Changing votewiki language to Farsi was scheduled for UTC evening backport window, 18:00, Wednesday, October 27.

Okay, let's ping @tstarling.

@Huji, Schulze. We don't have any consensus to do it with Meek. And SecurePoll is still not ready for performing our elections where we need two reserves. Please see T288185. While I could easily rank all the candidates in the Foundation's latest elections, but this is not always the case, and we can't risk using Meek at the moment.

@jrbs Okay, I think we can postpone the election for one week, but not more because there will be conflicts with the 2021 English Wikipedia ArbCom elections. We can change the interface language on 27 October 18:00 UTC (I'll do that myself). The voting period will start 29 October. I don't think you need the VoteWiki interface to be in English to tally the results. Are you okay with this timetable?

@Niharika, just to be clear, the IP editing has not been implemented yet. We are hoping that you, as a member of the backport deploy team, help us implement this the right way (i.e. through proper MediaWiki means, not JavaScript hacks or abuse filters). For example, please see T291018#7363246 where a volunteer developer says frankly that he is "unwilling to volunteer" his "time to help".

I'll do it.

Scheduled to be deployed during morning backport window on 26 August.

I'll try to do it myself.

Given we are pressed for time on this project right now, we probably won't be making that change at the moment.

@Niharika @STran @Huji, I filed the task. Please see T288185. Thanks

You should produce a ranked list of all candidates whether elected or eliminated, because some communities may want to determine some (say 2) reserved "winners" among the eliminated ones who may be called upon when needed (for example, if a genuine winner leaves Wikipedia or resigns)

After consulting with @Xaosflux, I am going to boldly reopen this task to get to the bottom of why there is developer pushback. If need be, I can assign it to myself and do the configuration myself.

I want to test an STV poll and I can't. I already was able to do such tests on testwiki (here), but now I can't. I object to the closure of this task.

@JoKalliauer That is correct. Thanks

@Dzahn the list is not complete yet. For example, FreeMono and FreeSerif are not in your list but they do work as shown in this file.

Another weird thing that I have noticed is that if you change the zoom level of your browser, the details appear on or disappear from the map.

@Dzahn Could you please provide us with an updated list for https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/fc-list like you did here and probably here. Thanks

Seems withdrawn to me

Also see the last succesful RFC on Commons closed by a crat with a 71% consensus: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Requests_for_comment/Partial_blocks
As a Commons admin, I think any percentage greater than 2/3 means the proposal is most probably accepted. The German Wikipedia uses the same 2/3 threshold for its RFAs, as far as I know.

Pinging the last three persons who have worked on the extension @thiemowmde @Umherirrender @kaldari.

Here is the first uploaded file to the South Azerbaijani Wikipedia: File:Yüklə.svg.

Thank you @Urbanecm

@Urbanecm, I provided a link to the EDP of AZBWP on the description of this task. Please confirm the patch.

Yes, that is the correct output. Somehow it did not register for 4nn1l2 that these are the same format as what he attached.

The results should be something like

I think I was told last time that the tally cannot be run on wiki (the Shulze model is a bit involved, and PHP will run out of time)

I have the electionadmin userright, but I think I need to be added as an admin for that specific campaign before I can see that data. I only see time, username, and domain at the moment.

Hello, I have no access to CU information on votewiki. Is this intentional?

Btw: dewiki does NOT use T: for template.

Nobody said that. German Wikipedia does use P: for Portal and H: for Help namespaces.

Yes, but those are small wikis

German Wikipedia is definitely not a small wiki.

@Masumrezarock100 If German Wikipedia can use P: for Portal and H: for Help, why can't Commons use T: for Template? Besides, English Wiktionary, Hindi Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia, Italian Wiktionary, Russian projects (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, etc), Chinese projects (Wikipedia, Wikiquote, etc), etc already use T: for Template.

We should have stuck to the original proposal, i.e., T: for Template. T: is not a language code nor a Wikimedia project code.

@Zoranzoki21 @Zache @Urbanecm
After making the patch, I noticed that nys was added to MediaWiki in January 2018 (T182305). It should be removed from both Commons and Wikidata (See T127858 for its addition task). Should I amend the current patch, or should I open another Phabricator task? Please advise.

I saw no problems at fawiki either on Firefox or Chrome, logged in or logged out. Maybe it's related to a particular OS.

Fawiki holds its elections on Votewiki too. Please see T230614. We will need SecurePoll working from late October until early November. Thanks.

@Urbanecm Thank you!

Done by @Trizek-WMF here.

@MaxSem, Yes. I personally ran the bot for three days and all edits were good. The edits by Community_Tech_bot looks good too.

Filters 149 and 150 on Commons disabled and deleted.

I can't understand why this ticket has been hindered.
The following is a list of Iranian websites which have been added to the whitelist by my request:

• Nasimonline.ir T203371
• Yphc.ir T201237
• Karbobala.com T201236
• Farsnews.com T200872
• Mehrnews.com T213961

And two other websites by another user's request:

• Tasnimnews.com T134472
• Khamenei.ir T134472

How and why is Mojnews.com different?

@Liuxinyu970226 Could you please explain your comment above?

@Doostdar and @Mardetanha LGTM to you both? Because, in my memories, some Iranian "public domain" or CC BY(-SA) websites are also problemic due to illegal forking from US states' governments.

Side note reported.

@Framawiki Confirmed. Thank you.

Uploads-via-URL for Commons are already restricted to a pretty small set of users (sysop, extended-uploader, bot, and Image-reviewer).

You seem to be contradicting yourself here. I reiterated that non-admin cannot edit/create any page mediawiki namespaces, but you claim you did.
