Thanks @El_Grafo that's helpful insight.

To further the support this goal we're asking for some feedback on a potential update to the Japanese language analyzer. Message to be shared soon with the Japanese Wikipedia community.

@MelodyKramer Nothing pressing at the moment, but definitely as we get closer to enabling this feature. The (very early and likely to change) roadmap has deploying as a goal for Q1 of this coming fiscal year. In English, that means July - Sept 2017.

As @Revent mentioned in T120288#3349755 we should draft a post to the Commons Village Pump to discuss the options on how we might move forward with MP3 support.

@Revent We are in agreement.

@Qgil OK, what's next? :)

Sorry, I prioritized other work over this and it fell off my radar. Thank you for the ping. :)

I saw the post on wikitech-l regarding this Rfc, but we haven't gotten much feedback there. I strongly suggest we create a subtask for this work to reach out to communities, particularly our more active communities, for some feedback. Early and frequent communications is a best practice for things like this. :)

@bd808 Do you know of any tools that to something similar? Show where a phrase appears in articles?

I'm an eventualist as much as the next person, but if we wait for a copyright violation tool to be developed we may be waiting a long time. That makes me sad that we'd potentially miss out on a sizable amount of useful content.

Please, tell me more. :)

With the recent update to add fuzzy title search to Special:Undelete an editor on the English Wikipedia requested some form of pagination.

@dr0ptp4kt I think the idea is that if a 3d object is embedded (as a thumbnail) on a wiki page, that clicking on it would then enable interactivity (either in place at the same dimensions or fullscreen). I think the use cases are general enough to describe many personas, but my first thought is that of a reader. :)

Adding to the backlog and un-assigning. I'm not sure what the plans are for Interactive work at the moment.

I've shared this news and asked for help testing on the list of wikis in T162302#3245957:

@Verdy_p If I understand your request in relation to this task you think that the updated map styles are lacking detail at particular levels. Is that correct? Could you be more specific as to how you think the city/region labels should be prioritized? For your other concerns, individual tasks would make it much easier to discuss and track work for each.

For posterity (and because I'm excited for this feature personally): A demo of this was shared at the recent Wikimedia Hacktathon in Vienna during the showcase on the last day. You can find a recording of the demo at the YouTube link below.

Assuming I'm helping in this, I've assigned it to myself.

I'm catching up after the hackathon in Vienna and a personal holiday, so apologies for the delay.

A blog from the DJ for the Saturday night party.

Request that the smoking area not be directly in front of the main entrance. The opening and closing of the automatic doors create a constant flow into the main shared space.

• Quick meeting times on the schedule. Give folks time to move between sessions

11:30 <anomie> We have nice little dry erase table placards, but I see no erasers.

@Jdlrobson Sorry for the confusion. This topic is a little complicated. :)

I've asked for translations of the message to other languages. Once I have a few translations we can post to the local Travelers' Pub for the remaining Wikivoyages.

I moved the draft over to the proposed structure for monthly updates Olga and I discussed. This resolves this task.

I just sent another reminder (trying to cover all venues!) to the commons-l mailing list letting folks know about the coming feature. I pointed folks to the discussion on Commons and the beta cluster for testing.

Link! https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Travellers%27_pub#Maps_changes_2

@Pnorman Yeah, let's get something on the English Wikivoyage Traveler's Pub (https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Travellers%27_pub)

I wonder additionally if there's any value in automatically creating a .gif thumbnail from 3D objects that would rotate? 🤔

A recent comment on mw.org brought up the request to support the .pdb file format for rendering chemical files. Mentioning it here for consideration.

I was a slacker and it looks like @Jdlrobson took care of this:

@Mrjohncummings and all, I took a first pass at something that looks like a blog post. I used some of the same language for a proposed announcement on Commons. Please feel free to dig in and edit.

Looking through talk pages of the larger wikis we contacted and a sizable number (I did 50 at random) of the smaller wikis shows no actionable feedback. The Page Previews talk page has also been quiet - no folks coming from our message to share feedback. I consider the feedback from phase 1 complete.

Deployments have been scheduled for late April. T162626

In relation to T158203, the index for Chinese will be upgraded to MB25 as the results of testing and user feedback has been positive.

Another post shared with the larger and more active discovery-l https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/discovery/2017-April/001504.html

I think Help:CirrusSearch makes sense. @Cpiral, assuming you agree I'd love your opinion on where in the documentation. :)

I may be wrong, but I think Page Previews are still appearing for links to disambiguation pages. On English Wikipedia:

Ping @Sadads - Hey, do you know of any other GLAM groups that might be interested in contributing 3D files on Commons?

@Fuzheado good idea. I've created a task and encourage folks to consider other communities or organizations to include.

In preparation of this feature being available on Commons we asked the community some questions related to concerns over patented works and how to make contributors aware of policy.

Just to clarify, is this for English Wikipedia only? Other language variants have been approached and have not expressed the same concerns.

I also included the phase 2 wikis Olga and i discussed as we have translations handy, and feedback has been nominal or friendly.

The aforementioned message was sent to Wikipedia Village Pump (or equivalent) of the 247 wikis included in this phase on 19 April.

@Deskana If I understand things correctly this will be making a lot of admins very happy. I think a gradual rollout and an announcement that the feature is available would be perfect.

Message to Phase 1 wikis has been marked for translation and a request has been sent to translators-l.

Village Pump discussions posted by me for the top 10 Wikipedias:

Paul has a post up on the Maps mailing list as a first step. https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/maps-l/2017-April/001565.html

The PM will reach out to the contributor and their question on page views. Otherwise, resolved!
