If this gets done, potential steps afterwards could be

• declining the Phab tasks https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/?project=PHID-PROJ-xf4kosn2mznrth6uclvk&statuses=open()#R
• archiving the Phab project fixcopyright.wikimedia.org
• archiving the Gerrit repositories mediawiki/extensions/EUCopyrightCampaign and mediawiki/skins/EUCopyrightCampaignSkin? (See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/33/ for how to plan that.)

The Phab tasks contain some lessons learned. I agree they should be declined, but those lessons learned should be captured somewhere first. I will take care of that.

As noted in the second last bullet, it is desired that we not archive the extension and skin, as they will be potentially instructive in the future. If they are archived, will the code still be accessible somehow?

@Aklapper re. point 3: @CCicalese_WMF above mentions that she does not want those extensions archived :) Agreed with the other two points in principle, but I shall check with more time tomorrow as it's late here.

I object to deletion: as long as we still own the domain names (that is, "we" being the WMF, not us personally), URIs should stay active and point to something meaningful. The only thing we ever should have outright deleted was the Siberian Wikipedia.

See T187716: Sunset Wikipedia Zero (include https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/521886) where a wiki is deleted and not redirected.

Funneling the domain to a static page is easy and seems prudent indeed, in particular as the domain was involved in a social media campaign and has many incoming links even if their traffic is currently dormant it would be a long-term missed education and branding moment not to direct it somewhere. Destinations like https://policy.wikimedia.org/policy-landing/copyright/ or https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fix_copyright seem like viable candidates.

@Krinkle Agreed. Legal has requested that we send traffic to the first URL you mention, https://policy.wikimedia.org/policy-landing/copyright/.

• Remove references from the CentralAuth database.

This item is checked but I still see it in meta_p.wiki on the Toolforge replicas. Could that row be removed?

I believe that that's T246056.

@Krinkle Are there any more items mentioned in T203899#4895417 that need to be done?

Is the item above about purging jobs from the job queue still relevant?

Once those two items are resolved, I will retire fixcopyright.wikimedia.org and resolve this task.

• JobQueue: I defer to CPT. I'm not sure how to check that.

• Regarding T203899#4895417: The only thing mentioned there not yet addres here is the VCL overrides. However those were already removed last year at T203179#5294966, so that's all good.

Looking at code search (link), I found two remaining items:

• The mediawiki vhost for fixcopyright.wikimedia.org is still configured and deployed (albeit unreachable). See puppet: mediawiki/apache/sites/wikimedia.conf and puppet: mediawiki/web/prod_sites.pp.
• The sitematrix for Parsoid seems to contain a reference still (parsoid: config/wmf.sitematrix.json). This is auto-generated by a script (I forget which one, ping @Urbanecm and @cscott), which probably needs to be re-run, and then deployed.

@Pchelolo Do you have any insight on the job queue question? Thanks!

Purge jobs for this wiki from the JobQueue.

There's no need to do this step in WMF Kafka-based jobqueue.

Unless they're actively being used or planned on being used, it's a maintenance burden to keep them around and I would recommend archiving them. Archiving is explicitly not deletion, the code will still be forever available in the Git repository, and it is straightforward to reverse archival in case someone does want revive the skin/extension again.

Makes sense. At this point, I think it makes sense to archive EUCopyrightCampaign and EUCopyrightCampaignSkin.

I filed T256690: Archive the EUCopyrightCampaign extension and T256691: Archive the EUCopyrightCampaignSkin skin.

Thank you, @Legoktm!

The ticket was open because not all checkboxes were checked yet. One is the removal of the tag in Phabricator.

I clicked "archive project" on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/fixcopyright.wikimedia.org/
