Topic on Extension talk:Wikibase Repository

The instructions for the download may be hard to understand: If the person does not know git, it is hard to get what all this stuff in the list is about. And it seems that the list is actually there if people don't know git, since those who do, can do git clone ….

Suggestions:

• Shorten the list and make create a link to the most current stable (and a beta)
• The infos on how the repo is structured are interesting and can be helpful but may be moved to another section
• Installing via git actually makes sense (e.g. because easier updates) – maybe it makes sense to tell about this advantage since even minimal git knowledge is sufficient to enjoy it.

Does this make sense? I could do this changes.

I agree this section is more confusing than helpful, especially since the most relevant "browse tags" link leads to an empty list. Go ahead, change it. But please avoid permanent links to any "most current" version because we will not be able to update such links every time the current state changes.

I just see that the part I described as confusing is a template (Template:WikimediaGitCheckout) which is used on amost 400 other pages. So I would defer any changes, and voice the concerns on the discussion page there.

> But please avoid permanent links to any "most current" version

Yes, I do. It was just in the case that there exists a static link that will always lead to the latest release, like link to latest release on github
