Hello,
This is to announce that we are in the final days of preparing the Wikibase
Spring Release. We anticipate publishing the new release on or before May
15, 2021. An official release announcement will be made on the day we
publish.
The upcoming tarball and Docker releases will be compatible with MediaWiki
1.35 and will contain a two new Wikibase features:
-
Federated Properties
<https://doc.wikimedia.org/Wikibase/master/php/md_docs_components_repo-feder…>
: a feature that allows a newly created Wikibase instance to use the
existing Properties of Wikidata or another Wikibase. Please note that this
feature has some limitations, namely that you cannot use local properties
once you’ve enabled federation mode.
-
WikibaseManifest
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikibaseManifest>: the new
release is compatible with Wikimedia Deutschland’s extension that exposes
automatically discovered configuration information about your local
Wikibase for use by external tools.
We would also like to highlight that the new-and-improved Docker images
will now contain even more useful components
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T266779>, such as extensions that were
requested for inclusion by the community.
Finally, the release announcement will provide the location of detailed
release notes, improved Wikibase installation documentation, instructions
for upgrading your Wikibase to the new version, and instructions for
enabling/configuring new features.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
--

Hello and nice to meet you!
I have a (hopefully) simple question ... In my MediaWiki / Wikibase instance [1] I have a set of Properties whose data type is String, which are used to store the translations of the text of epigraphs, see eg. [2]. These fields appear to have a length limit of 400 characters. Is there any way to increase that limit?
Thank you very much!
Claudio

Hello,
This is to announce that the existing Wikibase Docker images will be sunset
and that the most recently released Docker 1.35 images are the last
versions that we will publish from the wikibase-docker github repository
<https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-docker>. If for some reason you need
them, these previous Docker images will remain available for a period of
approximately 6 months, officially sunsetting on September 30, 2021.
Please note that tags for these docker images have always been, and remain,
mutable. This means if you want to be sure that you’re getting the same
image you should specify the exact image hash.
This is a result of the ongoing “Release Strategy and Infrastructure”
initiative which will culminate in a Spring release with new 1.35 Docker
images which should be used going forward. We will make another
announcement shortly with the exact date of this new release and all
relevant information.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to let us know.
Cheers,
