@bd808 met with @Jane023 at WMCON 2017 and we talked about her difficulties in keeping track of all the steps needed to access a Toolforge server to update a tool. She suggested that we could pair in a hangout to walk through getting her setup to do useful work and record that to share with others.

Steps to cover:

• make ssh keypair
• upload public key via Striker
• ssh to tools bastion
• become tool
• start webservice
• change PHP script:
• Example task: A recurring wishlist item is often a script based on existing scripts by Magnus Manske or others (targeting a different language than English, or using a different type of Wikidata item to create a different stubby template).
  1. copy an existing script, such as https://tools.wmflabs.org/magnustools/prepbio.php
  2. make it work for Dutch Wikipedia (slightly different category setup for biographies)
  3. copy https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/creator_from_wikidata.php for Commons to make another template creation option
  4. "institution_from_wikidata.php"
  5. "artwork_from_wikidata.php"
• restart webservice
