Bug ID: 46988
Summary: WikidataClient should provide repository url and path
and interwiki id for gadgets and userscripts
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataClient
Assignee: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: cacycl...@gmail.com
CC: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Gadgets and userscripts that interact with wikibase (wikidata) references in
articles need the repository url and path and the interwiki id of the current
wiki on the repository.
An example is the editor gadget wikEd that linkifies {{#property:}} variables
in wiki text, allowing to open the referenced page in the repository by
ctrl-clicking.
On Wikipedia, it is relatively easy to guess interwiki id and repo and it is
often possible to get the repo path from the interlanguage edit link. However,
these workarounds fail on non-Wikipedia wikis that use other repos.
Therefore, gadgets and userscripts need wg-like variables for this. If these
already exist, please document this crucial information.
