Do we really want to allow more microsites?

Personally i think it would be better to use wiki. But you gotta ask MBrent's team. This is just ops creating it as a service. That said i'm happy if we can stick to something.wikmedia.org as opposed to new domain names and that external devs are going to upload to Gerrit. That's already so much better than in the past.

It's your decision to actually create it, not their's.

I think T599#11308 is relevant here.

We should at least keep a list of these micro-sites somewhere so that we can thoroughly kill them all at a later date. From browsing around Phabricator just now:

• 15.wikipedia.org
• annual.wikimedia.org
• policy.wikimedia.org
• annual.wikimedia.org
• transparency.wikimedia.org

There are probably others.

@MZMcBride In March i made an effort in that direction that also fixes puppet-lint issues at the same time, moving the microsites into a the same role structure

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/275034/

so it's puppet/modules/role/manifests/microsites/

annualreport.pp endowment.pp peopleweb peopleweb.pp releases releases.pp transparency.pp

@MBrent done so far on our side. next step would be content from Mule and letting them know to upload just like they did for annualreport and 15.wp, the only difference is repo name is now "wikimedia/endowment"

is this site still being planned? it's over a year later

received personal email that there is now http://wikimediaendowment.org/ and content is supposed to be hosted on Wordpress servers, while we still handle email and the time-frame is now before End of October

hi all, update from friday's call with marc, daniel, brandon and i. i'm currently working to schedule time with our wordpress VIP reps to discuss their ability to handle email for the site's dns-admin / abuse reports and the domain itself (as the endowment is a separate legal entity, though the domain is currently held by WMF). my apologies for the confusion -- i'll update this as i learn more. big thanks again for your help and patience (esp as i get started on phabricator. ;)) more soon.

@kaythaney Thank you for the update. It's appreciated!:)

update! automatic / wordpress VIP are going to host the email for dns-admin/ abuse reports, as well as handle hosting of the domain. will know more next week about the timeline and needs from Ops -- but in the clear for now. many thanks to you all for your help (and patience).

@kaythaney Great! Sounds good, thank you. I already removed everything on our side.

Hi @kaythaney

i think there is a misunderstanding. There is no wikimediaendowment.org zone file on our side. The domain has never existed in our DNS configuration. And since it's not going to be on our infrastructure and instead hosted by Wordpress completely, they are the ones who who would have to know what records to add.

Best,

Daniel

regarding the ticket link, i was able to create an account, but after that i just get:

This support portal was recently redesigned.
The page you were looking for doesn't exist

You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved

So i can't see the contents of that.

I can see other "organization requests" created by Wikimedia in the past at https://wordpressvip.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/organization but ticket 60140 is not among them.

@kaythaney Either way, i don't think there is anything you need from Operations to move forward on this. There is nothing to configure on our side.

I think the only thing that needs to happen is that legal (or whoever bought the domain name with MarkMonitor) contacts MarkMonitor and tells them the name servers need to be changed to Wordpress servers.

Thanks, Daniel -- and my apologies for the hassle. Let me loop in our Wordpress contacts.

@kaythaney I was now able to read the Wordpress ticket. I saw they confirmed they don't need a zone file and instead just need legal (MarkMonitor) to switch the DNS servers to Wordpress. Sounds good!

Looks like the site is live now:

https://wikimediaendowment.org/

Thanks, Dzahn. We're all set.

@kaythaney where should one report bugs in the website? I noticed that the wrong MediaWiki logo is being used.

thanks! i'll update that first thing next week. (please feel free to file
tickets here and tag me, or ping me directly.)

Thanks, I created https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Microsites now.

Does the bugzilla archive really count as a microsite? It's huge...

I don't think it matters much. We could also call them "miscsites". It's just a term that tries to describe sites that are not part of normal wikis, not apps and hosted in production.
