Hi Wikibase Community,
I recently asked the following in the wikibase.cloud telegram group:
Is there an easy way of resetting an existing instance to zero - the same effect that we got when we threw away persistent volumes in a docker-managed instance. For sandbox use cases, it's really helpful to be able to start from scratch again easily. I suppose the next best thing would be to delete an instance and make a new one.
Greenreaper commented:
I'm not aware of a way to do this but as you say making a new one should be fine, my only concern is whether deleted ones count for the current limit of six wikibases. Also not sure if the deleted names are reserved, they may be.
Could anyone give a definitive answer to those wb.c questions? Do deleted wb.c instances count against quota? Could one create a new instance with the same name as a deleted one?
And from the point of view of pure wikibase (leaving out the .cloud), is there a nice way of resetting an instance to empty?
Thanks,
Max (Donald) Ziff
