We at Wiki Project Med are working to get Our World in Data (OWID) working within a mediawiki environment.
1) We have created a mirror of their website on WMF servers https://owidm.wmcloud.org/grapher/interventions-ntds-sdgs. Hopefully this has allowed us to address security and privacy concerns.
2) We have created an extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OurWorldInDataMirror that allows the use of this content within a mediawiki install
3) We have made a bunch of changes to formatting, such as removing the logo, to make it compliant with WP practice and style. You can see an example on MDWiki in the infobox here https://mdwiki.org/wiki/Neglected_tropical_diseases.
My question to the movement is are their communities interested in using this technology? There are about 4,000 of these graphs https://owidm.wmcloud.org/charts. We of course will also need to develop a framework for translation.

Bashir do you mean you are interested in helping to fund the Our World in Data effort? Wiki Project Med Foundation would be happy to accept donations. We are currently spending significantly more money than we are able to fund raise.
Gerald what would be the "identifier" for this https://owidm.wmcloud.org/grapher/interventions-ntds-sdgs And how would we add it to Wikidata? We would need to get created a new property I imagine. Can you help with that?

Hoi James, The biggest bottleneck to innovation is our own community process. It is also an impossibility to get Wikimedia to consider how it performs for specific groups of students. Never mind.
When you want to increase the value of "Our World in Data", it helps when their identifiers are linked to Wikidata identifiers. The OWID identifiers are welcome on Wikidata when need be. The value is that as a consequence labels in all our supported languages become available. When information is to be shown in another language, only the missing labels are needed for best results.
When Wikimedia Foundation is interested in improving its functionality, I am quite happy to point to the lowest hanging fruits for the biggest number of people we could provide a service for. Thanks, GerardM

THIS IS GREAT. One of the best uses of cc I have seen lately. At Basque wikipedia we have been trying to include maps uing data uploaded to commons and then using Kartographer directly. But this solution is way better. What would we need to deploy there and serve as an example of what can be done?

Next thing we need is clear consensus that the Basque community wants this. In the form of a RfC with greater than 60% support should do. Ping me when this is developed and happy to help bring it forwards to the WMF leadership and technical folks.

Fantastic. I would include OWID in the Sources attribution line in the embeds. Do they already have a start at translation? A strings file associated w/ each map?

Hey SJ
Yes working to add OWID both to the sources tab.
With respect to translation, am in discussion with OWID and they have no capacity to add this infrastructure for a couple of years. We will need to build something ourselves if we want it sooner. Am looking for volunteers who are interested :-) Or funding to help hire someone to work on this.

This sounds like something they could apply for funding from the Wikimedia Alliances Fund?
Evelin Wiki Project Med Foundation is a Wikimedia Movement thematic organization... We are applying for funding https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/WPM:VideoWiki for our work on VideoWiki.

Good to know, would love to help with this on wiki... Easy to do it in a way they can backport when they have time.
