Dear @Michael , thanks for your effort and thanks for using some of my contributions for the instructions you wrote. I reviewed your text and following please find my considerations: - If this is the right place to add the text depends on what we consider //Standard// and //Advanced// configuration. I agree to put this specific text where you suggest to, but then I am not sure any longer if it make sense to have two separate installation instructions page, instead of one well-organized one - The candidate documentation in my opinion fails to explain the user the concepts behind. As I wrote above, I consider this of paramount importance. The paragraph is titled `Enable SiteLinks`, but nowhere is explained what a "SiteLink" is or what relation has with "Direct Access". In the brief introduction I wrote, those terms were at least referenced and linked - Are we sure that `Extension:WikimediaMessages` must be installed to edit messages? In my installation I was able to modify them by simply editing the page `MediaWiki:Wikibase-sitelinks-yourgroupnamehere` - I would move `$wgWBRepoSettings` //after// the instructions about Sites (if not, //above// and //below// must be adapted) - It seems to me that using `Special:SetSiteLink` is less user-friendly than setting the SiteLink in the related box in the item's page - I think the wiki where //Repository// is installed should be referenced in a clearer way in respect to simply //your wiki//: as we are always talking about wikis, I am not sure it is clear to the users what is the //consumer// and what the //consumed// one I am surely biased here – and this is the reason I would be glad to see other contributions as well – but I still find the instructions more linear and informative the way I originally wrote them. Please bear in mind that I started as an absolute beginner of Wikibase, so the documentation I wrote is the result of the process of learning how to configure Wikibase starting from scratch and formalizing Wikibase concepts by induction.
