Welcome to this week technical advice session!!!!!
|
2017-12-06 16:01:09

<Adotchar>
|
Is it now?
|
2017-12-06 16:02:09

<Dysklyver>
|
Can I talk about tables?
|
2017-12-06 16:03:13
|
<Thiemo_WMDE>
|
Tables in the wikitext?
|
2017-12-06 16:03:16
|
<Dysklyver>
|
yes
|
2017-12-06 16:03:26
|
<Dysklyver>
|
you see I have been working on this: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Places_in_Cornwall
|
2017-12-06 16:03:43
|
<Dysklyver>
|
and it takes a very long time to make sortable tables
|
2017-12-06 16:04:02
|
<Dysklyver>
|
is it possible to automate this
|

Hi! I don't have any questions or something. I joined this channel because I was just curious to see what Technical Advice IRC meeting is :) Going to stay silent and don't disturb you.
|
2017-12-06 16:04:18

<andre__>
|
Asking any random questions, it is. :D
|
2017-12-06 16:04:28
|
<Thiemo_WMDE>
|
Look into Listeria by Magnus Manske. :-)
|
2017-12-06 16:04:43
|
<Dysklyver>
|
that seems to work off wikidata
|
2017-12-06 16:05:13
|
<Thiemo_WMDE>
|
Well, all these places in Cornwall should be on Wikidata. :-)
|
2017-12-06 16:05:47
|
<Dysklyver>
|
hmm thats a point
|
2017-12-06 16:06:15
|
<Thiemo_WMDE>
|
You can also try to prepare lists in Excel and copy-paste them into the VisualEditor.
|
2017-12-06 16:06:30
|
<Dysklyver>
|
that could also work
|
2017-12-06 16:06:52
|
<Dysklyver>
|
ok thanks, I am just asking cause if it was easier i could do all the other counties
|
2017-12-06 16:07:50

<Thiemo_WMDE>
|
We plan to work on automatic list generation from Wikidata data in 2018. That will be exactly what you want, I hope.
|
2017-12-06 16:08:01
|
<addshore>
|
Woo Wikidata!
|
2017-12-06 16:09:56

So, any other interesting questions? :)

<Adotchar>
|
What does WMDE stand for
|
2017-12-06 16:10:11
|
<Dysklyver>
|
automatic list generation would be great, all lists and indexes could benefit from being sortable tables, thanks

I’m not sure if our German-language website is useful to you :D basically it’s the German chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation

Basically WM<country code> is the naming scheme for all local chapters.
|
2017-12-06 16:13:27
|
<Dysklyver>
|
country code or language code?
|
2017-12-06 16:13:41
|
<Thiemo_WMDE>
|
Dysklyver: Country, as these chapters are per country.
|
2017-12-06 16:13:46

<Dysklyver>
|
ok cool

2017-12-06 16:13:51

WMUS?

<Thiemo_WMDE>
|
Well ... ;-)
|
2017-12-06 16:14:04
|
<Lucas_WMDE>
|
there is a WMDC for US-specific topics as far as I understand
|
2017-12-06 16:14:09
|
<Lucas_WMDE>
|
(as in Washington DC)
|
2017-12-06 16:14:11
|
<Adotchar>
|
Yes.
|
2017-12-06 16:14:20
|
<Thiemo_WMDE>
|
*exceptions apply*
|
2017-12-06 16:14:21

<Adotchar>
|
And a NYC one.
|
2017-12-06 16:14:24
|
<Lucas_WMDE>
|
but I’m not qualified to comment on the details :)
|
2017-12-06 16:14:28
|
<mutante>
|
there is US-DC and US-NYC
|
2017-12-06 16:14:28
|
<Zppix>
|
WMF is the main US "Chapter"
|
2017-12-06 16:14:28
|
<Lucas_WMDE>
|
oh, I didn’t know that!
|
2017-12-06 16:14:34
|
<mutante>
|
they _should_ use wikimedia.us
|
2017-12-06 16:14:36
|
<mutante>
|
but they dont:)

‘murica’s so big we have two.
|
2017-12-06 16:14:46
|
<mutante>
|
WMF is not a chapter
|
2017-12-06 16:14:58
|
<Zppix>
|
mutante: hence its in quotes

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_chapters
|
2017-12-06 16:15:08
|
<Dysklyver>
|
the WMF is global, but "based" in the US
|
2017-12-06 16:15:27
|
<mutante>
|
no, Wikimedia is a global movement and the foundation is located in the US
|
2017-12-06 16:15:46
|
<Dysklyver>
|
which I believe is just a legal and head office location issue than anything else
|
2017-12-06 16:16:05
|
<bawolff>
|
A bit more than just that
|
2017-12-06 16:17:01
|
<mutante>
|
there is some engineering there but less than it used to. many people are around the world working remote
|
2017-12-06 16:17:23
|
<mutante>
|
it just moved to a smaller location
|
2017-12-06 16:17:24
|
<Zppix>
|
I wonder what it takes to start a chapter... WMNA sounds like a good one
|
2017-12-06 16:17:33

