(5) Add UserMerge support to WikiGrok
Closed, DeclinedPublic
Actions

Description

Context: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-May/081644.html

Because the global user merge tool is going to be deployed (and, presumably, used) and WikiGrok stores IDs and names of the users submitting responses, we must update WikiGrok to support merging users.

As @Legoktm's email suggests, this'll entail listening to one of the UserMerge* hooks so that WikiGrok can keep user information up to date. Also, WikiGrok should definitely be listening to the DeleteAccount hook too…

Also, listen to the hooks regardless of whether or not the WikiGrok UI is enabled.

WikiGrok hasn't been underployed proper, but Web-Team isn't going to be committing to re-enabling it in the immediate future – we're currently focussing on tooling and code quality for Gather, WikiGrok, and MobileFrontend so that we're more confident moving forward. With this in mind, I'd say that this blocks a future release of WikiGrok, but it shouldn't block other projects. Furthermore, we've already run the bot against the existing data so, when before re-enabling, we should archive it.

So what you're saying is that we should roll out UserMerge on Wikimedia sites even though WikiGrok does not support it, and whenever someone? wants to revive it, they'll need to address this blocker before that happens.

Yup.
