Strainu added a comment to T330893: Map Romanian s&t with comma to cedilla internally.

@TJones one more question regarding this change: will it affect the results on Romanian wikis? I know the search is diacritics-insesitive, but I wonder if cedilla redirects will be favored in relation to the redirect targets, which are using comma diacritics.

@TJones is there something the Romanian community can help with? What would it take to accelerate the changes upstream?

Strainu closed T169453: Request Latin-Cyrillic converter for Romanian wikis since there exist Romanian speakers using Cyrillic letters as Declined.

This is a site request that cannot be approved without clear consensus obtained on the Romanian wikis first, and not on meta or here. I suggest you open a discussion on the Romanian Wikipedia and invite participation from the rest of the projects if you are really serious about pushing this.

Strainu added a comment to T326864: Support alphabet of the Tatars of Romania .

Hello,
I don't know, they use the Ǧ ǧ and Ș ș letters as Ğ ğ and Ş ş often, it can be that you are right. The alphabet is actually shown in the book named "Alfabe" from UDTTMR. When you like, you can try to contact with UDTTMR, to ask which Orthography is official.

Here is the alphabet shown: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1795600770673670&set=ma-_-_-me-_-_-%C5%9Fa-_-_-ta-_-_-qirimtatartiliuyrenemiztatarlar-tatars-%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%80-tata

Strainu added a comment to T325473: Add support for Extension:PageViewInfo.

Let's clarify the terminology and separate the concerns here:

  • I suggested that, based on the usecase, pageview data might be better retrieved from the Wikimedia.org REST API ( https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/#/ ) which is different from the REST API on the other sites (see here). As usual, extensions can add their own endpoints (see for instance /pages/talk at https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/ which is missing from MediaWiki Confusing, I know.
  • Pageviews are only part of the Wikimedia API, so it is not exposed through the PageViewInfo extension. From a design point of view, they're totally separated and could potentially return different data at least occasionally (although I suppose they share a common data source)

Hi folks, is this task being actively worked on or planned for the near future? If not, maybe we should remove links to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide/Citations-Full until it can be translated? We're sending people from wikis to these help pages (e.g. https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide/ro ) and we would much rather have them localized.

Strainu added a comment to T301908: Drop support for Python 3.5.

I continue to believe we need to support a version at least a year after Cloud Services have moved away from it, as described in https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/pywikibot@lists.wikimedia.org/message/BSTDB6JYJ74DE3BTNWND4BAROLIXJTW5/

That would mean mid-2023 if I understood correctly the latest news about the Debian upgrades.

If I follow this your proposal:

  1. two years after official support has ended (e.g. 7 years after launch) AND
  2. one year after Toolforge moved to a newer Python version. AND
  3. the percentage of users of a version goes under 5%
  1. The official support has ended Sept. 2020; two additional years will be Sept 2022. Dropping Python 3.5 is not planed for an earlier date.
  2. Toolforge migration has already started.
  3. The percentage of users is already below 0,3 % except for Toolforge but this will decrease rapidly if the Python base is changed.

I don't want to fight for a few weeks or months. Release Pywikibot 7 was also postponed for few months. But I want to promote a change as early as even possible but this is also a long term process so that it can be planned.

It's not immediately obvious to me why 1 is a problem if 2 isn't - they seem linked. What does "enough phrases" mean exactly? Intuitively, I would say that 2 or 3 links per article should be enough for the user to practice. You could then potentially reuse the same article such as this one for other users.

As a mentor, I would recommend that you first try 3, as the number of links added per article seems a bit high at the moment, so removing some of them wouldn't be damaging. The patch should be applied as the second option, but only together with a documentation update to make the issues crystal clear. For now, we're far from that.

Strainu added a comment to T294463: Leaving VE for another page doesn't trigger the exit confirmation.

@matmarex identified that there might be two issues at play here:

  1. The warnings that people see when attempting to leave a page without saving the changes they've made are inconsistent (this is the issue this ticket was created for)
  2. VE is showing exit warnings regardless of the state of the Warn me when I leave an edit page with unsaved changes setting within Special:Preferences.

Thank you for your suggestions @Xqt and @matej_suchanek . Unfortunately I am still reproducing the issue after deleting all __pycache__ and apicache-py3 folders, using the simplified example (see below) and commits 28e31f98dcc2b152fde16385172a49f721394ed3 and 758de7a513c061c1741d77b8a684d24bba2c5fd0 .

OK, so I digged a bit, it seems when leaving the article (options 2,4,5 in the description) there is an option controlling the warning which in my case was not global. When exiting to the article itself, the VE warning is shown regardless of that setting. I believe the correct behavior is to always display the same confirmation window, which should be controlled by the user option. I updated the description accordingly.

On en.wp I also see the confirmation as in your screenshot, but I find it strange that you have the VE confirmation when exiting to the article (just like on ro.wp) and what looks like a browser confirmation for the rest - it still looks like these are separate code paths and it's unclear to me why.

Yep, also reproducible on ro.wp in safe mode (signed-in) and on Microsoft Edge (while signed-out).

I agree, it would have been preferable if the change in semantics came through a rename of parameters instead.

If this was fixed on 2021-10-12, why hasn't it reached the wikis yet? Do you have a slower deployment pace than the rest of the code?

Strainu added a comment to T291018: Temporarily disable article editing by anonymous users on fawiki.

I'll go even further than @Kudpung : most (8 out of 10) of these solutions are patches to the existing system, which the other side considers broken. What these people want is not to get and/or do work more effectively, by being able to patrol on mobile or receive echo notifications, but for the bad edits to *dissappear* from their watchlist so they have less patrolling work and implicitly more time for other activities on-wiki. Here is one of the feedbacks from pt.wp which resonates particularly well with what I am told when I try to calm down overzealous patrollers on ro.wp:

Since this is a visual issue it makes sense not to be a blocker, but a tech notice message would have been appreciated.

Has this been discussed on wiki? Last I remember,tthere was *some* community around that project.

Hey folks, the leftovers from this bug just hit some wikis really hard (see T288846 and duplicates). Would it be possible to get it some love, at least to the point where no math tags are inserted?
