@dancy found a reason $HOME would not be set in the initial puppet run: the Puppet Provider's execution method deletes them

Do you have the full log of the puppet run to see more context?

I like it. Seems like an easy one to add, too.

agree that's better.

I think we should a) reduce env cleanup time for CI envs to just a couple of hours to avoid leaving accumulating dead envs behind and b) increase the timeout for the CI jobs

@thcipriani could you please approve the deployment group request? Thanks

The WIP patch is a neat demo of how this could fit together and a small change (after much documentation reading) it Just Worked™.

Hi @Daimona CampaignEvents is now in the Wikimedia preset.

@EBomani updated the code path that was causing these, so hopefully we don't see any more!

So.. meanwhile Gerrit is available behind the CDN (T365259) which was implemented in T411895 and is using the new tcp-proxy for ssh.

This made it possible to have both https and ssh behind CDN without splitting the host names.

Therefore I suggest this task can be closed (as declined?).

Per some discussion, we're monitoring this to see if it's still a problem. We had a few incidents related to traffic volume recently.

Hi, I am a student taking a Software Engineering course and I would like to work on this issue as part of my learning project. I'm waiting for approval to start working on it."

Sounds like @jeena and @Mooeypoo worked together to get a demo working.

sorry for the delay, approved for the deployment group.

Tentatively assigning for some experimentation for how this could work. There are a lot of possibilities so let's try to winnow the possibilities down.

• One option could be to have alternate pages that users can opt into

Why would different users (as opposed to different wiki creations) need different pages? How would the pages be different? (If I fill in a number in the wiki count box and that causes me to land on a new page, I wouldn’t call that an “opt-in”, that’s just a wizard step.)

@Jaishsingh913 made an initial patch on GitLab, but it wasn't quite working right. Haven't heard back since Nov. 2025 so unassigning this task for now. If you're still around @Jaishsingh913 feel free to claim this.

Thinking about where best to include documentation now. Idea: add to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker#Create_a_patch

In an as-yet-unexplained update: the error we were seeing stopped at 22:42:30-ish

locally, rebuilding the localisation cache fixed issues for me but in prod, idk if that works perfectly.

Per a chat with @dancy :

Hmm. Looks like there's no simple interface to this but one way would be to delete the l10n_cache-en.cdb file.

So we have a way of doing that, is that the right thing to do?

I'm catching up.

To clarify:

@ttaylor confirmed he has credentials for bitergia now.

The https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Patch_demo soft redirect page would be reasonable to replace with content.

Ideas from meeting discussion:

Optimistically closing! We can create a demo with codex and it succeeds! @Catrope please reopen if you're still seeing issues.

Hrm, looks like a heisenbug, let's add some logging inside the announce_deleted_tasks function and get a debug_backtrace.

Flagging for @jnuche when he's back: we should talk as a group about schema versioning and verification tweaks.

Looks like the wiki created. If you see the ############## All done! ################### at the bottom of the log that means the set up is done and the wiki should exist. The main page should update with a link to the wiki shortly after that.

So was the root cause here that external crawlers were causing an overload of our ability to handle traffic, and the root cause was blocking those IPs? Just trying to learn here.

Crawled to death. Added some blocks. Should be back!

Tried this today with a copy of your wiki and it worked fine.

Approved for deployment.

Thanks for the explanation @CDanis !

Thanks so much for this work!
