EVALUATING

Cargo and Page Forms Considering mw:Extension:Cargo and mw:Extension:Page Forms for structured data in-wiki for 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 'Working with MediaWiki book at workingwithmediawiki.com. In the book the relevant parts are found in Chapter 16 - Cargo and Semantic MediaWiki and 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 git checkout e63a479. Thanks to all who helped, you know who you are.
