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: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
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.
