Resolving this task.
No ripples in the water
The sand is smooth and quiet

Thanks for the ping. I've added a note to the next issue of Tech News to let folks know of the change. It will go out on 2019-04-22

This was added to Tech News in March: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2019/10
The change was made to the Wikipedia portal first: T216793
Then the wikis: T175877#5063452

I don't think this is only effecting Chrome (Blink) users. I'm able to reproduce on iOS using Safari (Webkit). I see this behavior when both logged out and logged in. As you can see it's also effecting other links such as "Cur, Prev, and Undo" as Andre pointed out. So not Thanks-specific and not Chrome specific. :/

Not sure why this was proxied to Phabricator. :)

Pedanticism alert!

I'm resolving this task for a few reasons. One, it was started two quarters ago. :) and two, it's rather vague and has included a bunch of discreet work. Reviwing the progress and satisfaction of my work can get a little challenging when it's 6 months between satisfaction surveys. :) Three, the work within this task encompass the initial work around AMC up to, and including, the first deployment to the three target wikis. It's a good time as any to make a break. I'll work with @ovasileva to setup tasks for me for the quarter.

Message regarding new features on mobile set to the three target Wikipedias.

It's been suggested to me to expand the table in the desertion to help with clarity. Show how the results differ for logged-out user on English Wikipedia (where logged out users can't create new prices in the mainspace) and how the results differ for logged-out users on a wiki (like French Wikipedia) where they can.

Yep, find a time and I'll be there.

Some updates

• The project page is now marked for translation (except for updates):
  • https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Advanced_mobile_contributions

The feedback is appreciate, but I think there's a little confusion. This task is about adding a feature to search results on mobile to be more like desktop. For example if I search for "not a real page" on English Wikisource (both logged-out or logged-in) I see a red link under the search box that says "Create the page "Not a real page" on this wiki!" from which I can create a new page. The same search results on mobile do not show a red link under the search box. That is the change this task proposes.

@CKoerner_WMF would it be possible to request translations of our project page in Spanish, Arabic, and Indonesian? These are the languages we'll be launching with so it seems important to have those setup. Thoughts?

Message was posted by security to wikimedia-l, wikitech-l, and wikitech-ambassadors mailing lists.

It looks like we still have to decide which properties are supported before we document them. :)

We could post something to the talk pages of all Mediawiki:mobile.css with recommendations. The conundrum is that we only want to message talk pages where this run is in effect. A global Wikimedia search engine would be nice right about now.

As Deb mentioned in 2017 see: T155290

I have done a poor job in keeping this task updated.

It's been nearly two weeks since the announcements were sent. Feedback has been given and addressed with support from AHT and Security. The major change (password length T208246) has been made as of Dec 13. I'm resolving this task for the quarter and this phase of assistance. Community Relations is happy to continue working on communicating further security improvements, all you need is to ask. :)

Upon recommendation I have additional sent a message to the stewards-l mailing list (waiting approval) and the Bureaucrats noticeboards.

@Tgr, thanks for the feedback.

Sent to mailing lists.

Yep! I'll have a message going out Thursday, Dec 6. More info: T205931#4795569

A related request was made on-wiki by a friendly IP editor: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Updgir90a9m8tij9

This was successfully held with about a dozen folks in attendance.

Project page is now on-wiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Security_Team/Password_strengthening_2019

No. It means that the addition of this request in the wishlist this year helps with prioritization. It’s a good thing. Let’s hope it receives many votes.

Heya, I just wanted to chime in here with some context on how this idea might move forward. I see the wishlist item was declined and I recently sent an email to another volunteer with related information about the status of the Wiktionary app.

Rita and I have talked. We have a Doodle open for the team to pick a date. Sometime in late November.

@JBennett and I met today. Here's our suggested communication plan.

I met with @TBolliger and have a meeting to discuss CommRel's support with @JBennett on 7 November. We'll be discussing the first two items in the task description.

@Johan, I'll reach out to Comms about promoting via social media accounts later this week.

I think the documentation looks pretty stable. It's referenced from the appropriate section in the main Kartographer help page. I'm going to be bold and resolve. If others object, please reopen and let me know why. :)

I'm going to resolve this task as the work is generally complete for this quarter. I suggest if the Readers Web team (and Olga and I briefly discussed this) needs support for the coming quarter (around Special pages on mobile) then we create a separate and specific task for those outreach and community relation needs. :)

A delayed update. Apologies. The interviews have been published with findings. Credit to Olga and Alex.

Howdy @Timeshifter,
Thanks for the feedback. I want to give a little background to echo @Trizek-WMF on why we utilize Tech News as a primary communication method and why centralization is important to wrangle the work we do.
