MediaWiki 1.25 - Less than one week to release - PLEASE HELP!
by Greg Grossmeier 19 May '15

19 May '15

The planned release date for MediaWiki 1.25 is this coming Monday, May 25th[0]. There are still 23 open tasks blocking the release[1] and not all of them have assignees or clear owners. PLEASE HELP! There will be a sprint at the Wikimedia Hackathon in Lyon this coming weekend, but there's only so much that can be done in 2 days. Your help is needed.

Per-user search query limiting being deployed to wmf wikis
by Erik Bernhardson 19 May '15

19 May '15

In a few hours a patch will be going out which limits the number of concurrent searches a single user will be able to make to 5. This applies to logged in and anonymous users. The failure message is `You have too many concurrent searches running. If you are sharing an IP address with other users you can log in to get your own limits.` for anonymous users, or just `You have too many concurrent searches running.` for logged in users. These are the `cirrussearch-too-busy-for-you-anonymous-error` and `cirrussearch-too-busy-for-you-logged-in-error` i18n messages. I will be monitoring the logs when this goes out, and intermittently throughout the week as well. If necessary we will whitelist certain ip ranges that seem to be shared among large numbers of users.

Tools: Best way to start-up procs after outages.
by Maximilian Klein 18 May '15

18 May '15

Hello, I think that after one of the recent tools-labs outages my tools' process and webserver was killed, but didn't come alive again after tools-labs was rebooted. What is the best way to auto-run several commands on tools-labs when it comes alive? Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

Josa extension had been deployed to production
by devunt 18 May '15

18 May '15

After a week of tests in beta cluster, Josa extension[1] finally had been deployed to production by gerrit #210069[2] in order to finish task T15712[3]. It's specialised to assist Korean postposition process, which called josa in Korean. And it's pronounced as /dʒo:sa/ or /ʨo:sa/. You can find further information in extension page. Deployment targets are these 7 wikis: * ko.wikipedia.org * ko.wikinews.org * ko.wikibooks.org * ko.wikiquote.org * ko.wikisource.org * ko.wiktionary.org * ko.wikiversity.org I created this extension and also I'm the only maintainer of it. If you know Korean grammer or even just have any interest on this project, feel free to reply. Or you can join in Phabricator project[4] directly. Thank you. Regards.

Considering changing "pages-articles" XML dumps
by MZMcBride 17 May '15

17 May '15

Hi. I just filed <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99483> about reconsidering the "pages-articles" XML dumps that we currently generate. I'd be interested in any thoughts or feedback about the current setup and ways to potentially improve it. I suggested one possible approach: splitting by page.page_namespace instead. If someone could forward this to the XML dumps mailing list and any other mailing lists that seem relevant (wikitext-l?), that would be great. MZMcBride
