Hi all,
Does anyone know when we will be upgrading the Clouds replica DBs to
MariaDB 10.2? I am asking mainly because we are on 10.1.33, 10.3 is now
out, and since 10.2 support for CTEs (WITH statements) has been added which
is very handy.
Thanks,
Huji
Hello!
The Wikimedia datacenter team will be performing some routine network
maintenance[1] next Wednesday. This will cause brief, rolling network
interruptions for essentially all tools, services, and virtual servers
-- each physical server will be briefly unplugged as its network cable
is moved to a new switch. Ideally these interruptions will only last a
few seconds and be unnoticeable, but downtime may be longer if there are
unexpected complications.
This process will begin at 14:00 UTC on Wednesday the 24th, which is 7
AM in California. All moves should be completed within an hour.
-Andrew

Hello. I'm a ruwiki user MBH.
I want to ask, how can I get (from Quarry or Toollabs database replica)
a list of users having one of autopromoted groups (i.e. "autoconfirmed",
or "uploader" in ruwiki)? DB table user_groups contains only manually
assigned groups, such as "sysop".
Region migration is going smoothly, and it's time to plan out the next
week of moves. For details about what's happening here, consult the
link below[1].
Here is the schedule for the next week of moves:
Monday, 2018-11-05: discovery-stats, globaleducation, hat-imagescalers,
language
Tuesday, 2018-11-06: matrix, mcr-dev, monitoring, mwfileimport, openocr
Wednesday, 2018-11-07: ores, puppet
Thursday, 2018-11-08: puppet-diffs, recommendation-api, sciencesource,
saerch, sentry
Friday, 2018-11-09: visualeditor, wikicitevis, wikidiff2-wmde-dev,
wikidiff2-wmde-dev, wikidocumentaries, wikilabels, wpx
Please let me know if you are involved in one those projects and need to
postpone the move, or schedule a to-the-minute migration window.

Hi,
This Wednesday – as every week – there will be the Technical Advice IRC
meeting on #wikimedia-tech!
IMPORTANT:
Due to the end of the daylight saving time we have to change the time of
the meeting to *4 pm UTC*!
The Technical Advice IRC Meeting is a weekly support event for volunteer
developers. Every Wednesday, two full-time developers are available to help
you with all your questions about Mediawiki, gadgets, tools and more! This
can be anything from "how to get started" over "who would be the best
contact for X" to specific questions on your project.
If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your
topic to the next meeting:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting
Hope to see you there!
Michi (for the Technical Advice IRC Meeting crew)

Beginning next week, the cloud team will start migrating projects to
Neutron[1] in earnest. I will attempt to reach out individually to
affected project admins as well, but here is the upcoming migration
schedule:
Friday, 2018-10-19: analytics
Monday, 2018-10-22: antiharassment, catgraph, codereview, cvn
Tuesday, 2018-10-23: cyberbot, fastcci, general-k8s
Wednesday, 2018-10-24: huggle, logging, mobile, mwstake
Thursday, 2018-10-25: planet, pluggableauth, privpol-captcha, qna
Friday, 2018-10-26: reading-web-staging, suggestbot, test-twemproxy,
wikibase-registry, wikibrain, wikidata-primary-sources-tool
That seemingly-arbitrary selection of projects is chosen to free up some
hardware space and make room for additional migrations in the future.
Even if you don't see your project name in that list, please keep an eye
on your inbox :)

As you may have been aware, we've been working on changing how MediaWiki
stores comments: instead of having them as fields in each revision
(rev_comment), log entry (log_comment), and so on, we're storing the text
in a central "comment" table and referring to them by ID from other tables
(log_comment_id and so on).
We've been writing to the new fields and tables since the end of February
2018, and have back-populated them for old revisions, log entries, and so
on. Now we're starting to look at stopping the writes to the old fields,
starting soon with testing wikis such as test.wikipedia.org and also with
mediawiki.org. Other wikis will follow, likely in October after the DC
switch-back.
For the most part wiki users shouldn't notice any changes, however if you
notice something not displaying a comment or edit summary for new entries,
on these wikis let me know.
For users of the Data Services replicas, such as Toolforge, the views
currently simulate the old columns for you. However this may change in the
future. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T181650#4581384 for details.
MediaWiki developers should make sure code accessing comment fields makes
use of the CommentStore class that was introduced in MediaWiki 1.30.
You can watch https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166733 (and any subtasks)
for more information on the deployment process.
