patilise added a comment to T216766: Mobile: Redlink in hatnote is not red.

@Jdlrobson @alexhollender_WMF Both assumptions are wrong.

  1. Hatnotes do contain links in most cases. For example, [[w:en:Template:Main]] is used in >350,000 pages.
  2. Links in hatnotes are frequently red links in some wikis, e.g. jawiki. This is because it is accustomed to include [[w:ja:Template:仮リンク]] (counterpart of [[w:en:Template:Interlanguage link]]) when the linked article is only available in other languages. A quick search of Main+仮リンク on jawiki shows 2k results.

patilise added a comment to T236053: Should not apply "display: block" to nested tables In MinervaNeue skin for @media (max-width: 720px).

In most cases it is not a good idea to use nested tables. In this case, [[w:ja:Template:Infobox medal templates]] should be changed such that the outer table is implemented with div tags instead. For example, the enwiki counterpart [[w:en:Template:Infobox medal templates]] does it that way.
I suggest closing this item as won't fix.

patilise added a comment to T262391: DPL extension has been disabled on Russian Wikinews (09/2020).

The judgment by number of articles is biased. ruwikinews has 1.13M articles but only 11M user views in the past year (per stats.wikimedia.org). This is way lower than wikis of similar size (e.g. arwiki has 1.12M articles with 3B user views in the past year) and is a common feature of wikis where many (if not most) articles are created by bots.

patilise added a comment to T287362: General site outage caused by ruwikinews usage of DPL: "upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: overflow".

With a second incident, it is clear that the issue will be recurring if we simply re-enable DPL on ruwikinews now. It is not acceptable to enable DPL on ruwikinews at the cost of half an hour downtime per year (or more) on 900+ wikis. From T262391, it is pretty clear that DPL is not, and will unlikely be, actively developed in the near future. With this in mind, ruwikinews probably does not have a choice but to move their DPL uses to bots, at least in the short run.

patilise added a comment to T264940: Track metrics on Portuguese Wikipedia relating to IP-editing turn off.

I wonder if we could have a version for other wikis as well (e.g. enwiki as the largest one, jawiki as a sample for wikis with more unregistered users), probably on a separate page.
The data we currently have allows a comparison of ptwiki before and after editing by IP editors was turned off; having other wikis would allow us to make sense of ptwiki data before turning off editing by IP editors, especially on how similar/different the situation was between ptwiki and other wikis, so it is easier to assess whether the ptwiki experience could be applied on other wikis.

Other than T286362, which is a bug, I would like to mention one more potential problem in the mw-*-media tags - namely, adding/removing maintenance templates, such as Template:Unreferenced, triggers the tag.
Since the template contains an image (the book icon), this is not a bug. However, it may hamper the usefulness of the tags for the purpose of this item.

Users editing and viewing from mobile website only do not use desktop skins, and therefore do not have a reason to switch away from the default value. Therefore, the percentage for Vector includes many mobile-only users who do not actually use Vector skin.
With the above reason, I suggest excluding mobile-only users (defined as users with only edits tagged with "Mobile web edit" in the past year) next time. Not sure if it is doable though.

We appreciate you doing this, @patilise!

Would it be okay for us to add some conversations written in Japanese [i] to the page you created [ii]?

I ask this because one objective of the testing we do is to ensure the [ reply ] links appear on talk pages correctly. For us to be confident the [ reply ] links are indeed appearing as they should, we find it useful to test the tool on pages that contain content written in the language that is native to the project. In this case, Japanese.

How do you explain to users that almost every citation identifier, including DOI, needs extra markup, except ISBN, PMID, and RFC?

Why is an explanation needed? For average users they probably only want to see them linked, and that's it.

Your argument is that nobody will care enough to make links? This seems to point to the questionable value of having the links at all, if nobody is using them or interested in supporting them.

We don't have unlimited manpower. I am from the Japanese Wikipedia, where the user base is broad but the number of people able to (let alone interested to) support is really thin. Simply being "different and inconsistent" (or other technical reasons) is not a valid argument to cut a working feature and increase the already-too-heavy workload. If it is not like MediaWiki will break down tomorrow, can you please revise this decision to drop magic links?
(Adding one footnote: using a bot increases the number of revisions and uses up some manpower so that doesn't change my argument.)
