Novem_Linguae added a comment to T315893: Add space between page namespace and page title.

Would recommend reverting to no space everywhere. 1) It was fine that way for many decades. 2) Adding a space in some places (displayed page title) and not others (mw.config.get('wgPageName')) introduces unnecessary complexity / inconsistencies / technical debt. It's likely to result in people writing it both the old way and the new way forever, which is confusing. Right now everyone writes it (e.g. creating wikilinks on talk pages, creating wikilinks in projectspace, etc.) without a space and this is simple and elegant and consistent.

I don't necessarily have any objection to anyone else doing the same thing for ruwikinews; but I'm just holding off myself at the minute, given the length of time since https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/455232 was merged for T201265 in 2018 (ie., in case it'd be a surprise to [some editors on] the wiki for this config to be suddenly changed at this point).

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T414684: FlaggedRevs-specific group rights from core-Permissions.php get overridden by flaggedrevs.php.

Would it make sense to say that assignments of all permissions from the FlaggedRevs extension should be set in flaggedrevs.php, so that they're all in one place (and in case e.g. another user-group is given a FlaggedRevs permission default from that file in the future)?

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T412819: Cleanup WMF production extensions that still reference undeployed UserMerge hook.

I agree with the sentiment that all code has a maintenance cost. Because of 1) complexity and 2) bitrot. It's very hard to say with certainty that a line of code will "require zero maintenance" ever again. I see maintenance done on code all the time. And if I'm reading other code in that file and stumble across this hook and I spend 5 minutes trying to figure out why a hook is there for an extension I've never heard of, that's complexity and it has a cost, even if I don't end up writing a patch that modifies that code.

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T413016: After removing namespace(s) from $wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces, the count at Special:PendingChanges still includes pages in the removed namespace(s).

Sure. Feel free to take over. I meant to write one but got sidetracked.

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T373834: Don't parse templates and wikilinks outside of comments on CSS/JS pages.

The Peast library, which is already installed in MediaWiki and has passed security review, supports generating abstract syntax trees for JavaScript. Perhaps a patch could use that to detect where JavaScript comments are.

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T360995: Migrate Wikimedia production from PHP 8.1 to PHP 8.3.

Any thoughts yet on what version of PHP we should target next? 8.4 or 8.5? Picking this would let us create the next ticket in the series, since this one is close to wrapping up.

Could we keep parsing and disable PST?

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T376790: Split the permission to access Logstash from the cn=wmf and cn=nda groups.

I think applying for logstash access is now done by visiting https://idm.wikimedia.org/permissions/ and filling out a short form. Hope that helps.

There's an official checklist for decommissioning an extension at: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/33/. Might want to compare your list to that one to make sure nothing was forgotten.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. I think I understand the bug you're reporting, but I couldn't reproduce it in localhost with the following steps. If you can help me get these steps correct, I'll write a patch for it:
