(tech engagement offsite follow-up)

@Samwalton9 Would you also be interested in showcasing this project on our New Developers guide? Check the criteria of a featured project here cc @Aklapper

@MichelleACodes @Martyav Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I am going to review your work today and you will hopefully receive feedback in a few hours :-)

@Kerylefondji Thanks for your interest in the project! There are ~20 potential candidates already working on this project's microtask. Also, we are encouraging candidates to start writing a proposal soon. So, it might be ideal that you look into other projects that have received a low response.

@Martyav I've left a comment in your Sandbox here.
@Mumylulu123 You can follow instructions in the link shared by @Aklapper above and create a pull request.
@MichelleACodes Thanks for sending a pull request! Could you share the link to your Sandbox, else it is hard to tell for which examples you are wrote sample code for?

@Martyav Could you please share the link to your Sandbox? @Didicodes Thanks for creating the page, send a pull request for the code changes you've made, and then I will look at both code and document changes all together. :-)

[To recent/future subscribers of this task] As there are a lot of candidates interested in working on this project already and are working on a microtask, I would encourage you to take a look at some of the other featured projects we have for this round (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/3294/) that have received a comparably low response.

@Yoland10 From where did you pick API:Flowthank page to work on? Sorry, I will have to remove that from the table, atleast I am not aware of a page with that name that exists on MediaWiki.org..

[Folks interested in applying to this project via Outreachy ] Very soon, you all will be entering the proposal writing phase (ideally in a week or 10 days from now). Sooner you share your proposals, better it would be. Give your mentors atleast 10 days before the deadline to review your proposal, so that you can incorporate any changes suggested by them well on time. As per guidelines in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Participants, you might know that you are required to submit a proposal on Phabricator in addition to uploading it on the Outreachy website.

@Snehaniranjana Were you able to finish all the steps listed in the microtask you were working on? It looks like one of the requirement was also to "document the steps and what improvements/additions to the current documentation you'd make." You could discuss with your mentor @zeljkofilipin @Etonkovidova where is the best place to document this process.

@Didicodes @Anadolocan @pineappled_sun Glad to see your progress! I've reviewed your work and left comment on your talk pages:

I am done with this https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Didicodes/Sandbox/API:Account_creation please review

@Didicodes Nice! I've left a comment in your Sandbox.

@Anadolocan Nice!

1. I have added the information in the "Other links" section, at "Additional notes" and I was wondering if it would have been better to add it as an example as well.

Yes, others links should be added as an example.

@pineappled_sun Sweet! Answers to your questions:

@VirginiaBalseiro @Didicodes @Itskoda Thanks all for working on the API pages. I've left some suggestions on the talks pages in your Sandbox:

@srishakatux thank you for your reply! One more question: after we're done, should we submit our sandbox to you for review and wait before marking the "done" column?

@VirginiaBalseiro Yes, that's right! 'Done' would be when your changes are integrated into MediaWiki mainspace :-)

Hi Srishti! I'm doing my research here about the assert uses, and I see that in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help there's information about assert but I can't find how I make the link to redirect to the exact point in the page where assert is mentioned, since assert isn't exactly a module, more like a variable. Is there anywhere that I can find a way to do this? Thanks :)

However, I have another question. The first sentence in the API:Account creation page 👉 You can create accounts using the API, seems
ambiguous to me, I feel it does not clearly state the specific type of API in question.

Please I need clarification on this. Thanks

Hi Srishti! I have a few questions regarding this task:

I took the template and filled it out with the information in the existing docs:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:VirginiaBalseiro/Sandbox/API:Emailuser

However in the existing docs there are other sections, don't they get included in the new docs? (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Emailuser, parameters, token, checking emailable status.)

@Didicodes Watch the "How to edit a task already created" video on the following page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Creating_a_task and you will get some idea :-)

@srodlund Sounds good! Feel free to create a microtask around it, I just added one T205199

@VirginiaBalseiro @Sunny_aggie @Itskoda @Sylviamittal Welcome! So glad to hear you all are interested in contributing to this project and considering to apply to Outreachy with Wikimedia, wohooo :-)

We've showcased six projects for this round, they are all listed here: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/wikimedia

@ssastry Yes :) You could upload it to the Outreachy website now and ping me when you are done so that I could approve the request!

@cscott Could you modify the task description to meet the requirements as in this template, also add some microtasks and then upload the project to Outreachy's website? Check step 2 and 3: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors#_Before_the_program. Thanks!

ping @Nicolas_Raoul @Nes @Ujjwalagrawal17 Is there anything remaining in this task from GSoC'18? If not, then please consider marking it as resolved! Ensure no pull requests are remaining to be merged and deployed in production and documentation both on-wiki and in the code is complete. If yes, then you could move the leftovers to a new task.

Just checking, what's the current state here! Taking the example of maybe the automated documentation available for a popular module via Special:ApiHelp:

• Default value and their type are not available for some parameters
• Deprecated parameters are listed, but a brief description goes missing
• Information about when a parameter was introduced in, deprecated or removed in still goes missing.

ping @Ragesoss @Urvaxhi Is there anything remaining in this task from Outreachy Round 16? If not, then please consider marking it as resolved! Ensure no pull requests are remaining to be merged and deployed in production and documentation both on-wiki and in the code is complete. If yes, then you could move the leftovers to a new task.

ping @Andrew @Nehajha You might want to resolve this task and move the leftover items in a new task. If you would like to showcase the project in another round, then add Outreach-Programs-Projects tag to the new task.

The initial goal of this proposal was to implement 'Category' search filter to Recent Changes Filters. However, there was a change in this plan (see T190714#4481748); replaced by the idea of creating and improving tutorials for the OOUI JavaScript library. Learn more here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Past_projects#OOUI_Tutorial_Migration. With that, marking this task as resolved!
