Friends,
This is a Scoring Platform technical update for the last couple of weeks of work.
*Deployments* We completed a biweekly deployment today, adding models for quite a few new wikis. Congratulations, and a big thank you to everyone who helped us coordinate and gather the data to accomplish this!
Epic: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170485
*New models*
- Albanian Wikipedia: new models for reverted, damaging, and goodfaith.
- Bengali Wikipedia: new model for reverted.
- Greek Wikipedia: new model for reverted.
- Tamil Wikipedia: new model for reverted.
- Romanian Wikipedia: new models for damaging and goodfaith.
- Turkish Wikipedia: fixes to the article quality model ("wp10") ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170838 )
*Service updates*
- Switched precaching from RCStream (deprecated) to new EventStreams, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166046
- Better error handling for bad API params, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T168920
- Patched a DoS caused by a combination of bad regex and inadequate timeout code. Incident: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/20170623-ORES
Note that Albanian and Romanian Wikipedias will soon support ORES in their Recent Changes feeds. Subscribe to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170723 for updates.
