Hi,
we discussed OAuth many times... but - what's the current status?
Do we have working extensions which support using OpenID in order to
login to mediawiki, or OAuth? So that you can login using your google
account or such? I believe that WMF is working on this, so can we have
some update?
I know that english wikipedia community hates facebook and basically
anything new :P but if not wikipedia at least many small wikis could
use it.
Thanks
Hi list,
so I need to set up a local instance of the dewiki- and enwiki-DB with all
revisions.. :-D
I know it's rather a mammoth project so I was wondering if somebody could
give me some pointers?
First of all, I would need to know what kind of hardware I should get. Is
it possible/smart to have it all in two ginormous MySQL-Instance (one for
each of the languages) or will I need to do sharding?
I don't need it to run smoothly. I only need to be able to query the
database (and I know some of these queries can run for days)
I will probably have access to some rather powerful machines here at the
university and I have also quite a few workstation-machines on which I
could theoretically do the sharding.
Thanks in advance
Andreas
PS: If it helps: I'm living in Berlin and I will gladly also just have a
face-to-face meeting with anybody willing to share wisdom :)
I was looking for a way to test my fix to
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64338 and, having spent so much time on
MediaWiki, I thought MW would provide a good way to test the connection
to a MS SQL database.
I was somewhat surprised to see that even though we have a
db/DatabaseMssql.php, we don't have a installer/MssqlInstaller.php.
I imagine this is because when the installer was re-written, no one was
around to implement it for MS SQL. Are SQL Server users just updating
their old MW installations?

Right now, there's two message systems, one in mediawiki.js that
basically just handles dollar-sign replacements, and an increasingly
sophisticated one in jqueryMsg that tries to emulate the server. To
make it more complicated, jqueryMsg monkey-patches mediawiki.js.
What do people think about merging them together, keeping mediawiki.js
as the entry point? mediawiki.js already has the APIs that match the
server. They just don't work anything like the server without jqueryMsg.
The jqueryMsg module could be kept as a redirect module like
mediawiki.action.watch.ajax.
The only real downside is the bandwidth (but increasing numbers of
modules are depending on jqueryMsg already), and potentially (depending
if we keep the "fast path" exception) a small performance cost.
But done right I think it would significantly simplify documentation and
(especially) unit testing.

A short while ago I wrote a set of three PHP unit tests for Math that use test doubles to stub out external dependencies (in this case, the database-backed cache and the texvc executable). My intent was to demonstrate the technique to another developer, so I commented the code extensively. It occurred to me that other people might be interested, too, so I'm sharing it here.
The advantage of such tests is that they typically faster and far less brittle than tests that rely on external resources. They also make test results less noisy: if the test fails, you know that it's because your code was wrong, and not because the database happened to suffer an outage. Finally, they are more portable, because they don't require that you configure external dependencies to make them work.
If you are interested, check out the example, and the relevant chapter in the PHPUnit docs.

Please do join us if you'd like to learn to instrument MediaWiki to log
events, access and clean/test log data, and perform simple log data
analysis.

We're organizing a half-day workshop for engineers, analysts, PMs and
other parties interested in learning how to use EventLogging.
The program can be found at:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EventLogging/Workshop
The first part of the workshop (1.30-3pm PT) will be streamed for remote
attendees via a Google Hangout. Keep an eye on these lists or IRC
(#wikimedia-e3 on freenode) for the hangout invite link (we will share
it around 1pm PT before the workshop starts).
Looking forward to seeing you.

EventLogging [1] is a MediaWiki extension developed by the Wikimedia
Foundation's E3 team that allows the collection of data on how users
interact with our site. It's been largely adopted in
Product/Mobile/Feature engineering to run A/B tests and to evaluate
experimental features but can be used more generally to identify
usability problems and to collect data to inform feature design.
Whether you are already planning to use EventLogging for an existing
project or you are just curious to learn how it works, the session will
cover a typical workflow:
1) turning an idea into a data model
2) instrumenting MediaWiki to log events
3) accessing and QA'ing log data
4) performing simple log data analysis
The workshop [2] will be hosted at the Wikimedia Foundation (Collab
space, 6th floor) on March 7 between 1.30pm-5pm. The whole E3 engineer
line-up will be in the office to provide hands-on demos and tutorials.
If you are interested in attending, please sign up on the workshop page.

Has anyone looked at allowing a user to have global CSS and JS across
all WMF wikis?
I know you can hack it with a mw.loader.load on all the wikis you use,
but it would be useful if CentralAuth had it built in.
Is there a bug for this?
Matt Flaschen
Is there anything else that is holding up enabling wgSecureLogin on WMF
wikis? It'd be spectacular if we could actually enable it and take another
step in the right direction for security. If there's anything on the
software end that needs to be fixed before it can be turned on, I'd be
happy to help resolve it as soon as possible.
