[21:06:14] duesen: i'm not sure i fully understand your question. but i think you're right. [21:06:35] duesen: *page* content language affects variants, but not the other way around [21:07:34] duesen: that is, language converter syntax is parsed on all pages, but not actually processed unless the page content language is set to a language with variants *and* at least one of those variants is enabled *and* languageconverter in general is enabled. [22:15:23] CindyCicaleseWMF, James_F: My brain is vaguely remembering working a bit with one or both of you several years ago on some strawdog outline of library/component/project support levels. I'm remembering a page on mw.o where a bunch of folks were trying to work out what gold/silver/bronze tiers would be. Sound familiar? [22:15:45] Vaguely. [22:16:03] Extension recommendations good standard something something? [22:16:24] * James_F searches. [22:16:42] there was https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Best_practices_for_extensions but I'm remembering something a bit different [22:17:50] not https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Developing_libraries either. :( [22:18:59] There's https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code/Gold_standard which Frances worked on. [22:19:34] It might have been re-written a bunch? [22:20:19] it was kind of along those lines, yes, but not their Outreachy project [22:20:34] maybe I imagined it all ;) [22:20:45] A shared delusion, if so. [22:21:17] my imagination is that it was working towards a contract of sorts for 3rd party support and FOSS in general [22:21:27] Hmm. [22:22:21] * bd808 wonders if it was actually a gdoc... [22:25:36] I'll stop hunting and let my subconscious think about it. Sorry if I sniped you into a wiki crawl James_F [22:26:16] No worries. :-) [22:27:12] For context, I was thinking about this because a phab task brought up the old idea of criteria for publishing on Packagist under the wikimedia/ or mediawiki/ namespaces. And that brought back a lot of unfinished thoughts from FY14/15 [22:27:42] * James_F nods. [23:01:42] bd808: Maybe https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184648? [23:04:08] omg CindyCicaleseWMF I think that may be the project or at least a hoped for continuation of it. [23:04:57] that's the extensions aspect for sure [23:14:10] I'll just lob this out here and see if anyone bites -- T253079 [23:14:11] T253079: Document how to get new packages published under the 'wikimedia' and 'mediawiki' namespaces on Packagist - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T253079
