I archived this one again since the required Extension:MyInfo is still unpublished and there is no intention visible that it is going to be published. I guess there is nothing we can do about it. PS You are doing a very good job tidying up things here. Much appreciated. [[kgh]] (talk) 22:37, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

I misread "The source code of required software to run this extension is unavailable" as "The source code for this extension is unavailable", and noticed that the repo was in fact available when doing cleanup for phab:T190671. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 22:54, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

I suggest running for adminship here - I would be happy to nominate you. You'd be able to delete all of the cleanup yourself after a week, action speedy deletion, etc. Thoughts? DannyS712 (talk) 08:10, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

It seems very surprising that a wiki would accept a user who has only been editing actively for about three weeks as an administrator. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 13:43, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

mediawiki is different from most content wikis, but I also didn't realize you had only been here for 3 weeks DannyS712 (talk) 13:54, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

That said, if you think I would be accepted as an admin despite only being active for a few weeks, I would be willing to run. (I've been doing primarily wiki-agnostic cleanup for the last few days, so have very little idea of what the adminship standards for this wiki are. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 18:54, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

needs-updatephp = No

Hi! Module:Extension currently answers only if the value of |needs-updatephp= parameter in {{Extension }} is yes, with a comment that it’s unclear whether “no” needs to be explicitly stated. Despite of this uncertainty, you removed |needs-updatephp=No for example here and here with the edit comment “now loaded from extension.json”. While this is certainly not true in this form, I wonder if there has been a discussion deciding on removing such parameters in the meantime. If there was (where?), it should be reflected in the module comment and your edit comments; if there wasn’t, why do you remove the parameters? Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:13, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

The current situation "certain extensions explicitly specify they don't need update.php to be run, whereas others do not" is clearly undesirable. I personally don't see the point of setting it to no; running update.php unnecessarily does no harm, and I suspect if a page is silent on whether it should be run, the typical uninformed user would not run it.

I believe I must have incorrectly interpreted that comment to mean that needs-updatephp=no is not supported at all, rather than not automatically specified. Either way, it should be auto-filled or not supported by the template at all (and I'm not aware of any discussion), rather than implemented ad hoc; the entire point of my edits was to avoid ad hoc duplication of data. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 21:31, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

I made a null edit, but it didn't leave the category... DannyS712 (talk) 15:10, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

You appear to have run into phab:T255334, since my changes weren't actually synced to the translation subpages. The typical workaround for that it to make a dummy edit to the template (typically toggling between <languages/> and <languages />) and then mark it for translation again. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 15:16, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

I did toggle, with no change DannyS712 (talk) 15:22, 4 July 2020 (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)

Seeking guidance regarding migration of MediaWiki documentation

Hello, I've reviewed the "Help:Interwiki linking" articles on both Meta-Wiki and MediaWiki.org. I found that Meta-Wiki includes more comprehensive examples, detailed explanations of technical configurations, and specific guidelines for usage not present on MediaWiki.org. I'm interested to enrich the MediaWiki.org documentation by integrating these aspects. Could you guide me on adapting this content appropriately, considering licensing constraints? Specifically, advice on incorporating examples and technical details would be invaluable.

- Meta-Wiki: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Interwiki_linking

- MediaWiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Interwiki_linking Mhmohona (talk) 02:28, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Examples themselves (i.e the table at m:Help:Interwiki linking#Project titles and shortcuts) are generally below the threshold of originality and can be copied without regard for copyright, although that specific example is specific to Wikimedia wikis so properly belongs on Meta. Some of the more technical stuff belongs in Manual namespace (which is not public domain so you can copy directly) rather than help namespace (i.e Manual:Interwiki). See Project:PD Help vs. Project:Manual for the difference between the two namespaces. And make sure the technical stuff is still true - a lot of Meta help is very outdated.

For content that does belong in the PD help namespace, see m:Special:PermaLink/22520095 versus mw:Help:Redirects and m:Help:Redirects as an example. The more philosophical stuff probably does belong in the Help page, rewritten. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 02:48, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

It's far too soon to say that it will end in December

Hey, I'd like to comment your edit. Under usual circumstances, I'd agree with you – typically, we don't know when exactly a project would end. I wouldn't have added the end date in the infobox. But the Charts group is tasked with a specific job, and there is an official plan that we wrap up in December. We'd like to make it clear for everyone interested. After that, all staffers involved get back to their regular teams in their previous capacities. Sure, maybe later the leadership would change their minds, but for now, we're officially wrapping up in December, which is different from the usual "we'd like to wrap up in December". For this reason I'd prefer to keep the end date in the infobox. What do you think? SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 23:49, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

(Context: This is about Extension:Chart/Project)

You should say those words (or some variant of them) somewhere on the project page then. Just having it in the infobox doesn't convey the point very clearly, as you can see from the fact that I missed it and interpreted that as a usual idealistic timeframe that I've repeatedly seen not be met.

This situation is so rare that the template didn't properly support future dates and put the page in the redlinked Category:WMF Projects 2024q4, which brought it to my attention as I monitor redlinked categories here. I'm working on fixing the template now, though. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 23:52, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

That's downright wrong - the page is intending to talk about wikis where the legacy StructuredDiscussions system is used, not discussiontools. The maintenance status of StructuredDiscussions is not relevant in this context. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 20:40, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
