Jdforrester-WMF created this task.

Is there a related task for this somewhere? Or code? (Like if I did this today it'd all be fine, right?) :)

(And what does drop b/c mean?)

This is the task? Yes, go for it.

(And what does drop b/c mean?)

Drop backwards-compatibility, i.e. stop the inefficiency of reading the <visualeditor-cite-tool-definition.json> message as well on every page load.

Mvolz renamed this task from Migrate Wikimedia wikis to MediaWiki:cite-tool-definition.json rather than MediaWiki:visualeditor-cite-tool-definition.json and drop b/c to Migrate Wikimedia wikis to MediaWiki:Cite-tool-definition.json rather than MediaWiki:Visualeditor-cite-tool-definition.json and drop b/c.EditedJan 15 2023, 12:26 PM
Mvolz updated the task description. (Show Details)

I have moved pages where I had permission. On a few wikis, moves have special restrictions. I didn't have enough edits on https://he.wikipedia.org/ and on https://bg.wikipedia.org/ it was detected as vandalism.

On the other remaining wikis, page moves are an action which requires full administrator privileges. As only having global interface editor right I lack the permissions to move the page.

I could blank in fact the existing page and create the replacement on those wikis; the only issue with that is it doesn't preserve history, but I tested this on test2 wiki (which has similar settings) and it works. I feel like global interface editors should have the permission to move pages but oh well!

Yeah, it's a tad silly. :-( (I also don't have the move right, even as a +sysadmin.)

Should we ask the stewards to do this?

I've moved 11 of the remaining 37 pages, but the other 26 will require someone with more rights across all wikis.

Should we ask the stewards to do this?

Yes please.
