It seems like you two are seeking some advice, so I can be very straightforward about all this.

[…] we need to take care in drafting such a proposal and giving everyone the opportunity to comment/come up with proposals and amendments before making it an RfC.

Please, spend some serious time drafting such an RfC.

This is a massive proposal, and I would highly, highly recommend you go into this prepared.

I just had a look at Commons RfC and it seems to me a very good example on how we should present this project as well. Sorry I did not know about the whole RfC mechanism in Miraheze.
@Ugochimobi @Agent_Isai if it's fine with you, I would proceed creating the RfC there in the next few days.

If you wish to establish another "official" Miraheze wiki to host this global Wikibase installation, this proposal would likely require an RfC to back it. Commons was established following this RfC in 2017 and Developers Wiki following is this Community noticeboard thread. I suggest you propose it on the Community noticeboard and request feedback from users on active forums such as Discord and IRC to see what others think before making a fully fledged Request for Comments should you wish to go forward with this.

You're right Agent, a formal Community noticeboard would make sense.
But what do you think personally? As a CES, would you want to ask us some necessary questions for us to enlighten you more so that you can carry it yourself to the CN or would you still prefer us to take it ourselves?

New wikis will appear in other wikis site tables every few weeks (5AM 5th & 20th) I've not timed how long a run takes but we could consider running it more often.

As the code currently indicates, when the last update was made to it. 1.36 was the only version it worked with. Mediawiki core patches have now been backported so 1.35.3 will work once we update our code. I'll reopen this to take account of that. The code should be the source of truth as of when it was committed, we often don't update the mw.org docs.

Docs are outdated. It's a wiki so feel free to update :)
(In future, I've done it now)

Closing this as invalid as it's simply a tracking task for 3 seperate issues/requests

This will just get overridden once the script works. We need to find a method to add other wikis to the script that populates it and get that working.

That won't help, the script that we use to populate the sites table of wikis is failing because the column isn't big enough for the data it needs to hold. We're going to have that issue whatever way we try and import the table.

I can see about the standard wikimedia ones if we can modify the script we reuse. I'd just leave the info on other wikis you want added here and we can work on it.

and it's failing, see T6044: populateWikibaseSitesTable.php fails with Error: 1406 Data too long for column 'site_global_key' at row 1 (db11.miraheze.org)

Only Miraheze Wikis, it should be running when you turn the extension on as well but I'll do a manual run for your wiki.

@Paladox: You've dealt with similar issues before, would you mind proposing whatever change needs to be done and/or applying it to our tables?

The sites table is populated every 2 weeks for all wikis with all Miraheze wikis.

Regarding the sites table, the answer is no as it would be overwritten anyway every 2 weeks unless we modified the global one.