Catalan’s trying to make one.

ooooh, sounds very technical

Zppix: there are also user groups
|
2017-12-06 16:18:43

"regional chapters" is a term

afaict you typically start as a user group and later "upgrade" to a real chapter
|
2017-12-06 16:19:37

here's how to: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contact/affcomusergroup
|
2017-12-06 16:19:52
|
<Dysklyver>
|
a bit like how Wikiprojects or Wikipedias incubate i suppose
|
2017-12-06 16:20:08
|
<Zppix>
|
mutante: so in theory i could start Wikimedia North America?
|
2017-12-06 16:20:44
|
<Adotchar>
|
Can I start Wikimedia Antarctica and not go there?
|
2017-12-06 16:21:04

<Zppix>
|
Adotchar: dont think that will get many members lol
|
2017-12-06 16:21:18

I can find a few penguins.

If anybody does have a more technical question, please don't be afraid to ask. :-)
|
2017-12-06 16:21:45

<Dysklyver>
|
there is a wikiproject Antarctica on en-wiki
|
2017-12-06 16:21:52
|
<Zppix>
|
Im being serious though, i could start wikimedia north america correct?
|
2017-12-06 16:23:46
|
<addshore>
|
There are hoops to bump through, but i dont see why not
|
2017-12-06 16:24:06
|
<mutante>
|
Zppix: i think that "North America" is already the "colation United States"
|
2017-12-06 16:24:12
|
<mutante>
|
Zppix: also, don't forget Canada and Mexico
|
2017-12-06 16:24:14
|
<Lucas_WMDE>
|
I’m not sure what that would be… some super-chapter encompassing Wikimedia México, Canada, DC and NYC?
|
2017-12-06 16:24:23
|
<bawolff>
|
Wikicon-USA got renamed WikiConNorthAmerica
|
2017-12-06 16:24:31
|
<bawolff>
|
so I think they're trying to be all encompassing
|
2017-12-06 16:24:36
|
<bawolff>
|
but I don't really see the point
|
2017-12-06 16:24:39
|
<Zppix>
|
Lucas_WMDE: all of North america
|
2017-12-06 16:24:52
|
<mutante>
|
Zppix: what state are you in?
|
2017-12-06 16:24:57
|
<bawolff>
|
Wikimedia Canada has had lots of issues due to being too broad a base to easily form a chapter
|
2017-12-06 16:25:00
|
<Zppix>
|
Illinois
|
2017-12-06 16:25:04

<bawolff>
|
I imagine WM-NA would be that times ten
|
2017-12-06 16:25:14

I have to go.

2017-12-06 16:25:15

|
<mutante>
|
Zppix: fill out the form above
|
2017-12-06 16:28:12
|
<mutante>
|
it goes to "affcom"
|
2017-12-06 16:29:03
|
<Dysklyver>
|
it says you need "Three active Wikimedians"
|
2017-12-06 16:29:25

presumably from the same area?

What new editor xD
|
2017-12-06 16:44:56
|
<Thiemo_WMDE>
|
More precise: Are you aware of any user scripts/gadgets that already interact with it?
|
2017-12-06 16:46:08
|
<andre__>
|
For context: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CodeMirror exists, and hence also a "Wikitext syntax highlighting" beta feature that anyone can enable
|
2017-12-06 16:46:22
|
<andre__>
|
no idea about interaction examples though
|
2017-12-06 16:48:11
|
<Niharika>
|
Thiemo_WMDE: wikEd "interacts" with it. i.e. everything blows up.
|
2017-12-06 16:51:12
|
<Thiemo_WMDE>
|
Uh. Like intentional?

Niharika: wikEd blows up whenever anything interacts with it
|
2017-12-06 16:58:49
|
<Niharika>
|
Heh, probably.
|
2017-12-06 16:59:06
|
<Niharika>
|
Thiemo_WMDE: No, not intentional. I don't think any gadgets that interact with it as such.
|
2017-12-06 17:05:08

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T182213 has an unknown number of instances to replace in MW core/extensions. I assume its ok to say that part of the task is that student has to find instances of the bad pattern in our code base to fix (as in, I don't have to find them all myself)
|
2017-12-06 19:13:55

<bawolff>

I've never been a gci mentor before, so let me know if any of the tasks are inapropriate, or if I screwed it up in any way :)

