The consensus on the linked fawiki page looks good. Google translate says...

There is a consensus on conducting elections locally.

I'm removing Wikimedia-Extension-setup since I think SecurePoll is already fully installed on all wikis (shows up in fa:Special:Version, and I think in another ticket we discovered that every wiki has all 12 SecurePoll SQL tables).

Next step would probably be to write a mediawiki-config repo patch like the one recently written for enwiki. Although you should double check the details and make changes as needed. Your user groups may be different, you may not want to split up election clerks and scrutineers like we did, you may want to have a different group able to grant election clerk, etc. Someone from fawiki should make those decisions, consulting onwiki if needed, then a config repo patch can be written.

Change #1155805 had a related patch set uploaded (by Huji; author: Huji):

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Enable electionclerk user group on fawiki

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1155805

The change has been drafted. Discussion is ongoing on fawiki about the specifics, but so far it seems like the community is in agreement with using the same config as enwiki. I will mark the change as active for review once local consensus has been achieved.

Does the SQL table securepoll_log exist on fawiki? It didn't exist on enwiki and that surprised us when we deployed our patch and it caused a production error. (T378287, T396483). Can someone with the proper access please check that securepoll_log exists on fawiki? And maybe audit for the other 11 securepoll tables too? These should all exist:

Thanks. Looks like we are missing fawiki securepoll_log. Maybe DBA could create that table for us?

I can create it.

created.

Thanks!

Local consensus has been achieved to move forward

It would be nice if we could get a code review on the patch, to hopefully be able to restore the September-ish timeline for next annual election at fawp

Code review part is done since I +1'd it. It needs someone to deploy it now via a backport window: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments

AFAICS this just requires adding it to a backport window to get it deployed, as it's got a +1?

Gotcha. I can try to help with that.

I scheduled it for tomorrow's late afternoon backport as I'll be around doing another deploy. I don't have rights but I can at least poke around the read-only sections a bit. If anyone else wants to deploy, feel free to do so instead or if they would prefer someone with more access to robust testing wants to deploy, just let me know and I'll cancel it.

@STran I had also scheduled it for today, in an earlier time slot. It was just merged.

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE thanks for your help today. Shortly after my last message to you on the IRC, the machine on which I have the IRC client installed crashed irrecoverably. Speaking of being lucky ...
