You should probably work a bit on translations (and on getting them
backported to 1.27): for instance, there are currently only 17
translations for the/a message one receives after entering an incorrect
password.
Hi all,
the Reading Infrastructure team will try to enable AuthManager [1] in
WMF production this week, with the following schedule:
- group0 Tuesday 22:00 UTC (yes, that's pretty much now)
- group1 Wednesday 22:00 UTC
- group2 Thursday 22:00 UTC
I apologize for the very late notice. I realize that such a change
should ideally be fixed long before, advertised via the Tech news etc,
but omitting that seemed like the lesser of two evils. We believe we
need to get AuthManager into the 1.27 release as having to support two
completely different authentication systems in the LTS release would be
an unreasonable burden and risk; to do that, we need to test it in
production in very short order, otherwise the release will be delayed a
lot due to vacations and Wikimania; and we weren't sure until very
recently whether we are able to keep to this schedule.
If all goes well, switching AuthManager on should have very little
visible effect (see earlier announcements [2][3]), but with a change of
this complexity all rarely goes well. If you see authentication-related
problems, please ping or cc Brad Jorsch (IRC: anomie) and me (IRC: tgr).
If we are not around and things break badly, you can revert by setting
wgDisableAuthManager to true in wmf-config.
