Regarding the task description, is "Wikimedia's" more accurately "Wikimedia Foundation Inc.'s"?

Should this be a public wiki, private wiki or fishbowl wiki?

Urbanecm moved this task from Backlog to Analytics/Under discussion on the User-Urbanecm board.

Well looking at that puppet.git commit it's not going to be a private wiki

It will be a fishbowl wiki. Thanks!

Well looking at that puppet.git commit it's not going to be a private wiki

That depends on Reedy's knowledge about the wiki's desired status. As I don't know what Reedy knows, I asked :).

Do you have a specific logo to use? SVG's preffered.

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Initial configuration for fixcopyrightwiki

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/455723

CCicalese_WMF raised the priority of this task from Low to High.Aug 27 2018, 8:58 PM

The logo from https://policy.wikimedia.org/ would be good. Is that available in a form that you could use?

Sure, that logo will work.

Regarding the priority, we do need this wiki live by the end of the week. I had been thinking of raising the priority earlier and clicked the dropdown. But, then I decided to wait to see how this was progressing. Phabricator, however, remembered that I had been fiddling with that dropdown when I last visited this page earlier, apparently . . .

Patch amended. Priority) It is good to know you need the wiki very soon, didn't notice it is for September and it is the end of August. Unfortunately, I can only prepare prerequisites, I cannot create a wiki. Hope @Reedy will do it soon.

Well, I'm sure it have some reason which I don't understand yet. Why is this tagged with Security-Team?

Well, I'm sure it have some reason which I don't understand yet. Why is this tagged with Security-Team?

This is the team @Reedy and I are both in at the moment and the tag is so that we can track our efforts.

Has been added to DNS now.

https://fixcopyright.m.wikimedia.org/

But the Apache change below isn't ready yet. As Luca points out on Gerrit the compiler says it's missing a template. Also this part of the Apache config has recently changed.. the "prod_sites.pp" is relatively new.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/puppet/+/455369/

better now with PS2. and it compiles: http://puppet-compiler.wmflabs.org/12270/mw1269.eqiad.wmnet/

planning to deploy tomorrow earlier in the US day unless somebody in Europe does it first

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2018-08-29T18:08:46Z] <mutante> new apache config in sites-available for new site fixcopyright.wm is being generated by puppet on cluster, but not enabled yet (T202819)

[operations/puppet@production] apache/mediawiki: include new "other wiki" fixcopyright in cluster config

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/456194

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2018-08-29T18:55:01Z] <mutante> puppet deploy of new cluster apache site inclusion for fixcopyright.wm, tested on mwdebug100*,mw1269, apache-fast-test (T202819) (gerrit:456194)

After the changes above cluster Apache config has been deployed just now, puppet might still be running on some hosts.

This should have unblocked running the actual wiki creation script though i am not sure about database creation first.

It would be great to have this task closed before the DC switch that is planned for Tuesday, September 11th.

The site has to go live by the end of this week, so the DC switch shouldn't be a problem. Are there any showstoppers to getting it live this week? Thanks!

Not really. I’ll probably do it tomorrow as the Apache changes were sorted today by Daniel

From https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2018-August/090751.html :

For the duration of the switchover (1 month), deployers are kindly
requested to refrain from large db schema changes and avoid deploying
any kind of new feature that requires creation of tables.

As I understand creating a new wiki is not a good idea during this period.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/455033

Wiki is created, some minor followup work to be done (parsoid, restbase etc)

Depending on who actually needs accounts... They can be created by createAndPromote.php, or one can, and they can create accounts for other people

Thank you all! If you could please create an account for me, I can create any additional accounts as needed. What interface is used to add accounts on wiki?

It's just the standard account creation form, only difference being you
can't use it while logged out.

The Special:CreateAccount page when you'll be logged in with the account that will be manually created by system administrators.

Change 456192 abandoned by Dzahn:
beta: add fixcopyright.wm to Apache sites/wikimedia.conf

Reason:
sounds like not since the entire setup seems quite different from production
