Hello Handgod,
We currently do not have the resources to offer the workshop content in
different languages. We are investigating the possibility of taking this up
in future projects. One thing, though, is that we are presently exploring
Google Meet's live captioning feature, and interestingly, it offers
translations in French. As I have not tested this feature myself,
particularly for non-English translations, I am unsure how reliable it is,
something you might want to try out!
Best,
Srishti

Is there some heartbeat monitoring system in the Wikimedia cloud?
I’m running a periodic cronjob (on toolforge/kubernetes) that I’d like to
monitor. Ideally, my cronjob could send a heartbeat to some monitoring
system for each successful run. For example, it would send an HTTP POST
request to monitoring.wmcloud.org/mycronjob or whatever. When no heartbeat
has been received for >3 weeks, I’d like to receive an email alert to some
configured email address. Does Wikimedia operate some heartbeat monitoring
system like this?

Hello all,
It's coming close to the time for annual appointments of community members
to serve on the Code of Conduct committee (CoCC). The Code of Conduct
Committee is a team of five trusted individuals (plus five auxiliary
members) with diverse affiliations responsible for general enforcement of
the Code of conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces. Committee members are
in charge of processing complaints, discussing with the parties affected,
agreeing on resolutions, and following up on their enforcement. For more on
their duties and roles, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Committee.
This is a call for community members interested in volunteering for
appointment to this committee. Volunteers serving in this role should be
experienced Wikimedians or have had experience serving in a similar
position before.
The current committee is doing the selection and will research and discuss
candidates. Six weeks before the beginning of the next Committee term,
meaning 07 May 2022, they will publish their candidate slate (a list of
candidates) on-wiki. The community can provide feedback on these
candidates, via private email to the group choosing the next Committee. The
feedback period will be two weeks. The current Committee will then either
finalize the slate, or update the candidate slate in response to concerns
raised. If the candidate slate changes, there will be another two week
feedback period covering the newly proposed members. After the selections
are finalized, there will be a training period, after which the new
Committee is appointed. The current Committee continues to serve until the
feedback, selection, and training process is complete.
If you are interested in serving on this committee or like to nominate a
candidate, please write an email to techconductcandidates AT wikimedia.org
with details of your experience on the projects, your thoughts on the code
of conduct and the committee and what you hope to bring to the role and
whether you have a preference in being auxiliary or main member of the
committee. The committee consists of five main members plus five auxiliary
members and they will serve for a year; all applications are appreciated
and will be carefully considered. The deadline for applications is *the end
of day on 30 April 2022*.
Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think
may be qualified and interested.
Best,
Martin Urbanec, on behalf of the Code of Conduct Committee
Hello,
(If you don't query revision_actor_temp table, feel free to ignore this
email)
We will remove revision_actor_temp in two weeks, this table was only built
for temporary use inside mediawiki.
Cloud replicas provide a view that you can query the revision table
directly and instead of joining the revision table with
revision_actor_temp, you can simply get the value of rev_actor field.
We have finally backfilled the value of rev_actor in production and that
can be used directly (thus we will remove the view soon).
If you query this table in your tools, reports, etc. You need to change it
ASAP. Hopefully this should make your queries much simpler. Keep in mind a
similar work will happen on revision_comment_temp table in the future.
You can follow the work in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275246

I've been experimenting with adding some checkuser functionality to spi-tools, and scratching my head over why I'm getting permissiondenied errors. I think I finally figured it out. It looks like my OAuth consumer <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:OAuthListConsumers/view/35ecb3674a0…> doesn't have the checkuser right. So, how do I move forward? Can I add the checkuser right to my consumer key, or do I just throw my consumer key away and create a new one with the checkuser right added?
And, just to double-check, I'm assuming that adding the checkuser right to my consumer doesn't actually do anything unless the user who goes through the OAuth flow also has checkuser themselves, right?
Next week (Tuesday, 2022-04-19 15:00 UTC) we will be upgrading the
operating system that hosts the shared Toolsdb servers. This upgrade may
take an hour or more, during which time the databases will not be available.
This outage will be VERY DISRUPTIVE to many toolforge tools, as all
database access will fail during the upgrade. Toolforge users may want
to disable tools before the outage and/or check in to verify proper
recovery after service is restored.
There is likely to be a similar (or longer) outage in subsequent weeks
as we also need to upgrade the database servers themselves. Toolsdb has
grown to an ungainly size and can't be easily handled using standard
rolling upgrade procedures; the WMCS team is in ongoing discussions
about long-term solutions for this issue. In the meantime you can help
us out by engaging in periodic cleanup of your database usage and
dumping or dropping data that's no longer of use.
-Andrew + the WMCS team

Hello everyone,
The third workshop on the topic of "Writing Pywikibot scripts" is coming up
- it will take place on Friday, April 29th at 16:00 UTC. You can find more
details on the workshop and a link to join here: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops#How_to_write_…>
[1].
This workshop will introduce participants to writing basic scripts via the
Pywikibot framework. We will be focusing on examples of scripts that
participants have requested to cover in the workshop (e.g., finding and
replacing content, archiving discussions, etc.). You can add your ideas to
the ongoing discussion in the etherpad doc linked from the workshops page. If
you missed attending the previous two workshops, going through the workshop
materials beforehand would be beneficial.
We look forward to your participation!
Best,
