The site is back up; the VM that hosts it had run out of disk space.

I still personally experience the 301 to 127.0.0.1 mentioned in T427081#11950084, FWIW.

Snaevar, maybe the functionality wasn't obvious, but you could click on a button at any Wiktionary entry, record in your browser, and then immediately upload to Commons and add it to the entry. It was seamless and worked incredibly well. :/

There are now excessive vandalism and promotion on some Wikinews editions and we may have to confront with them. Maybe considering changing to admin edit-only mode for a few days.

I endose the idea for letting admins do some final cleanup. It would be a shame for us to simply let Wikinews (especially those with a smaller immediate-active community base) forever disgusted by the vandals in their final moment and unable to do anything to save them.

Koavf added a comment to T382859: Server-side upload request for Koavf.

Personally i believe that such lists of files to upload when the limit increases should instead be on commons. There is probably thousands of such files, and their url might change in the next decade. Not to mention that this process might not even be the correct process in a decade's time (One certainly hopes in a decade upload by url would be stable enough that the upload would be done directly on commons).

I think it would be better to create a list on commons of all the very large files waiting to be imported. It would make it easier to sort through and maintain then potentially having thousands of tasks for files that we likely aren't going to be able to upload any time soon. Having all these tasks on phab that cannot be actioned on makes it difficult to see what work needs to be done in the present.

Koavf added a comment to T382859: Server-side upload request for Koavf.

The current max file size is 5GB (T191804).

Then this may need to be a child bug to a parent that is about increasing the max upload size so it can just be put on a list of files that could/would/should be uploaded when the max size is increased.

Perhaps this task should be declined. It is unlikely we will increase the upload size further in the next 5-10 years, and i don't think it really makes sense to have server-side upload tasks just be waiting around in limbo that long.

Koavf added a comment to T54971: [Goal] Sitelinks and arbitrary accesses to Incubator, OldWikisource and BetaWikiversity.

Okay I understand that there are some concerns about the content of beta.wikisource. So if sitelinks are allowed then at some point someone will add links to content on beta.

But sitelinks are also used for templates like GFDL and for that reason I see benefits of allowing beta.wikisource to use sitelinks on wikidata.

So who wins? The yes or the no? Or is there a way to allow one and not the other? No clue. But now I said it and perhaps that can inspire someone to find a solution. :-)
