[00:01:26] <{cary|afk}> Interesting talk on the Arabic page [00:26:30] nkomura: new ref toolbar enabled [00:27:14] yay! [00:27:21] i missed it [00:27:35] k I'll see you guys at Trevor's place a little after 9 [00:27:37] will it work for both the old and the new toolbar? [00:27:52] see you pdhanda! [00:28:10] nkomura: yup, loads old version for people who disable everything, loads vector compatible version for IE users, and uses dialog version for all the others. [00:28:35] that's great! [00:41:05] <{cary|afk}> Trevor's place? [00:41:28] yeah, we decided to be at one place for the deployment [00:41:35] trevor is kindly offering his place [00:41:41] ;) [01:03:57] <{cary|afk}> Vietnamese and Serbian uploaded [01:04:10] congrats! [01:04:39] <{cary|afk}> I'm just gonna do Hebrew now because it's special [01:04:40] {cary|afk}: you can slow down as we still have time for rolling out logos for non-English [01:05:01] you have been non-stop all day today [01:05:08] i'm going offline now [01:05:12] <{cary|afk}> okay [01:05:20] ciao [01:05:27] <{cary|afk}> Yeah, the Arabic script question is ongoing [01:06:56] good luck [04:41:38] RoanKattouw: you up yet? [04:41:44] Yes [04:41:47] good morning [04:41:52] we're having a launch party [04:41:56] Yay [04:42:05] Where at? [04:42:05] Howie, Priyanka, Naoko are at my house [04:42:10] Michael is on his way [04:42:13] ya'll try not to break the wiki, 'kay? I don't want us to have to start this thing over again. [04:42:48] and if it goes well, i'll buy a round of drinks this weekend or sumpin :) [04:43:04] *RoanKattouw grabs breakfast [04:43:21] we're just setting up at the kitchen table [04:44:48] we have cream puffs, strawberries and cocacola [04:45:05] stroopwafel? [04:45:43] hmmm - none of those... [04:45:52] sadness. [04:46:03] i had a stroopwafel smothered in nutella the other day though... that was really good... [04:46:41] *guillom is going to bed; have fun breaking the site [04:46:48] *night [04:49:20] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej3Szj6WcCY [04:50:49] http://eiximenis.wikimedia.org/VectorFixes0512 [04:50:51] TrevorParscal: WANT. Tomasz and I agreed to both bring a component of that to Gdansk [04:54:47] can we review the bug fixes on the prototype? [04:54:55] hi mdale [04:55:04] hi nkomura [04:55:13] *RoanKattouw updates prototype [04:59:45] hi mdale [04:59:55] hello [05:01:29] let's test [05:01:30] http://prototype.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia.org/Main_Page [05:03:56] nkomura: on that page context is not defined on context.fn.restoreStuffForIE(); line 1515 after clicking reference then clicking "cancel" [05:04:18] Ah [05:04:28] TrevorParscal fixed that for the link dialog only then [05:04:36] *RoanKattouw apologizes for causing that bug in the first place [05:04:37] yay [05:04:58] RoanKattouw: oh, that copy-paste mistake of yours lives on elsewhere? [05:05:07] Yeah, there were two instances, you fixed one [05:05:15] do you want to grab the 2nd one? [05:06:41] Sure [05:09:36] so i see a bug on IE8… if you click halfway through the edit text area and then try and then click on "Embed a file" button from the toolbar, it always inserts it on the top of the text area [05:09:58] I thought I'd fixed that [05:10:40] wait.. i was not logged in [05:10:47] so i am seeing the iframe [05:10:57] wait let me log in and turn off the iframe [05:11:03] Non-logged in users see the iframe by default on prototype? [05:11:07] That doesn't sound good [05:11:17] yeah [05:12:58] RoanKattouw: yeah, I'm seeing the toc but not template collapsing as anon [05:13:43] TrevorParscal: Any objections to just merging UsabilityInitiative to trunk state? This merge looks like it'll get messy [05:13:45] i'm going to investigate [05:13:54] i do not object [05:14:09] as per the list I was making, that's essentially what we were building piece by piece [05:14:20] Yes [05:14:21] lets do that, and then update the deployment prototype [05:15:20] is there the exact time scheduled? [05:15:52] TrevorParscal: No need to update the deployment prototype, it already runs trunk UI [05:15:58] RoanKattouw: PrototypeSettings had $wgDefaultUserOptions['usenavigabletoc'] = 1; [05:16:02] i just commented it out [05:16:11] OK [05:16:29] enhydra: sometime between now and later :P [05:18:47] so, I have some more time to think on [[m:Petition to Jimbo]]-like page about the logo [05:20:22] RoanKattouw: did you see the new section loading spinner stuff? [05:20:46] Yes, I saw the rev [05:20:50] Didn't see it in action [05:21:19] any other bugs we need to verify? [05:26:05] oops [05:26:20] I left my browser running on a page retrieving the list of all cached objects inside a single squid [05:26:30] after 10 mins found that firefox is completely unresponsive ;) [05:26:34] haha [05:27:08] hahaha [05:27:13] OK, merges done, shall I push to test? [05:28:36] everything is looking good [05:28:43] let's push to test.wikipedia.org [05:30:47] Done [05:32:45] and the config? [05:33:06] vector and the toolbar as default [05:33:12] and dialogs [05:33:26] and turn collapsible navigation and simple search on [05:33:44] unleash the code! [05:33:54] muwahahaha [05:34:33] ^5 [05:34:52] hi Philippe! [05:34:57] hi five! [05:35:20] TrevorParscal: Will do config, gimme a sec [05:35:25] For what it matters, ya'll, my ex - who is computer "challenged" - thinks vector rocks. [05:35:45] Whee [05:38:05] TrevorParscal: Config done [05:38:38] yay! [05:38:55] beautiful [05:39:56] RoanKattouw: we need to purge the cache for test [05:39:56] Can someone point me to the new enwiki logo please? [05:40:02] we're getting mixed skins - of course [05:40:08] as anon users - of course [05:40:22] TrevorParscal: You can't "purge the cache for test", it doesn't work that way [05:40:28] Append ?foo=bar or some such to your URLs [05:40:45] see, this is why we need you Roan [05:41:49] yay for developers who think like operations people [05:42:38] Philippe: Where's the new enwiki logo at? [05:42:50] Just a sec, lemme find it :) [05:43:22] mark: When Philippe finds the logo, shall we test the logo switch on testwiki? [05:43:32] yeah [05:43:39] ok - so with the PrefStats stuff, we need to also make sure we are capturing the number of people opting out [05:43:43] aka, skin=monobook [05:43:49] table sorting is not inserted [05:43:56] i'm going to check back prototype [05:43:57] http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_official_marks [05:43:57] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/2/20/Wikipedia-logo-v2-en_SVG.svg [05:44:39] Philippe: PNG version? [05:44:59] checking :) [05:45:07] that wasn't my thing but I think i know where [05:45:14] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.png [05:45:45] my bad, i was in preview [05:46:18] RoanKattouw: will that work for you? [05:46:33] Philippe: The logo is no longer square (135x155 instead of 135x135), is that intended? [05:46:52] not sure. do you need me to call Jay? [05:47:37] I like how we do PR before thinking about technical details these days ;-) [05:48:06] and there he is [05:48:08] Philippe: No it's OK [05:48:09] n/m, hanging up the phone [05:48:10] hiya [05:48:15] The Commons logo is also 135x155 [05:48:17] jayansonw: I was just calling you :) [05:48:31] i saw [05:48:32] what's up [05:48:36] hey jay [05:48:54] RoanKattouw says the logo is no longer square... intentional? 