Waiting on some more development work, I think.

Published!

Updates welcome (as in, all dependencies look done!), moving for the time being.

I aim to get it out at the end of June/beginning of July, depending on content.

This is ongoing throughout the month of July at a minimum:

@Keegan — food for thought: can we enable this on smaller wikis without direct approval?

Draft ported over to Commons, I need to wikify it, move it, socialize it still

It looks like we're going to plop the specs on a wiki page in Commons:Structured Data at the end of the month. A prototype will be built around that, and then we'll do a round of feedback.

Didn't meant to close yet

Hebrew Wikipedia has identified an owner for the bot, message left on meta.

In progress:

This does not seem to be a good idea (ref).

Step one: see if it's a good idea

I don't think this task is needed from a CL any more. Ramsey has been writing the user stories.

IIRC, @SandraF_WMF was going to continue to own the tools spreadsheet, it's relevant to GLAMs in a big way. This task can be removed from CL workboards for now, I think.

We'll be advertising for feedback on multilingual captions this quarter (T191043).

The page is running now, and the feedback process can run continuously here (anyone can keep adding examples), so I'm lowering priority again.

@Urbanecm I believe it is possible for us to set up a script that will pull all the tickets from wm-cz into a .csv file for export. I do not have the technical skills to do this myself, however.

This will be happening in April.

@alanajjar Indeed, the problem will be fixed this week when the patch is deployed.

There's been some internal delays in getting this posted, should be good to go live at any time now.

Please see the details in the linked ticket T160400. It was ultimately solved by OIT (eross) by adding the alias on the Google side. We would like to add all new aliases there and move existing aliases over (as was done for many in T122144). So this isn't really an Operations thing anymore nowadays.

Was sorting out who at the WMF "owns" this alias process since it's not for internal staff, nor for mailing lists. I've been told to tag Operations and someone will look at it next week.

2. If easy enough: Export all existing tickets and send the archive to me so we can import them

So, "moving" it to the queue would still forward it to the proper location? How would we then track it if it's being forwarded to their private servers?

Suggested wording:

"These global preferences apply to $WIKI as well as to its sister projects, in all languages. For help, please visit Help:GlobalPreferences."

Here WIKI = this is the name of the wiki the user is on and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:GlobalPreferences needs to be written (and maybe also copied to all wikis).

This could be reworded to be more concise. I am not a native English speaker and I am sure we can find something clear and simple. :-)

Thank you!

I've closed the discussion.

Could you either add this Tech News or ping me/@Quiddity/@Trizek-WMF as son as you know when this will go into production?

Yeah. @Keegan is going to do that, I believe.

No need to boil the ocean. I think a quick message change could make this more understandable. "Sets preferences on all wikis" or something similar seems to be clear and alleviate the ambiguity of 'global'.

I'd say we're only luke-warming the ocean, given the technical complexity involved in setting up the tour. But I like your idea better. How about something like this -

However, to me it does not solve the immediate issue of "What is this?" without having to click on it. Unless that's how we want it to be discovered?

What is "this" referring to? The link for Special:GlobalPreferences?

We don't have to make it very complex. We can skip the part of showing how to set local exceptions and only mention it in a guided tour step. How about this - Tour starts when someone open Special:GlobalPreferences. For the first step we point to the "global" checkboxes and explain what those are for. Then we ask them to click on one (for example timezone or language) and click save. And done. We tell them their setting is live on all Wikimedia wikis and they can set exceptions from Special:Preferences.
