Pinging @Mohammed_Sadat_WMDE, @Lydia_Pintscher, and @Lea_Lacroix_WMDE to let you know we are now planning the release of the CampaignEvents extension to Wikidata, tentatively slated for Oct 15. We will finalize the date soon, and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Change #1079521 had a related patch set uploaded (by Daimona Eaytoy; author: Daimona Eaytoy):

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] [wikidatawiki] Enable the CampaignEvents extension

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1079521

Hello, @Mohammed_Sadat_WMDE, @Lydia_Pintscher, and @Lea_Lacroix_WMDE!

The release is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct 15 at 14:00 UTC. After the release has happened, we would like our Quality Test Engineer, @vaughnwalters, to be able to conduct some tests to ensure that everything looks okay. In that case, can an admin on Wikidata grant him the Event Organizer right (username: VWalters-WMF) after the release? If the admin would like any help in administering the right, our Community Relations Specialist, @Udehb-WMF, can help.

We would love your help in identifying an admin who can help with this. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you in advance!

@vaughnwalters How long will the testing take? I can give you temporary rights for the duration of the test.

The right that I will need to be able to test is event-organizer instead of Wikidata staff

AFAIK Wikidata staff can’t grant any rights other than Wikidata staff, so you’ll need a regular sysop after all :/

What Lucas said.
@Udehb-WMF You will need to post an ask on Wikidata:Administrators. They usually respond quickly to such requests.

Thank you, Mohammed
@vaughnwalters the request have been made https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Request_for_Admin_Assistance_Granting_Event_Organizer_Right

Two things of note:

1. The first invitation list I generated at Special:GenerateInvitationList stayed at status "Processing" and never resolved. I was unable to further replicate this behavior, and @Daimona looked into the logs and couldn't find anything suspicious. This is something to keep an eye on in case it happens again, but I haven't been able to recreate it after the initial instance.
2. If I search for any of our special pages in the wikidata search bar, none of them show up in the typeahead. I created a ticket for this T377524.

Besides these things, it looks good. Sending to product sign off.
