Adding Wikidata support to a new Wiki is a reoccurring task. Our engineers are investigating options to process these tasks more efficiently or even automate them, however this will require some time to investigate.

If this ticket needs to be resolved urgently, please reply here and it will be processed shortly after.

@Danny_Benjafield_WMDE Hi! We need to add support for Wikidata as soon as possible

Hi. What's the status on adding the Wikidata support?

@seanleong-WMDE Can we add this to our current Sprint please?

Yup, will update here when it's done. Thanks for letting me know.

@VadymTS1 and @Polda18 ; Wikidata should be connected sometime July 14. I will update here when it has. Apologies for the delay

Alright, thank you. Should be tomorrow then.

@Polda18, @VadymTS1 : I can see articles are being connected to Wikidata items in Interslavic Wikipedia's Recent changes feed so I hope this task is done. Please let us know if anything persists and once again, thank you for your patience and apologies for the delay in getting this connected.

Yes, I've already connected some articles and pages to Wikidata. Thank you very much.
