Topic on Extension talk:Wikibase Client

I installed wikibase lib and client Configured as follows $wgWBSettings['repoUrl'] = '//www.wikidata.org'; $wgWBSettings['repoScriptPath'] = '/mediawiki'; $wgWBSettings['repoArticlePath'] = '/mediawiki/$1'; $wgWBSettings['siteGlobalID'] = 'mywiki'; $wgWBSettings['repoDatabase'] = 'mwikidb'; $wgWBSettings['changesDatabase'] = 'mywikidb';

I tried to get a property from repoUrl with: {{#property:q260}} but nothing happen .

Some hints how to configure or use wikidata in mywiki ?

Regards g

Do you have Wikibase Repo enabled somewhere? Wikibase Client cannot access wikidata.org, except for within wikimedia servers where the wikidata clients (e.g. wikipedia) are able to access the wikidata database directly. If you have your own Wikibase Repo instance, then update repoUrl and double check the repoDatabase setting (e.g. do you really intend it to be different from changesDatabase?). Cheers.

I was thinking it should be possible to have the client only as reader, to access the wikidata data. FYI: I defined my own Wikibase Repo and it was working, but this was not the original goal,

Thanks g

A third-party client like you want to do it is not possible yet.

It should not be far off... Maybe we ought to provide a list of things not working yet. This is all I can think off, and those are just guesses as I'm not up to speed with client state:

• No change propagation system usable by non-WMF available yet, would need custom coding/setup from third party side at present
• Not able to write back to repo due to cross domain request policies messing with API requests (this one I'm really not sure about)

Anything else?

Is it possible now? Or not yet? I would like to access to Wikidata data from an external wiki. Is there any workaround? Thanks.

It's not possible yet and to be honest there are a ton of more important things we need to do before we get to this  :/

It's been a while. Is this possible yet?