135X155 instead of 135X135 [05:49:01] Seems OK though [05:49:03] RoanKattouw: can we get simplesearch enabled on test [05:49:05] The Commons logo is also 135x155 [05:49:10] TrevorParscal: On its way [05:49:12] i have no idea. i don't know w hat the original orientation was [05:49:53] it was never square [05:50:02] it was always taller than wide [05:50:13] i think that's correct [05:51:53] OK, so RoanKattouw, no problem then? [05:52:04] No, it's fine [05:52:08] Sorry about that Jay :) [05:52:14] I -think- it's random that i just started watching this at home... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_Toughest_Fixes [05:52:15] np [05:52:26] can someone hit me with a link? is it test.wikipedia.org? [05:52:36] TrevorParscal: SimpleSearch enabled. Will also be enabled on Commons after rollout [05:52:37] Yes [05:52:47] Gonna set up the new enwiki logo on test now [05:52:53] http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page [05:53:27] ty [05:53:28] cool [05:54:14] Logo switch done on test [05:54:22] You may need to be logged in to see it, due to caching [05:56:05] jayansonw: what's your impression on the new logo? [05:56:14] clearly i love it [05:56:23] may i not be alone... but do you mean on the test wiki? [05:57:02] ohhhhh [05:57:05] i see it! [05:57:09] it's working for me... [05:57:18] Yay [05:57:43] nice and punchy on the new background :) [05:57:55] i was worried it might be light, but contrast is good [05:58:31] i think it's a bit too dark actually - but.. it will probably grow on me [05:58:34] it looks a little dark on monobook [05:58:43] i like that [05:58:49] because it's light generally [05:59:06] but tweaking (x270, eek) is an option [06:00:07] OK so [06:00:11] Are we ready to go live? [06:00:21] yes [06:00:39] looking good to me [06:00:42] that's all? [06:00:45] good from here [06:01:05] *RoanKattouw asks nkomura for green light [06:01:08] http://wiki.wikked.net/wiki/Wikimedia_statistics/Daily [06:01:17] we are ready! [06:01:29] OK [06:01:30] mark, can we proceed? [06:01:38] thumbs up [06:01:39] I will be scapping out the software update first [06:02:06] Can I tell folks in the help channels etc that we're starting, or should we wait on that? [06:02:19] they'll find out soon enough, won't they? ;) [06:02:20] We're not starting the switchover itself just yet [06:02:25] Just pushing out software updates now [06:02:41] mark, it's polite to give 'em the old "heads-up" :) [06:02:55] but i'll wait for someone to tell me [06:03:16] mark: Bleh, we really need to fix permissions so running scap as non-root doesn't flood your screen with permission denied errors [06:03:23] Philippe: you can give folks heads-up [06:03:28] Or rewrite scap :) [06:03:32] Thanks, nkomura :) [06:03:34] yeah, rewrite scap [06:03:36] Yeah we're switching soon anyway [06:03:40] any issues I need to fix for you now? [06:04:06] mark: Not really, it's just that scap floods my screen so badly I don't really have a chance of spotting any real errors [06:04:14] So I won't really know how successful my scap is [06:04:22] ok [06:04:39] *mark opens a pack of M&Ms [06:04:41] Software update done [06:05:01] yay! [06:05:08] k [06:07:31] Time to heat up my taco [06:07:31] central notice texft: "Notice something different? We've made a few improvements to Wikipedia. Learn more." [06:07:36] hi stuwest [06:07:42] check out the facebook page updates [06:08:00] *stuwest is like a kid on Christmas morning eager to open presents! [06:08:04] howief: centralnotice? Thought we were going with sitenotice? [06:08:18] hi stuwest! [06:08:23] welcome to the usability channel [06:08:26] :_ [06:08:27] sorry [06:08:29] :) [06:08:33] *Philippe waves at stu :) [06:08:48] thanks. long time listener, first time caller. love the show. [06:09:12] I have now enabled SimpleSearch on all wikis that have Vector as their default skin [06:09:50] the spinner is visible tho [06:10:34] RoanKattouw: kind reminder on collapsible left nav ;) [06:10:53] Ah yes [06:11:00] I think I have that as well [06:12:49] so what now? [06:12:58] shall we then? [06:13:15] Prodego: we are about to switch the default UI of en.wp [06:13:33] can we do that quickly so I can sleep :) [06:13:51] mark, nkomura: I've got the settings change ready to go, waiting for your green light [06:14:06] go ahead [06:14:08] i'm good to proceed [06:14:08] central notice is ready [06:14:19] OK here goes [06:14:35] Trevor: sitenotice? I'm sorry, but want to be sure [06:14:45] no skin! [06:14:46] central notice [06:14:58] I thought we were using sitenotice.... and giving centralnotice back? [06:14:58] http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NoticeTemplate/view&template=VectorChanged [06:15:02] Done [06:15:13] Proceeding to update logo [06:15:34] looks good [06:15:37] (clapping) [06:15:39] I mean, I'm in favor of using centralnotice, but thought we had that meeting about it and such..... [06:15:45] let me know when I can start purging pages [06:15:58] probably now, since we're updating the logo in place... [06:16:16] *mark starts dumping squid caches [06:16:28] mark: Yes, now [06:16:30] Go bonkers [06:16:52] that'll take a little while [06:16:57] woo hoo - effect seen [06:16:57] um [06:17:03] we're updating the logo in place> [06:17:04] ? [06:17:06] Yes [06:17:16] we are changing the path [06:17:18] that's crucial [06:17:21] Why? [06:17:24] the path of the logo must change [06:17:30] what for? [06:17:39] when do we see the new logo? [06:17:41] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.png [06:17:47] nkomura: In a minute [06:17:47] for consistent naming [06:17:58] the new logos will all have the same naming [06:18:01] no more Wiki.png [06:18:16] it must point to "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.png" [06:18:24] where were you 30 mins ago [06:18:34] When we discussed exactly this over in the other channel [06:18:39] OK you know what [06:18:46] I'm gonna reupload the new one on top of Wiki.png [06:18:51] Then, when we do the rest of the logo switches [06:18:56] the spinner is not working ... [06:19:02] We change $stdlogo to point to the new naming scheme [06:19:04] nkomura: Where? [06:19:15] that sounds like a good idea [06:19:23] the spinner for sp.ch [06:19:37] TrevorParscal: I thought you fixed the specialchars spinner? [06:19:38] however you want to do it, just letting you know - the plan is to use the new logo path [06:19:48] OK, we will end up doing that eventually [06:19:50] But not today [06:19:57] the SimpleSearch is the older version [06:20:03] so is the toolbar [06:20:26] RoanKattouw: check the 'Take me back' link [06:20:30] i got this error when i tried to "take me bacck" [06:20:31] (SQL query hidden) [06:20:31] from within function "PrefSwitchSurvey::save". Database returned error "1146: Table 'enwiki.prefswitch_survey' doesn't exist (10.0.6.26)". [06:20:40] "Database returned error "1146: Table 'enwiki.prefswitch_survey' doesn't exist (10.0.6.26)"." [06:20:58] Ouch [06:21:03] *RoanKattouw fixes [06:21:32] Prodego: Try again [06:21:48] (and howief) [06:22:01] well I actually was relaying for someone [06:22:10] I used the prefs to change back :P [06:22:31] ahhh, you're one of THOSE PEOPLE [06:22:43] ;) [06:22:47] yeah the take me back works now [06:22:49] I realize there are some fires being fought here, but the logo path thing, why are we not changing it to the new path? [06:22:55] I must have missed the reason [06:22:56] WTF, reupload seems broken [06:23:32] *RoanKattouw disables mvEmbed [06:24:09] RoanKattouw: take me back works! [06:24:36] Logo switch complete [06:24:50] TrevorParscal: It's to do with $stdLogo, the standard logo naming scheme [06:24:54] We wanna change that all at once [06:25:05] logo is visible on my side [06:25:12] does that mean we will have to do another cache purge at that time? [06:25:18] no [06:25:20] Yes and no [06:25:24] since the logo looks the same ;) [06:25:26] mark: if you are offering to rewrite all my js and css for vector... :P [06:25:29] eventually all pages will use the new path [06:25:30] Yes, for all the other wikis, but we'll be doing that anyway [06:25:40] No for enwiki, because the two URLs point to the same image [06:26:00] We could've changed $wgLogo for enwiki at this time but we didn't [06:26:20] that's what I was saying we should do [06:26:24] is it too late? [06:26:28] is this important? [06:26:32] yes [06:26:32] yes [06:26:36] why? [06:26:49] we need to take advantage of the cache purge so the path is set to the new logo [06:27:10] but WHY do we need the new path, and why now? [06:27:11] the old logos and new logos on commons are organized separately for the communications purposes [06:27:24] so there are links to the old logo which is now overwritten? [06:27:25] in PR? [06:27:43] it should have never been overwritten [06:27:44] Where old logo means [[en:File:Wiki.png]], not something on Commons [06:28:00] Would anyone care to explain *why*? [06:28:13] why is this an issue? [06:28:21] it complicates our configuration [06:28:24] I'm simply relaying what has been decided on at about 3 meetings [06:28:38] ...then that should've been communicated then [06:28:39] there are several parties involved in this which I'm representing [06:28:49] Then surely you can present at least one tangible reason [06:28:57] correct, i'm sorry if that's ball was dropped, I take the blame [06:29:11] but now I'm communicating it, so can we try and fix this? [06:29:26] can it wait until the rest of the switchovers? if not, why not? [06:29:34] I'm perfectly willing to fix this, I just wonder what it's good for [06:29:41] comment from another channel: Why is "contact us" displaying above the rest of the links at the far bottom. [06:29:43] All I hear is very vague reasons [06:29:52] if we wait for the other switch-overs, are we going to purge the cache at that time? [06:29:56] we want to introduce a systematic path for english so the rest of the language follows the same pattern [06:29:56] no [06:30:03] then, we need to do it now [06:30:05] Philippe: On which wiki? [06:30:07] TrevorParscal: pages with the old path will disappear over time [06:30:10] enwp [06:30:17] so after a few weeks, pretty much everything will be updated [06:30:19] but not instantly [06:30:42] but how long, some pages get updated very infrequently, meanwhile if someone changes the Wiki.png image, it will affect some pages, but not all [06:31:00] Wiki.png updates are instant [06:31:02] for all pages [06:31:10] if the path is set to Wiki.png [06:31:18] but if we set the new path, without purging caches [06:31:27] then some pages will point to one, while others point to the other [06:31:30] yes [06:31:38] and since it's the same image and thus looks the same, why is that a problem? [06:31:48] within days, or weeks at most, everything will be on the new path [06:32:14] so, I'm telling you why we want this [06:32:20] why do you want to not do this? [06:32:25] it sounds like it's a simple change [06:32:39] and you are second guessing the decision, so there must be some motivation on your part [06:32:58] yes, because it complicates our configuration, since the wikis need to be split [06:33:14] whereas your argument seems vague, you haven't provided an argument for why we need to use the new path immediately [06:33:24] it looks the same for all users, regardless of the path :) [06:33:39] looks the same !== is the same [06:33:40] and it'll be the way you want it soon enough [06:33:42] Can you name one tangible problem with not changing the path right now as opposed to changing it later? [06:33:52] yeah that would be nice [06:33:55] it's 2 images, not 1, we want 1 [06:34:03] It's a temporary solution [06:34:24] We are moving to the new path, just not immediately [06:34:33] RoanKattouw: famous last words :o [06:34:34] we don't want to have to monitor both images forever [06:34:40] you don't need to [06:34:41] I guess what I not getting is, what is wrong or broken if we let the path change slowly over days/a few weeks [06:34:44] in a few weeks, the old path will be gone [06:34:57] pages don't exist in squid caches forever [06:34:58] *what I am not [06:35:05] what's the expiration then? [06:35:08] mikelifeguard: Yeah, something about temporary solutions becoming permanent :P [06:35:30] like I said, in the order of a few weeks [06:35:58] isn't there an actual timeout? [06:36:04] i'll check [06:37:15] still getting reports of problems using the "take me back" feature [06:37:26] absolute maximum is 31 days [06:37:28] Philippe: database issue? [06:37:28] strike that, he's now saying it was 10 minutes ago [06:37:35] but I don't think any page survies nearly that long [06:37:46] survives* [06:37:50] he's just only now getting around to reporting it, naoko, so I think it's the fix that you already did. [06:38:06] (good) [06:38:20] and when are you planing on changing the path? [06:38:22] what date? [06:38:29] when we change all the other wikis to vector [06:38:39] Philippe: enwiki is using some customization to add that contact us link, could you ask where that customization is at? [06:38:45] so 2 weeks from now [06:38:50] RoanKattouw: I wouldn't even know who to ask. [06:38:51] is that 2 weeks from now? [06:38:56] yes [06:38:57] what day? [06:39:07] first week of june [06:39:12] I'll be on