This by itself won't work as the dependencies aren't defined correctly mw.loader.load('jquery.wikibase.linkitem') Exception in module-execute in module jquery.wikibase.linkitem: load.php:2:530 TypeError: "repoConfig is null" In T259211#6347466 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259211#6347466>, @Ladsgroup wrote: > Hey, > Technically it's intentional. RepoApi is a bad module. It's confusing (which repo? Commons is also a repo) and doesn't bring much value (you can use `mw.Api` instead in WMF, as the URL to wikidata.org likely won't change) and having an extra module brings its own cost. > ... > I highly recommend not using this module anymore. Also according to stable interface policy <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Stable_Interface_Policy>, javascript code is unstable and prone to change with prior notice I don't find RepoApi as bad module - it is just convenient JS wrapper for PHP api and aligns with how MW core is doing with mediawiki.api. From client side (client in the meaning of browser, not in the meaning of Wikibase client) it is really useful as you can find it in entityChangers or any other client side Wikidata code. When there are multiple consumers for API module, it is better to split it from the UI module IMO.
