**Feature summary** (what you would like to be able to do and where): We're a group of researchers from King's College London, where we've developed ProVe (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:ProVe) a tool for helping editors improve the references of Wikidata items.
We have a solid ~1K users and 17k API calls, and we'd like to have ProVe promoted as a Gadget. However, for this we need to move part of our infrastructure from the university's HPC cluster to Wikimedia infrastrucutre/CloudVPS, as we're told Gadgets shouldn't call external services.
A brief with the current architecture and what needs to be moved to CloudVPS is here: https://emckclac-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/k2037030_kcl_ac_uk/ETDoiIcojfpPh1j6cb3j9UEBSTLx9jGJP8-H8pa0dQg9mA?e=hM0AWH
We'd very much appreciate guidance on how to get started with a CloudVPS instance to get this part of the infrastructure moved. Thanks!
**Use case(s)** (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution): ProVe is a tool for helping editors improve the references of Wikidata items. In general, Wikidata item statements should be verifiable and referenced by a source (e.g. a book, scientific paper, etc.). However, a large number of Wikidata item statements do not provide any reference and, if they do, such references are of varying quality which tends to decay over time. ProVe helps with this by providing information about the quality of the references of Wikidata items, based on techniques such as large language models, triple verbalisation, and semantic similairty.
**Benefits** (why should this be implemented?): General improvement of Wikidata reference quality
