[Federated Items] Alpha Release
Closed, ResolvedPublicGoal

Description

Goal:
Get the federation feature into users hands to collect feedback and identify issues in real usage environments - At least 3 Wikibases activate the federation feature on a Wikibase

Definition of Done:

Distribution

  • A dedicated Docker version is published to DockerHub under a clear version tag
  • Docker tag naming does not collide with the standard release naming
  • A fresh Wikibase instance can be installed via Docker on a standard server environment (validated on Hetzner) with Federated Values active
  • An existing Wikibase instance can upgrade to the Federated Values Docker image without breaking changes

Feature functionality

  • The feature is activated by default
  • An editor can search for Wikidata items as values within a statement
  • Federated values are displayed with correct labels
  • Federated values are visually distinguishable from local values in the UI
  • API: Federated values are represented in the API output with the correct Wikidata URI
  • RDF: Federated values are represented in the RDF output with the correct Wikidata URI and 'Wikidata' as a prefix

Test coverage & errors

  • Basic automated test coverage exists for core federation functionality
  • The feature has been tested on the Hetzner instance and has no critical errors
