'''EVALUATING'''

'''Cargo and Page Forms'''
Considering [[mw:Extension:Cargo]] and [[mw:Extension:Page Forms]] for structured data in-wiki for [[ssfwiki:SSF:About|SSFWIKI]]. Other alternative would be [[mw:Wikibase]].

The case of SSFWIKI is much simpler whereas Consumerium's case is very complicated to start with because of the vast interoperability demands for the [[knowledge graphs]]. In SSFWIKI I would use Cargo mostly for storing metadata about outgoing links and generate user friendly lists from those. 

Yaron Koren wrote Cargo and he has also written the [https://workingwithmediawiki.com/book/ ''''''Working with MediaWiki''''' book at workingwithmediawiki.com]. In the book the relevant parts are found in [https://workingwithmediawiki.com/book/chapter16.html Chapter 16 - ''Cargo and Semantic MediaWiki''] and [https://workingwithmediawiki.com/book/chapter17.html Chapter 17 - ''Page Forms''].

The experience from setting up a simpler case would help me learn how it would be possible to solve the things that Consumerium needs to function.

* Upgraded the MediaWiki to 1.39.7, tested a bit that the wiki and plugins work as expected, made and verified backups and took a snapshot. One bump in the road was that the [[mw:Extension:MatomoAnalytics]], which is maintained by the kind folks at Miraheze, no longer supports the old LTS, even though the next LTS is projected to arrive in December 2025. A solution to the problem was to git checkout the last known commit that maintains compatibility with the MediaWiki 1.39-branch, which was <code>git checkout e63a479</code>. Thanks to all who helped, you know who you are.
