The problem is two-fold. One is that wikimaniawiki is not linkable in wikidata (the site link is not possible). This is rather easiliy fixable and I can do it. The second part is that wikimaniawiki become a client of wikidata. That needs creating tables and such. I can do that too.

Yay! Thanks Amir!

Feel free to test it, if you have any issue, let us know :)

I don't see the links to other wiki's on Wikimaniawiki. Also checked nlwiki and there I see a link to Wikimaniawiki.

Very true. Two examples

Hello all,

Quick update: the links don't appear because the section "In other projects" doesn't seem to be enabled on wikimaniawiki. (see how it is on meta for example). Once this section is enabled, you should be able to have the other wikimedia projects links displayed.

(btw, the wikimediawiki link is displayed as "⧼wikibase-otherprojects-wikimania⧽", can someone fix it?

That needs to be done via translatewiki.net. Or locally on each project by creating MediaWiki:Wikibase-otherprojects-wikimania and add the localized name there.

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Set $wmgWikibaseSiteGroup for wikimaniawiki

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/498440

@Lydia_Pintscher I see 1 unmerged patch related to this ticket. That doesn't look fixed to me. And I noticed that Template:Done still doesn't show interwiki links and I can't link it to other wikis. I click on Add links in the sidebar, the popup appears and when I enter nlwiki in the first field, nothing happens. (Could be caused by the unmerged patch that needs to be deployed).

Yes, there's one small bit that needs deployment which I couldn't do in Friday as we don't deploy on Fridays. I will do it tomorrow.

Pages need to be purged before the interwikilinks are shown (tested it with https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Done), but then do indeed do work.
And the add links popup now works too. So now this really is resolved.

Works for me. I have purged the few pages that I have done, and they were more predominantly test edits, so less fussed on their updatedness. Thanks @Ladsgroup
