Thank you, this enabled us to use the area plots for population graphs.

I guess to fix this in mediawiki/services/chart-renderer/src/lib/charts/lineChart.ts, one just needs to check the condition isValidNumberColumn( xAxisColumn ) in the function createAreaChart and use createBaseValueChartOption instead of createBaseCategoricalChartOption in that case, similarly to how it's already done in createLineChart. Perhaps with a bit of extra work, but not much.

No, this is an actual bug. The line chart is already an X/Y plot. There is no need to implement this as a new feature. In ECharts, the area chart is just the line chart with slightly different design, and in ECharts an area chart works just fine as an X/Y plot. It must be MediaWiki's input data processing not working correctly for area charts.

We really need this because it often makes sense to start the y-axis from zero. Currently there is no way to enforce this for line or area chart, afaict.

colt_browning added a comment to T336625: Add abusefilter-view/log-private rights for arbcom user group on ruwiki.

I recognize that it might not be obvious from the outside that the current consensus for this task is more like "everyone who even cares would be surprised that this is not yet done". So, here is the discussion, showing overwhelming, unilateral support: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Форум/Правила#Права_флага_арбитра

colt_browning added a comment to T336595: Restrict editing of Vega spec to a small set of users.

If we discuss usage, here are my two pennies. In ruwiki, interactive Lua-based graphs are used in more than 26000 articles about settlements and administrative units through https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Statistical (also, more than 8000 on ukwiki, etc.). The Vega template is already rewritten for Vega 5 and can be extracted easily, but the data is processed dynamically, and it is quite hard to change that (although hopefully possible, in principle). Interactivity is highly desirable.

A few occurrences of <ce> are currently present at various wikis. The existence of this task probably implied turning off <ce> at some point, possibly within T153606, but it didn't happen (yet?).

Nope, same as without "unhide=1".

colt_browning added a comment to T263297: browsearchive allows to see a deleted log entry but not to view its content.

I cannot see blocks on Special:Contributions. I am viewing Special:Log/block. The "show" link goes to Special:RevisionDelete: https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RevisionDelete&target=Special%3ALog%2Fblock&type=logging&ids=33182256 (the actual link has localized names for the namespaces and the RevisionDelete page) So yes, it seems that it is the same as "change visibility" but with different supposed outcome.
If I manually replace RevisionDelete by Undelete in the URL (by the analogy with the URLs for viewing the deleted revisions, see below), I get an even more cryptic error message: "Permission error. You do not have permission to view a page's deleted history, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Administrators, Arbitration committee members." (Note that actually I am an Arbitration committee member.)
