Sourcing content

To get NearbyPages showing articles from your favorite mediawiki instance you'll need to first config the $wgNearbyPagesUrl config variable.

$wgNearbyPagesUrl = "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php";

For wikidata wikis a little more configuration is required like so:

$wgNearbyPagesNamespaces = [ 640, 146, 0 ];
$wgNearbyPagesWikidataCompatibility = true;
$wgNearbyPagesUrl = "https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php";

To avoid compatibility issues, ensure that MobileFrontend version 2.3.0 is running.

You can begin development on Special:NearbyPages with 2 simple commands:

npm install
npm start

To develop on Wikidata using this mode, edit resources/ext.nearby.scripts/config.json before running the command substituting the following values:

NearbyPagesNamespaces: [ 640, 146, 0 ],
NearbyPagesUrl: 'https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php',
NearbyPagesWikidataCompatibility: true
