Moving special page alias translations to JSON
by Abijeet Patro 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Hello everyone, The Language team is working on an approach to move special page aliases to JSON files <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89947> that can then be translated via translatewiki.net. The system we develop should also allow translation of magic words and namespaces in the future. An approach to do this has been described here on the Phabricator task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89947#9358113 You can also read up on some of the other approaches that we reviewed: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89947#7684350 The format being proposed is used in the proof-of-concept patch here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/TranslationNotificati… We would love to hear from you what you think about this approach and if you have any questions. Regards, Abijeet Patro (he/him) Staff Software Engineer, Language Engineering Wikimedia Foundation

User style to reduce Gerritbot comments on Phabricator
by Bartosz Dziewoński 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Do your eyes glaze over when trying to make sense of Phabricator tasks with a long and troubled history of patches? Do you struggle to find the real people in the sea of automated bot comments? I've made myself a user style to compact the Gerritbot comments on Phabricator. You might like it too: https://userstyles.world/style/13140/wikimedia-phabricator-reduce-gerritbot… (See screenshots and installation instructions there.) -- Bartosz Dziewoński

Experimental PHP 8.3 jobs now available in Gerrit CI
by James Forrester 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

All, PHP 8.3.0 was released last month, and so I've made it available in Wikimedia Gerrit's CI as an experimental job.[0] This means on repos tested with PHP, you can run 'check experimental' to trigger a run. However, there are a number of known blockers preventing us making these tests 'voting', including blockers for PHP 8.2.[1] If you find a blocker, please check the existing project[2] and file a task if it's new. General focus will likely be on PHP 8.2 as voting for MediaWiki code first.[3] For PHP extensions and libraries, it appears that all those which worked with PHP 8.2 also pass their tests on PHP 8.3, so I've enabled it as voting there already.[4] If you and the other owners of your codebase want to enable PHP 8.3, you can file a quick Phabricator task on #Continuous-Integration-Config[5] and we'll get it done. If you have any questions or concerns, please shout out so I can help get them fixed for you.

The login intersite mechanism is broken for the last 48 hours.
by Igal Khitron 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

Hello. Something weird started yesterday. I heavily use the global watchlist, and open links in many wikis a couple of times every day. Something that never happened before, and happens dozens of times now, in about 90% of the cases. If I work with wiki X and open some page on wiki Y, I find myself logged out there. I can go back to X and press F5, and still be logged in in X, which is the weird part, because I should be logged out everywhere simultaneously from any reason. The only thing that helps for Y is clicking Log in, then the page makes autorefresh to logged in state. Some more people complained about this. I would create a Phabricator ticket, but I have no idea how to reproduce this. Igal (User:IKhitron)
