Hi,

thank you for you answer! Unfortunately I do not get it fully. In different places it seams that the configuration is slightly different. I now put:

${DOLLAR}wgWBRepoSettings['statementSections'] = array(
        'wikidatawiki' => array(
        'item' => array(
                'statements' => null,
                'identifiers' => array(
                        'type' => 'dataType',
                        'dataTypes' => array( 'external-id' ),
                ),
        ),
        ),
);

in the LocalSettings.php.template file. But this seams not to work ....

Where is this file https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt located?

Merci

This is just a text file showing what is set in WMF production.

For a regular wikibase this will work

$wgWBRepoSettings['statementSections'] = array(
        'item' => array(
                'statements' => null,
                'identifiers' => array(
                        'type' => 'dataType',
                        'dataTypes' => array( 'external-id' ),
                ),
        ),
);

If you are using the docker images and the template file then you need the ${DOLLAR} too.
Also note, in order for settings changes like this to work with the docker images you will need to create a NEW container, restarting the old one will not work.
Giving https://addshore.com/2018/06/customizing-wikibase-config-in-the-docker-compose-example/ a read should help, note the section about reloading a service.

Mhmmmm ..... still not working somehow, I do:

1. Add this:

# Add this to separate the identifiers in a separate section
${DOLLAR}wgWBRepoSettings['statementSections'] = array(
        'item' => array(
                'statements' => null,
                'identifiers' => array(
                        'type' => 'dataType',
                        'dataTypes' => array( 'external-id' ),
                ),
        ),
);

to the config file LocalSettings.php.template which is mounted like this:

image: wikibase/wikibase:1.33-bundle
links:
  - mysql
ports:
# CONFIG - Change the 8181 here to expose Wikibase & MediaWiki on a different port
 - "8181:80"
volumes:
  - mediawiki-images-data:/var/www/html/images
  - quickstatements-data:/quickstatements/data
  - ./images:/var/www/html/resources/assets/images
  - ./LocalSettings.php.template:/LocalSettings.php.template

2. Relaod the image using:

docker-compose up --no-deps -d wikibase

3. Checking the service doesn't show any change.

Maybe I'm doing something stupid ?!?!?

just by restarting the containers.

Which command?

The best way to check is check the values of LocalSettings.php in the container and see if the settings appear there.
Even once the setting is updated it could be that things are cached and you won't see changes until you do a purge of the pages.

Hi I guess the mistake was that the change has not to be done in the:

LocalSettings.php

but in:

extensions/Wikibase/repo/config/Wikibase.example.php

right? Also he is caching. You are right. How can I purge the cache? The one of the browser seams not to suffice .....

For example, on wikidata, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q74434535?action=purge

Perfect! Thank you!

Last point related to this. There seams to be missing some localizations. In german for the Identifier section there is written:
⧼wikibase-statementsection-identifiers⧽

Sounds like this needs to be added to Wikibase.
Currently this lives in the WikimediaMessages extension for WIkimedia use only
