Aklapper changed the status of T189973: Image fails to display in Firefox, but works in Chrome from Open to Stalled.

Hi @QuiFitKiwi. thanks for taking the time to report this!
When you click on the first link directly, can you access the image and is the image displayed in your web browser? If it is not displayed, what is displayed / which exact error message is shown?
Does this problem also happen with another browser (which browser)?
Have you tried to bypass your browser cache?

(Unfortunately in the Google-Code-in-2017 task we did not ask students/contributors to explicitly define a license for their proposal. That was our mentors' fault.)

Hi @DonTrung, welcome and thanks a lot for taking the time to report this!
Unfortunately this report lacks some information. If you have time and can still reproduce the problem: Please add a more complete description to this report (a list of steps to reproduce which leave no room for interpretation what to do, describing actual results and expected results after performing the steps to reproduce, attaching or linking to a public testcase with a complete URL, etc). You can edit the task description by clicking Edit Task.
Ideally, exact and clear steps to reproduce should allow any other person to follow these steps (without having to interpret those steps) and see the same results. Problems that others can reliably reproduce can get fixed faster. Thanks!

@srishakatux and I discussed potential approaches / ideas. The following comment touches both T186721 (to merge into this task?) and T188244, I'm afraid.

General thoughts:

  • I'd currently not investigate creating (and maintaining!) a separate tool (querying Gerrit API) from scratch. Maybe in the long run. Let's start with what's in place.
  • Obviously, any workflow should be "public" and not depend on a single person's account's access rights ("my Gerrit accounts 'My Review' dashboard") or mail inbox ("my notifications from Gerrit for those patches by new contributors which I subscribed to") etc.

Aklapper closed T170091: Check detached accounts in DB with same username for "mediawiki" and "phab" sources but different uuid's (and merge if connected) as Declined.

The number of such accounts is pretty low nowadays (200) and as we concentrate on development stats this issue does not deserve its own task.

The solution depends on someone to analyze, understand, and fix the underlying problem. :)

Aklapper added a comment to T189459: Adding an extra tab in the top of Basque Wikipedia.

I don't know if "inserting a new tab" is the best solution. I'd recommend to discuss the actual underlying problem (we want a second version of an article, for a different audience) in a better suited and broader venue, like a mailing list.

Aklapper added a comment to T189646: Large PDF file does not display page thumbnails.

Why would a re-upload fix some problem?
If for example the thumbnailer indexer ran out of memory (the thumbnails are HTTP 500 errors) as the PDF file is huge, re-uploading won't help with anything.

See T188149#4010091 - clear steps that allow someone else to see the problem, to start with.

Thanks for reporting this. Can you please always include version information for the extension and MediaWiki? Thanks in advance!

Aklapper added a comment to T189459: Adding an extra tab in the top of Basque Wikipedia.

that would point to the article with a slash

Where would that article for younger people be located? On a Basque Wikipedia sub page, if I get it right?
The whole idea to me sounds a bit similar to Simple English Wikipedia (but of course not in English)?

I have done my research, and it seems that there is an extension for this

The Header Tabs extension is not deployed yet on any Wikimedia sites, so that code would have to go through the review process.

If current workflows welcome improvements I'd recommend to discuss your impressions and ideas with the Design and/or Design Research team: See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Design_Research for mailing list information (as I do not consider this task in itself 'actionable' currently).

Aklapper added a comment to T183885: ApiDisabled and ApiQueryDisabled should have PHPUnit tests.

@BamLifa: Where to see that this task has been completed already? Links/references are welcome for any such statements. I don't see any dedicated test file in MediaWiki core's /tests/phpunit/includes/api directory for those two items, and git log includes/api/ApiQueryDisabled.php and git log includes/api/ApiDisabled.php does not show any recent related changes either, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places?
