Hello,
A couple of months ago I noticed there are considerable number of i18n
messages in mediawiki core that are not used in the code, it can happen
because you remove the code but you forget to remove the associated i18n
messages. This is not good as it puts unneeded work for our volunteer
translators. I started https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224429 and I
would like anyone who has done some code in core to take a look at the
lists there and take action if they know what can be done for specific
group of i18n messages.
Sometimes it's not super easy because the i18n key might get lego'ed or
sometimes the code is moved to skins/extensions (like 'watchthispage' [1])
which means the i18n should be moved to extensions/skins first and then
removed from core.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I propose for Aryeh Gregor to be granted the right to approve changes against
MediaWiki core and extensions, by adding him to the mediawiki LDAP group.
Please voice support or concerns on
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230979>
Aryeh has been contributing to MediaWiki on and off for a decade or so, both as
a volunteer and a contractor. He joined gerrit only a year ago, but he had
commit access already back in the day when MediaWiki was still managed on SVN.
In the time I have been working with Aryeh, he has shown excellent skill and
good judgement. Granting him merge rights would allow him to contribute not only
by writing code, but also by approving changes made by others.
Aryeh commented on the ticket to note the following:
> My older contributions are available via git log --author simetrical. I
> couldn't find a webpage that would display the results of the search that I
> could link to. Note that that includes things from the SVN era that I only
> committed and didn't author, so it's inflated (probably only slightly). But if
> we leave that aside, according to git shortlog -sne, I have 1052 commits (after
> updating .mailmap to merge the three different e-mail addresses I've used).
> Surprisingly, this still makes me the #19 all-time contributor by number of
> commits. I think I always tended to break up my commits more than a lot of
> people, though.

Hello,
The DockerSIG[0] meeting for this month is cancelled due to the agenda
being empty. Future DockerSIG meetings are still planned.
Please do email myself or reach out in other ways if you have something
you'd like to add to the agenda for our next session; even if it's a
request and not something you'd lead.
Best,
Greg

Hi all!
Tonight, TechCom will host a discussion about improving the RFC process on
#wikimedia-office, at 21:00 UTC (23:00 CEST, 2pm PDT).
This session is not about approving a specific proposal, but rather an
opportunity to explore options and gather ideas. We have been collecting
thoughts on this for a while, see <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T216308>.
If you have suggestions on how to improve the process, please join us!

The Technical Advice IRC Meeting (TAIM) is a weekly support event for
volunteer developers. Every Wednesday, two full-time developers are
available to help you with all your questions about MediaWiki, gadgets,
tools and more! This can be anything from "how to get started" over "who
would be the best contact for X" to specific questions on your project.
If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your
