Add banner to wm-bot's freenode logs browser that notifies about new Libera Chat logs browser
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

There should be a banner on top of the website (probably dismissable?) that notifies user they are reading old freenode logs and that new logs are somewhere else

https://wm-bot.wmflabs.org is kept for historical purposes and shows freenode

https://wm-bot.wmcloud.org shows Libera

Perhaps add some messaging on the wmflabs pages? I wouldn't be surprised if its linked to from a lot of places

Yeah, I have no idea how I was supposed to know this.

Petrb reopened this task as Open.
Petrb updated the task description. (Show Details)

I added a notice to the top of the page in bold.

Yeah, I have no idea how I was supposed to know this.

The urls were updated in the docs on metawiki and on wikitech.

Well, I don’t go to Metawiki/Wikitech each time I want to look at the logs, I get the URL from my browser history :)

I think it would be nice to send a short email mentioning the new domain name to wikitech-l. (Probably after this task is done and the banner is set up.) I’d be happy to send such an email myself if you’d prefer that.

Could that note not only be on the frontpage of https://wm-bot.wmflabs.org/ but also on every subpage? Because deeplinks (every page is page one).

That would be a lot of work, as there are separate files for every channel info page. I could do it for the system info and log browser pages though.

Hmm, in that case, this task maybe should be resolved as "We've done what we could", or what exactly is missing?

https://wm-bot.wmflabs.org/ says Note: This site is kept up for historical purposes and shows channel info and logs for freenode. For channel info and logs for Libera.Chat please click here.
Sufficient for me.
