New subject: Fwd: [Wikitech-l] The Revision Scoring weekly update

17 Mar 2017

Sharing some good news, both about the progress of ORES and (my primary
inspiration for sharing this email) significant improvements in article
quality thanks to WikiProject Women scientists. The latter has been
designated as the Keilana Effect.

Hey folks!

I should really stop calling this a weekly update because it's getting a
bit silly at this point.  :)   But if it were a weekly update, it would
cover the weeks of 42 - 46.

*Highlights:*

   - 3 new models: Finnish Wikipedia (reverted) and Estonian Wikipedia
   (damaging & goodfaith)

   - We estimated and agreed on funding for ORES servers in the next year
   with Operations

   - We published a paper about vandalism detection in Wikidata and a blog
   post about the massive effect of some initiatives on coverage of Women
   Scientists in Wikipedia.

*New development:*

   - We added recall-based threshold metrics to the new draftquality model
   which should help tool devs know what which new page creations to
highlight
   for review[1]

   - We added optional notices for ORES pages which will help us visually
   distinguish our experimental install in WMFlabs from the Prod install (
   ores.wikimedia.org)[2]

   - We added basic language support for Finish (Thanks 4shadoww)[3] and
   deployed a 'reverted' model[4]

   - We lead a discussion in Wikidata about "item quality" that resulted in
   a Wikipedia 1.0 like scale for Wikidata quality[5,6] and designed a
   Wikilabels form to capture the gist of it[7]

   - We enabled the ORES Review Tool on Czech Wikipedia[8]

   - We configured ChangeProp to use our new minified JSON output to save
   bandwidth[9]

   - We extended the Estonian language assets (Thanks Cumbril)[10] and
   deployed the 'damaging' and 'goodfaith' models[11,12]

   - We enabled a testing model for 'goodfaith' on the Beta Cluster to make
   it easier for the Collaboration team to run tests with their new filter
   interface[13]

   - We created a new "precache" endpoint that will allow us to
   de-duplicate configuration with ChangeProp and handle all routing in ORES
   locally[14]

*Resourcing:*

   - We completed a 2 year estimate of ORES resource needs and discussed
   funding (capital expendature) for ORES in the coming fiscal year[15].
This
   will allow us to continue to grow ORES both in number of models and in
   scoring capacity.

*Communications:*

   - Amir improved the KDD paper based on review feedback[16] and got it
   published[17]

   - We published a blob post about our measurements of WikiProject Women
   Scientists[18,19] -- "The Keilana Effect"

   - Thanks to Cumbril's work, the Estonian labeling campaing was
   finished[20]

*Deployments:*

   - In early February, we deployed a new set of translations to Wikilabels
   (specifcally targeting Romanian Wikipedia)[21]

   - In mid-February, we deployed some fixes to ORES documentation and
   response formatting[22]

   - In mid-March, we deployed 3 new scoring models and ORES notices[23]

*Maintenance and robustness:*

   - We fixed a serious issue in the "mwoauth" library that Wikilabels
   depends on[24]

   - We reduced the number of revisions per request that we could receive
   via api.php[25]

   - We investigated a scap issue that broke ORES deployment[26]

   - We fixed a minor issue with JSON minification behavior[27] and
   hard-coding of the location of ORES in the documentation[28]

   - We improved performance of ORES filters on MediaWiki[29]

   - We improved the language describing ORES behavior on
   Special:Contributions[30]

   - We added a notice to the Wikipages that Dexbot maintains about its
   behavior[31]

   - We added notices to ores.wmflabs.org about it's experimental nature[32]

   - We fixed some issues with testing Finnish language assets[33]

   - We fixed some styling issues that resulted from an upgrade of OOJS
   UI[34]
