technical writer for Wikimedia Germany, and I'll be bringing this topic up at my regular meeting with the Wikibase developers to see if we can get some more info together for you. Of course you're welcome to update the wiki at any time, but I'll definitely add any info I learn on this topic to the advanced config page.

Best,
Dan

Hi all,

I am looking into better customising my WikiBase to the needs of my community. I want to create a separate sub-heading (just like Wikidata) for external identifiers and found some terse documentation on it here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Installation/Advanced_configuration#Optional_settings 

I would like to know which other options this feature can give me. Do any of you have more information on the settings possibilities here? I'll see if I can expand the manual page slightly with the outcomes of this discussion.

The only example given (the configuration of Wikidata):
$wgWBRepoSettings['statementSections'] = [
	'item' => [
		'statements' => null,
		'identifiers' => [
			'type' => 'dataType',
			'dataTypes' => [ 'external-id' ],
		],
	],
];
Do I read this correctly when I read that everything is under the Header 'Statements' because there is no filter (null)? And that a new section 'identifiers' is created by filtering on dataType is one of 'DataTypes' 'external-id' here?

What are the other options for 'type' and what other variables need to be created in order to make other types work?

Kind regards,

Maarten Zeinstra
