Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Plwiki's ArbCom currently uses its own wiki, which is hosted on a server maintained by WMPL. This scenario is suboptimal, as there's a limited capacity to provide technical support and maintenance. Additionally, the committee has to rely on a single (barely active) volunteer to create new accounts every half year (after elections). Therefore, we would like to move our wiki to WMF infrastructure. We will manage to do the export-import process ourselves, after the wiki is created on the Wikimedia cluster.

Please create a wiki for Polish Wikipedia Arbitration Committee, with the following configuration:

  • Request page: N/A
  • Language code: pl
  • Site URL: wikipedia-pl-arbcom.wikimedia.org
  • Directionality: LTR
  • Project name: Komitet Arbitrażowy
  • Project name (English): plwiki Arbitration Committee
  • Project namespace: Komarwiki
  • Project talk namespace: Dyskusja_Komarwiki
  • Visibility: Private
  • Project logo: Wikipedia_Arbitration_Committee_Logo_pl.svg
  • Timezone: Europe/Warsaw
  • Shard: s5
  • Local file uploads: disabled enabled

The initial account should be for Msz2001 (with e-mail marcinszwarc (at) hotmail.com).

Thank you.

@Msz2001 Are you sure you don't need local file upload? Other private wikis have enabled it (u4cwiki, ombudswiki, arbcom_itwiki and so on). If ArbCom needs to upload files locally it can do so.

Marostegui subscribed.

This requires the restart of each sanitarium instance, for now I've done s5 on both DC which is where this wiki will go, so we don't block this task.

Over the last 18 years there have been only a few files uploaded to the current plwiki's arbcom wiki. All of them were taken from Commons and used for decorational purposes. Thus, I didn't ask for local upload so as not to introduce additional complexity into the wiki creation process when it's apparently not needed.

After consulting with another arbcom member, we would like to have local upload enabled – low usage of upload on that wiki was also caused by its (suboptimal) configuration. Sorry for any confusion that might have arisen.

All done! Wiki is completely set and ready to use, also an account was created by Zabe (@Msz2001), thanks for your patience :)

missing post-creation subtask(s)?

edit: maybe because it's a private wiki. private wikis still need some post creation tasks but not every single one a public wiki needs, afaict.

Would a complete database import be an option?

Would a complete database import be an option?

For the record, in an on-wiki discussion with Saper we agreed that importing through the special page will be better in this case.

Please open a new task with the details (similar to T369264 ) and indicate the projects from which you want to import. Thanks.

The source wiki is a private wiki outside of the WMF cluster (as stated in the task description). Therefore, the migration will have to include a one-time import which has to go through local file. Given that the original wiki is not that big, I'll manage to do it myself.
