Event Timeline

@Ciell How many accounts creation do you except during this event ?

*dbname: all

We usually restrict the exception to a defined list of wikis (enwiki, wikidatawiki, commonswiki, ..). Is it possible to list them ?

Perhaps both of these values are the same as the previous request T194346, that would be 250 accounts and 'enwiki', 'nlwiki', 'commonswiki', 'wikidatawiki'wiki list.

I think that would perfectly fine. We'll have 65 people attending, so no more than a mere 120 accounts (personal + bots) will be created.

  • From 2018-10-25T05:00 UTC
  • To 2018-10-28T10:00
  • Wikis: enwiki, nlwiki, commonswiki, wikidatawiki

@Ecritures you shouldn't remove tasks from the relevant boards just because these are done. Probably better to create a board per event.

@Multichill Why is that? Since we are keeping this board for next Wikistorm event (the request for a new board was declined with the recommendation/obligation to keep the old board for the new event.)

@Aklapper can you help out here? We had several events and have future events under the techstorm/wikistorm label. We don't want old tasks to clutter up our board, but kicking them off is besides the purpose. Normally we would just create a board per event (just like the Wikimedia Hackathon or Wiki Loves Monuments), but that seems to have been declinced here? Wonder why. Maybe just make a done column per event and make it hidden? That way we can see per event wat was done, without cluttering up our workboard.

@Multichill, @Ecritures: Let's discuss in T222929, if you could re-post there? Thanks :)
