Great :)

let's see how far we can get with a general "MW-Vagrant (WMF?) testing

It does yup. I've already tagged the bug with it. I'm hoping by tackling
this we can come up with a common solution. The way I imagine this working
in future is we have various vagrant roles for stock data e.g.
reading-web-stock-data, editing-web-stock-data, sad-web-stock-data
There would also be non team specific stock data that might be a sub role
of this, for example, the reading web team commonly has to setup the
wikidata role and manually create articles in the wikidata instance and
local instance that are tied to each other - this takes a ridiculous amount
of time and is one I'm keen to automate, given that we are leaning more
heavily on wikidata descriptions and other data in there.

Rob - I've setup https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/QA/Sample_articles
as a place we can start to collect and think about these pages.
