Novem_Linguae reopened T431060: Extended confirmed age calculation on en-wiki as "Open".

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T321509: EPIC: Provide a system to automatically suspend or remove inactive mentors from the list of mentors.

The current system does one edit by inactive mentor every 3 days. This makes the history of the  MediaWiki:GrowthMentors.json  page a bit unreadable (see frwiki history).
Would it be possible to group these edits into a single edit every 3 days, or to change the system so that it isn't needed to mark a user as inactive if they were already marked inactive 3 days ago?

Novem_Linguae added a project to T434404: Expose $wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces configuration variable to the mw.config: MediaWiki-ResourceLoader.

Adding MediaWiki-ResourceLoader since adding things to the mw.config variables has performance implications, for example increasing the amount of data transmitted on every page load.

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T425761: improve naming of voter eligibility "lists" such as eligibility list, override list, exclude list.

Ah. Good point. Yeah, we probably need to keep the override list then. OK, back to thinking of a better name for it :)

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T425761: improve naming of voter eligibility "lists" such as eligibility list, override list, exclude list.

Thanks for the quick response. One workaround would be to add these folks to the eligibility list instead. Thoughts on that? Or is the idea that the eligibility list gets updated multiple times and you don't want to accidentally overwrite the override list people?

Novem_Linguae updated subscribers of T425761: improve naming of voter eligibility "lists" such as eligibility list, override list, exclude list.

@jrbs and @Cyberpower678 , would we break any of your election workflows if we removed the "Override List" on the voter eligibility page? If not, I like SD0001's idea of removing it.

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T401900: [SPIKE] How has the reviewer workload at English Wikipedia's Articles for Creation process changed over time?.

My plan is, if the NPP backlog gets above 30,000 articles unreviewed ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#NPP_backlog ), I will propose that we let articles unreviewed longer than 6 months fall off the back of the NPP queue (i.e. get marked as patrolled by the software). These tend to be borderline articles that aren't obvious accepts or declines, so take the most reviewer brainpower.

Novem_Linguae added a comment to T401900: [SPIKE] How has the reviewer workload at English Wikipedia's Articles for Creation process changed over time?.

Looks like the number of incoming drafts is holding steady. Also, AFC regularly achieves low or zero drafts needing review during its backlog drives. All of this is great and points towards a healthy, sustainable system.

I don't have enough access to do that, but seems like a good idea. Maybe Product Safety and Integrity can add this ticket to one of their sprints? This is a local election held a month ago that still doesn't have its results, so seems kind of urgent to me. cc @Niharika

@ZhaoFJx, question above for you when you get a minute. STran suggests that you try tallying again (making a brand new tally). Have you tried that yet? What happens?

Also, the Community Tech team no longer exists, so that may not be the correct tag for this.

This was intended to be a task where we plan out those details. None of the acceptance criteria have been met yet (picking a date, marketing it). I would suggest reopening.

If you're thinking about adding strict_types to anything else, I would recommend against it. This ticket caused 6 production errors in SecurePoll. Not sure that's worth whatever benefit strict_types provides.

A bit odd that there have been no edits using the tag. Could be a bug. Maybe ask your favorite interface administrator to make a test edit?

It's a tricky patch to review since it sounds like the bug is not reproducible in localhost. Someone will probably need to confirm the bug in beta cluster, merge the patch, wait for beta cluster to pick it up, then confirm the fix in beta cluster. If the patch doesn't fix the bug, then would probably want to revert it.
