    assert installed_software_table is not None, "Installed Software Table Not Found"

Jacob_WMDE claimed this task.

The first Wikibase seems to no longer be active and the second one leads to a "Login Required" page, which is causing the "not found" error. The login page seems to be specific to that site, rather than something we can check for and add a general case for as part of the scraper.

Jacob_WMDE reopened this task as In Progress.
