Topic on Talk:Wikibase

At some point in the past, this page, or something this page pointed to, actually told you how to install the Wikibase extension. It doesn't seem to any more.

I want to link to (or at least be able to copy) some documentation that says how to install the extension for development reasons, what LocalSettings lines are needed when installing the extension, does install.php need to be run?

As far as I can tell, that is no longer the case, and I can't easily find the documentation to point to for how to install the extension for a blog post that I am writing.

An example from another extension would be https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cognate#Installation

Ping @Dan Shick (WMDE):

After some searching through older version of this page I found these install pages exist, but go far above this basic installation introduction https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Installation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Installation/Advanced_configuration, and are not currently linked from the landing page.

Thoughts?

Go for it. Maybe put it on a different page though and link that page to here?

See https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Wikibase_main_page&diff=prev&oldid=6573122 which links to a page for the extension from the Wikibase landing page.

And https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Extension for a first version of the page itself.

And on second thoughts, to align with the rest of mediawiki.org a little more, this page I have just created should probably just live at Extension:Wikibase, and have a banner at the top that also directs people to this wider Wikibase landing page.

Thoughts?
