Well sheesh, @ItamarWMDE , you didn't leave me much to do, did you? :) Thank you for this super-thorough piece of documentation. I will copy it to MediaWiki shortly.

@Ladsgroup and I chatted about this today; I will ask the Wikibase devs for the aforementioned table (referenced here) and work it over as needed.

It can be! I'm guessing there has been a renewed call for answers to this question. I'll bring it up in today's doc meeting.

Thanks @danshick-wmde for your work on the documentation: in my opinion this is much clearer now, I just added a few words and a reference to the source code to better explain how and where the page content is processed.

As I see it the manual page now contains answers to questions 1 (client) and 2 (it can be anywhere on the internet) and the "sp_ver" question (no functional impact). If @lucamauri is content we can close this ticket.

Manual page updated. (Spoiler: the setting is indeed a client and not a repo setting.)

Hi, just tuning in on this topic. Since I recently had my hands on the documentation in connection with T280787, I will take a look at this shortly and see if I can get any open questions answered.

Done! https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Wikibase-SortedProperties

I'd be grateful for a quick explanation of how a template can be used here. I lack the context to understand how things have changed --

To my knowledge this is done.

Sure, I'll give it a once-over.

Does this info exist somewhere? To my knowledge, we don't currently have a doc that instructs users on how to update a manual Wikibase install. Since the release happening soon was Docker-oriented I didn't think this area of documentation would be in demand yet. If I'm off base, let me know and I'll do what I can ASAP.

I lightly edited Tobias' doc, which has been merged and I think satisfies this ticket's requirements:

Draft doc for approval:

FWIW the Docker install instructions have not been updated yet with the new info (I marked the page as outdated). They will be updated by end of week if not tomorrow.

After consulting with the developers I've added some documentation to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Suite#Native_and_non-native_data_types . Because Wikidata is extremely customized and not a model example for Wikibase, we've only noted officially supported data types and their extensions.

I'm revising the high-level Docker instructions https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Docker on the basis of the work in the new repo. I'll arrange to drop in the new docs timed correctly for this ticket.

We met on this topic today -- we'll be improving and moving around some of the docs mentioned here and also https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexicographical_data/Ideas_of_queries .

@danshick-wmde and @Addshore, as I mentioned above in "Suggestions" section, there is no information about the required extensions at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Data_type, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Properties/Reports/Datatypes and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ListDatatypes.

In T278674#6979190, @Addshore wrote:

This missing part is not in the install section, but in the prerequisites https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Score#Prerequisites

These suggestions are quite welcome. The docker documentation page is extremely old and out of date.

Adding @danshick-wmde as this very much seems to be on the topic of documentation for setting up a WIkibase

First of two SME interviews happened today!

There's a new video of live editing Lexemes thanks to @Ainali and @Abbe98 ! What do you think @Quiddity, is that going in the direction of what you're looking for here?

@WMDE-leszek I'm going to reach out to you today about conducting a subject-matter expert interview about this topic in the coming days.

Just a minor comment: may be docker exec demo-wdqs bash could be changed to a more common docker exec wikibase_wdqs_1 bash at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/FAQ#Why_doesn't_the_query_service_update?.

@Kris_Litson_WMDE

The starting point for this task is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Docker .

Let's talk soon about how the ways in which this task goes beyond https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Suite .

Proposed outline:

Proposed outline:

• Brief overview with links for context
• History
• Properties suitable for each case
  • Examples

Proposed simple outline:

SMEs could conceivably include @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE , @MichaelSchoenitzer_WMDE , @Fnielsen , @Okkn and others who've created more than one tool on the "Lexicographical data" page.

Thanks for this. Information added to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Suite#QuickStatements .

hello @danshick-wmde, just checking how this write up looks from your side?

This is awesome, thank you! I'll run through this and hit you back with any questions ASAP.

No special instructions / problems for Scribunto just clone and add the extension

then in LocalSettings.php

(I reinserted the "Creating an account" section into the main document with my clarifications and changes.)

As always, it's a question of what the audience finds most usable. Personally, I think if the audience is likely to search for things using Ctrl-F then my input is not needed -- that means the audience is highly technical and already knows what they're looking for on the page. I will defer to your superior knowledge about the page's audience and revert my changes.

We had discussed my revamping the help page for Phabricator, which at the time I thought we agreed needed some serious work, and you invited me to go in and make changes. These are the changes I propose. If you no longer want me to make this page more readable and usable as a technical writer, I'm happy to revert my changes and close this ticket.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Installation/Advanced_configuration is an outdated document. Trying to determine whether to unflag it as outdated or to move the contents that are stlll current elsewhere.

As a technical writer I'd like to be able to write instructions to a user installing Scribunto manually; these instructions exist in part, but I'd benefit from knowing about any special install instructions or problems.

The results/worklog from the install process for OAuth and integration with QuickStatements should flow into the hands of the technical writer for inclusion here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Suite#OAuth

The results/worklog from the install process for QS should flow into the hands of the technical writer for inclusion here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Suite#QuickStatements

Thank you!

@Addshore @LucasWerkmeister I would be very grateful if you could make this happen this week.

Thanks for the context, @Peachey88 . My suggestion here is that there be a text label, regardless of the icon.

In T268717#6647675, @Peachey88 wrote:

There is one already (It has the defaults, until personally customized), Although the icon probably isn't the most obvious icon for new users.

Thanks for the followup. Here's hoping @ShiehJ will have her team weigh in on this.

Reviewed and edited.

I've done as you requested. I respectfully request that if Herald allows functionality that is rejected by organizational policy, that functionality should be disabled if possible or at least red-flagged on the page that enables it, or on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help/Herald_Rules .

Thanks for testing! Beat me to it :)

Maybe I've already succeeded in doing this thanks to @Kizule 's suggestions in T265448 ...

Thank you, I tried it!

Thanks @Kizule ! I opened https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265453 since you said I would need another Phab task for it. If I can set my own Herald rules, please direct me to the documentation. Much appreciated --

Thank you for the speedy action! I don't know what a Herald rule is, but I assume you're saying I'd need one for setting a default assignee. Will do --

For WMDE-Technical-Writing the default assignee should be me.

Merged.

PR to come today.

Looking forward to reviewing it --
