The 1.34.0-wmf.16 version of MediaWiki is blocked[0]. The new version can't proceed to group1 and group2 [1] until these issues are resolved: * File pages are not created: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError" - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T229605 * PHP Notice: Undefined property: MediaWiki\Revision\RevisionRenderer::$wikiId - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T229589 Once these issues are resolved, the train can resume. If these issues are resolved on a Friday the train will resume Monday. Thank you for your help resolving these issues! -- Your unassuming train minion [0]. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220741> [1]. <https://tools.wmflabs.org/versions/>
