In some wikis Compact Language Links may have to be deployed gradually: First to anonymous users, new user accounts and users who already enabled the beta feature. This will require defining it as default for new users, and migrating the old preference for existing users.
Possible implementation ideas:
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolved | Johan | T156145 Support introduction of compact language links on Swedish Wikipedia | |||
| Resolved | KartikMistry | T157114 Deploy Compact Language Links in Swedish Wikipedia | |||
| Resolved | Amire80 | T133031 Preference conversion for Compact Language Links | |||
| Resolved | Amire80 | T153824 Make a public summary wiki page of the collected CLL data |
Queries are written, announcements are written.
We'll make separate tickets for implementation.
Change 336073 had a related patch set uploaded (by Amire80):
Add an maintenance script for opt-in
@jcrespo We want to run this maintenance script during deployment (Updates preference for svwiki users of Compact Language Link), does it require review from DBA/TechOps?
You do not need my review, but the script it is wrong right now. This is a destructive script, so you should run it in dry mode first (which doesn't have right now) to make sure you do not delete anything you would not want. Also make sure you print enough information to revert the change if something goes wrong.
When run, add it to Deployments page.
Editing user preferences has caused user backslash in the past- make sure your users are informed and ok with all the changes.
The chosen way is Prepare script for preference migration. The script is in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/336073 .
