@leila I expect to have a near-final preview within three weeks and will proceed with items (2) and (3). I’ve created a new task to track the upgrade.

I've seen it claimed that ?action=purge for a given page fixes the error, but @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE says not always, so maybe people are seeing a coincidence with something dropping out of cache?

Yes, it (or null-edit) helps only once for a page and after revisit (same user or another) the error returns.

In the context of T311945, I’m migrating the Design site to a Codex + VitePress stack. Next, I plan to migrate the Research site, reusing the same theme, since the two sites have similar content structures.

Apologies for that. At the time of deployment the canary check was fine but I can see the spike on Logstash now. I believe I should've observed it further.

DDeSouza added a comment to T410696: Deploy enwiki edition of 2025 GRS.

@YLiou_WMF I checked the skip patterns for the survey and all looks fine on this end.
Methodological note: temp users (previously IP editors/anon) are now categorized with user/editors (see QuickSurvey documentation). If you see a drop in previous editing experience, this may be a result of the population change. (Alternatively, we could target all and then use the userInGroup setting to only display to temp for users, but having never used this and working on a short timeline, it may be risky as I believe there are still some open questions about the temp group functionality.)

DDeSouza added a comment to T390007: Write and publish Research Report No. 12.

@Isaac CDN has some information on how caching works on Wikimedia projects. I have the same issue. Users are served by different servers based on their IP. What probably is happening is that some caching servers have an outdated cache while others don't. I don't know if I can improve that from my side but if you trigger a cache miss the caching server will retrieve the latest version of the page. You can do that by adding a fake parameter to the page and it can be anything as the site is static. It just need to be a new URL. e.g. https://research.wikimedia.org/report.html?r=12
