We could set up a new glam.wikispore.org wiki on the existing WMCS VPS if that's useful. It shouldn't be too hard to pretty much duplicate the set-up of the existing Wikispore wiki (but perhaps remove most non-WMF extensions, if the aim is to replicate what's possible in production).

The original proposal of course was indeed to have Wikispore itself as the sister project platform hosted on production.

@Pharos Was this discussed somewhere on Meta? i.e. somewhere other than the link you already gave in the ticket and where the Board weighed in or gave any feedback?

Here are some feature requests:

Am I missing something, surely a config variable for WikiProjects would only take a byte or two, and wouldn't have to be updated very often at all?

Is there anything I can work on as a non-tech person, to help move this idea forward? Or are there meaningful subtasks, so that we can perhaps break it up into easier pieces?

Yes, the intention is just to show banners based on categories, and in particular talk page categories, since that is where WikiProjects are based on enwiki and some other Wikipedias.

Also, Google Console is giving a report of "Server error (5xx)".

Apparently the same on every page, this is a screenshot I took from https://wikispore.wmflabs.org/wiki/Category:Geo_Spore

The new site will be a mapping portal for free knowledge content related to the city from Wikipedia/Wikidata/other sister projects, as well as OpenStreetMap and Wikispore.

This is a new issue I guess triggered by some update, it didn't affect us before.

Still getting this as "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 415)".

I am indeed sitting next to @jeremyb right now, and although he has shaved his beard recently, I am happy to confirm that he is indeed the same person.

On further further experimentation, it appears that most of the problem came from using ~~~~~ instead of ~~~~! Using the standard 4 tildes, which we had been avoiding to have a custom signature, the first few words of the subject does now show up in the email message.

OK, on further experimentation, it communicates the subject header to email if it has a character length of 10 or fewer, and only if there is no message body. If there is a message body, it communicates the first 150 characters to email (removing the last 3 with an "..."), and it seems to fail if there are fancy templates involved.

Two MassMessages I sent on May 25 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pharos&oldid=prev&diff=1089767985 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pharos&oldid=prev&diff=1089772397 worked correctly in terms of posting the section header in the email (yes, the latter was the infamous accidental "Bison" stampede). I get the impression that there is perhaps a 10-character limit to section headers. I have not been able to replicate this functionality since, no matter the number of characters, have there been some technical changes recently?

Did some late-night hacking with @jeremyb recently, and was able to confirm that a message with a subject header that is too long for MassMessage fails to show in the email notification, but that the exact same message works for a user manually leaving it. Email notification only works on MassMessage if the header is very short.

I went through my email inbox, it started working (displaying the section header in the email) sometime in the period between 5/12/15 and 6/28/15, and stopped working sometime in the period between 4/27/2016 and 5/21/2016. @Legoktm do you recall what changes you might have made about these times?

Started an etherpad for the Hackathon session today: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/gamejam

It loads briefly as plain text, then we get the blank blue boxes, so this is aparently a rendering issue somewhere.

my mistake, this is a duplicate of T260043 which I vreated earlier

Note https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/reasonator/issues/47/incorporate-wikispore-information and that T231899 is now resolved.

Note that the secondary one, spore: was subsequently removed due to a couple of Wikipedia article conflicts.

Are the icon and the wordmark supposed to be of certain dimensions? Are we looking for something other than literally just taking a horizontal cut of the scissors to the old SVG?

I mean specifically the Greenhouse is in the main namespace, and I kind of like it there, but we don't want the sig button on every main namespace page.

Is there a way to do this just on a specific page or a handful of pages, not on a whole namespace?

Is there a reason why incubator: doesn't work? This is sort of our twin wiki in the movement, so would be helpful to compare Main Pages, etc.

It does appear in a Google search now, but looks a bit clunky:

Is this viable now that T239660 is resolved?

I saw you used subdomains for Wikispore.org

@Zblace Wait, are you asking about a subdomain, or just about a namespace?

Maybe we should add one additional custom interwiki shortcut, to the Wikispore test wiki, presumably test:
