Documentation for API query/revisions needs an update
by Nicolas Vervelle 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi, today, I noticed that I was getting API warnings in WPCleaner for each call to API query/revisions : revisions - Because "rvslots" was not specified, a legacy format has been used for the output. This format is deprecated, and in the future the new format will always be used. This rvslots is not documented on API:Revisions and I don't find an email mentionning a compatibility problem on this subject. I tried the API Sandbox, but the documentation for rvslots is cryptic for me : " Which revision slots to return data for, when slot-related properties are included in rvprops. If omitted, data from the main slot will be returned in a backwards-compatible format." Any understandable explanation on this parameter and what value should I put, and what difference should I expect in the result ? Thanks Nico

MultiContent Revisions and changes to the XML dumps
by Ariel Glenn WMF 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

As many of you may know, MultiContent Revisions are coming soon (October?) to a wiki near you. This means that we need changes to the XML dumps schema; these changes will likely NOT be backwards compatible. Initial discussion will take place here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T199121 For background on MultiContent Revisions and their use on e.g. Commons or WikiData, see: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T200903 (Commons media medata) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T194729 (Wikidata entites) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Multi-Content_Revisions (MCR generally) There may be other, better tickets/pages for background; feel free to supplement this list if you have such links.

Postgres and SQLite tests are now voting on mediawiki/core patches
by Kunal Mehta 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi, MediaWiki core patches will now need to pass tests on postgres and sqlite (in addition to mysql of course) to be merged. For speed, CI won't run postgres/sqlite tests until after the patch has been +2'd (gate-and-submit queue). If you want to run them manually to debug a failure, you can comment "check sqlite" or "check postgres". Note that not all tests are passing under postgres/sqlite yet, we just disabled the remaining failing ones temporarily so these jobs could be enabled to prevent regressions. [1] tracks SQLite failures, and [2] for Postgres. [3] should find both :) Help definitely appreciated from people familiar with either DBMS to help fix the remaining test failures !
