Subject: [Wikitech-l] Change tag reading from the new column in the beta
cluster
To: Wikimedia developers <Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello,
As part of normalizing change tag schema [1] I just switched on reading
from the new column (ct_tag_id in change_tag table, a foreign key to ctd_id
from change_tag_def table) in beta cluster [2] which means new rows will
have empty string as their value of ct_tag. [3]
We are not rushing to flip the switch in production but I just wanted to
send this email asking people who test in beta cluster to file a
phabricator ticket if they see anything unexpected in there that might be
related change tags. This table is being read if someone checks history,
recent changes, watchlist, user contributions, or whole lot of other
special pages plus lots of API queries. I checked anything I could think of
but I might have missed something. Any extra pair of eyes would be
extremely appreciated.

Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your efforts. We are managing to host next november a Wikidata query service advanced training for computer scientists from University of Sfax, Tunisia. The purpose of this training is to allow these scientists to have advanced skills to develop SPARQL queries that can be later used in web applications of Wikidata for various purposes particularly medical ones. To do this training, we need funding and that is why we did a rapid grant application. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Csisc/SPARQL:_Be_conne…. We invite you to endorse it so that the advanced training can be done.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
