Will the error mention to users they need to use
the hook and point them
to a wiki page for more information?

Hello all,
This message is important for people who still use the config value mw.config.get(
'wbEntity') in their tools or scripts. This value, deprecated for two
years, will be completely dropped on July 24th.
The config value mw.config.get( 'wbEntity') has been deprecated in
order to improve the page load time, especially on large Items. Currently,
a significant proportion of the HTML on every entity page is generated by
this value. Dropping wbEntity completely will make the first paint (time
needed to load the page) faster, and will better utilize the server and
client cache.
If your code is still using
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85499#5330372> mw.config.get(
'wbEntity'), you can replace it by the hook
wikibase.entityPage.entityLoaded (see an example here
<https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/blob/47952b3b22a4550f3b2677b96c820e559123864c/repo/resources/wikibase.entityPage.entityLoaded.js#L13>).
On Wednesday, July 24th, we will drop mw.config.get( 'wbEntity') from
Wikidata’s codebase and calling the value will result in an error.
If you have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a comment
under the related task <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85499>.
Thanks for your understanding,
Cheers,
