I have mediawiki installed, and wikibase installed as well,

The question here, How can i access wikibase? to confirm that its working or functioning.

I think you want to check your own Special:SpecialPages and see if it lists the special pages to create properties as well as items. These should be in a "Wikibase" section at the bottom of the page. It might be that you can't access Special:NewProperty if you are not an administrator. However, it should be possible to create your first item without having any properties.

i have it and i can access Special:NewProperty, but its being active on pages.


for each and every page here or on wikipedia, you will get a link named Wikidata item, i can't find this link

i only have one wiki, and i dont wont to link to a different wiki, i only want o show wikidata inside page information, is it possible for single wiki

What do you want to achieve?

There is not much value in linking pages (e.g. in the main namespace) to items (e.g. in an Item: namespace) on the same wiki. You can try doing this by setting up Repo and Client the same time. But the as far as I know only advantage you have is that you can use certain functions in the main namespace (e.g. {{#statements:…}}) without naming the Q-ID of the item.

I only wanted to maintain values of templates, for instance, the template that gets information of Wayback machine here at this link;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayback_Machine

All the required information are being directly fetched from wikibase, while at the same time i can't fetch it on my wiki.

You looks more experienced than I do, you might be able to help me form my question in a better way.


Thank you for being active here

Do you want to create your own data repository, or do you want to reuse data from wikidata.org? The later is not yet possible.

Abdulaziz Alwafaee (talkcontribs)

reusing data from wikidata is not possible, and i do understand this, but how to create my own data, i have no idea, I've installed everything, and all are working with no errors, but i only miss something to do which i dont know what.

if you want i can share access with you,
