I don't think Moegirlpedia is a random other wiki though. AFAIK it is the most popular MediaWiki instance in China.

Should French be displayed as français instead? As a speaker of a language whose script lacks capitalization system, I'd say seeing text in lists in sentence case feels weird to me.

Looks like the matter of https://www.w3.org/TR/clreq/#mixed_text_composition_in_vertical_writing_mode. Rotating Han characters would look odd. But rotating mathematics in pure western script would be better?

It looks like that both vertical-lr and vertical-rl just rotate mathematics by 90 degrees. So we just rotate the sigma icon by 90 degrees.

ZauberViolino added a comment to T327286: Integrate In-App Internet censorship circumvention by domain fronting.

Recent days, WMF somehow changed their GeoDNS so that requests from China would get a not yet blocked IPv4 address.

I have to mention that on Oct 1 WMF projects were resolved back to the blocked servers in San Francisco (ulsfo) with the IPv4 address 198.35.26.96.

This temporary change of IPs was incidental due to operational failover because of hardware failure. If we tried this as a strategy, we have limited public IPs we own and they'd just block them all over time. We do have long-term aims to mitigate these censorship issues properly, even for the browser users rather than just the app, but those plans take time, and we can't discuss them in public so far ahead of implementation.

Some volunteers (including me) are concerned about the anti-vandalism issue, Is it possible for this kind of system to allocate administrators to confront abuse? Stewards and CUers(? no CUers on zhwiki haha) should have the ability to check if an IP (range) is abused and block it if necessary. Just think about those sensitive data...

Yes, at least consensus must be reached on zhwiki. Also, maybe we need a meta RfC to gather information from Iran and other countries. Plus, auto granting IPBE's may affect how stewards handle GIPBE requests, so it's, in a way, a global issue.
