Hi,
I noticed some pages we crawled containing error message like this;
<div id="mw-content-text" lang="zh-CN" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"><p
class="error">Failed to render property P373:
Wikibase\LanguageWithConversion::factory: given languages do not have the
same parent language</p>
But when I open the url in browser, there is no such message. And using
index.php can also get normal content without error messages.
Here are examples you can retry:
bad
$ wget 'http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/Google'
good
$ wget 'http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Google'
Looks like something is wrong on Wikipedia side, anything need to fix?
Thanks

[Apologies for X-posting]
We are pleased to announce the release of the Java-based Wiktionary
Library (JWKTL) 1.0.0 - an application programming interface for Wiktionary.
Project homepage: http://code.google.com/p/jwktl/
== Overview ==
JWKTL (Java-based Wiktionary Library) is an application programming
interface for the free multilingual online dictionary Wiktionary
(http://www.wiktionary.org). JWKTL enables efficient and structured
access to the information encoded in the English, the German, and the
Russian Wiktionary language editions, including sense definitions, part
of speech tags, etymology, example sentences, translations, semantic
relations, and many other lexical information types. The Russian JWKTL
parser is based on Wikokit (http://code.google.com/p/wikokit/).
Prior to being available as open source software, JWKTL has been a
research project at the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing (UKP) Lab of the
Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany. The following people have
mainly contributed to this project: Yevgen Chebotar, Iryna Gurevych,
Christian M. Meyer, Christof Müller, Lizhen Qu, Torsten Zesch.
== Publications ==
A detailed description of Wiktionary and JWKTL is available in our
scientific articles:

I sent this to the Editor Engagement list but maybe here there is more
people interested.

After a bit of investigation:
- Indeed, there seems to be no extension doing this.
- Translatewiki.net does have a newsletter and users can opt-in/out from
their preferences, but according to Siebrand it is a very hackish/adhoc
approach involving manual SQL queries and Mailman.
- According to Kaldari, the basic implementation as an extension should
be pretty simple, not even requiring Echo. The building blocks are
already provided by plain MediaWiki.
As I see it, this could have two levels of implementation:
1. Just one site-wide notification from admins that users can opt-in
from their preferences.
2. Possibility for a determinate user group to add more topics (e.g. New
release announcements, Activities for contributors...) and allow people
to subscribe to them.
Do you see interesting for mediawiki.org and/or wikitech.wikimedia.org?
For any other Wikimedia sites? For your own MediaWiki? I can't develop
this but I would be happy to volunteer as PM & tester (here and/or in
my personal pet project).

Hi everyone,
After assessing the current readiness (or lack thereof) of our HTTPS
code, we've decided to postpone the deployment for a week. We have a
number of things that we'd like to get cleaner resolution on:
* Use of GeoIP vs enabling on per wiki basis
* Use of a preference vs login form checkbox vs hidden option vs
sensible default
* How interactions with login.wikimedia.org will work
* Validation of our HTTPS test methodology
The new plan is to deploy on Wednesday, August 28 between 20:00 UTC
and 23:00 UTC. Prior to that, we plan on having a very limited
deployment to our test wikis, and we're also planning to deploy to
mediawiki.org. Assuming this is sorted out and we have made our test
deployments by end of day Monday, August 26, we should have time to
validate our assumptions and give people time to see the new system in
action.
More info is (or will be) available here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/HTTPS
(or here if you prefer: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/HTTPS )
Thanks everyone for your patience.

Hello,
Maybe I missed some scope subtlety, but I'm stuck with a problem which
occurs when I call my function with a template invocation, but return
the expected result when I call it from the debug console.
I'm trying to code utilities to convert lua tables to wikisyntax
tables. So far I coded something that should enable me to add title,
data cells and rows to my lua table and return the wikitable, or at
least it should. Indeed, my test page[1] return an empty row instead of
my expected filled rows. But while editing the module, calling the
function return the expected string. Do you have any idea with what's
wrong ?

你好, 近排點呀? [0]
At Wikimania there was an improvised lunch-meeting about community
metrics with Jesús González-Barahona (Bitergia), Sumana, RobLa and
myself. The main conclusion was that http://korma.wmflabs.org needs to
show a very few key metrics that could drive decisions affecting our
strategy and resources.
Let's agree first on key factors to watch, in the scope of projects
deployed in Wikimedia servers:
* Are the teams more efficient processing contributions?
* Is the share of non-WMF contributions growing?
* Are WMF and non-WMF contributions treated equally?
* Are the attraction and retention of new contributors improving?
* Are we improving the sustainability of our community?
If those are the key factors, these could be the key metrics:
# Who is contributing merged code each quarter? More origins == Better.
## WMF / WMDE / other Wikimedia / companies / OSS projects / independents
## Location of contributors (based on provided data)
# Time to resolve Gerrit changes. Shorter == Better.
## Authored by WMF/WMDE employees vs independent. Should be the same.
## Merged vs rejected. Similar progress?
## Best projects vs bottlenecks.
# Queue of open Gerrit change requests in relation to total amount of
contributions. Shorter == Better.
## Same points as above.
# New contributors with 1 / 2-5 / 6+ changes submitted in the past 3
months. More == Better.
## % of merged / rejected.
## Who is growing / stable / vanishing?
# Age of contributors since they started in the project. Small and
regular decline == Better.
## Number of contributions from each age group in the past quarters.
## WMF / non-WMF ratio for each age group.
Please have your say. I will be updating
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics#Key_metrics following
the discussion.

"OxygenGuide is Wikivoyage in the form of simple HTML files. No images.
Must-have on your smartphone or travel laptop. Whole world in 90MB.
I created an Android app but haven't much time to maintain/improve it, I
am looking for a new maintainer, anyone interested? It can be a fun
project for someone who is starting to learn Android development, so
don't hesitate :-)
Some help would also be welcome to enhance the algorithm which
transforms Wikivoyage wikicode into simple HTML."
