Hello all,
It's coming close to time for annual appointments of community members to
serve on the Code of Conduct (CoC) committee. The Code of Conduct Committee
is a team of five trusted individuals plus five auxiliary members with
diverse affiliations responsible for general enforcement of the Code of
conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces. Committee members are in charge of
processing complaints, discussing with the parties affected, agreeing on
resolutions, and following up on their enforcement. For more on their
duties and roles, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Committee
This is a call for community members interested in volunteering for
appointment to this committee. Volunteers serving in this role should be
experienced Wikimedians or have had experience serving in a similar
position before.
The current committee is doing the selection and will research and discuss
candidates. Six weeks before the beginning of the next Committee term,
meaning 27th of April 2019, they will publish their candidate slate (a list
of candidates) on-wiki. The community can provide feedback on these
candidates, via private email to the group choosing the next Committee. The
feedback period will be two weeks. The current Committee will then either
finalize the slate, or update the candidate slate in response to concerns
raised. If the candidate slate changes, there will be another two week
feedback period covering the newly proposed members. After the selections
are finalized, there will be a training period, after which the new
Committee is appointed. The current Committee continues to serve until the
feedback, selection, and training process is complete.
If you are interested in serving on this committee or like to nominate a
candidate, please write an email to *techconductcandidates** AT
wikimedia.org <http://wikimedia.org>* with details of your experience on
the projects, your thoughts on the code of conduct and the committee and
what you hope to bring to the role and whether you have a preference in
being auxiliary or constant member of the committee. The committee consists
of five members plus five auxiliary members and they will serve for a year;
all applications are appreciated and will be carefully considered. The
deadline for applications is end of day on 19th of April, 2020.
Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think
may be qualified and interested.
Best,
Amir on behalf of the CoC committee
Hi All,
Reminder that there is no train next week and there are no deployments
Tuesday–Friday.
A large number of folks will be unavailable Wednesday through Friday, so
we're cancelling the deployment train next week and treating next Tuesday
like a Friday (which means only deploying in cases of emergency[0]).
As always, the deployment schedule on Wikitech should be up-to-date and
canonical[1].
Thanks all!

Hi,
Is there any MediaWiki API that could be used for a proper
case-insensitive category title search? Or is this still something that
doesn't exist yet?
For some context, I'm asking this for a feature request[1] in the
Commons Android app that asks for a case insensitive category title
search. In case you're wondering where category search comes into
picture in the app, adding appropriate categories for an image is part
of the upload flow.
I wonder that such an API doesn't exist yet for the following reasons:
A) The exhaustive search for such an API wasn't fruitful. The closest we
got was using `generator=search` with `srsearch=intitle:$SEARCH_TERM`
and `srnamespace=14` (14 is the id for category namespace in Commons).
But it's not a proper category search as it is essentially a search for
pages existing in Category namespace. See [2] for why it's not a proper
category search.
B) I saw "T59302 Suggest case insensitive results when searching for
categories to add"[3] which is still open. In particular the comment in
the ticket pointed to by [4].
So, is my understanding that an API for case-insensitive category title
search doesn't exist correct? Or am I missing something?
