To simplify, I started single thread on VP, with a project summary at the top of the section (first subsection). I am sending out notifications to mentors via MassMessage in a short time.

TechBlog has slightly modified version of this.

Not really MS Windows cuz Can Reproduce on macOS.

Pitty, that new name is not shorter.

• One user removed, last edit late March 2020. Was not responding to the Qs.
• Ellif did not get any question for a month. He did not reply for the last question asked - early March. Active otherwise. Probably a nudge?
• 유자차 seemed to be the one with the most Qs for last month or so. He replied to almost all questions, which is probably barnstar-worthy.

Yeah, I was in the wrong branch/tag, thanks to naive (and unverified) thinking that there would be origin/stable branch. Git went to 2019 edition. My bad.

It seems it is indeed still happening.

For march (Revision 26164172):

All Chorme User Agent will look same across devices. No mitigation is unacceptable from CU Point of View, and make CheckUser extension useless given the stake of Google Chorme's semi-monopoly.

@chasemp Feel free to consider current list final for the time being. One stewards' confirmation is not closed but I think it's fine to go ahead (given current voting status).

It might be a good idea to have redundancy? I listed them anyways knowing they have acl*security via acl*security_volunteer and acl*security_developer , respectively.

We have a list of stewards who are stepping down (will update after saving this comment) but the final list (including those who failed our reconfirmation process) will be produced after March 7 (fastest date).

From the ChangeSet:

Few more:

Note: I see disproportionally high number of Geography.Regions.Africa.Central Africa from unrelated areas (i.e Korean people, Japanese anime, etc etc). Local mode has 13040 results (none of them immediately visible are related), while crosswalk has just 27 results.

Two problems:

• It should not be linking to articles about the dates (like [[ko:1919년]] / [[ko:1월 1일]]) as the Korean Wikipedia's Manual of Style demands that "if the event cannot be linked from the dates page, it should not be linked to", and since algorithm cannot guess whether it is link-able or not, it should not link.
• Disambiguation - logic skipped https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EB%9D%BC%EC%9D%B4%EB%B8%8C%EB%9F%AC%EB%A6%AC and went to [[ko:라이브러리 (컴퓨팅)]].

IMO burden of proof is on the one who makes the claim, not us. /shrug

If nobody is around for testing at that moment, maybe ping me (@ IRC!) and I might be able to grant patrollers for few hours.

Or acl*security_stewards will means stewards with no other ways accessing security tasks (but this means managing members of this group will not be easier than managing acl*stewards.)

btw: I really don't like the the acl* convention because it doesn't normalize consistently. I really don't see why we can't use only the icon as the indicator of ACL projects and then we won't need a naming convention.

acl*security_steward

We already have acl*stewards. Is it nececessary to make a second group? (per T131766, T163260 and T217361 stewards may often require accessing security issues)

RESTBase API is displaying the same thing as Page Previews.

My initial approach was to introduce DNS subdomain-based routing in parallel with the 'legacy' routing (URL-based). Tool owners can use both addressing methods during a transition period.
During this transition period, users are encouraged to make sure their webapp code is able to work in a new domain and URL: from tools.wmflabs.org/$toolname to $toolname.toolforge.org.
We can drop the the old routing mechanism when the transition period is over.

*snip*

If you know the target's email address (cough DB cough) you may be able to utilize email blacklist, but 1) it is public, so everyone else will be able to see banned addresses in raw format (and based on other logs, infer who is who) and 2) I'm not sure if this even works (even on wikimedia), because I have never tested it.

Base, HakanIST, Matanya, Wim_b are stew.

Note that the NMT (used for Papago) is on entirely different API endpoint of https://developers.naver.com/products/nmt/ (docs - both unfortunately only in Korean). NMT has 10,000 chars/day limit, probably needs some deal with Naver Corp?

Merged, deployed, done!

I don't know about Chinese IME stuff, but Can Reproduce on Chrome v79.0.3945.130 (stable)/Windows 10 Education Version 1909 (Build 18363.592). Using default Microsoft IME.

GIPBEs does not exempt you from the local blocks, check if there is local block against that IP on the project you are editing.

Only two accounts (pywikibot-oauth and pywikibot-test) were granted GIPBE, and you must authenticate as one of the accounts to enjoy the IP Block exemption. We are not willing to unblock Amazon Web Services/Google Cloud/Microsoft Azure/etc etc IPs as they are frequently abused for provisioning VPN node to vandalize Wikipedia.

GIPBE duly granted.

@Majavah If you are fine with me SWATing, I can do it for you.

Maybe provide a key like $userpage, $usertalk, $contribs, and convert it to wikilinks on saving?

I tried to find information about https://lists.wikimedia.org/ policies and governance in order to know what is the benchmark, but at least after a quick search I have failed. If we have this benchmark, then we can check what is the difference with Space's policies and governance, and then we can discuss about specific changes.

• One user generally inactive, removed.
• Two users are not responding to questions:
  • 책읽는달팽 (R) is not responding to the question left @ 2019-11-28 and onwards. Had not edited for a while, except 3 edits on January. Should this be considered for immediate removal or followup?
  • 호로조 (H) has not edited since end of 2019, and question dated 2020-01-10 is awaiting response. Will follow up.
• Otherwise they had not received a question (because they recently signed up) or they are responding in a resonable timeframe.

I'm not angry at you, I just think you should not be editing /qqq via gerrit. What is done is done, indeed, and undoing what-is-done to prove a small point is pointless, so I was telling you you should rather just edit twn. I'm sorry if you felt I was angry at you.

MediaWiki.org Localization#translatewiki.net:

Only the English messages and their initial documentation must be done in the source code.

It is less efficient (I don't think the speed of git repo commit is important at all when the authoritative source is twn) — you have to wait 2 seconds (waiting for twn to load) versus at least 24 hours (max 3-4 days) — as a rule of thumb you should edit everything that is not en.json via twn.

Actually no.

How is possible to loginwiki is so big??

/qqq doesn't need a patch, just edit twn as if it is a translation.

For the records: I don't use cvn-unification that often, but I always get pinged by someone who uses it whenever the bot is down (within 12 hours, usually).

Care to define the definition of Activity?

• Few hotfixes (including missing translations) deployed (Revision 25588448, 25588451, 25588609, 25588628, 25588634, 25588641, 25588667, 25588680) - I have a reminder to delete them once the train has stopped at Korean Wikipedia station :P
• I get different results for re-try. Some topic has less article (i.e. biography has 83 to draw from), so it might be more likely that people will notice result reuse if they try getting list quite often, though.
• Quality seems to have significantly dropped: at least 3 mismatches in all topics. (Geography got 0 correct articles in first 10, history got 4/10, music 4/10, Sports 2/10, literature 2/10, religion 2/10, pop culture 4/10, entertainment 5/10, foods 2/10, biography 4/10, military 7/10, economy 3/10, )

Community Proposal to change the Help Desk format to one of the following:

We, at Korean Wikipedia, used the following CSS hack to avoid submitting (and waiting for) configuration changes: maybe try this one? (According to our records, this was last used in 2017 so I can't guarantee it will work in 2020.)

.mw-wiki-logo {
	background-image: url('{REPLACE HERE WITH upload.wikimedia.org THUMBNAIL LINK}') !important;
}

Did a quick skimming: Geography had 3~4 (depending on how generous you are)/10, craft-hobbies had 5/10, but otherwise 7~10/10.

It is probably configured via Mediawiki namespace page to show that interface message.

Renamers know that the notes are public.

Meta has two blacklists: there is a global one(in main NS), and another one is local one (in MW namespace). You can't realistically merge them.
