Need review on ContentHandler implementation, Newsletter extension
by Tony Thomas 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

Hello all, We have a patch https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/295670/, which had its last review almost 28 days back, and is a major blocker for the deployment of Newsletter extension in production. The shift is tracked at T138462[1]. The patch is bit lengthy, and enable the extension to use ContentHandler, which help us use a lot of in-wiki features. I had pulled the change to the labs wiki at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/, which is broken as of now, tracked in T138686[2]. It would be great if you devs can take a look at both the labs instance and the contenthandler change.

Shutting down deprecated rest.wikimedia.org by September 1st
by Gabriel Wicke 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

We are going to finally switch off the deprecated domain rest.wikimedia.org by September 1st. This should not affect any REST API users, as this domain has been officially deprecated since January & sunset since April [1]. Since then, requests to that domain have returned an error informing users about the move. Access to the REST API is exclusively through the main project domains, following the following pattern: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc Thank you for your cooperation, -- Gabriel Wicke Principal Engineer, Wikimedia Foundation [1]: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2016-April/085309.html

In order to improve browser testing tools, release engineering team has created browser testing user satisfaction survey: https://goo.gl/xS6mmV It should take you up to 5 minutes. Most of the questions have simple 5 level linear scale. There are 5 sections, and the last question in each section will be free form text field, so you can leave comments on anything we forgot to ask.

T47317: Sections generated by tag extension do not show up in TOC
by Lord_Farin 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

All, I would like to draw your attention to ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T47317. This ticket highlights some issues with the way sections, headers and the TOC are handled in the parser in combination with tag extensions and parser functions. Basically the problem is that the TOC is created before strip markers are substituted, which prevents some sections from showing up in the TOC. This issue is limiting the usefulness of such constructs, so I am very interested to spend some time on it with people well-versed in the parser code and in particular the formatHeadings function. Of course, there are plenty more details I could give but before flooding wikitech-l with those I thought I'd poll for the interest in addressing this. Maybe the next step could be some chat over IRC or another medium? Thanks in advance, Lord_Farin

by Greg Grossmeier 02 Aug '16

tl;dr: WMF Continuous Integration will have downtime on Tuesday August 2nd starting at about 16:00 UTC due to a WMF Labs infrastructure upgrade. Don't expect Jenkins to report test failure/passing on your changes during this time.
