So assuming you don't like the structure of this: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Database_layout/diagram/1.34.0&action=edit

See also the extension DebugMode, quite versatile and possibly a source of inspiration about good debugging parameters.

Also https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Revision_table is outdated

It seems done to me.

FYI: I ran it on a bunch more wiktionaries and all worked. I also tried running it on incubatorwiki and sourceswiki, but both failed (I inserted the necessary row manually on those two).

It might cause fatals here and there. Proceed with caution. One reason is that compact language links is the default in most wikis so it never reaches InterwikiSortOrder.php

I just ran it on several wiktionaries and it seemed to work?

We can't run populateSitesTable.php on prod now because the InterwikiSortOrder.php doesn't contain language of some wikis that have been recently created. See T209820: Add Wikidata support to new wikis

It looks like it's just that the need to run populateSitesTable.php when enabling Wikibase on wikis never made it into the right documentation.

Based on Brad comment at T210732#4785277 that might have regressed :(
