Hello,
On April 30th 2025, Graphite was set to read-only mode. All metrics
production on WMF infrastructure has moved to Prometheus and no components
should be using Graphite (or can use Graphite as the ports for ingestion
have been firewalled for a year). All graphite instances will be made
inaccessible from the 31st of August and service configuration will be
removed.
If you have absolutely critical historical data that you would like saved
from Graphite please file a ticket in the SRE Observability project
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/5391/> as soon as is
possible. If you have any other questions, get in touch with us in
#wikimedia-observability on IRC.
Kind regards,
On behalf of the Observability team
Hugh
Hi all,
There will be a brief interruption to the Phabricator production host
tomorrow, August 20th, at 06:00 UTC [0]. We've scheduled this maintenance
to take about 45 minutes. Apologies for any inconvenience this might cause.
Best Regards,
Arnold.

This week's 1.47.0-wmf.17[0] version of MediaWiki is blocked at testwikis.
We can't proceed until the following issue is resolved:
* T426102: Rename current 'Worklist' texts in invitation lists"

Assistance appreciated!

I'm reading Dumps/Airflow on wikitech. It talks about DAGs. What is a DAG? The usual meaning (Directed Acyclic Graph) doesn't make any sense in this context.
Dear all,
We are preparing an academic research project involving the large-scale
analysis of art-historical material from Wikimedia Commons, conducted
jointly by the University of Marburg and the Getty Research Institute.
For this project, we anticipate requiring access to at least five million
Commons images. High-resolution originals are not necessary; thumbnails
would suffice.
Before we initiate any large-scale retrieval, we would be grateful if you
could advise us on the preferred way to access this material. In
particular, we would be grateful for advice on whether an existing bulk
dataset provides Commons thumbnails on this scale, or whether a project of
this size should make use of, or request, any special API arrangements. As
we can identify and filter the relevant image URLs from the metadata in
advance, the main question concerns the recommended method for retrieving
the images themselves.
If you have any more questions about the project, please do not hesitate to
get in touch.
Thank you, and all the best,
Stefanie
