| Wikibase Client is an extension that acts as a client to the Wikibase extension. Its development is part of the Wikidata project. Wikibase Client obtains [[interlanguage]] links from a Wikibase repository via a shared changes database table and polling maintenance script, and displays them on the client wiki. Links are sorted by the client's preferred sorting. | |||