holiday... [06:39:15] I thought there was some vacation [06:39:16] yeah that [06:39:29] i'm on holiday until then, starting friday [06:39:30] TrevorParscal: Why are we using CentralNotice for the "noticed something different" notice? It will show for everyone with user lang == en , regardless of wiki [06:39:34] or - saturday [06:39:38] And won't show for users on enwiki with user lang != en [06:39:39] I'm not seeing any notices on WP yet... [06:39:41] ok, we'll see about that later then [06:39:52] RoanKattouw: we're supposed to be using sitenotice. [06:39:58] RoanKattouw: we can change it to sitenotice [06:39:59] Yes we are [06:40:01] there's no issue there [06:40:40] OK so let's [06:40:57] i have no experience with sitenotice [06:41:03] TrevorParscal: Can you get me the wikitext of that notice? [06:41:06] i just adjusted the centralnotice so it didn't show the wrong mesage [06:41:16] It's simple, [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]] and [[MediaWiki:Anonnotice]] [06:41:26] The system isn't nearly as complex as CentralNotice [06:41:28] Philippe: could you help us do the sitenotice? [06:41:39] http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NoticeTemplate/view&template=VectorChanged [06:41:40] yeah, give me the text please and i'll do it [06:41:46] doing it now [06:41:48] RoanKattouw and mark: i understand it causes the extra step to introduce the new path to the logo [06:41:50] Philippe: You do Sitenotice, I'll do anonnotice [06:41:56] once that's ready to go, I will turn of the centralnotice [06:42:01] but we do not have a concrete date on the next deployment [06:42:05] on it, Roan [06:42:25] and TrevorParscal and mark are away for the next 3-4 wks [06:42:35] Philippe: You have to swap out the message placeholders (reminder) [06:42:35] so i'd rather do it right tonight [06:42:36] Philippe: "Notice something different? We've made a few improvements to Wikipedia. Learn more." [06:42:50] than depending on the future deployment which is not planned yet [06:43:27] OK you know what [06:43:30] RoanKattouw: Not sure what you mean, but I took a sitenotice live. [06:43:31] :) [06:43:53] Ah yeah [06:44:00] I had copypasted the CentralNotice, then realized it wouldn't work [06:44:01] looks good! [06:44:05] Updating anonnotice now [06:44:28] Ah, Roan, yeah, that wouldn't do it. :) Gotta add the wikilinks. [06:44:30] RoanKattouw: btw - we are still running the old version of WikiEditor and Vector extensions [06:44:31] TrevorParscal: Please kill the CentralNotice [06:44:46] TrevorParscal: What makes you say that? [06:44:57] i'm getting the old version [06:45:00] so is everyone else here [06:45:05] centralnotice is killed [06:45:07] Gotta love Calcey's timing: [06:45:09] wikibugs_> (NEW) Insert Link : Opera not work for Enter after selecting a suggested page - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23496 major; Normal; MediaWiki extensions: UsabilityInitiative; (wikibugs) [06:45:55] TrevorParscal: Try again? [06:46:17] From one of our grumpy types: "all in all... it's a good change" [06:46:26] working for simplesearch now [06:46:52] http://wiki.wikked.net/wiki/Wikimedia_statistics/Hourly [06:47:27] that's me retrieving the lists of objects ;) [06:47:53] mark: http://www.nedworks.org/~mark/reqstats/backendstats-hourly.png looks broken [06:48:04] ah yeah [06:48:04] (look at the date in the bottom left corner) [06:48:06] let me fix that [06:48:54] Are we purging stuff already? [06:49:04] not yet [06:49:05] about to [06:49:12] so if you need to do any changes, do them now :) [06:49:18] mark: http://ganglia.wikimedia.org/graph.php?g=cpu_report&z=medium&c=Kennisnet%20text%20squids&m=load_one&r=hour&s=descending&hc=3&mc=3&st=1273733372 [06:49:29] can we introduce a new path to the logo? [06:49:30] ;0 [06:49:32] ;) [06:49:36] graph fixed [06:49:43] I guess we could [06:49:47] logo path plz? [06:50:03] mark: New logo path, yes or no? [06:50:16] let's get past this and do it [06:50:35] Meaning? [06:50:40] yes, change the path [06:50:45] OK [06:50:55] On it [06:51:08] *huzzah* [06:52:02] Why's the centralnotice still showing for logged in? [06:52:22] TrevorParscal thinks it a chache [06:52:34] There is the CentralNotice cache, right? [06:52:36] oh... no tomasz to work his magic, huh. [06:52:41] OK. that makes sense. [06:52:46] yes, it can be purged, Tomasz does it often for me [06:53:12] the system load looks swimming [06:53:39] just wait until we start purging ;) [06:53:40] TrevorParscal: It can, but only by a root [06:53:44] thanks to mark's effort in 4 x cache capcity [06:53:53] we've not started yet naoko ;) [06:54:02] mark: CentralNotice is independent, it's got its own cache that needs to be regenerated on hume by a root [06:54:11] ok [06:54:18] Please run http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/CentralNotice#Servers [06:54:26] got it [06:54:28] (the hume part of that) [06:54:34] RoanKattouw: nag -> r66324 [06:54:45] Yeah saw it, on it [06:54:50] I see [06:55:13] I was going to look at the code, but I never would have found this [06:55:35] *jayansonw wishes he could debug, or something [06:56:00] it's running [06:57:01] jayansonw: Debug what? [06:57:09] just stuff, you know [06:57:15] what you all are doing [06:57:20] but ignore me. carry on [06:58:46] TrevorParscal: Done [06:59:02] thank you [06:59:05] looking perfect now [06:59:38] Meh for some reason the CentralNotice is still showing on mediawiki.org . Maybe it's client-side cache [06:59:47] Yes, it was [07:01:27] mark: Is it just me or are the Squids not breaking a sweat? [07:01:31] folks, can someone help me add just two links to this page soon? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UsabilityInitiativePrefSwitch&from=Main_Page [07:01:36] RoanKattouw: they're not purging yet [07:01:44] will be in a minute [07:01:45] we want to add links to the vector and logo blog posts [07:01:48] Oh "it's running now" was the centralnotice thin [07:01:53] (thanks for running that BTW) [07:01:53] yep [07:02:06] jayansonw: I can help you with that [07:02:14] just working on a rate limiter for the amount of purges per second [07:02:14] In fact [07:02:22] great - we'll stand by until the 2nd blog post is up [07:02:33] mark: No rush, just wondering :) [07:02:45] did we change the thumbnail size for image pages? [07:02:55] started puring now [07:02:59] TrevorParscal: yes, a few months ago for enwiki [07:03:04] l [07:03:06] *k [07:04:00] could i also put a request somewhere to update this bad boy? http://wikipedia.org/ [07:04:11] yes [07:04:11] purging will take approx 3 hours [07:04:18] at 400 purges/s [07:05:52] jayansonw: It's [[meta:File:Nohat-logo-nowords-bgwhite.jpg]] [07:05:59] ahh [07:06:11] jayansonw: that may require some discussion [07:06:17] indeed [07:06:18] can we tackle that tomorrow? [07:06:28] sure [07:06:28] *TrevorParscal votes we talk about that tomorrow [07:06:29] no rush [07:06:41] what is this: Notice something different? We've made a few improvements to Wikipedia. Abdel Jebili Learn more! [07:08:05] On enwiki? [07:08:14] hmm for me it showed "oui! Learn more!" [07:08:23] yea, I was pressing refresh and i kept seeing various endings [07:08:23] Logged-in or logged-out? [07:08:26] (hint: I do not have fr as my language of preference :-P) [07:08:26] logged out [07:08:31] I am logged in [07:09:08] and if I click the link to "Learn more" at the bottom of the learn more page it said "Return to [some article was listed] and now it says return to Special:Search [07:09:20] jjones.... [07:09:21] it was the span [07:09:23] i backed it out [07:09:35] better [07:09:38] RoanKattouw: Someone wrote smart code that messed with it... so I reverted it back out :) [07:09:55] sometimes simple = better. [07:10:01] Philippe: Yeah you can't use {{PAGENAME}} in site notices, won't do what you expect due to caching [07:10:26] noticed that. :P [07:10:38] oh well, learning experience. [07:11:48] so far so good :) [07:11:54] purging will finish in about half an hour now [07:12:26] what command are you running for that? [07:12:34] *stuwest says thanks everyone and waves goodnight [07:12:41] nite stu! [07:12:55] ciao [07:13:05] ok [07:13:20] so, the launch party is disbanding at this point [07:13:32] apergos: pv -l -L 80000 sq*.backend.dump | php /root/purgeListStandalone.php [07:13:35] but I wonder if it's working [07:13:40] I'm not seeing vector pages on enwiki yet [07:13:47] (except main page and a few others) [07:14:03] I'm also not seeing a load increase [07:14:09] hmm [07:14:18] mark: you are not seeing vector? [07:14:45] not much [07:16:10] ah I do now [07:16:18] *RoanKattouw looks at top on locke, sees awk -W Interactive $6 ~"/5" && $9 !~ "upload.wikimedia.org|query.php" [07:16:27] That has to be /old/ , query.php was deprecated a long time ago [07:16:51] i'm only getting vector [07:16:57] the purger is halfway through now [07:17:00] TrevorParscal: remove your cookies ;) [07:17:15] halfway through? [07:17:16] sorry, 20% [07:17:22] ETA: 0:28 [07:17:34] yeah, that did it [07:17:38] I'm seeing some monobook [07:17:55] jayansonw: When you need me to change the text on the what's new page, poke me [07:18:02] yup, thanks [07:18:05] i'm seeing mostly monobook still, but hopefully that'll change [07:18:06] just getting the text ready now [07:18:16] OK [07:18:51] *Philippe wonders about the OTRS queues [07:18:55] checking. [07:19:19] info-en is gorgeous, with only 29 in it. [07:20:01] mark: i hardly see monobook any more [07:20:39] mark: ETA 0:28 in what timezone? [07:20:40] it's getting better :) [07:20:44] haha [07:20:46] in 28 minutes [07:21:01] 1.03M 0:11:02 [1.74k/s] [==================================> ] 31% ETA 0:24:29 [07:21:12] one million pages purged now ;) [07:22:19] Damn [07:22:29] And I'm not seeing squat on the Ganglia graphs [07:22:32] okay Roan - can you add this line at the end of the paragraph on the 'new features' page: [07:22:33] indeed [07:22:33] For more detail, visit the related [http://blog.wikimedia.org/2010/05/13/a-new-look-for-wikipedia/ Wikimedia blog] post. [07:22:34] how boring :( [07:22:52] I guess we underestimated our capacity [07:22:53] As a new sentence right after "in the future." [07:22:58] backend stats is just slightly up [07:23:07] RoanKattouw: better be safe than sorry ;) [07:23:47] we've had ehm, "incidents" with our cache content getting invalidated that were quite horrible to recover from [07:24:10] Yeah [07:25:13] From a customer service perspective, so far so good on everything... no unusual OTRS load, one tiny section on ANI, nothing significant on VP. Some comments on IRC, and I don't know about your feedback form, but from my end, I'm satisfied. [07:25:52] Philippe: There's a reason we chose the quietest time of the day ;) [07:26:10] indeed. :) We'll see what the queues look like tomorrow this time [07:26:20] RoanKattouw I have a second edit too [07:26:32] Oh [07:26:35] What's that? [07:26:37] the performance impact of my little purge script is more impressive in the graphs than vector ;-) [07:27:16] edits to the 'New features' special page [07:27:38] Per my other note: need to make two adds here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UsabilityInitiativePrefSwitch&from=Main_Page [07:27:52] Add what where exactly? [07:27:56] mark: "impressive" as in "noticable"? [07:28:14] at the end of the sentence in the first paragraph, a new sentence: For more detail, visit the related [http://blog.wikimedia.org/2010/05/13/a-new-look-for-wikipedia/ Wikimedia blog] post. [07:28:24] shit. For more details, visit the related [http://blog.wikimedia.org/2010/05/13/a-new-look-for-wikipedia/ Wikimedia blog] post. [07:28:34] So +s [07:28:44] +s ? [07:28:45] TrevorParscal: yeah [07:28:49] yes :) [07:28:50] thanks [07:29:00] jayansonw: What's the preceding sentence? [07:29:03] TrevorParscal: well, i'm surprised that my naive little python script to dump squid cache content apparently processed 1 gigabit per second of data [07:29:25] preceding sentence ends "updates in the future." [07:29:29] so right after that [07:29:39] You mentioned that one already [07:29:46] oh, okay [07:29:53] So the only thing I have now is: [07:29:59] 'prefswitch-main' => "We have been working hard to make things easier for our users. We are excited to share some improvements, including a new look and feel and simplified editing features.

[07:30:05] OK [07:30:13] that should be good! [07:30:26] What's the 6th bullet? [07:30:37] and the second is this, 6th bullet: * '''Wikipedia puzzle globe: we've updated the puzzle globe, read more at the [http://blog.wikimedia.org/2010/05/13/wikipedia-in-3d/ Wikimedia blog.] [07:30:47] and that's it for me [07:31:09] I assume you want to close the ''' (bold) after the : ? [07:31:14] RoanKattouw: are you doing that? Cause I'm getting ready to go to bed.... [07:31:20] Yes, I'm doing that [07:31:27] yeah :) [07:31:34] *RoanKattouw is thinking about getting a second breakfast [07:31:35] *TrevorParscal locates Super Mario Brothers pajamas [07:31:37] you're good at this wiki stuff [07:31:40] thank you RoanKattouw [07:31:48] yes, RK you're a star [07:32:11] I think i'm gonna call it a night, too. [07:32:14] you're all amazing. [07:32:17] Thanks for the hard work. [07:32:56] mark: what is your outlook for the system load in 20 minutes? ;) [07:33:05] fine ;) [07:33:09] jayansonw: i will update the "new features" images tomorow morning [07:33:11] we have no trouble at all handling this [07:33:29] oh! great, thanks [07:33:32] yay [07:33:39] http://torrus.wikimedia.org/torrus/Network?path=%2FCore_switches%2Fcsw5-pmtpa.wikimedia.org%2FInterface_Counters%2FGigabitEthernet1_39%2FInOut_bps [07:33:41] we have a peak here [07:33:42] and if someone can think about the wikipedia.org image I'd be in heaven [07:33:45] that's bits.wikimedia.org [07:33:52] but that's not problematic at all [07:34:14] jayansonw: I can tell you exactly how to change it, I just think it might be controversial [07:34:15] that's a peak of 2x120 Mbps... [07:34:34] you're right - i'll hold off on that until we check around [07:34:46] i think i know what you mean - overwriting the image = bad [07:34:57] Well [07:35:00] mark: the line looks pretty sharp increase... [07:35:03] I'm not sure that'd be considered bad [07:35:14] More like, should it be changed after only one project changed the logo [07:35:18] nkomura: yeah, but that system/software can take that easily [07:35:28] and it's likely very temporary [07:35:29] oh, good point yes [07:35:34] we'll consider that [07:35:53] I see no problem with overwriting the file, I believe its purpose is to be "that image shown on the wikipedia.org main page" [07:35:54] no users had the new vector assets yet, so they're all requesting it at once [07:36:15] understood [07:36:27] But we were never really afraid of that, we were mostly concerned about the Squids and Apaches rendering all the new Vector pages [07:36:49] But they're being very quiet [07:36:58] yeah, just a slight increase [07:37:11] of course, these pages only get rendered when they're *requested* [07:37:17] we purge them, but they're not being rendered at the same rate [07:37:19] Ah yes [07:37:19] (fortunately :) [07:37:24] and it's a quiet time now [07:37:25] which is good [07:37:26] So we might be in for some more load later today [07:37:31] a bit more [07:37:37] but probably barely noticeable, since it's spread out [07:37:38] I'm happy :) [07:37:43] roan, does the special page take a bit to purge? [07:37:47] *RoanKattouw updates PrefSwitch.i18n.php just to see what an Apache load spike looks like [07:37:52] jayansonw: I'm just getting around to updating it [07:38:00] okay, np [07:38:21] jayansonw: Done [07:38:39] aha, look at this [07:38:40] http://torrus.wikimedia.org/torrus/CDN?path=%2FSquids%2Fsq65.wikimedia.org%2Fbackend%2FPerformance%2FHit_ratios [07:38:49] wonderful, thanks Roan [07:39:05] what's that dip at 6am? [07:39:12] that's the vector change [07:39:13] That's us :P [07:39:25] oh it's a ratio [07:39:28] yeow [07:39:29] Hm, hit ratio is only about 55% during peak time [07:39:38] RoanKattouw: that's 2nd tier [07:39:43] 1st tier has almost 50% as well [07:39:43] With a different definition of peak time [07:39:56] dang [07:39:58] Interesting behavior over time [07:40:01] remember, there's a layer of memory only squids handling the hottest objects [07:40:11] those catch half of all requests [07:40:17] But this roughly correlates with the ratio anons:loggedin , right? [07:40:19] it's very very long tail distribution [07:40:28] yeah [07:40:48] just to confirm, for people to opt out of the new look and feel they have to have a user account... [07:40:55] Interesting that the dip is around 11am UTC, whereas the overall request peak is more like 3pm-4pm IIRC [07:40:57] yeah i see that now [07:40:57] mark: will you explain this graph for me? [07:41:00] jayansonw: Yes [07:41:10] seeing some cranky tweets about this [07:41:17] but that's how it goes [07:41:18] nkomura: it's the percentage of pages that are served from the caches, and not forwarded onto the apaches [07:41:27] since we are removing pages from the caches, there is the drop [07:41:40] I should say, percentage of *requests*, not pages [07:41:51] alright folks, here's hoping for lots of awesome coverage of your hard work tomorrow! [07:41:53] I'm going to bed [07:41:57] jayansonw: That's how the system works, in order to have your preferences differ from the default, you need to be logged in. We considered anonymous preferences; it's possible, but very expensive and messy [07:41:57] night jay :) [07:42:08] yeah, i see it now Roan [07:42:12] Night [07:42:15] good night jayansonw! [07:42:20] yeah - i figured it would cook the system witout logging in [07:42:23] good work all, talk later [07:43:27] the collapsible sidebar stuff is sooper sexy :D [07:43:49] aww [07:43:58] jay left, right when I was going to give him a gift [07:43:59] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UsabilityInitiativePrefSwitch&from=Main_Page [07:44:04] updated the logo in the image [07:44:10] a whole 12 hours before I promised [07:45:16] hi mikelifeguard! [07:45:42] would someone please make our blog look like vector? ;) [07:45:45] I hate that monobook look [07:46:15] *RoanKattouw nominates TrevorParscal [07:46:20] ? [07:46:29] you mean the tech blog? [07:46:34] blog.wikimedia.org [07:46:43] techblog is worse :| [07:46:47] jay was requesting that [07:46:51] yeah, I will be poking at both of those soon [07:46:58] cool [07:47:51] "As you expand and collapse each section, your preference is saved on your computer so that it’s remembered between pages and sessions." ohhhhhh snap, that's awesome [07:48:07] *mikelifeguard was just about to ask how to make things be always open :D [07:48:22] mikelifeguard: Edit toolbar does the same for sections (Advanced/Specialchars/Help) BTW [07:48:33] Sets a cookie to remember the last state [07:48:36] ok [07:48:38] i'm going to bed [07:48:41] ok, mark and RoanKattouw, we'll need to wrap up here [07:48:45] good night trevor [07:48:46] thank you everyone [07:48:47] and naoko :) [07:48:52] you guys are awesome [07:49:02] thanks for the awesome work! :) [07:49:07] Get some sleep guys [07:49:09] i hope you can enjoy the national holiday [07:49:10] cyall online soon [07:49:20] what is the day? [07:49:24] Ascension Day [07:49:28] A Christian holiday [07:49:40] i.e. a day off and half the country has no idea why [07:49:43] happy ascension day, guys [07:49:56] i'll take another day off I think ;) [07:50:12] thank you for working on the holiday [07:50:15] since I'm moving soon, lots of interios shopping to do [07:50:23] and that's best done *not* on public holidays ;) [07:50:25] great team work! [07:50:28] s/interios/interior/ [07:50:39] ;) [07:50:44] good night [07:50:46] good night [07:51:11] i'm seeing mostly vector now [07:51:14] good good [07:53:08] it seems that the number of upload requests dropped slightly [07:53:18] perhaps vector is requesting less/nothing from upload than monobook [07:55:58] I don't think monobook was pulling anything from upload eitehr [07:56:02] Well there's the logo, obviously [07:56:13] And the WMF logo somewhere down the page IIRC [07:56:20] that could be enough [07:56:32] Thing is both skins have them [07:57:29] So there shouldn't be a difference in theory [07:57:32] *RoanKattouw fires up Firebug to be sure [07:58:54] Nope, same number of upload reqs, same images too [07:59:31] Hmm [07:59:41] Jay's blog post lists the switchover time as 8am UTC [07:59:43] That's like right no [07:59:45] *now [08:00:02] oh well [08:00:17] for most pages, that's probably right ;) [08:00:20] It's not like anyone will notice [08:00:21] Yeah that too [08:00:31] ok, purging stage 1 done [08:00:41] all cache objects of which we knew the URLs are done [08:00:54] I guess I'll set up purging of live requested urls as well [08:00:57] like last time [08:01:13] but now with a sample rate of 1/100 [08:01:54] What did you do before? 