The Berlin Hack-a-thon (
http://hexm.de/2o) and a variety of CSS-related
bugs possibly caused by the recent IE fixes dominated the discussion
durin this week's bug triage. Here's the bugs we discussed and a quick
summary of the decided course of action.
== Bugsmash ==
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/11415: __EDITPARENTSECTION__
I brought up this old enhancement request since it looks like it has
a lot of people chiming in still.
It seems a little hairy, but would make a good candidate for our
upcoming Berlin Hack-a-thon. (i.e. “bugsmash” tag)
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28819: Deleted revision links should
use "rev_id" not "page/timestamp"
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28820: Diffs using rev_id should work
when one or both revisions are deleted
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/18104: Schema request change so
deleted edits are identified by revisionID
Brion created thesee bugs which could each be resolved somewhat
independently and suggested them for bugsmash in triage
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28829: Failure to subscribe to
mediawiki-announce is not reported to the user
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28845:
PostgresInstaller::canCreateAccounts() gives the wrong result
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/20814: Enable $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains for wikimedia
sites
This isn't going to happen with the code as it exists right
now. Tim has updated the bug with a comment outlining the
problems and I asked him on IRC to create a new bug specifically
addressing the problems that need to be addressed in MediaWiki
before this can be done.
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28839: Interwiki may circumvent blacklist
Someone can do a SMOP that would find abusable interwiki links.
== CSS errors ==
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28891: Regression? Clicking on
non-existing image link does not redirect to upload anymore
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28840: Diffs not displaying
correctly in IE because mediawiki thinks the …
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28857: Sometimes there's "undefined"
in a Resource loader CSS request
Tim said Roan probably has a patch for this particular bug.
Need to get it applied (if it hasn't been already) and tested.
I've emailed Roan.
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28851: Display problem on ku.wikipedia
This is likely be caused one of the other general CSS-breakage
or RL-breakage issues. I'll recheck after the other CSS bugs
(above) have been fixed.
== Other problems ==
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28889: out of memory error when
deleting messages on commons
Fairly isolated since it only happens with a couple of specific
messages on the Commons, which does a lot of customization.
Lowered the priority but asked for other instances of the
problem.
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28827: High NEW PHP Catchable fatal
error: Argument 1 passed to RequestContext::setTitle() must be
an instance of Title, null given
Translatewiki brought this one up because no one had been able
to deal with it yet on IRC. We asked translatewiki for
traceback and I assigned to dantman since he was working on this
code.
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28842: user rights issue with vector and new editor
Tim is on top of this one and thinks it is an extension problem.
*
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28843: Customizable cite error
My description wasn't clear enough — asked Happy-Melon to help
me clarify it.
