# Wikibase Suite (WBS)
WBS is a DevOps product designed to simplify the deployment and maintenance of a customizable installation and configuration of MediaWiki with the Wikibase extension. It includes required and commonly used companion services such as WDQS and QuickStatements.
The intended audience for WBS includes those who require a Wikibase instance not served by Wikibase Cloud.
The product consists of two related deliverables:
**WBS Docker Images**
Standardized, tested, and configurable Docker Image distributions of common Wikibase services (WBS Docker Images).
- Wikibase (wikibase/wikibase)
A configured MediaWiki instance packaged with the Wikibase extension
- Wikibase Bundle (wikibase/wikibase-bundle)
A configured MediaWiki instance packaged with Wikibase and other related and commonly used extensions
- Wikidata Query Service (wikibase/wdqs, wikibase/wdqs-proxy, and wikibase/wdqs-frontend)
- QuickStatements (wikibase/quickstatements)
- Elasticsearch (wikibase/elasticsearch)
**WBS Deployment Kit**
All of the above services orchestrated to run together along with related documentation and guidance for running those services in a production environment.

# Planning
> UX Metrics Key:
> 1: No way to do it
> 2: Possible but hacky (still pretty broken)
> 3: “Good enough” works but misses key functionality
> 4: All key functionality available
> 5: Includes quality of life features that expand functionality or improve ux
