Sure and Thank you!

Hi @MusikAnimal, thank you for the guidance.
After looking into the PageRepository.php logic, I realized the backend is heavily based on PHP. While I’m comfortable with the SQL logic, PHP isn't my primary stack (I'm focused on Python, JavaScript/React, and SQL).
I want to give this my best effort and deliver high-quality code. Are there subtasks (yet to be created) for this Wikidata epic that involve the Frontend (React/JS) or any Python-based data tooling?
I'd love to contribute where my skills can actually have impact, but I'm also willing to help with the SQL design for the PHP repositories if that's more useful.
Please let me know what you think?

Hi @LGoto, I picked Large on the dashboard. I was just following the GSoC guide's breakdown (350h for Large / 175h for Medium), and @Pfps confirmed that Large fits what we’re planning for the project. I also put '350 hours' on the PDF just to be safe! Link for ref: https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/time-management-for-students
Hi @Pfps,
To confirm, my display name on the GSoC dashboard is Raushan 31. That is the account linked to the 'Large (350 hours)' proposal for this project.
My Phabricator account is RaushanCode (Raushan 31). Sorry for any confusion with the handles. Please let me know if you need any other details to link the two.

Hello @Pfps, I've officially submitted my proposal on the GSoC dashboard! I've set the project size to Large (350 hours) as per your previous comment. I'm looking forward to any feedback you might have. In the meantime, I'll be contributing actively. Thanks again for the guidance

Hello pfps, I am ready to submit my proposal bu the GSoC dashboard lists Medium as 175 hours and Large as 350 hours but this project is specified as 350 hours and medium. I was wondering which to choose.

Hi @MusikAnimal, thanks for the pointers.
I’m currently balancing my GSoC proposal finalization with college midterms this week, but I’ll begin working on the codebase of T420558 right after that.
Thank You.

Hello!
I'm Raushan. I have been an active contributor to the Wikimedia ecosystem with 4 patches already merged on Gerrit. I am very interested in the 'Gamifying Constraint Violation Fixes on Wikidata' project.
I have reviewed the requirements and am currently familiarizing myself with the codebase. I would love to hear your thoughts on the best microtask to tackle to better understand the technical environment and demonstrate my readiness before I draft my initial proposal for this project.

Hello!
I'm an Outreachy applicant and I've been looking into the codebase to prepare for the contribution period.
I have set up my environment and am currently researching the T418286 task. I’m planning to submit my first patch as soon as the contribution period officially opens on March 16th.
Thanks!

Hello!
I noticed spellcheck.py was missing from the current scripts folder, so I followed the link - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/PWBO/browse/master/spellcheck.py - provided in T236642 to find the original code. I have now ported the script to the Core branch, updating the Python2 code to Python 3 standards (including fixes like handeleArgs to handle_args, print " " to print (""), xrange to range, AttributeErrors etc.). Additionally, I implemented the feature requested in T57110 by adding a 'p' ( similar to q for quit) option to ignore a specific word for the rest of the page.
I have uploaded the patch to Gerrit for review: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/1246857
As a newcomer, I’ve made as many changes and corrections as I could based on my current understanding of the codebase. I look forward to your feedback!

Hello!
I was browsing through older tasks, and this one caught my eye. I’d love to give it a try.
If no one is working on this, can I go ahead and start exploring the spellcheck.py logic?

Hello, is anyone still working on this. if not, I'd like to give it a try

I have completed the task of adding a test for background colors in ui_tests.py. This is the link to the patch: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/1242465
Hello,
I am a student developer, I have just started working on this.
I will share the patch details once the test runs successfully.
Thank You.

I have successfully uploaded the patch for tests/djvu_tests.py to Gerrit. The link to the patch is :https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/1241825
Hello, I'm a student interested in contributing to this patch. I've already set up my local environment and started migrating assertRaises to assertRaisesRegex in tests/djvu_tests.py.
I'll be uploading a patch for review shortly.
Thanks.

I have uploaded a patch for this task: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1240077 I replaced the legacy <strong> tags with <span> in Special:Contributions. You can see the clean diff in the attached screenshot. Ready for review!
Hi! I've successfully completed this task.
Summary of changes:
- Modified the PHP logic to wrap the '(username removed)' text in a <span> tag with the class history-user-removed instead of the legacy <strong> tag.
Hi! I’m a student developer currently learning JavaScript and CSS. I’d like to take a look at this task as my first contribution to Wikimedia. I'll start by setting up my environment and checking the current progress. Please let me know if there are any specific docs I should check out first! Thanks!

Hi! I'm a student dev. I'm taking this on as my first task to learn the workflow. I'll be working on a fix tonight
