The largest thing here would be having the current namespaces as aliases, especially in the Template and Module namespaces. This will create a massive mess otherwise, although it will only be for a while.
The projects that we have are small and often inactive for long periods.
Not true with Wikipedia and Wiktionary, but the rest, yes. Speaking of which, there has been NO discussion of this in the Icelandic projects. Agree with the required conseus.

There is something weird going on. An auto-confirmed, non-sysop can not see the link. The manual says
If $wgUploadNavigationUrl is set to a url, the link is always shown, regardless of the user's permissions.
Either that is a lie or the change was not applied correctly. It could be that I am forgetting something, but nothing is pointing me in that direction. Uploads are limited to sysops on is.wikibooks. I have a theory that only sysops can see it.

MediaWiki-extensions-IPReputation seems to be the exact project. It seems to use the risk data from spur, https://docs.spur.us/data-types?id=risk-enums. Spur and stopforumspan do not track the same thing. According to a security researcher, there definitely are groups that do lower risk level stuff like spamming, but not higher risk stuff like spur tracks. There are also groups that do both. LTA (Long term abusers/vandals) reports created by users on WMF projects show the same thing.
As for handing the task over to the team responsible for iPoid and IPReputation, they clearly allready have their hands full.

There is an false positive here. When the about.com domain was added to the Global Spam list, it was said that old versions of the domain where fine. (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_blacklist/Archives/2023-04#about.com ) So, if an user archives an already present about.com link, they would be, under this bug, blocked from editing. That is problematic.

Sometimes new editors copy articles from one title to another because they do not know how Special:MovePage works, and are in fact fully unaware of it's existence. It is an false positive for an copy-paste copyvio check.

Not that my opinion has any weight, but I have some opinions on this. I think that a lot of these ideas can be done with Vega5. Since Vega4 it has supported layers, and that unblocks potentials that where not possible with Vega2. The map provided by JTanner is doable, probably even with Vega2 (although Vega2 will not be used). I am conserned about the number of dots though, Europe would probably be better as an one highlighted area, as WMF projects rarely use map closeups, but there are third party tools users can use to reduce the number of the dots. The route-map is also doable in Vega5.

Icelandic ISBN numbers are also a problem. They are managed by the National library (https://landsbokasafn.is), which does not have an search engine for them. They are added to "Global register of publishers" (https://grp.isbn-international.org), but that only shows publishers, not books, and is thus inadequate for Wikipedia use.
Prior to WorldCat's removal from Citoid, they showed up just fine.

The solution here is fine, but the problem is non-existant. It is a classic case of an solution looking for a problem.
In W3Cs standard (the same organization as was behind HTML4) alternative text is supposed to be short. See https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/G94
Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility/Alternative_text_for_images#Basics says the same, so the editor is trying to violate the rules of the project he edits the most to. It so happens that the creator of this ticket pointed out the latter point out to me, so I know he has no valid argument here.
Let's not waste more time than necessary.

It would be nice to fetch the first page thumbnail up on visiting the Index page, using the same method as with the "Page" namespace. The "Page" namespace preloads 1024px for the previous and next page. That way, an user can upload PDF/DjVu, create an index and the first page is ready when the user saves the index.
Confirmed. 1024px is pre-fetched from looking at the previous page in the "Page" namespace. It does preload 1024px even if you use an higher resolution. Making it dynamic/calculated from the users resolution would fix the issue.

I think Vega-Lite could replace `<graph template="MediaWiki:Piechart.vega">` and make it unnecessary. It already defines graph types, and a user can not really change those that much. I think the graph template suggests an Vega-Lite change, without mentioning Vega-Lite.

I think a lot of the issues can be fixed with better documentation and UI changes. Created an specific task for documentation, so only covering UI here.
- Provide two layouts, one without the dashboard, charts and dataset menu and one as-is. (maybe with an pre-written superset css, redirect to "https://superset.wmcloud.org/superset/sqllab/?standalone=1" upon login in superset or whatever other method). Having all of the menus for newbies is going to be an overload of information.
- Provide the links given in quarry under "database tables" in superset. There is for example an site for looking up wikis and pairing them with clusters, like enwiki - s1 ( https://db-names.toolforge.org/).

True, EasyTimeline is more reliable and stable, but it is also relying on a software, ploticus, that was last released 10 years ago. Last time the servers where upgraded, ploticus was compiled specifically, and that is not something WMF does regularly. Apparantly the author of ploticus moved on to datadraw, another non-interactive graph software. That one is in python, server side and outputs SVGs. IMO a change like that would still need to happen.

@Intodesa: (intentionally using simple english) So, the issue clearly is that the page can not be linked to Wikidata. But, there is an issue underneath that one, which causes the page not to be linkable. Not sure to what extent, tho. In order to fix this, we need an namespace called "ကာရန်" in an seperate task, an task like T314023, just for "ကာရန်" instead of "Appendix" or "အဆက်လက္ကရဴ". That also means there needs to be an discussion on mnw.wiktionary on this namespace, just like there was one with Appendix.

- Write code to teach mediawiki-core's DjvuHandler (and also the PdfHandler extension) that the dpi value exists and that it can be used while fetching images
- Have ProofreadPage read the dpi value from somewhere and then pass it to MediaWiki core (my instinct would be to use a Index: page parameter for storage, since that is how ProofreadPage already allows users to set the resolution of the image).

Added a request to create a property, that specifies if sharpness should be used, as per the discussions of this task and the sister tasks of this task. See https://wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/thumbnail_sharpness. Chose an item type property given the available property types, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ListDatatypes. The property will not allow other inputs than yes (Q6452715) and no (Q1814990). The logic here is if "sharpness = Q6452715" then sharpness should be applied. There will be at least 1 to 2 weeks until the property gets created.

The front-end at Wikisource can then just query the relevant field in the image links table, to supply to thumbor.

As far as Lua Wikidata calls go, you want to avoid mw.wikibase.getEntity, or at least suffix it, so it only fetches badges or whatever you are after in each case (f.x. not local entity = mw.wikibase.getEntity()). That is because it, unsuffixed, fetches the whole item. For statements you can use either mw.wikibase.getBestStatements(id, property)[1] - which skips statements that are ranked as being outdated/incorrect or mw.wikibase.getAllStatements(id, property)[1] - which gives you all statements. Looking at Module:Wikidata on es.wikipedia, that does mean changing the calls to the module aswell.

It will propably peak after the save as the pages move over to the new version and then normalize. So, compare the time after the save to when it was last edited.
