First off, a brief disclaimer: post-1.39 versions of MW are untested and, in this sense, "unsupported"; but of course 1.39 will go EOL at some point, and then social tools will target the next LTS (more details on MW.org @ mw:Social tools/MediaWiki compatibility). So in a way, you're charting uncharted waters here - thank you for your bravery, it's appreciated! :)

I have gone ahead and completed the rest of the required steps, which involve updating group descriptions and creating the project page for it

I just hope that the test goes as planned-

I guess you mean XSS?

I had a feeling that might be the case. As noted, some existing Wikibases can't be done without upload. But many of those cases would want to use suite or source.

For the limited case of instance admins wanting specific images hosted elsewhere to be shown in templates and on specific non-Wikibase pages, it is possible to define a background image to a class in MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Mobile.css, then use that class on a div:

.brok {
	background-image: url(https://en.wikifur.com/w/images/e/e7/Confuzzled-brokbadger.jpg);
	background-position: center;
	background-size: 206px 414px;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	content: "";
	display: inline-block;
	width: 206px;
	height: 414px;
	opacity: 0.7;
	vertical-align: middle;
}

<div class="brok" />
Obviously the image must be available for use on the instance, i.e. not blocked by referer header checks.

It's great to see an update to this

So one thing I'll note is that the limited access to settings is by design.
The idea of Wikibase cloud is it can easily scale to 1000s etc of wikibases and the limited set of functionality changes helps that.
MediaWiki and Wikibase individual settings are often far to fine grained to be useful when exposed to a wide group of users, and allowing free access to the settings can have undesired consequences.
The more settings that are exposed, and the more differently configured wikis the harder platform maintenance is.

@Evelien_WMDE responded and asked the perfect first question IMO,
Which settings! :)

Hey @Pisces , thanks for bringing this up!
Can you name some of the settings you'd think most important to include here, so we can spec out what this should look like and batch up the implementation? Thanks!

Uh... I'm not suppose to say m@n@gewiki isn't it?

Redirected from the Telegram channel. I would like to chip in. Hope to have the option for something like JS tags.
