Notes

Constant and significant volume of warnings after deploying 1.45.0-wmf.15 to testwikis/group0. At time of writing it's mostly the API portal that's affected.

Interestingly, the deprecation warning applied already for 1.46 but we're only seeing it now.

Significant volume already on group0, I don't feel comfortable continuing to group1 until this has been triaged/resolved.

New deprecation was added in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1203506 for T409774 (and might be related to the other UBN, T416978).

All three of these hits are on the WikimediaApiPortal skin — I imagine that skin was missed in the fixes?

Given the likely hit rate on api.wikimedia.org it's probably OK for this new deprecation to not be a train-blocker, as long as it's fixed swiftly?

Sounds reasonable, so far all instances of the error have indeed been on the API portal.

I'm cautiously removing it as blocker, but will keep an eye on its error rate tomorrow during the deployment to the next group

Errors shot up after deploying the train to group1. 3K+ in 15m:

Culprit is nostalgia.wikipedia.org:

I have no intuitive idea of how big the impact on logstash will by at these logging rates, but they feel pretty high to me for a single change (the concern being here to keep accumulating higher error rates in individual changes and kill logstash via a thousand cuts). I'm erring on the side of caution and rolling back the train

Noise from Nostalgia is gone. Thank you to @Tgr for his patch.

We'll see what happens tomorrow on group2 I guess

There should be no skins in group 2 that are not in group 1 or 0. I'm fairly confident you should be fine tomorrow. Thanks @Tgr for taking care of the Nostalgia issue.

I took another pass through https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/deployed/?q=%5C%5B%27namespaces%27%5C%5D&files=&excludeFiles= and I don't see any code that would trigger new unresolved warnings. It's been hard to catch all the ones so far because it's hard to grep for 'namespaces' in the context of just skins since namespaces are used everywhere with other meanings!
