ZauberViolino added a comment to T440435: Incorrect surname conversion: 范揚景 should not be displayed as 範揚景 / 姓氏轉換錯誤:「范揚景」不應顯示為「範揚景」.

I cannot reproduce this issue either using the old parser or the new Parsoid, whether using unconverted, Traditional or Taiwan, either on article or on the corresponding talk page, either on Chinese Wikipedia or Wikidata. What is happening here?

ZauberViolino added a comment to T432820: [APNT] Fullwidth/halfwidth colons.

The core near match implementation already converts input to NFKC, where U+FF1A becomes U+003A. Therefore Wikipedia:首页 or 维基百科:首页 can currently resolve to Wikipedia:首页 with srwhat=nearmatch.

The completion suggester and fulltext search do not appear to work for the U+FF1A cases on surface, because by default they work in the article namespace. Dealing with this case can be tricky, as shown by the book title https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_–_The_Missing_Manual. It might not be appropriate to assume a query starting with 维基百科: is searching either the article namespace or the Wikipedia namespace. It might need to recognize both interpretations, and probably needs some refactoring on the CirrusSearch side.

If this ambiguity is dismissed by assuming 维基百科: to be a legitimate namespace prefix for search purposes, it should be simple to implement.

ZauberViolino added a comment to T428613: Remove Russian aliases for special pages and namespaces in Ukrainian.

The moment I saw the patch that @VadymTS1 uploaded, it seemed a bit strange to me. I don't recall a case where aliases of special pages/namespace pages were removed, because it breaks a lot of internal and external links.
I assume there is also an ideological aspect here (like what T39314#11960491 wrote), and I understand the feelings on the matter, but it sounds strange to me to break such a large number of links.

By the way, this is not a private configuration for Ukrainian Wikipedia, but namespace names for all wikis in the Ukrainian language, including wikis that are not part of the WMF. therefore, a community discussion on ukwiki does not justify approving the change...

I would be happy to hear additional opinions.

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.

Should use -Hans and -Hant in consistant with other Chinese topolects.

Wouldn't -poj and -tl be better?

Does this mean [[MOS:]] would be broken?

The discussion on zhwiki was archived (here) with no consensus. Major oppositions include security issuses of the portal and its users.

Occasion 1 and 2 can be merged — Users currently not using Flow would not have it listed Beta Features. For occasion 3, if I turn it off momentarily, I would fall into the 2nd category and thus cannot have it turned on again.

I checked my friend's App Store and to my surprise the Wikipedia app do exist on China store. F-Droid is not blocked, at least not in my region.

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...

Is the Wikipedia app is available on Apple's App Store? (My iPad region is US so I cannot check it out.) Google Play is blocked. And I don't think the app exists on the app stores Android phone manufacturers provides us with.
