Hi,
I cannot find a piece of information about $subject.
As help page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Range_blocks/IPv6> was
moved from Meta to MediaWiki, it gives now a general talk instead of actual
information. It says: "Like IPv4, IPv6 rangeblocks are limited by
$wgBlockCIDRLimit <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgBlockCIDRLimit>,
which by default allows rangeblocks of up to /64 in size (before MediaWiki
1.20wmf5, which changes the default to /19)."
All right, but what is the actual value for WMF wikis, and where is this
information available?

In addition to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_at_Google_Code-in_2015.png, which
shows we've completed more tasks in the first half of the contest than
in the entire last year, we have some nice statistics about Wikimedia
compared to other orgs. The best news for me is that not only we
involved many students with easy beginner tasks, but they go farther
from there: we're the third org with most students with 3+ tasks completed.
You can still become a mentor, or add new tasks if you're already one:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2015#Mentors.27_corner
If you don't know what tasks to mentor, I just added ~50 suitable
reports you can pick from (mostly MediaWiki, so any MediaWiki dev can
help): https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/google-code-in-2015/
The more mentors we have, the less worries about making the 36 hours
deadline for reviews. :-)

Hi Org Admins and Mentors,
Here are some interesting statistics about task completion counts.

Last week, I asked the right way to inject raw JavaScript so that "mw" and "jQuery" were defined. I was helpfully pointed to ResourceLoader::makeInlineScript(), which wraps the JS in the appropriate magic:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-December/084408.html
Now, what is the right way to include a remote JavaScript file? If I simply use OutputPage::addScript() like this:
$myOutputPage->addScript('<script src="http://remote.com/myfile.js"></script>')
it fails because the remote JavaScript file references the "jQuery" object like this:
function ($) {
//... code here
}(jQuery));
I get "ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined" on the last line. I guess the remote script is getting evaluated before ResourceLoader brings in jquery.js...?
Thanks very much for any advice.

Hi,
I've been trying to set up mediawiki-vagrant on my machine.But Vagrant
crashes everytime.
It says that vagrant home directory(address) has spaces, even though I've
installed C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant .
and cloned medaiwiki-vagrant at C:/myMediawiki/vagrant.
Need help.

Hello everyone,
I’m happy to announce that the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has
awarded an exploratory grant of $250,000 to the Wikimedia Foundation’s
Discovery department [1], in order to conduct research and prototyping to
improve how people discover and engage with information on Wikipedia and
Wikimedia projects.
The Discovery team has begun six months of research and prototyping, with
the goal of building better experiences to help people discover knowledge.
You can learn more about the team’s work here
<http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/12/23/search-and-discovery-on-wikipedia/>.
Our deliverables include:
- User testing and research on current user flows to understand the
search and discovery experience
- Creation and maintenance of a dashboard of core metrics to use in
product development
- Research on search relevancy and the possibility of integrating open
data sources
- Open discussion with the Wikimedia community of volunteer editors
- Creation of sample prototypes to showcase discovery possibilities
The need to improve our search experience has long been recognized across
the Wikimedia projects. We need better ways to help everyone discover the
most relevant, reliable information on Wikipedia and its sister projects. For
example, while people can search within one project (like Wikipedia or
Wikimedia Commons), they can’t easily search across the different projects.
Some people still receive zero results if they search and do not include
the right words in a search. There are open data sources that have the
potential to improve how people find information, and that should be
explored.
We look forward to discussing these projects with communities and anyone
with an interest. You can collaborate with the Discovery department in the
following ways:
- Subscribe <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/discovery> to
the Discovery team’s public mailing list
- Read about these projects and others at the MediaWiki Discovery
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Discovery> page
- Reach out to the Discovery team on their IRC channel:
#wikimedia-discovery on Freenode <https://freenode.net/>.
A press release and blog post will follow shortly, and more information in
the form of an FAQ has been posted here [2].

Hello readers of this list :)
tl;dr
MediaWiki's wfMsg*() functions were removed in MediaWiki 1.27.
Long version:
Maybe someone has already seen the work on the wfMsg*() deprecation task:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70750
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70750>
A little bit of background:
MediaWiki provides different functions to get a localised message string,
the one you normally choose is wfMessage, which creates a Message object.
However, there are other global functions (including wfMsg(),
wfMsgForContent(), wfMsgHtml() and so on), too, which was deprecated in
MediaWiki 1.18 (with deprecating notification in 1.21) in favour of
wfMessage. Unfortunately, a lot of (maybe unmaintained) extensions still
used the old deprecated functions to get a localised message.
After a huge amount of changes to these extensions (tracked in the linked
task), we now hope, that all usages of these functions are replaced by it's
modern wfMessage-counterpart, at least we did our best to find affected
extensions :)
Now, the time has come, that the change to mediawiki/core, which removes
the old deprecated functions[1], was merged. This notification is mostly
for people, who still use these functions, if you're sure you don't, you
can stop reading here :P
If you're a maintainer of an extension, please make sure, that you don't
use these wfMsg*() functions anymore (if your extension is hosted in
Wikimedia Gerrit, you probably mentioned a change named "Remove wfMsg*
calls", so we already did the work for you. If not, please take some
minutes to find out, how you can migrate to the new wfMessage function to
keep compatibility with newer MediaWiki releases. If you want to replace
your usage of wfMsg* functions your best friend (mostly) is the
documentation page[2], which describes appropriate replacements with the
actual message functions. However, it's possible, that your case of usage
isn't mentioned there, and if so, you could first try to find a better
approach using the Message object (returned by wfMessage()), which is
documented on doc.wikimedia.org <http://doc.wikimedia.org> [3], or, if you
really don't know, what to do, ask in #wikimedia-dev or on this mailing
list :) I think you'll get help as soon as possible.
I hope this answers all questions, if not, feel free to answer this e-mail
:)
Best,
Florian
