Spamming in mailing lists
by Amir Ladsgroup 14 Dec '13

14 Dec '13

Hello, public mailing lists (even sometimes private ones) are target of non-stop spamming. Some mailing lists decided to discard any mails from non-members (that is not good, LGBT mailing has recently decided this but admins were have to do it because of spams and they don't want this) but some mailing list decided to use moderator (and that causes another problem: I usually receive e-mails with this subject because I'm a moderator in wikifa-l: "Wikifa-l post from xx(a)yy.com requires approval" and the text of the e-mail is the text of that e-mail which is obviously spam, so gmail usually consider this mail as spam and after a while It consider wikifa-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org as spammer and that's bad sometimes that become worse and gmail consider the whole lists.wikimedia.org as spammer) and honestly I'm frustrated of discarding spams We really need to define a method to filter spams. specially a central place to kill every e-mail that has been sent to more than three mailing list or so many other methods. there are several methods [1] Another thing: GNU mailman has introduced a spam-filtering system, but I think we haven't updated to that version and our version is 2.1.13 which is released in 2009-12-22 [2] and last stable version of GNU mailman has been released in 23-Nov-2013 [3]. Is there any reason for not updating?

[Bug 57891] Review and deploy GlobalCssJs extension
by legoktm 14 Dec '13

14 Dec '13

On Fri, Dec 13, 2013 at 2:04 PM, Bartosz Dziewoński <matma.rex(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > It's sorta kinda happening as we speak while no one is looking ;) > > https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57891 > > -- > Matma Rex Looks like the cat got out of the bag. The GlobalCssJs extension allows users to add custom JS or CSS for themselves on all wikis where they have an account. It's basically the equivalent of common.js, but on a global scale. It has been a requested feature since 2008[1]. For those not familiar with the history of global js/css, there currently is a bot run by a steward[2] which creates common.js pages importing the user's global.js upon request. This is mainly used by users in the SWMT[3] to do things like enable global Twinkle[4]. While this method works, it doesn't take advantage of ResourceLoader. The extension will load User:$username/global.js and User:$username/global.css using ResourceLoader. It also includes MediaWiki:Global.js/css as the global equivalents of MediaWiki:Common.js/css. The bulk of the code is still awaiting review in gerrit[5].

Sherah Smith joins Wikimedia as Fundraising Engineer in Features
by Terry Chay 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hello everyone, It’s with great pleasure that I’m announcing that Sherah Smith[1] has joined the Wikimedia Foundation as Fundraising Engineer in Features. Before joining us, Sherah was a full stack software engineer at Hackbright Academy[2] helping write a lot of their curriculum development and engineering fellowship software. She also did a brief stint as a front-end developer at yerdle.com on some of their campaigns. She was a referral through Ryan Kaldari, and managed some time during small amounts of her super busy schedule at Hackbright to talk to the FR-tech team and see how truly awesome they are. Long ago (2010), she received her B.S. in computer science at Evergreen State College. Sherah will be working in Fundraising Tech as a front-end engineer. So expect some amazingly cool visualization stuff coming from the annual fundraiser, followed by super less annoying payment processing pages, and such. She also will bug you about opportunities to learn more stuff here. When she isn’t making Fundraising awesome, she can be found writing and performing comedy in various forms, reading excruciatingly depressing novels, and hiking all around the Bay Area. She is also perpetually hacking on things, especially ridiculous apps and games in MeteorJS. Her spirit animal is the pizzacat. Oh, by the way, don’t be an idiot like me and pronounce her name correctly—it’s not sher-a, but she-ra, “just like the princess of power.”[5] As you have guessed from my usual tardiness, her first official day was Monday, December 9. I know you’re thinking, “Only a few days late? What is going on Terry?” Well there is a running pool that Erik has a little spreadsheet in his computer brain of his to pester us Directors to actually announce the staff we hire and I finally figured it’s useless to procrastinate in order to fight the Man. Please join me in a belated welcome of Sherah Smith to the Wikimedia Foundation. :-) Take care, Terry [1]: http://sherahsmith.com/ [2]: http://www.hackbrightacademy.com/ [3]: https://yerdle.com/ [4]: http://sherahsmith.tumblr.com/ [5]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She-Ra terry chay 최태리 Director of Features Engineering Wikimedia Foundation “Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Hook for Adding to Empty Search Results
by Paul Dugas 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

I have an extension using the ArticleFromTitle hook to generate pages for components of a large system we operate. There are approximately 6000 components at the moment with static inventory and config data in a database and live status data in a number of other systems. We are using MediaWiki as a historical maintenance knowledge-base for the staff. With this extension, we can integrate all the data for each device in one place. We can hit MyNS:DeviceName and get a page that describes a device and that page can link to other pages in the main namespace that techs create with vendor details, model info, manuals, etc. We can even keep a talk page for each device. Very handy. Trouble now is I want to be able to find devices using the search feature. SpecialSearchResults looked promising but that only gets called when there is at least one match in "normal" pages. So, I looked at SpecialSearchNoResults but that doesn't allow me to add to the empty results. Doesn't anyone have a suggestion on how I could go about this? I really want to avoid generating the text of pages externally periodically and loading them into the wiki using the importTextFile maintenance script. The only other thought I had was to extend the SearchMySQL class and change $wgSearchType but I'm hoping to avoid that. Any ideas? --Paul
