Amazing work, James and Galder!

Today I was bold, made it fully multilingual and generalized it so that it can be easily installed in any wiki (Wikimedia or not).
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:OWID for the documentation
and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-OWID.js for the code
and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template_gadgets for more context

Galder, perhaps you'd like to update the usage at the Basque Wikipedia (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:OWID) so as to help centralize and coordinate our efforts?
Some technical notes:
- I simplified the code considerably using the pre-built methods OO.ui.alert and OO.ui.confirm rather than those complicated (and unnecessary, in this case) OOUI classes. I hope you like it.
- I wrapped the code with an "OWID" object to keep it out of the global space and make sure the 'oojs-ui-windows' dependency is always loaded.
- The localized messages should probably be moved to their own JSON file and loaded from there, but I'm not sure about the best way to do that while keep it template gadgets centralized at MediaWiki.org, and possibly having the strings translated by translatewiki.net. Perhaps we can set up a call to discuss some options?

PS, I enabled the template on the Spanish Wikipedia (see https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantilla:OWID) but we're having some local trouble with template gadgets so it's not working right now. I should be able to fix it in the next few hours.

Thanks, James, for all the work done,
We now have 14 articles with interactive graphs, as we are exploring this new feature:https://eu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategoria:Our_World_in_Data_grafikoak_dituzten_artikuluak. The deployment is pretty easy, it took around 10 minutes with only four things: a template, a css, a js and a gadget definition. This is so simple, that I think it should be implemented by everyone.

We should think on how we make it multilingual.

Thanks again to all the members of WikiProject Med for the step forward.

We have Interactive graphs from OWID working on Basque Wikipedia, following a consent popup.


Still need to figure out a way to make them multilingual.
