Thanks to everyone who’s helped work on the Code of Conduct so far.

People have brought up issues they feel were missed when working on "Unacceptable behavior" and "Report a problem". Consultants have also suggested changes in these same sections.

These are important sections, so please take a look at the proposed changes. I apologize that this feedback arrived later than planned, but I think this will create a better document.

If you prefer to give your opinion privately, feedback via e-mail is welcome at conduct-discussionwikimedia.org.

You participated earlier in discussion about the "Conflict of interest" section of the draft Code of Conduct for technical spaces. There was not consensus to approve an earlier version of this section. I'm contacting you to let you know the draft has been updated, and we are now discussing whether to finalize the new version.

Please participate here.

Thank you,

You cannot decide for the community. You are just one single person who happens to work for the WMF. You are not in the position to make these decisions. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 00:08, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

I believe you were confusing me with another user. MSchottlender-WMF (talk) 00:56, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Your names are similar, and you both work for the WMF. You threatened me. Bad decision. You shouldn't threaten people who are trying to help you (and the community in general). It is not polite. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 01:01, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

If you continue acting like this then that will definitely backfire. I am trying to help you by explaining that you need consensus for something big like this, and I can help you get consensus for an improved version of the COC. But if you continue acting like this then I will not help you, quite the opposite in fact. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 00:10, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Please think about this... is it your job to overrule consensus? Are you allowed to threaten to block people because they point out mistakes made by the WMF? Do you think the community will be happy if they hear about the way WMF staffers have handled this? The Quixotic Potato (talk) 00:12, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

I am trying to help you guys by improving the COC so that it can get consensus at some point in the future and I get treated like this. I wonder how you guys will treat all the members of the various communities who are affected by that draft. Many of them are not going to be as helpful as I am. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 00:27, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Are you WMF staffers going to keep reverting ad nauseam without talking? If someone starts an RfC about this on en.wiki and explains how the WMF has treated the community then I do not think they will be happy about that. I am trying to improve the COC so that we can get consensus for it. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 00:35, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

The Code of Conduct you are insisting on "helping with" is a Code of Conduct for the Wikimedia Technical Community, and as such, the technical community (volunteers and staff alike, who are active part of this community) have been diligently working for the better part of a year and a half to write, revise, discuss, change, and adjust.

You seem to claim ownership on fixing a document you have not participated in, nor have you been any part of its process, for the entire year and a half it has been going on.

That said, this entire endeavor would have been a lot less bothersome had you gone at it using the acceptable means - by posting your opinion and arguments on the talk page, rather than going around reverting changes that a community you seem to have very little part in has been working on.

I understand you are worried about this Code of Conduct impacting en.wiki, but this policy is about the Wikimedia Technical Spaces, as is defined in the document. MSchottlender-WMF (talk) 00:50, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

I do not dispute that a tiny group of people has spent a long time arguing about that COC. But that COC does affect a much larger group of people than you seem to think. Many of them are not super nerdy, and may not have spend a large amount of time outside of their home wiki, but that does not invalidate their opinion. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 00:58, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

All the other communities are also using the Wikimedia Technical Spaces. For example, enwiki users often post in Wikimedia Technical Spaces. It is not a tiny group of people. I do not claim ownership of anything, but I am a member of the community, here and elsewhere, and that COC does affect me and thousands of others who did not have a say in its creation.

That is wrong.

The other communities should be consulted, this is not exclusive to mediawiki.org users. We are talking about MediaWiki.org, wikitech.wikimedia.org, Phabricator, Gerrit, technical mailing lists, technical IRC channels, and Etherpad and as far as I know (almost) every community that has a respectable size uses at least one of those things (mostly wikimedia.org, phabricator and IRC).

If we would have a decent COC (and consensus for it) then we could use it in many places.

I totally understand that someone working for the WMF might think that those places are theirs, and that the other communities are relatively unimportant, but the members of the other communities are the reason those places exist, and are the ones who pay for them...

Is there an example extension for creating a new Echo notification type?

Hey Moriel, I'm currently working on an extension that creates a new notification type for Echo, but after following Extension:Echo/Creating a new notification type I get some errors which I can't seem to be able to fix. I've tried using some other ways to make my extension work, but I can't get it to work still.

I've watched the video that's on that page, and if I'm correct you mentioned on there that there would be an example extension for creating a new notification type. Do you know if that extension already exists? I think that if I have an example to work with to be able to see where my extension goes wrong. Joeytje50 (talk) 08:19, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

What errors are you getting with the notification type? is the event created?

There's no example extension per say -- you could just take a look at current examples from extensions that already create notifications, like Thanks. There are also examples of the notifications in Echo itself that might help... Moriel Schottlender (talk) 10:52, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

The errors I'm getting are problems with using $this. I'm not currently sitting at the computer with my code, but in several files I've had the problem that I had to use the static syntax instead of using $this, for example in the line

        'excerpt' => EchoDiscussionParser::getEditExcerpt( $revision, $this->getLanguage() ),

but also in the function locateUsersInList, with the line

        $userIds = $this->getList( $listId )->getUsers();

which all claim I can't use $this.

Now I've tried working around that and doing that I did manage to register my new notification type in Special:Preferences, but other than that I never got the notifications to get sent to users. Joeytje50 (talk) 07:40, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)
