Contributors edit

Community Tech edit

  • Updates:
    • Work on Dark Mode is delayed to ensure we are doing the right work with the right collaboration. We are currently updating all the Tool Labs tools we own to prepare for the Actor migration. If users or devs have issues with these tools, let us know. The work is moving quickly but due to some missing indices on the new tables in the replicas, our queries are much too slow. This is causing occasional application errors for users as the queries time out.

Anti-Harassment Tools edit

  • Updates:
    • We are near completion of the refactor of Block. There will be changes to the ways developers use Blocks. The work is done in this task primarily: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222737. We will be sending an email to wikitech-l with details and examples. Most of the documentation is already updated or will be updated soon.
