# Wikidata Local Dev Setup

This repository contains a default configuration and wiki creation script to get to a local development setup that somewhat mirrors

Wikidata and a Wikipedia wiki.

It is inherently perpetually in progress.

## Installation

### Preparations

The files/scripts here are intended to work together with the [mwcli](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cli) development environment.

1. Make sure you have installed mwcli: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cli/guide/Installation

2. Make sure you have completed its first-time setup: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cli/guide/Docker-Development-Environment/First-Setup

    - this includes making sure you have a `LocalSettings.php` file in the root directory of your `mediawiki core` clone

### Required extensions and skins

These default settings assume some extensions to be present.

The best way to get them is to filter for them in the [list of all repositories](https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/repos),

and then clone them (with the long command including the `commit-msg` hook) directly into `mediawiki/extensions/`.

* Wikibase

* WikibaseLexeme

* WikibaseQualityConstraints

* EntitySchema

* Scribunto

* ArticlePlaceholder

* MobileFrontend

* WikimediaBadges

Further, two skins are needed:

* Vector, which should have been installed as part of the mwcli first-time setup above

* MinervaNeue, which can be cloned with the process described above, but this time into the directory `mediawiki/skins/`.

### Link the files

For the contents in this repository to work, the favicons and the `DefaultLocalSettings.php` have to be _hard-linked_ into the `mediawiki/` directory.

You can install the files correctly by running:

```shell

./linkFilesToMediawikiDirectory.sh 

```

**This linking step has to be repeated after each `git pull` or similar in the current repository!**

### Load the default settings

Then, in your `LocalSettings.php` (which must already be inside the mediawiki directory) somewhere in the beginning, after requiring the docker-related LocalSettings, add the following:

```php

require_once __DIR__ . '/DefaultLocalSettings.php';

```

For example, the top of my own `mediawiki/LocalSettings.php` looks like this:

```php
