The data is displayed in the web UI but is missing from the API response.

privacy needs of the users who have been renamed

Implementing would create an Accessibility issue. How would the visually impaired be able to be exempt from CAPTCHAs if this is implemented?

I suspect this i related to T28741: Migrate file tables to a modern layout (image/oldimage; file/filerevision; add primary keys).

another occurrence of T379550 - the project-bastion membership is missing

This is intentional. T392356

Erroneous SectionErrors have broken my bot multiple times since the feature was introduced. There is no reasonable way to workaround the error in code and still get the page's text.

Why does this need to be rehashed again? Per previous discussion in a WMF-Steward meeting, vanishing should not remove the user's password (T368524 declined). Nothing has changed since the previous decision other than the implementation now (incorrectly per previous decision) deleting passwords.

This is due to T419635: Drop il_to column from imagelinks table in wmf production.

This is due to T419635: Drop il_to column from imagelinks table in wmf production, which will need the views to be updated.

Pywikibot cannot do anything about the server lagging.

When I attempted to reproduce, it was the site object instantiation, not the login.

>>> site = pywikibot.Site('wikidata')

I don't think it's inaccurate… system users are defined as users who can't authenticate (don't have a password, passkey, or other login credentials), don't have an email, and don't have a "Keep me logged in" token (reference) – this is all true for vanished users.

Open questions:

• Should this prompt appear for reauths too? (I'm leaning no, might be disruptive to the action the user was trying to take)

I'd say no, especially if it isn't permanently dismissible.

• If the user dismisses this prompt, should we keep showing it every time they log in, ad infinitum? Or should we stop showing it after they've dismissed it once / N times?

Please do not keep showing it after dismissal. This is poor UX when done on other sites I use. If I decide not to add one, I'm not going to add one no matter how many times you prompt me.

T420637: [wikireplicas] Create views for new wiki abstractwiki and its subtask need to be completed.

It would only be 'global' for Wikimedia wikis.

__NOINDEX__ is not enabled in content namespaces.

The Wikimedia config removes globalblock from steward by default and adds it back only on metawiki.

The extension shouldn't be adding ipinfo-view-arbitrary-ip to the local steward user group. That should be left to the global group.

Ack. Should we undo that code change, then?
