Hello all,

Here is the Discovery weekly update for 2017-10-09. As always, feedback and questions are welcome.

==Highlights== * After active discussions on Spanish Wikipedia, mapframe has been enabled on that site. [0] * * The discussion on English Wikipedia on whether to ask for mapframe to be enabled has been resolved with a consensus of 'yes' to support the use of this functionality on enwiki. [1] * There is an ongoing discussion on English Wikivoyage about the use of mapframe and a draft maps policy has been created. [2] [3] * There is a discussion on Commons about deletion requests, specifically about maps, user-derived work and licensing of that work. [4] * The Search Platform team had a long discussion on how to improve search relevance surveys and A/B tests, highlights from the meeting can be read in and we'll use the information discussed in future tests. [5] [6]

==Discussions==

=== Search === * Gehel finished the investigation into why elastic@codfw alerted during codfw row B switch upgrade, determined it was that a check done on the LVS endpoint ended up being routed to the server that had just recovered network connectivity. [7] * A 'fix' was released last week that actually had un-intended results on the search results page by adding an icon to every autocomplete result in the main dropdown. Thanks, @Jdforrester for the quick fix! [8] * Trey finished up and deployed code to not use Generic language fallbacks in Mediawiki for Elasticsearch language analyzers, once we re-index various small wikis, this code will be in production. [9] [10] * The A/B test running on 18 wikis with > 1% of search traffic has been stopped and is ready for analysis [11] [12]

=== Analysis === * Mikhail finished up the Interleaved Search Results A/B test analysis [13] * Chelsy fixed an issue where the dashboard was counting events, not sessions, for mobile web events [14] [15]

=== Portal === * Continuing conversations on the handling of Chinese languages on the Wikipedia portal with the community [16]

=== Maps === * Paul finalized a few map styling issues: tunnels; implement all osm-bright.tm2 features in brighmed [17] [18] * The regeneration of map tiles in production finished up on Oct 10 [19] * Mapframe has been enabled on Spanish Wikipedia [20]
