            Bug ID: 49236
           Summary: populateSitesTable.php load-from should be
                    configurable via a $wg setting
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: WikidataRepo
          Assignee: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org

The populateSitesTable.php will, by default, hit meta.wikimedia.org API to
fetch the site Matrix.  When setting up Wikidata for beta (bug 47827), that
populate the sites and site_identifiers tables with production data which was
not really what we wanted there.

I had to truncate the database tables then rerun the script using --load-from.

To make it easier to populate the tables, it would be nice to be able to set
the site matrix remote URL via a $wg setting ( $wgWikibaseSiteMatrixUrl ? ). 
This way we will not have to remember about using --load-from on beta.
