blocking - unblocking, wikivoyage
by 80hnhtv4agou＠bk.ru 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

I do not see what community this is being controlled by; 1. there is no notice boards, or request for administrators, etc.. 2. there is no arbitration commity to go to, etc.. 3. there are no rules on who may be blocked. 4. there is no unblocking feature, and yet there is a review page. https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Category:Requests_for_unblock 5. there is nothing in place to punish administrators that abuse there blocking powers etc.. 6. there is no active user talk page to request an unblock.

MediaWiki 1.32.0-rc.2 is ready for testing
by Mukunda Modell 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

Links to the archives, signatures and keys relevant to this release are at the end of this message. There have been some changes[1] since the previous release candidate. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get a viable rc.2 built before the holiday break, however, I don't currently anticipate further delays. As of today, all known release critical bugs are resolved on the 1.32 branch. With a fair amount of confidence I expect to release 1.32.0 final sometime next week. Warning: This is not a final release and should not be used for production websites. Known issues are tracked in Phabricator on the release work-board[1]. As always please do try out the release candidate in a test environment and report any issues that you discover. Please use the #MW-1.32-Release[2] tag in Phabricator when reporting issues specific to this release. ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.32/mediawiki-1.32.0-rc.2.tar.gz Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.32/mediawiki-core-1.32.0-rc.2.ta… Patch to previous version (1.32.0-rc.1): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.32/mediawiki-1.32.0-rc.2.patch.gz GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.32/mediawiki-core-1.32.0-rc.2.ta… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.32/mediawiki-1.32.0-rc.2.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.32/mediawiki-1.32.0-rc.2.patch.g… Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki/compare/?head=1.32.0-rc.… [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/3306/ [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?tags=MW-1.32- Release

Thank you Wednesday [Developers Annual Edition]
by Andre Klapper 02 Jan '19

I think we've never had annual statistics to praise the people writing and editing code? Let's try. (Though many areas and people are missing and data might have bugs.) 20 most active on-wiki gadget and MediaWiki:Common.js editors [1] in 2018: 846 Od1n 491 DAlangi (WMF) 333 Jack who built the house 192 ToprakM 187 Épine 179 Wim b 155 Krinkle 150 HastaLaVi2 124 محمد شعیب 124 Peter Bowman 122 Yamaha5 119 ESanders (WMF) 95 TheDJ 88 Vinhtantran 86 Nirmos 82 Alex brollo 78 Bodhisattwa 69 SM7 68 আফতাবুজ্জামান 68 Suzukaze-c Longer list in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P7954 20 most active Gerrit submitters [2] in 2018: 3005 Legoktm 1885 Marostegui 1875 Umherirrender 1395 Hashar 1379 Esanders 1192 Jforrester 996 Krinkle 916 Andrew Bogott 882 Dzahn 855 Jcrespo 786 Thiemo Kreuz 783 Elukey 740 Urbanecm 718 Ejegg 717 Reedy 691 Robert Vogel 679 Addshore 655 Jdlrobson 653 MarcoAurelio 632 Matmarex Longer list on https://wikimedia.biterg.io/ under "Gerrit" [2]. For more info, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics (and its talk page for anything related to wikimedia.biterg.io itself). There are more potential statistics (Github repositories [3], Gerrit reviewers [4], Module editors, etc.) that could be interesting - if someone has ideas how to get such data [5]. Cheers, andre [1] by pulling the sitematrix and getting the authors of the revisions of all MediaWiki:Gadget-* and MediaWiki:Common.js pages per site via https://gitlab.com/aklapper/wikimedia-wikis-gadget-editor-stats/ (which welcomes an actual developer to write this in a proper language) [2] https://wikimedia.biterg.io/ under "Gerrit > Overview" in the "Submitters" panel, after setting "author_bot:false" in the search field and setting the time frame in the upper right corner. [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T186736 [4] https://github.com/chaoss/grimoirelab/issues/58 [5] Did not spot anything on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Development_statistics -- Andre Klapper | Bugwrangler / Developer Advocate https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/

Voter Decision Support Systems Wikipedia Article
by Adam Sobieski 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Wikitech-l, Greetings. Recently, a discussion started with respect to deleting a Wikipedia page, Voter decision support system. The technologies of voter decision support systems are new. Pertinent Web standards are being advanced at the W3C Voter Decision Support Community Group (https://www.w3.org/community/voter-decision-support/). As to why we don’t already have voter decision support system software applications, as to why voters in modern democracies are not already supported with state-of-the-art software applications during and between election seasons, I indicate that a number of us are working on Web standards and schema to facilitate the development of such software applications. We can hope that software developers worldwide will find convenience from the standards and schema work underway at the W3C and IPTC. I wanted to bring the matter to your attention, to invite each of you to review the article, to invite each of you to observe the new W3C Community Group, and to invite each of you join the debate with respect to whether the encyclopedia article should be deleted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Voter_decisio… . Thank you, Adam Sobieski
