Hello.
I am writing here to ask for help regarding a custom Repository/Client
Wikibase installation i made locally.
Just as a brief introduction: we already have a productive 15.000 pages
custom wiki. Since it is quite data-intensive, we would like to
implement Wikibase and migrate the more structured data there.
Before going Wikibase on the productive Wiki, I setup a local machine
for testing purpose and to gain experience on this extension.
So I setup two MediaWiki instances: one with the Repository and Client
extensions to act as "database" and the other one with only Client
extension, intended to only consume data.
Great to hear! I'd love to hear more about it.
I read all the documentation I found and I was able to
make everything
work, although with some trial-and-error, but I can only read items with
Arbitrary Access doing something like `{{#statements:P1|from=Q1}}`.
Trying the Direct Access `{{#statements:P1}}` results in an empty string.
I think I somehow miss something in Interwiki and/or SiteLink, so please
help me here.
Am I right that, in order to use Direct Access, I need to add a SiteLink
in the Item page pointing to the page in the Client Wiki?
I should create a link in the "Other Sites" group from the Repository
wiki to the Client one? Am I right here?
When I try to add the site to "Other sites" I can only see
"wikidatawiki": I assume this is some kind of placeholder I should
customize, but I do not know how to do it.
I already setup the Interwiki linking between the two sites in the
"interwiki" table of the databases.
That seems all correct.
What am I missing here?
Did you do this part?
