Test Commons is closed. We sorta can deploy it there but it doesn't make much sense as noone can edit it.

Regarding DBA side of things, see https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Creating_new_tables we can get this done quickly.

I thought that too, but it turns out staff who previously logged in can edit there ( e.g. me - https://test-commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jon_(WMF) ) which is enough for our testing.

In paper stewards can do that and probably you have some rights that allow it. It's fine if you really want it but also that means you will need to set up a dedicated central table for testcommons? If the table is created for commons (in x1) and is not read, that'd be way less complicated and safer as result.

So if I understand correctly, we need two databases on x1 which will each hold globaljsonlinks, globaljsonlinks_target, and globaljsonlinks_wiki tables: one for testcommons for the testcommons deployment, and one for the actual commons-based deployment.

Or alternately, we can put those tables into testcommons directly.

In either case, test + testcommons will need JsonConfig's config updated to enable $wgTrackGlobalJsonLinks and to point the virtual-globaljsonlinks virtual domain at the right target, and the final deployment config will point all wikis at the final location.

Does that sound about right? Should I try to prepare a config patch for this?

I think the tables could go on testcommonswiki (to be paired with testwiki), as well on x1 for actual deploy to commons.

This provides a way to test the global json usage on the test wikis (in group 0 deployments) that is more realistic.

Agreed, that makes sense. Prelim config patch attached on T379199 -- @Ladsgroup let me know if this looks right to you!

@Jdlrobson Do we want $wgChartProgressiveEnhancement to be enabled for testcommonswiki and testwiki?

Yes please. Just not pilot wikis!