Hello. I've a qusetion. Is it possible for admins to remove local wikis with zero edit from (Global account information) per user request?
|
2017-12-06 19:33:05
|
<Zppix>
|
Technically, probably, its never been done so i dont think they will do it
|
2017-12-06 19:33:59
|
<andre__>
|
Naeem2017, you mean detaching global user accounts? Or not displaying local accounts on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Username if Edit count = 0?
|
2017-12-06 19:34:05
|
<andre__>
|
In both cases: What's the use case?
|
2017-12-06 19:34:22
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
howdy. I see wikimedia is using bitergia. how do you folks feel about it? has it been useful?
|

(also hi :D )

Hey Ryan_Lane !
|
2017-12-06 19:35:16
|
<Naeem2017>
|
@Zppix: thanks for the info
|
2017-12-06 19:35:49
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
I mostly want it as an actionable tool. for instance, to see a list of github PRs or issues that have been opened, but not responded to
|
2017-12-06 19:36:24
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
or at least know which repos have the most open issues/PRs without responses
|
2017-12-06 19:36:29
|
<Naeem2017>
|
@andre I mean from https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth when any user local wiki(s) with Edit count =0
|
2017-12-06 19:36:30
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
(I really need to hire a community manager :D )
|
2017-12-06 19:36:49
|
<andre__>
|
Ryan_Lane, it's useful for some stuff but to make it really useful (and advertise it more widely) I'm waiting for one DB sync issue to get fixed. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T179820
|
2017-12-06 19:37:05
|
<andre__>
|
e.g. we use it to get a list of new developers who provided their first patch in Gerrit
|
2017-12-06 19:37:51
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
is that to make sure you're responsive to their patches?
|
2017-12-06 19:38:30
|
<andre__>
|
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics is the canonical page but that's more for describing functionality and its UI, probably nothing new for you
|
2017-12-06 19:38:30
|
<andre__>
|
no idea about GitHub as we don't use that backend in our instance
|
2017-12-06 19:39:05
|
<andre__>
|
sighs
|
2017-12-06 19:39:23
|
<andre__>
|
that's the long-term plan. But we're not there yet because that data is not automatically updated yet :-/
|
2017-12-06 19:39:47
|
<andre__>
|
plus it's a custom dashboard so the maintenance level is unclear. https://wikimedia.biterg.io/app/kibana#/dashboard/C_Gerrit_Demo
|
2017-12-06 19:39:52
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
are you running the grimoirelab stuff yourself, or is bitergia doing it for you?
|
2017-12-06 19:40:11
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
I'm really hoping for something fully hosted :)
|
2017-12-06 19:40:13
|
<bawolff>
|
omg, a wild Ryan_Lane appears :)
|
2017-12-06 19:40:29

<Ryan_Lane>
|
👋
|
2017-12-06 19:40:29
|
<andre__>
|
Ryan_Lane, they are hosting it for us. There is a contract between WMF and Bitergia.
|
2017-12-06 19:40:33
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
cool
|
2017-12-06 19:40:58
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
thankfully everything we have for this is public and on github, so i think it should be relatively straightforward
|
2017-12-06 19:41:03
|
<Naeem2017>
|
@andre consider the scenario when users worngly click a local wikipedia project that they will never edit but it's listed under their Global account with Info fo no particular reason
|
2017-12-06 19:41:23
|
<andre__>
|
Ryan_Lane: I have admin rights (and Quim as a fallback) so in theory we could do wild things (if we manage to find time to understand things a bit more)
|
2017-12-06 19:41:43
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
andre__: do you have any docs on metrics you're actively wanting to track/move?
|
2017-12-06 19:41:44
|
<andre__>
|
Naeem2017, and the issue created by that is...?
|
2017-12-06 19:42:18
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
I have metrics I know right now I want to move, but it's always good to see what others are doing :)
|
2017-12-06 19:42:18
|
<andre__>
|
Ryan_Lane, currently the most important ones we focus on are more or less listed in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Technical_Collaboration/Metrics#Onboarding_New_Developers
|
2017-12-06 19:42:49
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
awesome :)
|
2017-12-06 19:43:38
|
<Naeem2017>
|
andre, a lenghty information page with zero edits local wikis. I see the info page should focus on the actual wikis with contributions except of course login wiki
|
2017-12-06 19:43:47
|
<andre__>
|
Ryan_Lane: I mean, there are enough ideas around. The usual problem is "what makes sense". :P And that's the hard part... https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/chaoss/start and https://chaoss.community/ are related.
|
2017-12-06 19:44:12
|
<andre__>
|
Naeem2017, sort the table by "Edit count". One click - problem solved.
|
2017-12-06 19:44:43
|
<andre__>
|
Ryan_Lane: I usually track everything related to wikimedia.biterg.io on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/analytics-tech-community-metrics/ but that's a wild mix of many different things.
|
2017-12-06 19:44:53
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
cool :)
|
2017-12-06 19:45:26
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
at this point I'm mostly just trying to see what our current community looks like across our projects, and I know we have a problem with responsiveness, so that's what I'm focused on
|
2017-12-06 19:45:51
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
need to make the community healthy before I can grow it :)
|
2017-12-06 19:46:28
|
<Ryan_Lane>
|
thanks for the help!

