Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!
I fixed the broken instances of method doclink. There are 7000+ instances of class doclink, so these will be harder to complete. We should think about how to check these programmatically instead of manually.

Hi @Tejinderk.2004, Unfortunately, this task has already been assigned to to @KineticPelagic. (I've updated the task to reflect this.) Since this project is just getting started, it's still too early for community contributions in general, but I'll let you know if there's a task that would be good for you to work on. Thanks for your interest!

Marking as stalled since we want to wait to do this until we have a set of translator-ready strings ready in the codebase, and assigning myself to do this once ready

Hi @Aruotes, Thanks for your interest in helping with this task! Unfortunately, this task (and the other tasks in the v2 columns) is for a new version of the Developer Portal (https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/technical-documentation/developer-portal) that is still being defined and built, so it isn't ready for contributions yet. I'm going to decline your patch for the original Developer Portal site (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/wikimedia/developer-portal) since that design has already been finalized. My apologies! I've updated the project description to hopefully make this more clear. I'll let you know when there's a task for the new project that's ready to work on.

Should we add the use of highlights as navigation?

Decided to move these tasks instead of declining for now. Sorry for the noise!

Hi all, To account for others being on sabbatical, I'll be the contact from the Dev Portal maintainers to help with code review and deployment pairing

I agree that this is worth clarifying in the parameter description since &format=json is so prominent in the sandbox and the request URL. I've updated the task with a suggestion

I looked at the code that generates these lists and didn't see an easy way to fix this issue:
- There's no CSS option to enforce line breaks at commas without first breaking the list of tag names into individual HTML elements.
- Adding an   instead of a space inside tag names would work, but I don't see an easy way to do this, and tag names without spaces (such as app-section-source) would still break across lines.

Thanks for opening this task, @Jidanni! I agree with your points. I think this would make a great first task, so I've added some extra context to the description to help with that.

Thanks for the context, @Mathglot! I've added a strict definition of the username format to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Trust_and_Safety_Product/Temporary_Accounts/For_developers#What's_the_change_from_a_technical_perspective? and updated the description on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Temporary_accounts#How_do_temporary_accounts_work? to match the more correct version on English Wikipedia. I also added a comment to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Temporary_accounts#TA_format with some additional info that may be helpful

Thanks, @Pankhudi_Singh! This looks great. One request: Can you add a code comment to your script linking to the original version by User:Srilasyapragathi so we can properly credit that user's work?

Thanks, @Pankhudi_Singh! This is looking great. One thing I noticed is that it would be possible for someone to inject potentially harmful code into the script by adding a topic to the Wikimedia tutorials page. It would be best to mitigate this risk before sharing the script more widely.

Sounds good, @Sarai-WMF! We'll do our best to get this out ASAP. Would you be willing to open a patch for this? That would be the fastest path forward. In the meantime, I'll think about some copy suggestions.
Thanks for opening this! What is your target date for having this live?

I see that the term "sunset" is used in RFC9745, but I'd like to suggest a more literal term, such as "shutdown" (alternatives: "decommission", "retirement"). The term "sunset" as a verb is business jargon and may not be immediately clear to users.
As @Pppery mentioned above, the original goal of this task has been fulfilled by https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks#Handling_hooks_in_MediaWiki_1.35_and_later, but now that v1.35 is several years old, the page should be reorganized to featured the new hooks system by default. I'd prefer to leave this task open so that work can be done. I'll update the task description

From my perspective, I think it would be fine to not fix this considering the very small impact or to do the one-off SQL query mentioned above
Hi all, @lwatson this task looks great! I love the template you've added and the doc in the example patch. Keeping this information in a CONTRIBUTING.md file in each code repository is definitely a best practice for information about making code contributions. Here are a few suggestions:
Hi @MGChecker, Apologies for the confusion, this task is about whether we should unset this config option just in the WMF config, not whether to remove the config option from MediaWiki entirely. It's likely we'll need this functionality again in the near future.

@Srilasyapragathi are you still planning to work on this, or should we un-assign you?
Thanks for working on this, @Clement_Goubert!
