Mentor profiles display Wikidata QIDs instead of human-readable capacities
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story PointsBUG REPORT

Description

In Starter Kit's Community & Collaboration component, mentor skills are currently displayed as raw Wikidata QIDs rather than readable labels.

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Open the Community & Collaboration component in the Starter Kit.
  • Expand the Mentors list.
  • Click on a mentor profile (for example, Bennylin).
  • Observe the Specialty field. It shows Wikidata QIDs

What should have happened instead?:

Specialties should be displayed as human-readable labels (for example, "Template development", "Wikidata", "Lua modules", etc.) rather than Wikidata QIDs.

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

Thanks for the catch @srishakatux! What was the language wiki for which this issue was found? There seems be some wikis that may not have a correct match to the Specialties listed within Wikidata

@ToluAyo I tested with test.wikipedia.org. Maybe need error handling if it is only showing for test wiki.

@srishakatux Yes, because there's no localization for these Specialties for the test wiki, it just displays the QID and the actual feature can be tested with any language wiki set as the target url. And since the test wiki isn't an actual language wiki we can leave as is.

Tested and it works. We no longer see Wikidata QIDs when logged into a test wiki.
