Event Timeline

The community also requested "Give Flow board creation rights automatically to admins on the Konkani Wiktionary (Add flow-create-board for gomwikt sysop)" for the settings. I don't know to whom this right is usually assigned (on mw.org to all users, it seems), so I don't know if that is a restriction and how feasible that is given the scarcity of sysops on new wikis ( @Aklapper cf. our recent discussion).

Some context:

  • Structured Discussions or Flow is the default content model for all talk pages on the Konkani Wikipedia. As a result, the members of the Konkani community are used to this discussion system, rather than wiktext discussion pages.
  • Local project admins, by default, have the right to change the content model of pages. What we discovered later on the Konkani Wikipedia is that admins could change the content model of a page to any format, except to Flow pages, because of the lack of the permission flow-create-board. Therefore, we had requested for this right for admins on the Konkani Wikipedia (Task T139226). In order to pre-empt this anomaly right at the beginning, I added the request for the flow-create-board permission while setting up the Konkani Wiktionary.

Two notes:

  • Flow is being un-deployed from our Infra, I'm not sure adding it to new wikis would be a good idea
  • ShortUrl is unmaintained and unmaintainable and hopefully will be undeployed soon (T187045: Code Stewardship Review: ShortUrl Extension), we can't deploy this for new wikis at all, please use https://w.wiki instead. It's even shorter.

+1. We can't deploy Flow to more wikis, I'm sorry.

Thank you, i had searched for it but did not find it.

Jon Harald Søby has just imported the pages

@jhsoby It looks like you imported the edits multiple times as if you look through the history of this page it shows each edit 4 times

Yes, I noticed, sorry about that. Special:Import is quite broken for this purpose (one of its 2 purposes, hehe), to be honest. It's supposed to ignore pages/revisions that have already been imported, but that doesn't always happen – it will give the Wikimedia server outage error page, and when it does you are supposed to try again. But some times it already worked despite the error, and some times it didn't work.

I'm not aware of how to fix this issue after it has happened, other than deleting the pages and re-importing them, which is a pain… I hope it doesn't cause too many problems.

Ok. The same kinda thing has also happened to Awadhi Wikipedia
