This is another test of a forwarded message sent to a Mirror Mailing List category type. "always show trimmed content" is enabled. The message being forwarded is https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2019-January/002… ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Johan Jönsson <jjonsson(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 9:40 PM Subject: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Tech News (2019, week 04) To: Wikitech Ambassadors <wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi, The latest technical newsletter is now available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/04>. Below is the English version. You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you can add it to the next newsletter at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next>. More information on how to contribute is available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute>. You can also contact me directly. As always, feedback (on- or off-list) is appreciated and encouraged. ——————————————————————————— Other languages: Deutsch • ‎English • ‎dansk • ‎français • ‎polski • ‎português do Brasil • ‎suomi • ‎svenska • ‎čeština • ‎русский • ‎українська • ‎עברית • ‎العربية • ‎মেইতেই লোন্ • ‎中文 • ‎日本語 • ‎粵語 Latest *tech news <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News>* from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/04> are available. *Tech News* - Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/MassMessage>. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/03>. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213942> *Recent changes* - The content translation tool <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Content_translation> can now use version 2 <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Content_translation/V2> as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Beta_Features>. For example it adds the tracking category Pages with unreviewed translations to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category in Special:TrackingCategories on Wikipedias. - https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:PDF>, EPUB <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:EPUB> or ODT <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:OpenDocument>. Previously this was 200 pages. *Problems* - When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213922> - MassMessage <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/MassMessage> is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [3] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213942>[4] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T139380> - Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [5] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213858> *Changes later this week* - You will be able to use template styles <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateStyles> in the Module namespace. [6] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T200914> - [image: Recurrent item] The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.33/wmf.14> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.33/Roadmap>). *Meetings* - [image: Recurrent item] [image: Advanced item] You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 23 January at 16:00 (UTC) <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190123T16>.

It definitely seems that the dashes next to "Forwarded message" are the cause of the forwarded being trimmed. It seems that it is being interpreted as the beginning of the conversation.

Fwd: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Coming soon to all wikis: beta feature FileExporter
by Quim Gil 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Now Discourse has been upgraded. Let's see whether forwarded emails are now magically displayed.... ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Johanna Strodt <johanna.strodt(a)wikimedia.de> Date: Mon, Jan 14, 2019 at 1:04 PM Subject: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Coming soon to all wikis: beta feature FileExporter To: <wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org> // sorry for cross-posting The FileExporter will soon be released as a beta feature to all wikis. The planned deployment date is January 16. Some background: Files from local wikis should be transferred to Wikimedia Commons if their license allows it. This way, they can be used by all wikis. But if you wanted to import a local file to Commons in the past, you couldn’t properly transfer its file and page history. It was a wish from a survey of the German-speaking communities to find a solution to this problem. Now, the FileExporter makes it possible to import a file from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, while keeping its history intact. A first version has already been a beta feature on a few first wikis since June 2018. [1] Since then, bugs were fixed and features were added. If you’re interested in importing local files, please give the feature a try. Even though it’s a beta feature, you can use it for real file imports. Please note that in order to get started, you need to 1. activate the beta feature “FileExporter” on your wiki [2], and 2. make sure your wiki has a proper configuration file. Configuration files are maintained by each wiki's community. They define, among other things, whether a file can be exported. Exports from wikis without a configuration file are blocked. Find more more information in the documentation. [3] We’re looking forward to your feedback on the central feedback page! [4] A big thanks to everyone who gave feedback so far. If you wish to learn more about the project, have a look at the page of the wish.

Fwd: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Read-only period tomorrow (or very late today)

Trying forwarding a different email. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Johan Jönsson <jjonsson(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 3:52 PM Subject: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Read-only period tomorrow (or very late today) To: Wikitech Ambassadors <wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hey everyone, Terribly sorry about the short notice – this is not a planned thing, it's an emergency fix. Most wikis (but not the biggest ones) will be read-only for up to 30 minutes at 07:00 UTC AM tomorrow, 17 January. Depending on your time zone, that might be late 16 January. It'll probably be shorter than 30 minutes. There's a Phab task here with more information and a list of affected wikis: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213858 That list is very long, so to make it easier, I've put a list of wikis that are *not* affected here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Johan_(WMF)/201901ReadOnlyPage Please help spread this in your community, if it's affected. //Johan Jönsson -- _______________________________________________ Wikitech-ambassadors mailing list Wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors -- Quim Gil Senior Manager of Community Relations @ Wikimedia Foundation https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Qgil-WMF
