This document describes the configuration of the Wikibase extensions.

As usual, the extension is configured in MediaWiki's LocalSettings.php file. However, Wikibase settings are placed in associative arrays,  and   respectively, instead of individual global variables. So, if the setting  is described below, you would need to use   or   in LocalSettings.php.

Basic Settings

 * changesDatabase
 * The database that changes are recorded to for processing by clients. This must be set to a symbolic database identifier that MediaWiki's LBFactory class understands;  means that the wiki's own database shall be used.
 * NOTE: On the client, this setting should usually be the same as the repoDatabase setting.


 * siteLinkGroups
 * The site groups to use in sitelinks. Must correspond to a value used to give the site group in the MediaWiki  table. This defines which groups of sites can be linked to Wikibase items.
 * DEFAULT: is  (This defines which groups of sites can be linked to Wikibase items.)
 * NOTE: This setting replaces the old siteLinkGroup' setting, which only allowed for a single group.


 * specialSiteLinkGroups
 * This maps one or more site groups into a single “special” group. This is useful if sites from multiple site groups should be shown in a single “special” section on item pages, instead of one section per site group. To show these site-groups you have to add the group “special” to the siteLinkGroups setting (see above).


 * entitySources
 * An associative array mapping entity source names to settings relevant to the particular source. Configuration of each source is an associative array containing the following keys:
 * 'entityNamespaces': A map of entity type identifiers (strings) that the local wiki supports from the foreign repository to namespaces (IDs or canonical names) related to pages of entities of the given type on foreign repository's wiki. If entities are stored in alternative slots, the syntax / can be used to define which slot to use.
 * 'repoDatabase': A symbolic database identifier (string) that MediaWiki's LBFactory class understands. Note that  would mean “this wiki's database”.
 * 'baseUri': A base URI (string) for concept URIs. It should contain scheme and authority part of the URI.
 * 'interwikiPrefix': An interwiki prefix configured in the local wiki referring to the wiki related to the entity source.
 * 'rdfNodeNamespacePrefix': A prefix used in RDF turtle node namespaces, e.g. 'wd' would result in namespaces like 'wd' for the entity namespace, and 'wdt' for the direct claim namespace, whereas 'sdc' prefix would result in the namespaces 'sdc' and 'sdct' accordingly.
 * 'rdfPredicateNamespacePrefix': A prefix used in RDF turtle predicate namespaces, e.g. '' would result in namespaces like 'ps' for the simple value claim namespace, whereas 'sdc' prefix would result in the namespace 'sdcps'.

Expert Settings

 * sharedCacheKeyGroup
 * Group name for a group of Wikibases. Similar to sharedCacheKeyPrefix and normally a part of sharedCacheKeyPrefix, however this shared cache key group should be used as a part of keys generated within Wikibase.
 * DEFAULT: Constructed from.


 * sharedCacheKeyPrefix
 * Prefix to use for cache keys that should be shared among a wikibase repo and all its clients. In order to share caches between clients (and the repo), set a prefix based on the repo's name and  or a similar version ID.
 * DEFAULT: Constructed from  and.
 * NOTE: The default may change in order to use the repo's database name automatically.


 * sharedCacheDuration
 * The duration of entries in the shared object cache, in seconds.
 * DEFAULT: 3600 seconds (1 hour).

 * DEFAULT:
 * NOTE: If this is, the   script should run periodically to remove old changes from the database table.


 * disabledDataTypes
 * Array listing of disabled data types on a wiki. This setting is intended to be used in a new Wikibase installation without items yet, or to control deployment of new data types. This setting should be set to the same value in both client and repo settings.
 * DEFAULT: empty array


 * maxSerializedEntitySize
 * The maximum serialized size of entities, in KB. Loading and storing will fail if this size is exceeded. This is intended as a hard limit that prevents very large chunks of data being stored or processed due to abuse or erroneous code.
 * DEFAULT:


 * geoShapeStorageBaseUrl

 * tabularDataStorageBaseUrl
 * Base URL of tabular data storage frontend. Used primarily to build links to the tabular data pages. Will be concatenated with the page title, so should end with  or  . Special characters (e.g. space, percent, etc.) should not be encoded.


 * useTermsTableSearchFields
 * Whether to use the search-related fields ( and  ) of the   table. This should not be disabled unless some other search backend is used (see   below).

Basic Settings

 * entityNamespaces
 * Defines which kind of entity is managed in which namespace. It is given as an associative array mapping entity types such as  to namespaces (IDs or canonical names). Mapping must be done for each type of entity that should be supported. If entities are stored in alternative slots, the syntax / can be used to define which slot to use.


 * dataRightsUrl

 * DEFAULT:  (An empty array, indicating no local client databases.)


