Hey Rute,

The "not ideal" paths you describe are standard Mediawiki/Wikibase setup. You can change the 'wiki' portion of the path by setting the variable $wgArticlePath. However I wouldn't recommend changing it, it breaks Wikibase's interaction with the triple store (the SPARQL query interface).

At the moment it looks to me as if we'll just have to live with this relic.

Yours,

Dragan

Hi,

Is it possible to change the URL/URI structure of a Wikibase. I found this tutorial, 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,
