Significant Events

• iOS srcset bug

Loved

• Feed progress + +
  • Should merge stuff in gerrit; fix loose ends later
• Idea to consolidate CSS (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137992 )

Lacked

• Knowing what to do (if anything) about bugs created by templates. (see. e.g., https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T126331 )
  • Maybe go to the talk page for that template and explain the problem
  • 1/3 of main page articles image leads to file page
  • Maybe ask James F

Learned

• Double-check your schema version before querying event logging!
• Using queries to determine which pages to re-generate takes longer than doing all pages. -> Need for versioned content format
  • Regeneration has happened (at least on enwiki jellyfish); should check
• Alcohol laws in Pennsylvania

Longed for

• Faster re-generation of MCS content
• Design research availability

Action Items