 * foreignRepositories
 * An associative array mapping foreign repository names to settings relevant to the particular repository. Each repository's settings are an associative array containing the following keys:
 * 'entityNamespaces'
 * A map of entity type identifiers (strings) that the local wiki supports from the foreign repository to namespaces (IDs or canonical names) related to pages of entities of the given type on foreign repository's wiki. If entities are stored in alternative slots, the syntax / can be used to define which slot to use.
 * 'repoDatabase'
 * A symbolic database identifier (string) that MediaWiki's LBFactory class understands.
 * 'baseUri'

 * searchIndexProperties
 * Array of properties (by ID string) that should be included in the  field of the search index. Relevant only for search engines supporting it.

 * DEFAULT:.
 * NOTE: This setting will be removed once we can take this information from the sites table.


 * siteGroup
 * This site's site group (e.g.  or  ) as used in the sites table. The setting is optional and falls back to site store lookup. For performance reasons, it may be desirable to set this explicitly to avoid lookups.


 * repoSiteId
 * Site ID of connected repository wiki. Default is to assume both client and repo are the same.
 * DEFAULT:


 * repoSiteName
 * Site name of the connected repository wiki. Default is to assume client and repo are same wiki, so defaults to global $wgSitename setting. If not the same wiki, defaults to 'Wikidata'. This setting can also be set to an i18n message key and will be handled as a message, if the message key exists so that the repo site name can be translatable.
 * DEFAULT:

 * otherProjectsLinks
 * Site global ID list of sites which should be linked in the other project's sidebar section. Empty value will suppress this section.


 * propertyOrderUrl
 * URL to use for retrieving the property order used for sorting properties by property ID. Will be ignored if set to null.

Expert Settings

 * injectRecentChanges
 * Whether changes on the repository should be injected into this wiki's recent changes table, so they show up on watchlists, etc. Requires the  script to run, and this wiki to be listed in the   setting on the repository.


 * showExternalRecentChanges
 * Whether changes on the repository should be displayed on Special:RecentChanges, Special:Watchlist, etc on the client wiki. In contrast to, this setting just removes the changes from the user interface. This is intended to temporarily prevent external changes from showing in order to find or fix some issue on a live site.
 * DEFAULT:


 * sendEchoNotification
 * If true, allows users on the client wiki to get a notification when a page they created is connected to a repo item. This requires the Echo extension.


 * echoIcon
 * If  is set to , you can also provide what icon the user will see. The correct syntax is   or   where   is relative to.
 * DEFAULT:  (That is there will be the default Echo icon.)


 * disabledUsageAspects
 * Array of usage aspects that should not be saved in the  table. This supports aspect codes (like “T”, “L” or “X”), but not full aspect keys (like “L.de”). For example   can be used to disable description and statement usages. A replacement usage type can be given in the form of.


 * fineGrainedLuaTracking
 * Enable fine-grained tracking on entities accessed through Lua in client. Not all (X) usage will be recorded, but each aspect will be recorded individually based on actual usage.


 * wikiPageUpdaterDbBatchSize
 * DEPRECATED. If set, acts as a default for purgeCacheBatchSize and recentChangesBatchSize.


 * purgeCacheBatchSize
 * Number of pages to process in each HTMLCacheUpdateJob, a job used to send client wikis notifications about relevant changes to entities. Higher value mean fewer jobs but longer run-time per job.

 * recentChangesBatchSize
 * Number of  table rows to create in each InjectRCRecordsJob, a job used to send client wikis notifications about relevant changes to entities. Higher value mean fewer jobs but longer run-time per job.
 * DEFAULT: wikiPageUpdaterDbBatchSize (for backwards compatibility) or MediaWiki core's  (which currently defaults to 300).


 * entityUsageModifierLimits
 * Associative array mapping usage type to the limit. If number of modifiers for the given aspect of an entity passes this limit, it turns all modifiers to a general entity usage in the given aspect. This is useful when with bad lua, a page in client uses all languages or statements in the repo causing the wbc_entity_usage become too big.
 * referencedEntityIdAccessLimit
 * Maximum number of calls to  allowed on a single page.


 * referencedEntityIdMaxDepth
 * Maximum search depth for referenced entities in.


 * referencedEntityIdMaxReferencedEntityVisits
 * Maximum number of entities to visit in a  call.

 * dataBridgeHrefRegExp
 * Regular expression to match edit links for which the Data Bridge is enabled. Uses JavaScript syntax, with the first capturing group containing the title of the entity, the second one containing the entity ID (usually a part of the first capturing group) and the third one containing the property ID to edit. Mandatory if  is set to   – there is no default value.


 * dataBridgeEditTags
 * A list of tags for tracking edits through the Data Bridge. Optional if  is set to , with a default value of  . Please note: you also have to create those tags in the target repository via Special:Tags.
