Upgrade to MariaDB 10.2
by Huji Lee 02 Jun '19

02 Jun '19

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

I am happy to announce that Addshore and Legoktm have been granted admin (root) level privileges in the Toolforge project. Both are long time users of Toolforge and prolific contributors to Wikimedia's technical spaces. One of the projects they are hoping to help us with is bringing newer versions of PHP to the Toolforge Kubernetes cluster [0].

[Mediawiki-api-announce] BREAKING CHANGE: Some missing parameter error codes are changing
by Brad Jorsch (Anomie) 25 Jul '18

25 Jul '18

It was noticed[1] that the error messages for "missing parameter" errors were not including the module prefix, for example a query to action=query&list=search could complain that the "search" parameter must be set when the actual parameter name is "srsearch". This extends to the error code, which in this example is "nosearch" rather than "nosrsearch". This is now fixed, and should be deployed to Wikimedia sites with MediaWiki 1.32.0-wmf.15 and later. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.32/Roadmap for a schedule. If your client is checking for specific missing parameter error codes, it may need to be updated for the changed codes.

Reverting phabricator vandalism?
by Roy Smith 05 Jul '18

05 Jul '18

A rogue user <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Vvjjkkii/> vandalized a bunch of tasks in phabricator, including several that I opened. I see that account has now been disabled, but is there some easy way to revert the damage they did to my tasks? Or do I need to laboriously edit each task and fix each field by hand?
