I'd recommend to go on IRC and ask in #wikimedia-tech and/or #mediawiki-dev if someone has an idea and could take a look at this issue.
Maybe someone will also stumble upon this ticket itself, but Wikimedia-General-or-Unknown is a quite broad project tag.

@Jopparn: I'm boldly resetting status per last comment, as tasks should not stay stalled for too long.
Feel free to set to stalled again; this is more to make sure that valid tasks don't get ignored for too long (or that tasks get resolved/declined if applicable). Thanks! :)

Two years without updates later: Can anyone still reproduce this problem in 1.35 or current master?
If yes, then please provide clear steps to reproduce.
Otherwise this task will get closed (as it shouldn't become a catch-all for any FOUC issues).

I'm going to boldly decline this stalled task: Four people expressed that they don't support this proposal, plus tasks shouldn't be stalled forever.
If there were sudden new arguments / analyses (and/or community discussions), this could potentially be reopened (or a new task could be created).

Boldly resetting status per last comment with open questions...

Unfortunately closing this Phabricator task as no further information has been provided in the last 3.5 years.

More simplified, ignoring <inputbox>:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?action=edit&prefix=User:Malyacko%2FSandbox&title= works.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&prefix=User:Malyacko%2FSandbox&title= does not work; it redirects to Main_Page.

Is there already any link to more info for the project tag description To track review progress of #documentation tasks? Or should that be added later?

Hi, please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects#Creating_new_projects and provide required info - thanks!

@Superpes15: Hi, for future reference, please follow https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes when requesting such kinds of changes. Thanks a lot!

Can someone provide a clear list of steps (step by step, click by click, as a list) how others can test this functionality? See my previous comment. Thanks.

Hi @Kaleem_Bhatti, thanks for the reply. I still have no idea what exactly is wrong, and what exactly you expect to be shown instead.

• Please provide the text (as text, here!) that is wrong.
• Please provide the text (as text, here!) that you want to see instead.

Please always follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug - Thanks a lot! :)

Ah, I think I understand the problem. This seems to be meta specific (cannot reproduce on mw.org with the same account permissions).

Hi, could you please include a full list of steps that someone would have to perform to reproduce this situation (including links that other people could use), what is expected to happen, and what happens instead (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug )? Thanks! :)

@dancy: Assuming this task is about the maintenance scripts in MediaWiki core, hence adding that project tag so other people who don't know or don't care about team tags can also find this task when searching via projects. Please set appropriate project tags when possible. Thanks!

Hi @MrJaroslavik, thanks for reporting this. This does not sound like something is wrong in the code base (a so-called "software bug"), but instead like a support question (how to change settings, questions how to do something, etc.).
As Wikimedia Phabricator is for bug reports and enhancement requests, please ask on the MediaWiki Support Desk. Thanks for your understanding!

Please use the form for such requests; I'm adding it to the task description.

Hi @Bachounda! Thanks for taking the time to report this! Please follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and provide:

• a clear and complete list of exact steps to reproduce the situation, step by step, so that nobody needs to guess or interpret how you performed each step,
• what happens after performing these steps to reproduce,
• what exactly you expected to happen instead,
• a full link to a web address where the issue can be seen,
• and create separate tasks for separate problems.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NCDN_-_CDN.png is the closest I could find (but a bit boring I guess)

Fixed in librsvg 2.50.2 via https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/-/commit/327088cbc22018bfa479b3a0282eb244e7804da4

Anyone who can reproduce this problem please open a tab in your browser, open the network tab of your browser's developer tools, go to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=User:Tigerfell/Sandbox&oldid=2054479&debug=true (note the debug=true), and check for errors. Thanks.

I do not see any "unnecessary gaps" anywhere. If you print a ton of Wikipedia articles then I'd hope that printers sort pages instead of putting them out randomly.
If you are specifically asking for page numbers, then please follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug and file a feature request to include page numbers (as that's way more specific than "Something changed", which is quite normal in software development).

