I had a project running named algo-news. I can still login and "become" algo-news, but all my files seem to have disappeared. There was a Python app in ~/www/python/src/ as suggested by the docs, but not any more. Any idea what happend? And how can I prevent this in the future?
Please use the labs-l mailing list (https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l) for questions regarding Labs or Tools.
There are no user-accessible backups (cf. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Tool_Labs#Backups); please file a Phabricator task or ask in #wikimedia-labs if there is a snapshot containing your files.
I personally (try to) guard against inadvertent deletions by putting everything (except passwords) in a Git repository that is hosted on another machine. That way in the worst case I only lose uncommitted changes, and as I was actively working on those I should have a fairly good memory of them.
