We need the math extension enabled on wikitech so that we can discuss some of the mathimatical concerns of engineering more easily. Right now, we've been hacking as best we can. See https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageview_hourly/Sanitization for an example of a page that really needs <math> tags.

Event Timeline
@Andrew Any particular reason why it was disabled https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/158409/ ? Can we enable it now?
@Glaisher, yes: the goal were to disable all the unneeded extensions, to avoid an overload of not used features.
Change 269694 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dereckson):
Enable Math extension on Wikitech
We reverted the change in 8c70c9e.
The extension complains texvc isn't available, and doesn't pick Mathoid.
Change 307494 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dereckson):
Enable Math on wikitech
Mentioned in SAL [2016-09-02T00:21:58Z] <dereckson@tin> Synchronized wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php: Enable Math on wikitech (T126338) (duration: 00m 47s)
Extension works, but can't currently write files, as wgMathDirectory was forced to /mnt/upload7/math.
A puppet and a config changes have been prepared to allow a local folder. That's handled in T126628.
Math extension can now write files successfully in /srv/math-images folder.
Last piece of the configuration is to serve such files as /wiki/images/math.
Change 308671 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dereckson):
Wikitech: Serve /srv/math-images as /w/images/math
Change 308671 merged by Filippo Giunchedi:
Wikitech: Serve /srv/math-images as /w/images/math
@Halfak All works fine.
