by Mahuton Possoupe 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Hi everyone, The Movement Strategy Forum <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/> (MS Forum) is a multilingual collaborative space for all conversations about Movement Strategy implementation. We are inviting all Movement participants to collaborate on the MS Forum. The goal of the forum is to build community collaboration using an inclusive multilingual platform. The Movement Strategy <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Strategy> is a collaborative effort to imagine and build the future of the Wikimedia Movement. Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy, from a comment to a full-time project. Join this forum with your Wikimedia account, engage in conversations, and ask questions in your language. The Movement Strategy and Governance team (MSG) launched the proposal for this MS Forum in May. After a 2-month review period, we have just published the Community Review Report <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/ms-forum-community-review-report/1436>. It includes a summary of the discussions, metrics, and information about the next steps. We look forward to seeing you at the MS Forum!

Double AbuseFilter account on Serbian projects
by Zoran Dori 20 Aug '22

20 Aug '22

Hello, I've just found on Serbian Wikipedia that we have two MediaWiki's accounts from AbuseFilter extension with usernames "Филтер злоупотреба" and "Филтер злоупотребе". You can see it as well on https://sr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Посебно:Списак_корисника&group=s… These accounts aren't global, what you can see on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Филтер+злоупотре… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=%D0%A4%D0%B8%D0%…> and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Филтер+злоупотре… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=%D0%A4%D0%B8%D0%…> Is merging Филтер злоупотребе to Филтер злоупотреба possible? There aren't any changes or actions done by these automatic accounts. Best regards, Zoran

Hello! A friendly reminder that the feedback period ends on the 21st of August. Please spare 5-10 minutes to leave feedback[0] on the Toolhub taxonomy[1]. Toolhub[2] is a catalog of 1500+ tools used by a wide range of Wikimedia contributors: editors, developers, patrollers, researchers, admins and more. We want to make finding and categorizing these tools as easy as possible. The taxonomy is at the heart of how tool search works, and your feedback would help improve it. Whether you are a current user of Toolhub or hearing about it for the first time doesn't matter – your input is valuable and much appreciated either way! === How To Provide Feedback === Use the discussion page[3] of the feedback page to provide your responses to the questions. You will find more details on the feedback page. === Implementation === At the end of the feedback round, the team will evaluate and work on the necessary improvements. This is expected to be completed by the end of September 2022.

Query-string normalization enabled on MediaWiki.org
by Ori Livneh 19 Aug '22

19 Aug '22

Hello, A short while ago, the SRE Traffic team enabled <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/823656> query-string normalization for MediaWiki.org. This means that the caching layer (Varnish, specifically) now rewrites the query string portion of request URLs, so that query parameters are sorted by key. The re-written URL is then used for the cache look-up and (if necessary) the backend request. This improves the efficiency of the cache, since it allows logically-equivalent requests with different URL forms to be served by a single cache entry. For example, this URL: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Squid&action=history Is re-written as: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?action=history&title=Squid Care has been taken to make the sort stable for duplicate keys, and to handle PHP array syntax (?foo[]=a&foo[]=b) correctly. MediaWiki.org is the first wiki that gets real traffic where this is enabled. If you encounter any weirdness, please file a task <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/43/?parent=31486…>. If everything looks good, we'll proceed with an incremental roll-out to other wikis. This is tracked in T314868 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T314868>. Cheers

Hi, We just released 1.0.0 of commit-message-validator: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Commit-message-validator>. If you haven't heard of this project before, it's a tool that can be installed as a git hook locally to ensure your commit message follows our guidelines: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Commit_message_guidelines>. (It has a GitHub mode too.) You can also have CI run it on patches submitted to your project, please file a bug in the Continuous-Integration-Config Phabricator project if you want it turned on. Coincidentally we just passed the 6 year anniversary of this tool. It was originally written by Bryan Davis and then improved by contributions from Fabian Neundorf, Rafid Aslam, dalba, Arturo Borrero Gonzalez, Antoine Musso, Ahmon Dancy and myself. Here's to another 6 years! -- Legoktm
