Can I add a fourth task to the list (T117215, T117217, T117216) of urgent Arabic wikipedia issues that are still pending for over one year ?

Other tasks are blocked on MediaWiki i18n development. New task is configuration-only. The others don't block this one, and this one doesn't block the others. That's two separate independant sets.

The last time ar.wikipedia required something about flagged revisions with community approval, another part of the community tell us not to do it.

Did you discuss what are the conditions a FlaggedRevisions related request has the legitimate support of ar.wikipedia community?

Relevant previous problematic task is T42499.

@Dereckson As mentioned above there is a community approval (made in the pump village) to restrict the use of the quality flagged revision (and not the regular flagged revision which also exists in ar.wiki) to ns=0. Thank you.

Hi @Dereckson @Luke081515 , did you see the approval above? Is there something else that you need to do the task ( limit the Quality version of the flagged revision in Arabic Wikipedia to ns=0).

I gave a wrong link of the community approval. Here is the right one :

@Aklapper & @Dereckson
any new thing here?

@Dereckson Please take off the - Community-consensus-needed tag - since I already added a link for that 6 months ago.

Change 404620 had a related patch set uploaded (by TerraCodes; owner: TerraCodes):
[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Move flaggedrevs to NS_MAIN on arwiki

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/404620

@TerraCodes thank you for claiming the task. If you have any question we are available here.

@TerraCodes as @Helmoony said, if there's any question we are here!

@TerraCodes it seems that the regular flagged has been removed from other ns than ns=0 instead of only removing the quality revision (see above) on those ns.
I made a test here https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8:%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%AF%D9%85_%D8%B3%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%B1_%D9%84%D9%83%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D8%B3

Usually when I make an edit from an IP, my edits should be flagged (regular flagging).

No, I couldn't find a way to fix this, so I asked for help in Z398 about 10 days, but I have yet to receive a response.

@Ahmed123: Removing MediaWiki-extensions-FlaggedRevs as there is nothing to change in the code base of FlaggedRevs, only in the configuration of servers.

@TerraCodes @Aklapper @Dereckson @EBernhardson @Urbanecm @Zoranzoki21

sorry for that, but can you at least revert the previous version of the code (revert all changes made based on this task)?

I thought (sure) that changes here made this problem T189224, and it affects arwiki in huge manner! The problem is worsening day by day!

Its already being reverted by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/418700. Also why ping 6 different people?

I scheduled deploy for this revert on Monday, March 19 13:00–14:00 UTC.

Thanks @Ahmed123

This is a site request.

@Urbanecm , I removed community approval tag, but it seems related somewhere with Wikimedia-Site-requests. Thank you for the review.

@Helmoony Oh, I understand. The Wikimedia-Site-requests tag is a tag that should be added every time when a task is about "change the configuration of MediaWiki" or similar things (do not develop something new, but just change the behaiviour of existing things). Each project can have one or more columns that express something about the task's status. For example, there's "To Deploy" column that means everything is ready for deployment (the task is almost done). Another column is "Blocked on community consensus". If you want to change the column, you can use the "Add action" dropdown menu, select "Move on Workboard" and choose the column you want the task to be in. I hope it is more clear to you.

@TerraCodes What's the task's status? Do you still work on this task? I can see it was deployed and reverted, any issues I can try to help with? We really should move this forward.

@Urbanecm Do you want to claim the task? Or can you refer us to someone?

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with FlaggedRevs and I'm only reading through docs in past 10 minutes. Don't take my comments as absolute truth.

Actually I'm not sure that's possible. I apparently can disable FlaggedRevs on all namespaces but the main one by modifying wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces, but that's what @TerraCodes did by not understanding the task and what the community do not want. If you want, you can read through the docs and tell me what variable you think should be changed to what value. The current configuration file for flaggedrevs is on https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=flaggedrevs.php. So I don't want to claim this task, because I don't know how to process it. Every change on any ticket in Wikimedia-Site-requests is notified to almost 40 users, so no need to specifically call for people I think.

@aaron helped previously T21332#233026 to remove File Namespace (NS:6) and to add Portal (NS:100) and Annex (NS:104) Namespaces.

So, probably he can help to limit the flagged revision to Main/Article Namespace (NS:0) only?

} elseif ( $wgDBname == 'arwiki' ) {
	$wgFlaggedRevsWhitelist = [ 'الصفحة_الرئيسية' ];
	$wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces = array_merge( $wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces, [ 100, 104 ] ); // T21332

https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=flaggedrevs.php

It looks like there is no way to say "Level 2 (reviewed for quality) is not allowed as a tag on pages outside namespace 0". Right, now, I suppose it is just convention that reviewers only mark template revisions as at level 1 (basic review). If $wgFlaggedRevsTags included a 'namespaces' field with (NS => level) as the value (defaulting to all of $wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces at the highest level, the status quo), then this could be configured.

Hi @Zack ! Are you able to fix this issue ?
