Hello everyone! Please save the dates of November 12-15 for the Wikimedia Technical Conference 2019 which will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. We are in the initial stages of forming the program committee and clearly defining the scope and content for the event. We will update our event’s MediaWiki page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Conference/2019> as everything develops — announcing when the theme has been defined and again when the event registration opens. For now, please add the dates to your calendar and watch our event page if you are interested. Any comments, suggestions, or discussion that you would like the program committee to take into consideration, answer, or discuss can be added to the talk page or are welcome on this phabricator task. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220212> Thank you! -- Rachel Farrand Events Program Manager Technical Collaboration Team Wikimedia Foundation

Dear Ms., I thank you for your answer. I am already a member of Africa Wikimedia Developers Project. I contacted Mr. Felix Nartey and Mr. Alangi Derick about creating a user group for Wikimedia Developers in Tunisia. However, we could not do that because we lacked time. As I said in the previous email, I am a medical student and I just code for fun. I have several skills of HTML, Pascal and Python. But, I am not a computer scientist. I am as well interested since 2009 in contributing to Wikipedia, Wikimedia Incubator and Wikimedia Commons... I do not contribute to Mediawiki... As I saw, all contributors to Africa Wikimedia Developers Project work on Mediawiki. However, I work on enriching Wikidata using Python. My project is to use PubMed to enrich Wikidata with Biomedical information. If there are members of Africa Wikimedia Developers Project who like to join my project and support me, I will be honoured to work with them. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki (he/him) Medical Student, Faculty of Medicine of Sfax, University of Sfax, Tunisia Undergraduate Researcher, UR12SP36 GLAM and Education Coordinator, Wikimedia TN User Group Member, WikiResearch Tunisia Member, Wiki Project Med Member, WikiIndaba Steering Committee Member, Wikimedia and Library User Group Steering Committee Co-Founder, WikiLingua Maghreb Founder, TunSci ____________________ +21629499418 -------- Message d'origine -------- De : Rosalie Perside <rosalieperside(a)gmail.com> Date : 2019/04/08 23:08 (GMT+01:00) À : Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc : Richa <richakinjal4(a)gmail.com> Objet : Re: [Wikitech-l] GSOC 2019 Project Summary Hello Dine, I am assuming you have seen Srishti reply to Richa as it applies in your case as well. The time left to prepare a good proposal for this round is very small and you may consider preparing for next round instead. In that case, I suggest you join the Africa Wikimedia Developer program. There you will have a lot of other motivated volunteers who contribute code to Wikimedia projects around Africa and later if eligible apply for outreach programs in Wikimedia.

[Train] 1.33.0-wmf.24 status update
by Dan Duvall 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

The 1.33.0-wmf.24 version of MediaWiki is blocked[0]. The new version is deployed to group0[1], but can proceed no further until these issues are resolved: * Citoid should only usurp "<ref" / ctrl+shift+k shortcuts if full configured - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219510 * RefreshLinksJob::runForTitle: transaction round 'RefreshLinksJob::run' already started on commons - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220037 The first issue was deemed noncritical for group1 but the second caused a large spike in DBTransactionError rates. The second issue already has a proposed fix but had not yet merged at the closing of the train deployment window. If both issues are resolved by tomorrow's train window, group1 and group2 will be promoted in succession at that time (barring further issues). Thank you for your help resolving these issues! Your humble train toiler, Dan [0]. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T206678 [1]. <https://tools.wmflabs.org/versions/> -- Dan Duvall Software Engineer, Release Engineering Wikimedia Foundation <http://wikimediafoundation.org>

Visual Editor and Media namespace
by Carles Pina i Estany 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

Hi, I've setup a Mediawiki for internal usage with VisualEditor. Using the "Edit Source" I can do something like: [[Media:Traduccio.jpg|test]] To have a direct link to a file (instead of the page landing page). Can I achieve the same using VisualEditor? Even a more important question maybe, if a page had a Media link and then I use the Visual Editor somewhere in this page it gets changed by: [//localhost:8080/images/c/ce/Traduccio.jpg test] (note that this instance has $wgServer = "http://localhost:8080"; , but I would like the link to stay as Media:File.jpg or at least to be like /images/c/ce/Traduccio.jpg without the hostname... but ideally leaving the Media) Is it possible using VisualEditor? Some configuration that needs to be changed? I downloaded it from here, shoul be this one: https://extdist.wmflabs.org/dist/extensions/VisualEditor-REL1_31-6854ea0.ta… Thank you very much, -- Carles Pina i Estany GPG Key 0x8CD5C157

Gerrit ACL updates/phab mirroring
by Tyler Cipriani 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hi All, I wanted to send a heads-up that I've reverted some recent Gerrit ACL changes that I believe have been problematic from a Gerrit operational stability standpoint. These ACL changes have been blocking some Phabricator mirroring, and you may receive emails from Phabricator about old changes being mirrored into Phabricator. Sorry for the noise. Your Gerrit Toiler, -- Tyler

MediaWiki-CodeSniffer 25.0.0 released
by Kunal Mehta 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello! MediaWiki-CodeSniffer 25.0.0 is now available for use in your MediaWiki extensions and other projects. This release features an upstream update, performance improvements, and tweaks to an existing sniff. Note that libraryupgrader isn't currently working[1], so I'm not planning to bump all repos (I just did core manually). I expect that we'll have another release later this month, so we might just bump directly to that one. Anyways, here's the changelog: * Prohibit aliases is_long, is_double and is_real (mainframe98) * Streamline PHPDoc comment parsing in UnusedUseStatement sniff (Thiemo Kreuz) * Upgrade PHP_CodeSniffer to 3.4.1 (Kunal Mehta) * Whitelist more phan annotations (Kunal Mehta) [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218750 - -- Legoktm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEE2MtZ8F27ngU4xIGd8QX4EBsFJpsFAlyn4zIACgkQ8QX4EBsF JpuUjA//TxzsAuTlSqZsGxrS3Rakf2JyEWKBV9OedTUql+a1h+V926eRB90Ec+Up jrfHT9fSg7FaR5QkmstWkBOEIpzjfwGuUhke/3NWD/bgRLEQnmik9zwrPnHjMfvE A646zZo2O5DpRCTvVUius6QQrQgwKXqqFX8vpl55cUgUT4kwFrWs8c7i0k/VcZzs 7zJystKSf/ML4V+jD4PrG0enw7VU7wt38fi1RQvwiJM2/dZUUXF6PrcBzB0vLSdS 2M8X4DpUa7ahy6NehoE28qC98K+B60gdN1VVpStDzDi684pdY9p93lsDCWWlOYH5 MNGrs3QAcP4gt9R+2aTRSQCsrvTI0fF+Ijqr6QYvTOo4NKt6m+AnWQURQnKGdyDH b991cbJtoF75PpYJBJf3IJNPhykK7MRFzwReVL09i4kidwfxewSdH9jqu+PqIkZz EAVG1SbuV0ntdC5BGZtGM02BQQTmyNX+RhNJebKI/n8pkFRf/dV2EMPODRW2kzKw 2fBJi0psCPZbjrwwZnbcf8jQUzit7wnbtAdfLPx+YJX96iSWCx6xhBFqrLsO6zjD RkdiyzRSZGUQSB1YDssbw8YNYjioF7TGWB+U6R4Ci7GtmQHW2go2/0NXD5klw3cz 4i+03fBklnPxMy/sC1+OYpR204J6J3wZtHqhtud/DEgL6EvHA7w= =Dwxc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
