  1. What form does this model take?
  2. Where is the code?
  3. How can MW code use this model?
  4. Where's the documentation that explains how to retrain the model / deploy it?

@Robertsky We heard back from the property owner who showed us graphs of traffic and traffic levels and said that this was clearly more than what they considered acceptable. Their concern was purely about volume and not about suspicious looking user agent strings.

Ah you're right. It seems to have fixed it for English Wiktionary, but not for French. Try the query "wiktionary" and see what it says for english results. There's a chance the french ones have just not been scraped yet, but I can't see that on search console yet (I don't have access for wiktionary). Let me get access and see when they were last indexed.

For Wiktionary, adding og:site_name seems to have fixed the problem.
We should probably look at this with a pinch of salt because it also works correctly for commons without it.

That bit you're seeing is called the "Site Name", as distinct from the page title. The idea behind it seems to be to tell you what site you're looking at (without needing to look at the URL itself, or relying on the page title to include the name of the site).

No strong opinions either way, but it seems to me that the examples that @pmiazga provides aren't all user types. "admin", "group:something", or "en_wiki:admin" are not really user types. They're memberships or privileges, which can grow and change as needed. Isn't there another way to represent those? I would imagine that a user type is something that's largely permanent, while privileges (through memberships) are expected to change.

Apologies for the ridiculous delay. I have Wikisource search console access now and am looking at it.

Perhaps @Dbrant knows? I remember Jdlrobson mentioning that they did some work together on this.

SCherukuwada updated subscribers of T131136: Make Vector's log-in link in the personal tools more obvious.

Rather than speculate on this one feature in isolation, I recommend letting @ovasileva decide and prioritize based on what else needs doing. She likely to have a more holistic view and more insights from the community.

Just had a conversation with @Catrope . I'm comfortable owning the risk and understand what that entails.

SCherukuwada added a comment to T325607: Google not indexing Wikisource properly for years.

I've mostly focused on search performance and stats for the Wikipedias and haven't had a chance to set up and build an understanding of where we are with Wikisource yet. That's why I don't have an immediate answer for this problem.

SCherukuwada added a comment to T305114: Set up MariaDB for iPoid.

The vendor replied with numbers over the last two days. Here are some numbers that might help decide on a strategy. There is a new dump of IPs every day. Between the last two successive dumps (today and yesterday) there is:

  • 10-12% daily change
  • 1.7M New entries
  • 2M Aged off entries (i.e. dropped/removed)

Are DBA and SRE folks aware that this entire database will essentially be wiped every one or two days and recreated from a dump? Does that complicate things in any way?
