MilkyDefer added a comment to T349959: Limit or inhibit access to machine translation for users in Chinese Wikipedia.

After discussion I believe a compromise has been reached. We agree to try out:

  • Prohibiting publishing in article namespace; and
  • Make MT non-default.

MilkyDefer closed T353122: GitLab login 422: email has been taken as Resolved.

Looks like after I attached an email address and verified it in Wikitech, I regained access to my account again. Presumably the authentication part returned a null email address and that clashed with someone else.

@Stang Please clarify:

  • Do I need to add my patch to that page in order to get my patch approved and merged; or
  • Do I need to wait for the patch +2'ed first, and after that, I can add it to the deployment train?

As SCP-2000 mentioned above, a previous attempt to raise the publishing threshold ended up in big technical issue. SCP-2000 maintains his stance in today's discussion. He further provides a discussion 3 years ago, where a user was blocked from publishing his article because his article had 1% of unedited text. You read that right.

That is not a bug, the article has a traditional Chinese title from the start. Without explicit accept-language in your header, MediaWiki presents the page as-is, without language conversion. Language conversion not only converts between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese characters, it also change some words in the article.

A "jump to top/bottom" is already available at variable places (such as [[en:WP:DYKN]] and literally every page in zhwiki) as external gadgets. And I think it will be handy if the new vector skin has this capability out of the box.

MilkyDefer added a comment to T244635: CentralAuth deletes session cookies when gadgets make requests to another wiki on IPBE account, causing session loss.

Looks like this is a CentralAuth problem: I could not create an English Wikipedia local account via CentralAuth thanks to English Wikipedia's local blocking of the web host. Thus, sending a request to a site without a local account (nor create one) somehow causes the CentralAuth-related cookies be deleted by response header. After the CentralAuth cookies got deleted, another request is sent to Chinese Wikipedia locally (due to a script loading) - without CentralAuth cookies - now Chinese Wikipedia's local login cookies are deleted too. The user is now technically "auto logged out".

By using controlled expriments, I am highly confident that this is caused by RefToolbar, which is enabled by default for everyone. Disabling this gadget from user preferences solves this problem, and once enabling it, I lose my login status.

@IN Could that be related to the long-time "Auto Logout" problem (T244635)?

「声明新用户」may not be an accurate translation for "Claim (a) Mentee". 「主页」could be confused with the regular Main Page, since Wikipedia:主页 redirects to Wikipedia:首页 (the Main Page) on zhwiki.

@Urbanecm_WMF May I confirm that once we reach consensus that VisualEditor be moved out of beta, the whole deployment process would move forward?

@Dazzlerkumar For your !important solution, I think you should check resources/src/mediawiki.page.gallery.styles/gallery.less and resources/src/mediawiki.page.gallery.styles/print.less in mediawiki/core

If a separate UA sampling cannot be conducted, I would like to turn this into a feature request that for most-read pages, Pageviews should show the browser, os and hardware information of the reader group, should WMF's privacy policy permit.

I think it's a dupe of T262691: High numbers of HTTP 429 errors though

Please also notice that this bug report is different from T262705. This is a new problem.
