2017-11-08 15:03:26 <MichaelSchoenitz> Technical Advice IRC meeting starting in 60 minutes in channel #wikimedia-tech, hosts: @addshore & @Christoph_Jauera_(WMDE) - all questions welcome, more infos: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting
2017-11-08 16:00:22 <CFisch_WMDE> \o/
2017-11-08 16:01:33 <CFisch_WMDE> Welcome everybody to the 12th Technical Advice IRC Meeting!
2017-11-08 16:02:01 <addshore> 0/
2017-11-08 16:05:15 <Wurgl> Silence? May I start asking?
2017-11-08 16:05:25 <CFisch_WMDE> Sure!
2017-11-08 16:05:52 <Wurgl> on database dewiki_p I miss the prividege for the EXPLAIN clause
2017-11-08 16:07:01 <Wurgl> I tend to do a lot of logic with SQL, but since I do not see what keys exist and I do cannot use EXPLAIN … well, its a lttle bit hard
2017-11-08 16:07:18 <CFisch_WMDE> sounds like something for the ops people
2017-11-08 16:07:38 <CFisch_WMDE> you should create a ticket on Phabricator
2017-11-08 16:07:38 <Wurgl> https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/22259 <-- an example for a nice query. Description is in german language
2017-11-08 16:08:28 <Wurgl> okay
2017-11-08 16:09:21 <CFisch_WMDE> and you could additionally ask in #wikimedia-operations
2017-11-08 16:09:59 <Wurgl> https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T179922 <-- another one for those people.
2017-11-08 16:15:12 <Wurgl> Another thing which took a few hours to find out … https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login#How_to_log_in
2017-11-08 16:15:18 <Wurgl> The login sequence
2017-11-08 16:15:49 <CFisch_WMDE> Looking at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Staff_and_contractors#Technical%20Operations :
2017-11-08 16:15:49 <Wurgl> Yes, you need a token. And with the next call, this token has to be sent back to the server
2017-11-08 16:15:52 <CFisch_WMDE> For Database related stuff you could probably poke people like https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:JCrespo_(WMF) and https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:MArostegui_(WMF)
2017-11-08 16:17:04 <Wurgl> But what I missed: You also get a few cookies set and you need to send those cookies back to the server too. If you do not you get a message like "logintoken is missing"
2017-11-08 16:17:37 <Wurgl> So it would be nice if someone mentions the need for cookies in this two-step login procedure
2017-11-08 16:18:16 <Wurgl> … or change the error message …
2017-11-08 16:18:41 <CFisch_WMDE> Oh, nice finding. You could probably add that additional info ... it's a wiki ;-)!
2017-11-08 16:19:22 <Wurgl> Well my english is a little bit … not so nice
2017-11-08 16:19:29 <CFisch_WMDE> Hehe
2017-11-08 16:21:07 <CFisch_WMDE> So if I understand it correctly, when you request the token to login, there are cookies set that will be needed for the 2nd step, the actual login?
2017-11-08 16:21:24 <addshore> silly wifi!
2017-11-08 16:21:47 <CFisch_WMDE> wb addshore ;-)
2017-11-08 16:21:54 <Wurgl> exactly
2017-11-08 16:22:06 <addshore> *reads up*
2017-11-08 16:23:16 <addshore> hmm, I think all of the indexes are explained somewhere
2017-11-08 16:23:25 <Wurgl> No question that one needs the cookies set by the login itself. But I did not expect a need for those when requesting the token
2017-11-08 16:23:48 <Wurgl> Yes, the indexes can be found in the dump files
2017-11-08 16:24:25 <Wurgl> there you see create table statements at the very beginning.

2017-11-08 16:33:59 <Wurgl> perfect
2017-11-08 16:37:38 <addshore> :D
2017-11-08 16:41:28 <CFisch_WMDE> Anyone else with questions? :-)
2017-11-08 16:41:43 <CFisch_WMDE> Trivial patches that need reviews ;-)
2017-11-08 16:46:45 <addshore> 1 liners!
2017-11-08 16:47:06 <CFisch_WMDE> *g*
2017-11-08 16:47:48 <CFisch_WMDE> Ah, I have one addshore https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/389951/ ^^
2017-11-08 16:48:13 <addshore> ooooh
2017-11-08 16:48:37 <addshore> hahahahhaaa
2017-11-08 16:56:58 <Wurgl> Found a workaround for the missing EXPLAIN … https://tools.wmflabs.org/tools-info/optimizer.py
2017-11-08 16:57:55 <addshore> wooo!
2017-11-08 16:58:09 <Wurgl> https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T50875 <-- mentioned here
2017-11-08 16:59:07 <addshore> Wurgl: if you can manage to work a link to that into the docs then do! :D
2017-11-08 16:59:56 <addshore> Right thats about it!
2017-11-08 17:00:40 <CFisch_WMDE> :-)
2017-11-08 17:01:30 <addshore> Until next time!

2017-11-08 23:23:04 <eddiegp> DanielK_WMDE: ^
2017-11-08 23:41:41 <tgr> Krinkle: sorry, had another meeting
2017-11-08 23:42:30 <tgr> I was thinking of things like Mobile Content Service
2017-11-08 23:44:16 <tgr> which was initially created for Wikipedia-specific mobile apps, so there wasn't really a point to making it usable for third parties, and then the mobile web has become increasingly more reliant on it, but it's still mostly treated as a Wikimedia-specific tool (e.g. no assumption that the wiki might be configured differently from Wikimedia wikis, to not even mention installation support)
2017-11-08 23:45:46 <tgr> and there isn't any place in that process where one could point to and say "an RfC should have happened here", at least with how we think of RfCs today
