Yep, we just finished getting the privacy statement up on gov wiki, so we're good to go now. I do believe we're ready for you to send!

Oh, probably good if I tell you what it is I want you to send out, too. We'd like a message along the lines of this (though please let me know if you see any issues with the message, and feel free to make suggestions!). That doc also contains the list of usernames we want to send to.

Hi there. Hopefully I'm doing this right - please let me know if I've borked it:

Did she log into wikitech and set a real password instead of the temporary one? That would populate user_password.

Just wanted to leave a comment thanking you all for creating and deploying this feature - it's been incredibly useful to me lately, something I didn't even realized I needed so badly until I had it! Thank you, thank you, thank you :)

Did it look like any of these three?

Kbrown added a comment to T163359: 503 errors reported in VisualEditor on office.wiki during (at the start of?) read-only mode.

To be clear, you tried viewing a page like https://office.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Does_not_exist&action=edit&redlink=1, and instead of a wiki interface, you got an error page like the below?

If so, this probably wasn't related to VisualEditor (or MediaWiki), I think these errors are generated by load balancers or something. I also don't see anything that would point to VisualEditor in the error logs around that time (Logstash).

Kbrown added a comment to T126614: Remove IP addresses from watchlist notification emails.

For the record, Roan asked me to file this so that it existed in a reviewable format for him/his team. How priorities are hashed out among phab users is not something I'm familiar with, so I don't know if "he asked me to" matters, or whether he wanted to review it because he thought it was workable or because he just wanted to wontfix it officially or what.

Kbrown added a comment to T106262: Stats for a page is not updated after a null edit. Now it has to be a real edit.

Bumping this thread, as this bug (at least, I think it's this bug) has surfaced on Meta this week and caused rather a lot of annoyance for people trying to track translation progress on multiple languages.

Kbrown added a comment to T50292: Add support for fallbacks on Special:MyLanguage.

Bumping this gently, since this type of fallback has been requested by community members on Meta this week (in the context of the current workaround being somewhat unintuitive and people being redirected back to English if it's not done exactly right). Any chance someone could make this happen?