I myself do not know, sorry. :)

Hi @Emdosis, which problems do the current PDFs create? I'd say that not printing headers and footers is an improvement. Maybe the font change is also an improvement. I'm interested in use cases - why were those headers and footers useful for you? Why is the font important to you? Again, please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug - thanks a lot! :)

Hi @Emdosis, thanks for taking the time to report this!

Hi, feel free to file a project tag request - see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects#Creating_new_projects . Thanks!

Thanks for solving this mystery! :) Resetting task status.

Hi @CoolieCoolster, thanks for taking the time to report this! Which exact MediaWiki version, extension revision/branch, web browser version and operating system version is this about? Also see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug - thanks! :)

I think we sneaked this in at the end of the meeting that we had on November 18th, 2020 when it comes to code health monitoring aspects.

Hi @nclm, thanks for taking the time to report this and welcome to Wikimedia Phabricator!

It looks like nobody triages MediaViewer tickets and has all "tracking" tasks in mind.
So this "tracking" task lacks newer tasks (e.g. T236591) which should be subtasks.

2020-11-23: (Second and last) Emails sent to remaining 132 task assignees about 323 open tasks left (duplicate items removed).
Before mass-unassigning around Dec 18.

• Transcluded into https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker&type=revision&diff=4246845&oldid=4220364
  • Then removed <translate> markup again from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers/Communication_tips as that showed when transcluding that page. (Have I mentioned that I am not a fan of the Translate extension?)
• Transcluded into https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=New_Developers&type=revision&diff=4246848&oldid=4209780
• Transcluded into https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Outreach_programs/Zulip&type=revision&diff=4246866&oldid=4246768

• I created https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers/Communication_tips (and I'm too stupid to fully understand how to properly set it up for translation.)
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vwt53jgpss4iujsf says it's not easy to 'transfer' translations, thus I did not take over translations. :(

Thanks for the explanation. If one person is supposed to act on this ticket and is not blocked on another specific task or some upstream project, then I'm going to boldly set as task assignee and reset task status. (Feel free to reassign after taking action here.)

Hi @Shubham656jain: Thanks for the quick reply! Does that mean this task is complete and should be closed? If yes then please feel free to do so.
If you think that this task is not complete and you don't plan to further work on this task, it would be good to reset the assignee.

@Trizek-WMF: Hmm, stalled means "If a report is waiting for further input (e.g. from its reporter or a third party) and can currently not be acted on". So this task should be updated to cover the "changed plans" but not be stalled, I'd say. (Or it should be declined if it does not make sense anymore.)

if your extension has a page on mediawiki.org and is actively maintained, it gets indexed.

I'd say quite some of those thousands of pages are outdated, and there is no good criteria or even update process for extension release status.

I thought this had been moved to the service pipeline now?

https://intense.wmflabs.org/ says "No proxy is configured for this host name."
Where is this located?

(I'm also proposing to decline this task in its current scope: "Help pages for all the input methods" sounds like an everchanging scope.)

See other, existing pages under https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Input_methods - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Input_methods/as-avro would really benefit from being a table and follow the scheme of other pages.

Eh, thanks a lot for elaborating! (My previous action wasn't a reply to previous actions; I was more after looking at some older tickets stalled for years).
Meh, sounds like somewhere between lowest priority and declined status then, but let's see. :-/

AV1 exists, hence resetting task status.

The previous comments don't explain who or what (task?) exactly this task is stalled on ("If a report is waiting for further input (e.g. from its reporter or a third party) and can currently not be acted on"). Hence resetting task status, as tasks should not be stalled for unclear reasons.

@Platinops: Thanks for taking a look at the code!

Hi @WikiBook10, thanks for taking the time to report this and welcome to Wikimedia Phabricator!
This looks unrelated to importbots.
Unfortunately this Wikimedia Phabricator task lacks some information. Please add a more complete description to this task. That should be

• a clear and complete list of exact steps to reproduce the situation, step by step, so that nobody needs to guess or interpret how you performed each step,
• what happens after performing these steps to reproduce,
• what you expected to happen instead,
• a full link to a web address where the issue can be seen.

Problems that others can reproduce can get fixed faster. Thanks again!
