Note that the Abuse filter was just a stop-gap measure while we finished the setup (which has been taking longer than we'd like), it wasn't meant to be permanent. I personally would prefer not making well-meaning editors with established accounts on other Wikimedia wikis (like MarcoAurelio :)) jump through hoops to make edits. But that's something we can look at later down the road. For now the fishbowl approach is probably the quickest solution.

On a slight tangent: during the import, we're taking care to avoid importing all pages indiscriminately, to reduce some of the cruft (templates, redirects, images from commons, etc.) that accumulated over the years. It would be very helpful to this effect if we could run maintenance scripts on the wiki during the import process. Would it be possible to install Extension:Maintenance? If so, let us know if you'd prefer a separate issue to track that.

I need to be able to get the formatted extracts either via the old api.php or the new REST service. If a new endpoint is created providing such extracts with well-formed HTML, yes, that would work for me.
Those weren't really sensitive (in e.g. the legal sense) documents, just internal organizational stuff that didn't make sense to be published, so there's no significant risk for us (in fact, most of those documents aren't event current anymore). We already have plans to deal with that content, and were just making sure there weren't new recommendations for that use case. Thanks all for confirming.

IIUC, that is not exactly what this request is about: currently I'm using a request like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exintro&indexpageids=true&format=json&generator=random&grnnamespace=0&format=json, which returns a html-formatted extract. The problem is that the html is not guaranteed to be valid, hence it fails if embedded in a xhtml page (or any other context where well-formed xml is required).

T132058: 3d extension supporting STL (3d printing files) is mostly complete, and will mean the main request here is Resolved, so no, I don't think it'd be a good fit.
OBJ would be a good format for open 3D models because it has an exclusively text-based representation, contrary to STL (T143201, T132058), and PLY (T145499), which can be either ASCII or binary. What's more, STL files are often saved in the binary format by default, while providing no no surface distinction --e.g. in the filename extension-- which would allow distinguishing them from the ASCII ones.

Indeed, the WMF logo is in the bottom row of the logos grid, but still part of that grid, so the main issue remains. Considering that the page contains 16 logos in a neat 4x4 grid, we could still have a perfect 5x3 grid if we removed one logo from there, so not even aesthetics would be sacrificed with such a change.

I don't think we should be the ones to choose where to put the emphasis. It could well be that newcomers to Wikimedia development would be interested in working on high-impact issues (the same reason why editing articles on Wikipedia and having the result immediately published for all to see is attractive), which may include submitting changes to core MediaWiki. Are there any processes through which we could collect what documentation resources people are lacking the most? Maybe the Analytics team has collected / can collect some data in that regard?

Thanks for the clarifications, @Krenair. SpecialInterwiki isn't critical, just a nice-to-have. Configure, OTOH, would be really handy, but I understand there are concerns about its usage -- it was a long shot, but I thought I should at least ask.

Oh, also, if that's still a possibility, it would be nice to use "WMPT" and "WMPT Discussão" as project / project talk namespaces.
Sorry for not commenting sooner, but if possible, we'd also like to have at least the CategoryTree, EasyTimeline, PdfHandler, ParserFunctions and SpecialInterwiki extensions installed. I'm not sure those are installed by default on all such wikis. Something like this: https://nyc.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Version would probably cover most of our potential needs. I would also ask for the Configure extension, if that would be ok.

That's good to hear. I wonder if that approach (i.e. script-based) can be extended to all free-form documentation checked into git, and if so, whether it can be run automatically on each push for review -- like TravisCI does on Github. If that is both possible and planned, I would support not only keeping the current docs in git, but also moving mw.org code there. However, I suspect the less structured the documentation is, the harder it is to do automated checks like this, hence my inclination not to rely on review culture alone to keep docs in sync with code (especially since git-hosted docs are harder to edit for occasional contributors, when the very fact that they're free-form makes such contributions more likely).