2017-12-06 19:46:46

2017-12-06 19:47:43

<Naeem2017>
|
andre. Thank you for your help. My point is about the logic of the page not a problem, it is an idea which I don't know where to post, so I thought to share it here.
|
2017-12-06 19:48:14

<Hauskatze>

2017-12-06 19:48:54

mutante: please note that I scheduled that for tomorrows Puppet SWAT so if that's already done I can remove that from the Deployments page.
|
2017-12-06 19:49:02

Danke :D

Hauskatze: well, i ran puppet on cobalt (gerrit prod) but i did not do anything else to "its-phabricator" or somehting
|
2017-12-06 19:49:36
|
<andre__>
|
Naeem2017: basically https://mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug but as I said, I don't see a problem description, just one potential solution to an undefined problem, and I already offered an existing solution :P

so I guess I'll close as resolved and wait for the complaints

it's so literally "be bold"

<Oflameo>
|
I just saw the https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting Thread, but I am 174 hours late.
|
2017-12-06 22:04:06
|
<Oflameo>
|
I am building a directory on mediawiki at https://www.cyanpages.info.
|
2017-12-06 22:07:23
|
<Oflameo>
|
It is a directory of all of the contact information and responsiblities of every office in municipal government with an extendable convient mediawiki interface.
|
2017-12-06 22:10:33
|
<Oflameo>
|
I am having trouble trying to make the data hierarchical and naming pages uniquely.
|
2017-12-06 22:14:52
|
<bawolff>
|
Might be a case where semantic mediawiki would be useful
|
2017-12-06 22:15:06
|
<bawolff>
|
or wikibase even
|
2017-12-06 22:15:59
|
<bawolff>
|
Oflameo: you are not late, just really early for the next one!
|
2017-12-06 22:16:40
|
<Oflameo>
|
It may be possible that semantic mediawiki would be useful but I never seen it in action. I don't know what to expect.
|
2017-12-06 22:17:45
|
<bawolff>
|
I dont know much about it either, it just sounded like something that might be a good fit
|
2017-12-06 22:18:08
|
<Oflameo>
|
There is one exception. The Free Software Directory is said to use it. https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page
|
2017-12-06 22:19:31
|
<Oflameo>
|
I did email RMS about the project and the fact that it was using Mediawiki but he didn't say anything about semantic mediawiki.
|
2017-12-06 22:21:03
|
<bawolff>
|
The semantic mediawiki community is rather separate from the vanilla mediawiki community. The two groups dont talk to each other that much
|
2017-12-06 22:21:52
|
<bawolff>
|
mediawiki tends to be best with mostly unstructured data, with maybe organization provided by loose collection of categories
|
2017-12-06 22:22:56
|
<bawolff>
|
once you get into worrying about unique page names and hierarchy, semantic mediawiki, pageforms, cargo type extensions may be the thing to look into
|
2017-12-06 22:23:52
|
<bawolff>
|
if you want fully structured with very little free form, id reccomend wikibase (http://wikiba.se ) which is the software powering wikidata.org
|
2017-12-06 22:27:06
|
<Oflameo>
|
I have a project that should work well with vanilla mediawiki. It is at https://www.bmablacklist.com/index.php/Main_Page. Each document will be a company and their terms of service.
|
2017-12-06 22:27:15
|
<addshore>
|
legoktm: yes, we should fox that
|
2017-12-06 22:27:22
|
<addshore>
|
For mediawiki and extensions
|
2017-12-06 22:27:34
|
<addshore>
|
I put a patch up for extensions earlier, but forgot about core tests.....
|
2017-12-06 22:27:47
|
<addshore>
|
Not at a laptop right now
|
2017-12-06 22:33:07
|
<Oflameo>
|
bawolff I think I will see how far I can go today with mediawiki and then email all three extention developers and ask them how they would do if they were in my position.
|
2017-12-06 22:55:51
|
<paladox>
|
mutante it should restart in gerrit automatically so gerrit dosent need a restart :)
|
2017-12-06 22:56:37
|
<mutante>
|
"it" = icinga ?
|
2017-12-06 22:56:52
|
<mutante>
|
the keyword for that is "event handlers"
|
2017-12-06 22:57:02
|
<mutante>
|
icinga can run any command you want after a state change on any check
|
2017-12-06 22:57:26
|
<mutante>
|
but that's probably not good for prod
|
2017-12-06 22:59:00
|
<paladox>
|
mutante not sure what you mean?
|
2017-12-06 22:59:49
|
<mutante>
|
paladox: not sure what _you_ mean then :)
|
2017-12-06 23:00:03
|
<mutante>
|
you said something should restart gerrit
|