1/1 in the end, right? [08:01:59] 1/1 for commons [08:02:04] but not gonna do that for enwiki ;) [08:02:35] hehehe [08:03:40] Hm, of all clusters the *API* cluster experienced the largest load spike due to my i18n sync [08:03:55] I should really fix the API to not use the l10ncache unless it needs it [08:04:00] (Which is almost never) [08:04:19] hmm just 100 purges a second now [08:04:23] let's increase that tenfold [08:06:34] after lots of clicking I finally found a monobook page [08:10:39] Why does the new globe look so small [08:10:39] Sounds like all of this has been very painless [08:10:52] it does look a bit undersized for the space it is meant to fill :s [08:11:02] actually the old one looked very oversized [08:11:40] like it was gonna crush the logo text below it [08:12:47] hmm, it is because monobook has things closer to the logo [08:35:42] ok, i'm going offline to do some other things now, call me if you need me [11:15:16] hi hannes-_- [11:28:44] HI [11:28:58] how is it going? [11:32:15] ? [11:32:29] oh un Dodoiste [11:33:12] oui, Otourdulit [11:33:25] Dodoiste: ça va ? [12:27:37] hannes-_-: do you upload some logos ? [12:29:38] *thedj really annoyed by very experienced users, being totally surprised about a Vector change..... [12:30:01] some people just refuse to be informed about stuff it seems. [12:30:23] There's been some yelling at WP:VPT too, mostly people suggesting we're total idiots [12:30:25] :P [12:30:50] yeah, i wasn't expecting anything else [12:36:28] Otourly: no not at the moment... maybe later [12:36:33] *thedj checks google news for responses on the change. [12:36:50] *Otourly will have a break [12:36:58] I love this comment: [12:36:58] "FIRST YOUTUBE, NOW WIKIPEDIA. I CAN'T HANDLE THIS. I'M GOING TO HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN." [12:37:18] in that case, he missed google :D [12:37:32] true [12:37:38] which is the worst [12:37:42] :P [12:38:07] he could use Dailymotion instead of youtube :P [12:38:47] roan, wanna make this the new channel topic: "First youtube, than google, now wikipedia. I can't handle this. I'm going to have a nervous breakdown" [13:16:15] Ok, who the fuck changed to ! [13:16:48] If that breaks your scripts, your scripts are stupid. You shouldn't screenscrape, that's liable to break at any time [13:17:28] <^demon> I never understood why we waste the bytes on those comments anyway. [13:17:51] right, because the method to do that since 2004 needs to be replace with a non-cached API call? [13:18:11] ^demon: http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=New_York_City¶ms=40_43_N_74_0_W_type:city(8363710)_region:US-NY [13:18:21] hello, could you delete spam http://prototype.wikimedia.org/pl.wikipedia.org/Dyskusja_Wikipedii:Tablica_og%C5%82osze%C5%84 + http://prototype.wikimedia.org/pl.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Tablica_og%C5%82osze%C5%84 + http://prototype.wikimedia.org/pl.wikipedia.org/Pomoc:Jak_edytowa%C4%87_stron%C4%99 [13:18:25] Don't worry about performance, we'll do that for you [13:18:30] (Dispenser) [13:19:09] right, that's why you set max-cache-age on all API calls to 0, huh? [13:19:14] haha [13:19:46] you used html comments for that ? [13:19:47] I could make geohack full reparse every goddamn page, but that's slow [13:19:49] scary [13:19:50] Dispenser: You can pass &smaxage=3600&maxage=3600 and it'll be cached. Plus, we have caching below that [13:20:10] and when I checked a few months ago those tags were still correct [13:20:19] We switched skins on enwiki [13:20:41] This was widely publicized [13:21:03] Dispenser: You can try to fix your script by appending ?useskin=monobook to the URLs [13:21:17] yeah, that should work as a quickfix [13:21:34] And I checked for compatibility and you still manged to fuck it up [13:21:56] How did you check for compatibility exactly? [13:22:28] by looking for the tags when vector first came out [13:23:41] Wehn was that? [13:24:10] August I believe [13:24:13] <^demon> Also keep in mind that until it was launched last night, Vector has still been a "beta" skin and liable to change. [13:24:37] <^demon> So something that was true in August may not be true now, some 9 months later. [13:24:50] yes, but the reliable tags that have existed for the last six years have changed [13:24:58] I maintain that 1) relying on comments is bad and 2) it's very easy to fix your script to either use useskin=monobook or use the new tags [13:26:07] 1) rely on comment is far better than relying on some wired markup that is liable to change 2) why were those tags changed? [13:26:30] No, comments aren't better. Comments carry no meaning and can be removed at any time [13:26:32] I have no idea why they changed [13:26:35] Or when [13:26:43] I have trouble believing they changed between now and August [13:27:26] Again, you can pass ?useskin=monobook and yuo'll have your "reliable tags" back [13:28:56] <^demon> Until someone changes them ;-) [13:28:57] your forgetting its not only my application [13:32:29] Sure, more apps screenscrape [13:32:42] We have pointed all of them to the API and useskin=monobook [13:33:41] And we will continue to do so [13:35:30] <^demon> RoanKattouw: I've heard you give the "use the API don't screenscrape" talk entirely too many times :p [13:37:59] RoanKattouw: I've seen far to many people recommend using ?action=parse&text={{:Wikipedia}} [13:38:57] Dispenser: Yeah that's the evil variant. We've had action=parse&page=Wikipedia for a long time now [13:39:10] And the latter does use parser cache [13:39:23] Still, [[WP:PERF]] [13:42:39] why have comments in the HTML for scraping if your going to recommend using the API? [13:43:18] Those comments are not for scraping [13:43:34] I have no idea what they are there for but it sure ain't screenscraping [13:45:00] why is the monobook font so small ? [13:45:15] eh monospace.. [13:45:43] is it because of that font hack we put in? [13:46:05] i'm not sure. normal text is 13px, but monospace is 10px for me. [13:46:53] we have a hack that sets it back to 13px for tt,pre etc, but that doesn't fix style="font:monospace" [14:46:21] Does usability initiative has anything to do with new logo? [14:47:03] well they launched at the same time. [14:47:15] not sure they have the responsibility for it though. [14:47:23] I don't think we do [14:47:32] Thank god [14:47:38] Jay, Cary and some others I think [14:47:47] *RoanKattouw thinks the new logo could use some improvement too [14:47:51] That means I can use stronger expressions in expressing my pain and my distress [14:48:16] RoanKattouw: