This affects all bots running on WMF wikis. The Pywikibot task for this is: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114189 Pywikibot master and 2.0 have been fixed. If you have an existing job running on WMF wikis, the siteinfo cache should allow the bot to continue running for an extra 24 hrs before it falls over. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Legoktm <legoktm.wikipedia(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Sep 30, 2015 at 9:48 AM Subject: [Mediawiki-api-announce] Wikimedia wikis version format changing in 1.27 releases To: mediawiki-api-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi, The format of the version of MediaWiki releases to Wikimedia sites is changing with the 1.27 release cycle. Old format: 1.26wmf24 New format: 1.27.0-wmf.1 This affects the "generator" property of action=query&meta=siteinfo. This is being done to bring the version numbers in compliance with the semantic versioning standard[1]. See the Phabricator ticket for more details[2]. This switch will happen with the 1.27.0-wmf.1 deployment, which started today, and will reach all sites on Thursday, October 1. Frameworks (like Pywikibot) that check the version number for compatibility checking may need to be updated for the new format. Apologies for the late notice.
