Create a wiki for Wikimedia Community User Group Greece
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

We need a separate wiki for Wikimedia Community User Group Greece, where administrative affairs will be discussed and conducted, and all official documents of the organization will be published.
The ug had heavily utilized a wiki hosted elsewhere in the past, but broken after some unsuccesful upgrades that messed the DB.
We will get back some content from the Internet Archive and continue to work in the new wiki.

@MarcoAurelio Where did the logo in the wmf-config patch come from? It looks like the linked Commons file does not have transparancy and is cropped differently I think.

added to DNS:

gr.wikimedia.org is an alias for dyna.wikimedia.org.
dyna.wikimedia.org has address 198.35.26.96
dyna.wikimedia.org has IPv6 address 2620:0:863:ed1a::1

added to https:

They came from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/WM_CUG_GR.png which was later optipng -o7.

@geraki: Are you sure you want to use the RGB logo? I thought affiliates should use the black and white logo these days (like https://www.wikimedia.de/ or https://am.wikimedia.org/ or kr.wikimedia.org and so on)

@Ladsgroup: Yes, is seems we will keep this logo for a while, we have material using it.

okay then, I will create the wiki next Monday (hopefully, if everything goes alright).

@geraki Give me the username and email of the first user to create in this wiki please so you can create more users.

I've created the wiki. If there is any issue or further request about this wiki, please open a new task.

To get an account, let us know your desired username and a valid email address, we'll create the first account for you. If you do not want those details to be public, you can contact me privately.

Can we get an account created to make sure the database sanitization works fine?
@Urbanecm you can use my email for that if you like, please use my email: manuel@w...

Thank you

@Marostegui Certainly! I have created an account for the requestor, Geraki. Does that work for you?

This still has a pending step for the wiki to operate fully as expected, namely the RESTBase config. Above patch pending review and deployment.

Hey, Creating a wiki has many parts (CX integration, wikidata integration, search index creation, VE support which can be restbase and parsoid, analytics, pywikibot and many more) and more often than not creating a wiki explodes majestically (I wrote some of my adventure in T158730#5527658). These tickets don't have a clear AC but I personally call these tickets done when the wiki is accessible and doesn't fatal and I ask people to file a separate bug for missing bits.

The process of creating wikis is a mess and I would love to improve it (one take away is that we should create lots of subtickets so those can be tracked separately) I hope I can work on it a bit soon.
