Description

mw.wikibase.getEntity needs to go away for performance reasons (among other things). At some point we'll turn it into a simple wrapper around mw.wikibase.getEntityObject, but before we can do that all relevant users have to be migrated.

Modules using it, by number of transclusions: P272

Numbers generated by running:

hoo@terbium:~$ mwgrep --max-results 10000 --module '.getEntity(' > getEntity-Deprecated-2015-01-08.txt
tools.hoo@tools-login:~/tmp$ IFS=$'\n'; for i in `cat getEntity-Deprecated-2015-01-08.txt`; do db=`echo $i | awk '{ print $1 }'`; page=`echo $i | sed 's/.*Module://' | sed 's/\t.*//'`; sql $db "SELECT REPLACE( DATABASE(), '_p', ''), 'Module:$page', COUNT(*) AS No FROM templatelinks WHERE tl_namespace = 828 AND tl_title = '$page'" | tail -n 1 >> getEntity-Deprecated-2015-01-08-links.txt; done
tools.hoo@tools-login:~/tmp$ cat getEntity-Deprecated-2015-01-08-links.txt | sort -k 3,3 -n -r > ~/public_html/getEntity-Deprecated-2015-01-08-links.txt

@gpaumier may be worth noticing in Tech News?

That'd be nice. Can link https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-l/2015-February/005450.html for details.

Wohoo! Done! I changed all Modules used more than 10 times. Except for the protected ones. I have a list of the ones I couldn't change, but if @hoo had time and runs his script again to see if I missed out on some, that would be great.

Also, if we could have the Lua Modules somehow globally would be awsome. Easier to maintain and everything. Just saying :)

You're not the first who asked ;-) T52329

Thank you!

Well, so I got the modules more than 10 times using mw.wikibase.getEntity down to 25. The rest is (mostly) protected, so I couldn't do anything about it. I usually left a comment on the talk page of the modules explaining what to change. I think that's the most I can do and now just hope the rest is done by the people in charge of the modules on the individual Wikipedias. So I will close this bug.
