Tagging @Jdforrester-WMF & @Silvan_WMDE in case you have any ideas on how to resolve. :) Thank you!

So it wants to be a Wikibase Client?

From what I can tell - that is what is required to support things like Template:Label - but please feel free to correct me if I am wrong - especially if I am overcomplicating. :)

@Reedy or @Jdforrester-WMF - any ideas who I can ping to get this processed? Thank you!

While it doesn't need a WMDE person/Wikidata developer to necessarily do the deploy, I wouldn't mind one of them weighing in on a few things.

The wbc_entity_usage table from client/sql/mysql/entity_usage.sql needs creating on foundationwiki (that's easy; a script in MediaWiki-extensions-WikimediaMaintenance helps there too), and it would look like the sites table is out of date and probably needs updating too (I think that should be trivial enough too; it's missing some rows vs say enwiki, but probably isn't a blocker). Both are basically things we do when creating a new wiki.

I don't think Wikidata is aware that foundationwiki exists either (it is in the sites table); I'm guessing it should be classed under Multilingual sites (ala meta, mediawiki and commons) if we want to allow some cross linking too. Not sure if/where this needs doing, or whether your patch already accommodates for that, or whether something else is needed for that.

Not sure offhand who is the best person in WMDE to poke for this, either for the help, or to find someone to help (ie some manager-y type) find someone to help.

@Silvan_WMDE - so who can I beg at WMDE to review and give input on this change? :)

It'd be me who needs to give the ok.

Can you clarify what you want to do please? The descirption isn't entirely clear to me. And that would determine what needs configuring where etc.

@Lydia_Pintscher - wonderful! Thank you!

Essentially, we would like to have ability to more easily utilize content from Wikidata within content on Foundation Governance Wiki (foundation.wikimedia.org - formerly Foundation Wiki).

Two examples that have already come up are utilizing some templates now being used on Meta-Wiki to help reduce workloads for translators:

• https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Int
• https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Int_string

When I attempt to set them up on Foundation Governance Wiki - I appear to get an error that as I understand it relates to needing Wikibase:

• https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Int
• https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Int_string

The specific error: "Lua error in Module:Wikidata_label at line 69: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value)."
Related module: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Wikidata_label
It seems to be calling to Wikibase - which is not installed on that wiki: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Version

Thank you. That helps.

This process is one that has not been handled by the current wikidata team in quite some time. As such, mob programming should occur with @ItamarWMDE and myself included in the mob. This is for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T321967 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T171140

Sprint Planning Notes:

• This task can only be performed by engineers with restricted or deployment access to production machines
• If an engineer that has done this before picks it up, please make sure to pull both an another engineer with sufficiant access rights to do so (that has not done it before) and an engineer that doesn't necessarily have access rights, to promote knowledge sharing
• Please update the instructions on Wikitech if any of the steps are incorrect or more information is discovered

Notes from task breakdown:

• Follow the wikitech documentation linked in the task description
• We can probably rebase and, if necessary, update the Gerrit change already attached to this task

The attached Gerrit change adds foundationwiki to wmgWikibaseAllowDataAccessInUserLanguage; I’m guessing this is acceptable because the {{int:lang}} hack (known from e.g. Commons) also seems to be set up there (MediaWiki:Lang, MediaWiki:Lang/de etc.), so I hope the parser cache is also being split by user language (I actually have no idea which config setting controls that).

(outreachwiki also seems to have that set up, so maybe it should be in wmgWikibaseAllowDataAccessInUserLanguage too. We didn’t do it in T171140 because nobody asked for it, I suppose.)

This should be done (for testing, I connected Wikimedia:Sandbox to Wikidata).

Look great, validated again everything works. Thank you @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE

Oh, I didn’t realize this was still open – someone actually found an issue with it: T342590: Missing i18n message wikibase-otherprojects-foundation
