Please post about this change on the relevant wikis.

Hi @dungodung. For any configuration change, we require a local consensus.
For more information about how to request these kinds of changes, please see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes and feel free to forward that link to others who may want similar changes made in the future. Thanks!

Honestly, I thought we wouldn't need such bureaucracy for such a non-controversial change, but here it is:

• srwiktionary
• srwikibooks
• srwikiquote
• srwikisource

The conversation on srwikipedia which actually sparked this request is here

rs.wikimedia.org is not a project with community, but rather a chapter wiki, so no discussion is generally required (I'm the chapter president and bureaucrat on the wiki).

Hope this is alright.

Plus srwikinews

Seems like there's no opposition on any of the projects regarding this. Can we more forward with it, please?

Should be easy to do this for the smaller wikis but we might want to do the update for Wikipedia separately as it looks like the script is very slow (T58041) on large wikis (srwiki has ~ 1.2 million pages).

From what I remember from past collation changes, Wiktionary with 50k should be safe too. Wikipedia with 1M should be manageable (we managed to change the collation at pl.wp and fr.wp without major problems, and they're bigger), but we should get Jaime to give his blessing and watch the situation.

So it has been now changed for Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikisource, and Wikinews and the update script has also been completed. I'll try to get the other wikis done some time later.

It took about 10 minutes to get it done on srwikinews which is larger than srwiktionary so we could get it done on Wiktionary also without much difficulty.

Please ping me before touching srwiki so I can heat the indexes on the slaves to minimize the lag. It has 1.5 million entries.

@jcrespo ping: the change has been deployed, and we need to run the maintenance script
