Improve version information for Wikidata software components
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Right now, version information on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Version does not show which build of Wikibase is running. It shows 1.28.0-wmf.20 for Mediawiki, but no such information for Wikidata build or Wikibase extensions.

Moreover, Wikidata extensions do not have any links to commits - unlike other extensions - except for "Wikidata Build" extension that links to a commit from May 2014.

This makes it very hard to figure out which build of Wikidata build bundle is currently deployed. It would be nice if we could improve version display so it would be at least as clear as for Mediawiki and other extensions.

From the title, I thought that this was about https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Module:Wikidata (and linked ones). I thought I didn't even know that it had version information. ;)

hoo renamed this task from Improve version information for Wikidata modules to Improve version information for Wikidata software components.Oct 5 2016, 8:40 AM

for the wikidata build, maybe we could add the branch name as a version number, possibly in extension.json

Don't we have a ticket about getting wikibase to use the top level composer? That would take care of this via the existing listing of Composer library versions on Special:Version.

Build is dead and all extensions and components shows their versions (as with other libs and extensions)
