Dependencies
List dependencies, or upstream projects that this project relies on.
For Wikimedia deployment specifically, this will depend on a mirroring service available on WMCS: https://owidm.wmcloud.org/. This site will be used as the iframe target rather than the OurWorldInData main site, both for privacy reasons (not sending visitor IPs to a site operated by a 3rd party) as well as some changes made in the embedded display by the mirror site for better on-wiki appearance.
