WVUI v0.3.0 released – last minor version incl. new components

by Volker E.

Hi all, We've released version 0.3.0 of WVUI earlier today. One of the agreements from Vue.js developer summit [0] organized by the Design System team has been to start a new library and repository next with all other technical decisions made, a.o. being based on Vue 3 or no JavaScript only support to IE 11. With this email we want to clarify upfront why we've merged two more component additions (progress-bar and toggle-button) succeeding the summit. Reasons was mainly to finalize the already in-flight work by volunteer DannyS712. Additionally to this, all other components merged since v0.2.0 and before the summit – checkbox, dropdown and options-menu – are part of this release. Same goes for further improvements for the most important in-production use case, Desktop Improvements project's Typeahead Search feature [1]. We'll discontinue major additions to WVUI from this release on besides bug fixes and will focus our work on the coming library. Thanks to volunteer DannyS712 for all contributions! And to Nikki Nikkhoui for the continued build step support and James Forrester to get release out of the door during after hours. Find interactive demos hosted on doc.wikimedia.org [2] and the additional improvements since v0.2.0 in the full changelog [3]. If you have any further questions please reach out to design-systems-team-external(a)wikimedia.org.

Action API: Removal of deprecated CSRF token parameters

by Petr Pchelko

TLDR: We will soon remove some parameters that were used to obtain CSRF tokens in the MediaWiki API. This will break bots, gadgets and user scripts that are still using these parameters. A significant and long delayed change to Action API is coming. API clients (user scripts, tools, etc) need to obtain a token before making write requests to MediaWiki over Action API. Up to MediaWiki 1.24 the action=tokens[1] and ‘token’ parameter in the following API endpoints were used to obtain a token: ‘rctoken’ in action=query&list=recentchanges [2] ‘rvtoken’ in action=query&prop=revisions [3] ‘intoken’ in action=query&prop=info [4] ‘ustoken’ in action=query&list=users[5] Since MediaWiki 1.24 these module and parameters were deprecated and were emitting deprecation warnings to API clients. These parameters and endpoint will now be removed from MediaWiki 1.37 and from Wikimedia installation. To obtain CSRF tokens clients now need to use a consolidated ‘action=query&meta=tokens’ endpoint. [6] Please respond to this email if you have any concerns or questions about this change.

OOUI v0.42.0 released – less render-blocking code via updated browser support, upgrade to jQuery 3.6.0 & OOjs 6.0.0

by Volker E.

Hi everybody, We've released version 0.42.0 of the OOUI library* yesterday. It's going to rollout with normal train next Tuesday, 24 August 2021. Highlights in this release: - Removal of code fragments for browsers, that were taken out of basic support, most of those affected released before 2013! [0]. Removal will directly results in a small performance gain for all other users. This is nominally a breaking change. If you need to continue to support those browsers in your environment, please stick with an earlier version. - Upgraded underlying libraries to jQuery v3.6.0, up from v3.5.1 and OOjs to v6.0.0, up from v5.0.0. This goes hand-in-hand with similar upgrade in MediaWiki core. Both updates above are considered breaking changes. Please carefully test if they affect your code. - Two new icons, 'share' and 'ocr' have become part of the library and the WikimediaUI design system. - Addition of RequiredElement mixin, already added in v0.41.1 Thanks especially to Thiemo Kreuz and volunteer DannyS712 on improving the documentation and Umherirrender for continuous code improvement patches. You can find details on additional new features, code-level, styling and interaction design amendments, and all improvements since v0.41.0 in the full changelog [1]. If you have any further queries or need help dealing with breaking changes, please reach out to me. As always, interactive demos [2] and library documentation is available on mediawiki.org [3], there is comprehensive generated code-level documentation and interactive demos and tutorials hosted on doc.wikimedia.org [4]. Best, Volker * Obligatory to say, no, this is not the answer to Everything. That will probably be v42 of the future Vue.js based user-interface components library [5]. --- OOUI version: 0.42.0 MediaWiki version: 1.37.0-wmf.20 Date of deployment to production: Regular train, starting Tuesday 24 August [0] - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T266866 [1] - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/oojs/ui/+/v0.42.0/History.md [2] - https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/#widgets-mediawiki-vector-ltr [3] - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOUI [4] - https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/ [5] - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288980

Production Excellence #34: July 2021

by Krinkle

How’d we do in our strive for operational excellence last month? Read on to find out! Incidents 3 documented incidents last month. That's at the median for the past twelve months, and slightly below the median of 4 over the past five years (Incident stats graphs <https://codepen.io/Krinkle/full/wbYMZK>). - 2021-07-14 eventgate latency spike <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/2021-07-14_event…> - Impact: For ~ 10min MediaWiki API clients experienced request failures. - 2021-07-16 codfw-a2 network <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/2021-07-16_asw-a…> - Impact: For ~ 1 hour Restbase clients received errors, affecting mobile apps and ContentTranslation. - 2021-07-26 ruwikinews DynamicPageList <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/2021-07-26_ruwik…> - Impact: For 30min, 15% of requests from contributors on all wikis failed. There were also brief moments during which no readers could load recently modified or uncached pages. Learn about past incidents at Incident status <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_status> on Wikitech. Remember to review and schedule Incident Follow-up <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/4758/> in Phabricator, which are preventive measures and other action items filed after an incident. Trends Last month the workboard held 154 non-old unresolved error reports. Over the past thirty days, the collective efforts of our volunteers and engineering teams have closed 14 of those. In the month of July we've also introduced or discovered thirty-one new error reports (that's an average of one production regression every day!). Of those new error reports, fifteen were resolved and 16 remain unresolved. The workboard now tallies up to 156 tasks. Over on the backlog, we're continuing to ploddingly present progress on production problems from phantoms of christmases past. Figure 1, Figure 2: Unresolved error reports stacked by month. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/247/production_excellence…> For more month-over-month numbers refer to the spreadsheet data <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTrUCAI10hIroYDU-i5_8s7pony…> .
