Deploy Extension:Newsletter on hewiki
Open, Stalled, MediumPublic

Description

Hello. The hewiki community decided by concensus in Village Pump to ask the Newsletter extension to be deployed.

We used it a couple of weeks on MediaWiki.org, in Newsletter:הפומפיה, and it's time to move home. A half of supporters are not this newsletter subscribers. Thank you.

Schedule for October 02 13:00–14:00 UTC

Hi, sorry, the Newsletter extension cannot be deployed to other Wikimedia wikis until we have figured out how to solve T110645: Interwiki support for Newsletter extension. A key value envisioned for this extension is to have a single catalog with all the newsletters, so users can check the one and only list and find everything there. If we start enabling this extension before the interwiki question is solved, we will have dozens of catalogs of newsletters spread all over.

Note that T176199 is a different kind of request, because office.wikimedia.org is a stand-alone (not SUL) and private wiki. Therefore, the interwiki problem doesn't apply there.

Hi, @QuimGil. This is why I added you as a subscriber after the MediaWiki-extensions-Newsletter was removed - I thought you should be aware about the move. A pity, but you are the boss, of course. Could you tell me, please:

  • How long do you think it will take? Because it's quite a difficulte to use foreign wiki - we don't have a local notification description, and wrong url.
  • The common list you mentioned is much less than all the interwiki problem solving, can't it be solved standalone?
  • Why do you think it's wrong to have a common list for a while, if it allows a normal work? Because all the problem can take months. You can add a message on the special page, that meanwhile there are some irrelevant items here. Please.

Thank you very much.

I have replied to @IKhitron concerns at T110645#3682978 because they are not specific to hewiki.

@Zoranzoki21 thank you for helping to push it forward. However, I think the task is stalled/blocked by T110645 for the reasons Qim mentioned.
