Deploy MontserratFont extension to Wikimania2018 wiki
Closed, DeclinedPublic
Actions

Description

The MontserratFont extension exposes the font Montserrat as a webfont via ResourceLoader so that wikis can use the font without using third party webfont services like Google Font. I wrote this extension for use on the Wikimania2018 wiki and would like it deployed there. (I am happy with deploying it to a random beta cluster wiki first for test purposes.)

We cannot deploy extensions to any WMF production wiki without security review (which is mandatory) and product/design review (which is mandatory only when applicable). Deploying to beta cluster requires the security review as well (as far as I know, if I am wrong, please correct me). I will create the subtasks needed, so the process @Aklapper linked can be started.

Also, please create extension documentation as linked in Aklapper's link. Thanks!

Can't we just deploy the font with ULS compared to a whole new extension?

Montserrat is already deployed as part of operations/mediawiki-config, see https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/operations/mediawiki-config/fonts/+/master

Does that not work for this case?

From what I can tell that isn't publicly exposed, and can't be used for the purposes of a webfont. It's supposed to be used with easytimeline/ploticus.

Personally i like the idea of an extension instead of noc, as that way we dont have weird cross dependencies that someone might unknowingly accidentally break

Wikimania 2018 is over, the extension hasn't been deployed - can we close this ticket?

Aklapper added a comment.Dec 13 2018, 10:53 AM

Wondering if the scope (wiki site) of this task should be changed due to T199509: Create Wikimania wiki if this is still wanted.

MaxSem added a comment.Dec 14 2018, 7:02 AM

Well, this extension was needed for a specific wiki's design, there's no indication that any other Wikimania wiki needs it.

Aklapper closed this task as Declined.Dec 14 2018, 10:42 AM

Ah, thanks. Let's decline. Someone please set the status of this report back to "Open" via the Add Action... → Change Status dropdown if this is still wanted.
