Re: [WikimediaMobile] [Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia Zero in Google search result
by Adam Baso 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Hello All, We had shelved my patch, patch 64629 <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/64629>, in hopes that an earlier patch, patch 61809<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/61809>(bug 35233 <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35233>), would resolve the issue naturally as Google re-indexed. But it appears Google has re-indexed and yet the .zero.wikipedia.org URLs are still present in Google's index, instead of the <language>.wikipedia.org URLs. I have thus resubmitted patch 64629 <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/64629> for re-review. We will need to further discuss whether it is appropriate to have Google completely remove .zero.wikipedia.org links from their cache, or if perhaps we need to open a support thread with Google about canonical URLs.

Zero showing up in search results?
by Maarten Dammers 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Hi guys, Today I noticed that a page on zero (http://nl.zero.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Deely) showed up in Google search results. I took a look at http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139066 and the page does include <link href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Deely" rel="canonical" />. Any idea what's going wrong here? Maarten

Videos on mobile
by Max Semenik 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Hi, when mobile WP was in its childhood, it was decided that we're not ready to display videos on our pages, so they were stripped. And stripped very crudely, by removing just #ogg_player_1 and #ogg_player_2 so that only first two videos on a page were removed. What are your opinions - shoudld we continue doing this? -- Best regards, Max Semenik ([[User:MaxSem]])

Enabling nearby on commons
by Jon Robson 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

I had a really cool idea of something to do today but realised that Commons has no geodata. How can we change this? (I'd expect to be able to see nearby photos on http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Nearby)

Re: [WikimediaMobile] [Wikitech-l] Fwd: Number crunching: Upload errors on mobile
by Jon Robson 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Update on error numbers: 111 errors since we pushed the fix on Tuesday 2pm to avoid anonymous token problems. Things are looking much better and come under 3 types of error Here is the new breakdown 1) Errors due to bad filenames / bad filetypes Missing filename: Bad filename 67 > This is now the biggest cause of errors. I suggest we log the file names users are trying to upload with to identify what is going wrong. A bug is open https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49544 There are various other errors which are probably not worth our time as they suggest vandal edits: This file did not pass file verification 4 Unknown error: "titleblacklist-forbidden-edit" 5 Unknown error: "titleblacklist-custom-filename" 1 Missing filename: Filename exists 1 Missing filename: Duplicate archive 1 Filetype not permitted: MOV 1 > The file type not permitted errors could be solved by checking the image in preview mode correctly loaded and whether it has a width that isn't 0. 2) Errors due to tokens Bad token name. 15 > These have all occurred on en.m.wikipedia.org, ru.m.wikipedia.org and meta.m.wikimedia.org > 5 of them were on the uploads page Investigating with Chris it seems this can happen when a user has logged in on mobile, left the page for some time and thus their login has expired. Requesting a central auth token without being logged in will cause this error. We should explore checking login status before starting the upload workflow and redirect the user to the login page. Invalid token 5 > We are caching tokens that have since expired. We should explore invalidating tokens. 3) Other errors These bugs are all pretty mysterious and it's not clear what causes them * The modification you tried to make was aborted by an extension hook 7 * error: 3 > Note This occurs when an error happens but the error is missing an 'info' property. e.g. the response is: { error: {} } An internal error occurred 1 On Sat, Jun 8, 2013 at 3:49 PM, Max Semenik <maxsem.wiki(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On 08.06.2013, 21:07 Brian wrote: > > >> I suspect that is caused by UploadBlacklist extension, which >> blacklists about 23 files by their sha hash.

Ensuring a new skin is mobile friendly
by Nick White 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

Hi list, I recently helped shepherd a new skin into Mediawiki; https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Erudite I would like to think it is perfect in every way, but one area it hasn't had any love is making sure it works well on mobile devices. To the best of my knowledge it shouldn't do anything particularly heinous, but I don't have any such devices to test it on. If anybody has a few minutes and could have a play, and see if anything could be improved, please do and let me know on list. A live example of it is at https://www.dur.ac.uk/nick.white/erudite-demo/mediawiki-current/ which should have full editing etc rights enabled. It's a dummy wiki, so add whatever you like. Thanks in advance! Nick White
