Hii @srishakatux ,
I have a few questions regarding contribution. Could you please help me with that?

1. How to subscribe for a task to be able to edit the task description and work on the API?
2. Am I supposed to change any code or I have to improve documentation of the API similar to the example template given?

@srishakatux API:Siteinfo is listed twice

Hi and welcome @Diksha11b,

1. How to subscribe for a task to be able to edit the task description and work on the API?

General help on infrastructure tools like Phabricator is off-topic in this task - this task is about documentation improvements and not about using Phabricator. :) Please see the Phabricator Help and/or use Zulip for questions about Phabricator itself. Thanks!

2. Am I supposed to change any code or I have to improve documentation of the API similar to the example template given?

This task is about documentation, not about changing code in the software. However, good documentation also offers tested code examples. :)

@Aklapper Thanks a lot for help.:)

@SilkyPriya @Didicodes @supriyasupu
I request you to work on the two tasks already assigned to you.
It's explicitly mentioned not to take to take more than two tasks at one time. Please let others work on the issues as well.

@Nimbus20 Sure. I am done with previous assigned task hence I get myself assigned for new one. I know everyone should get fair chance so If anyone is new and wants to work on API:siteinfo, can take task.

@srishakatux please review my changes (currently in my sandbox) for the API siteInfo.

hi, seems all the tasks are taken, will there be more tasks for those who dont have any?

I could not assign any task to myself yet , Can I get any task so that I can contribute to the project?

Hey @Didicodes , I request you to work on any two task out of those tasks you have assigned to yourself so that I can start working on one of them as I can not find any task unassigned in the task description.

Hello, @Aashuli I would totally love to remove my name from a task so that you get an opportunity to work on something, but I have already made pull requests for all of them. Sorry!

@Aashuli on second thought, I will replace your name on the task for API: Pagepropnames. Enjoy working on it!

@Didicodes Thanks you!!

Hi @srishakatux I am an Outreachy applicant and I would love to contribute. Could you please assign a task to me to begin with?

@AakankshaShastri_1: Hi and welcome! Please read previous comments (T215682#4987359 and T215682#4996853). Thanks!

Hey, Thank you for the reply @Aklapper. May I know if the micro tasks would be added soon, as I see all of them taken up by other aspirants

@AakankshaShastri_1: See T215682#4996853 (third bullet point).

Hi, I am an Outreachy applicant and will like to contribute to this project. @srishakatux can i be assigned some tasks please.

@Jenniline: Hi and welcome! Please see T215682#4987359 again. Thanks.

Hi, I am Parul. I want to work on the Wikimedia project for the Outreachy program. Can anyone please tell me about the resources and from where to start contributing?

Hi everyone. I am an Outreachy applicant and I would love to contribute to this project. Miss @srishakatux can I be assigned some tasks, please. Or Can I work on microtask directly? Thank You.

@Jenniline @parul-priyedarshani @Nufina Welcome! To quote the project mentor:

 Thanks for your interest! At this point, the project you've mentioned has received a lot of interest and contributions from potential candidates already.

 I will encourage you to take a look at other projects we are promoting in Outreachy Round 18:
 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_18

 Also, there is another project that we have not yet published on the Outreachy site but soon going to:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T217699. You could get in touch with project mentors by commenting on the task in Phabricator.

@Nufina: Hi and welcome! See T215682#4987359 and T215682#5012936

@parul-priyedarshani: Hi and welcome! See T215682#4995668.

In general: Repeating the same questions again and again instead of first reading the answers above is not a good use of anybody's time...

Hello @srishakatux ,
@Abhism9450 mentioned earlier on Github that he was no longer applying for this project. I also noticed that @Nikitrain is already working on API:Allrevisions. Can I start working on API:Compare?

I would like to remind you all that the deadline for applying is in less than ten days :)

Wohooo! If you are still onboard and applying, I would encourage you to put in your proposal early. If you all could do that by Monday, then I might be able to give you feedback by Thursday (March 21st). I won't be available starting Friday (March 22nd) of next week until Monday (March 25th). I will be available on Tuesday (March 26th) but any last minute feedback will not be helpful for you.

So, if possible if you all could put in your applications by Monday that would be awesome. That way I will be able to do atleast one round of feedback for everybody.

Although this project is not eligible for Google Summer of Code, if you are eligible for the GSoC program, please indicate that in your application.

By now, I've provided feedback to everyone at least once on their pull requests. There are a few still open that needs some more work before I can merge them. Don't worry about that; I will continue to work with you on them until Thursday of next week.

Good luck working on the application process!

Initial feedback update: I've improved 9 pages in my sandbox, and seven of them have been merged to the main namespace. More detailed information available at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Jeropbrenda#Project_Outcomes

Final update:

• 22 pages improved (8 overview pages and 14 API module pages).
• One demo app developed.
