             Bug #: 37467
           Summary: Corss-dependency: WikibaseLib depends on Wikibase repo
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: WikidataRepo
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


WikibaseLib make use of things that are defined in the Wikibase library,
creating a cross-dependency between the modules. This is a clear indicator that
some things are defined in the wrong place.

On a first look, I found these:

* WBSettings
* CONTENT_MODEL_WIKIBASE_ITEM

Both should be defined in WikibaseLib, not Wikibase, as far as I can see.

The current situation means that the repo extension has to be installed on
client systems, which defies the purpose of the modularization.

But it's especially annoying that WikibaseLib can currently not even be tested
without having Wikibase installed, and finding the *right* version of Wikibase
to test with.
