A idea in relation to this scope: On display of Remote Entities perhaps we should have a clear but subtle visual indicator for how up-to-date an item is: like a circle which green if the entity has been updated in last month, and yellow/red if older than that. Perhaps these thresholds could be configurable per instance.

A basic storage pattern explored and brought down to an initial possible implementation to be extended or further researched here: https://github.com/lorenjohnson/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/pull/3

Current WIP is at https://github.com/lorenjohnson/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/pull/2, and will be squashed into a Gerrit Patch once we're on more solid ground.

My recommendation for completing this work would be these two tasks in this order:

Here’s a short wiring sketch and notes for adding this federatedStatementValuesEnabled setting (naming TBD) for Federated Statement Values (FSV). This follows the same pattern as was done with the Federated Proeperties proof of concept (i.e federatedPropertiesEnabled)

All very helpful, and I think you nailed it with 👍🏼: "just the URL of the wikibase instance" (e.g. either the WIKIBASE_PUBLIC_URL or WDQS_PUBLIC_URL, both of which we currently already send into the wdqs_frontend service in the Deploy product). So yes, this is what I'd recommend we use as the base of the agent identifier when address this ticket.

This brings up two open questions for me:

@Leif_WMDE, as discussed I have created 3 tickets for work I think should be approached in this first iteration of breaking into and refining the Federated Properties proof of concept, moving us closer to a true MVP of the feature. They are currently in this Sprint Backlog as:
