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

Acquiring list of templates including external links
by Takashi OTA 06 Aug '16

06 Aug '16

Hoi, This is an inquiry from my friend in academia, researching about Wikipedia. He would like to know whether there's a way to acquire a list of templates including external links. Here are some examples including external links. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:JOI/doc https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Twitter/doc Such links are stored in externallinks.sql.gz, in an expanded form. When you want to check increase/decrease of linked domains in chronological order through edit history, you have to check pages-meta-history1.xml etc. In a such case, traditional links and links by templates are mixed, Therefore, the latter ones (links by templates) should be expanded to traditional link forms. Sorry if what I am saying does not make sense. Thanks in advance, --Takashi Ota [[U:Takot]]

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.

BetaFeatures grafana dashboard
by Addshore 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Recently WMDE started rolling out the RevisionSlider beta feature to a handful of wikis. We wanted to track how many people were using the feature as well as how many people were enabling / disabling it per day. Getting this data for all beta features is no more difficult than getting it for the RevisonSlider only. Thus we now have this dashboard, Enjoy! https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/betafeatures Any comments / suggestions are very welcome. -- Addshore