well, switching back to the old logo would be the best improvement [14:48:34] *Dispenser wonders how many hours were spent/wasted [14:49:07] I like some aspects of the new logo and some aspects of the old one [14:49:18] Many people have said the deeper indentation between the puzzle pieces looked better, I agree with that [14:49:37] Yeah [14:49:41] And it was bigger [14:50:05] I think it being smaller was intended [14:50:05] Did anyone tried to gain community consensus? [14:50:35] lol, it the foundation, they don't need consensus [14:51:01] Oh [14:51:08] Don't tell me we need another petition [14:51:31] oh good grief [14:51:38] *apergos shoots self to put self out of their misery [14:51:42] so much simpler that way [14:53:48] as far as I remember when we wanted change Wikibooks logo, there was community voting... [14:54:17] well they are still trying to figure out on en wikt which of three logos they (don't) want [14:55:06] they really should change the favicon though, I can't tell tabs apart from Wikipedia [14:55:41] RoanKattouw: wasn't there a bugticket yet for portalet spans interfering with context menus on IE ? [14:56:06] Yes, there is [14:58:26] ah 23267 [14:58:37] says it is fixed, but perhaps it was not deployed ? [14:59:19] That one's about Ctrl+Click [14:59:24] Not about context menus [14:59:26] That's a different bug [14:59:43] I can't seem to rightclick and open the new Vector tabs in new IE tabs/windows anymore. When I'm looking at the article, I tried to right-click on "Discussion" so that I could open that in a new tab and see both article and talk page [14:59:48] [15:00:11] Yes [15:00:14] There is a bug for that [15:00:17] It's just not bug 23267 [15:01:05] ah, got it 23490 [15:39:43] I am still interested in what to do with the logo [15:40:59] as I can see, the public agrees that it looks bad, some using more polite wordings, some using less [15:43:51] * You have been kicked from #wikipedia-usability by ChanServ (Invite only channel) why is this not a redirect instead? [15:44:18] No idea [15:44:36] because it’s configured that way, I suppose [15:47:45] well, based on the blog comments, the one certain thing is that everyone has an opinion. [15:48:08] with comments ranging from "horrible" to "spectacular" and everything in between [15:50:07] And...some people love the logo and hate the search box location, and some people hate the logo and love the search box location. [15:51:59] cary: well, you can justify the search box position [15:52:09] I can't agree at all with the people who disagreed with the new search box position. [15:52:17] Considering all the studies that were done. [15:52:20] Well [15:52:28] Were there any studies on logo? [15:52:32] I think that's people who woke up finding it in a different place and want to find reasons to complain. [15:52:50] It's a logo, it doesn't require studies. [15:53:01] it's not an interface item. [15:53:05] search is back to the old position [15:53:06] cary: then it requires consensus [15:53:19] it doesn't require studies [15:53:20] vvv, no, it doesn't. The foundation is responsible for the trademarks. [15:54:10] but it does in theory require community buy-in (as for years now any change in appearance has required that, independently of whether initially the logo was installed by fiat or not) [15:54:19] cary: Foundation is responsible for everything [15:54:39] vvv, no. [15:55:10] no and thank god we're not [15:55:13] But this is an argument I'm not involving myself in. I have Visa letters to do. [15:55:27] visa letters? can you get me a visa? [15:55:35] lol [15:55:42] I'll take that as a no [15:55:43] for scholarship recipients [15:55:43] *sigh* [15:55:45] :-P [15:56:10] cary: are scholarship recipients the only people who get Visa letters? [15:56:28] apergos: Hey you're a US citizen (right?) you don't need a visa for Poland :) [15:56:30] vvv no [15:56:38] not for poland [15:56:43] but I'm not responsible for coordinating anyone else. [16:03:33] Why the interwikis are collapsed by default? [16:04:52] vvv: There's a bug report about that too [16:05:45] any enwikipedians here [16:06:00] there's a lot going on at Wikipedia:VPT which should probably be on the feedback page [16:06:02] not me :-P [16:06:09] it's important to keep discussions in one place. [16:33:18] people know to go to VP/T [16:33:36] it's logcial that the more experienced people go there to whine. [16:34:20] it was also apparently disturbing enough, to note the event on the incident board for admins :D [16:36:18] RoanKattouw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Vector#It.27s_raining_men [16:57:27] now that's funny [17:02:48] btw: [17:03:18] it is symbolistic that the new logo has “НУВ” on its back side [17:03:28] ВП:НУВ is ruwp-ish for WP:DENY [17:04:34] is it intentional that there is a "Enable template collapsing" option in the prefs ? [17:04:54] salut Otourly [17:04:58] since this feature won't work yet, it is a tad confusing for some. [17:05:18] hi cary have you see my post on my blog ? [17:05:25] Otourly, is this new? [17:05:37] <^demon> lol @ "There was no consensus to switch the skin" thread on enwiki [17:05:48] cary about the logo [17:05:55] ^demon: where's that? I need a good laugh [17:06:22] <^demon> guillom: WP:VPR, bottom of page. [17:06:28] thanks [17:06:38] some people seem to be having trouble with IE8.... [17:06:53] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Problems_with_editing_under_New_features [17:07:53] yes, well, the community never has the consensus of the readership anyway. [17:07:57] or new editors [17:08:19] the community is always imposing things on the readership. [17:08:24] blah blah blah [17:09:16] <^demon> If we had to have consensus for every software change nothing would ever get done. [17:09:19] yep [17:09:47] Otourly, it's very difficult to find individual comments [17:10:04] I'll search for your name [17:10:07] ^demon: someone recently demanded that editors were informed of all software changes [17:10:23] cary http://otourly.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/changement-du-logo-de-wikipedia/ ;) [17:10:31] Otourly, ah, *YOUR* blog :) [17:10:33] ^demon: it told him there had been 6500 this year alone, and that he could subscribe to the commit log in order to be informed :D [17:11:14] then he was quiet :D [17:11:32] Otourly, tu peux cre�r les pngs a le m�me temps que tu cre�s les svgs? [17:11:46] c'est possible [17:11:50] thedj: Oops, no, template collapsing should be disabled [17:12:08] cary ça a avancé en mon absence aujourd'hui ? [17:12:45] RoanKattouw: well it is not enabled, but the option is in the prefs... [17:12:59] Yes, that needs to die [17:13:03] It's very experimental code [17:13:18] "Who is this Catrope and what gives him the right?" [17:13:20] cary: could you have a look on the simple and pms logos ? [17:13:27] what shall we do ? [17:13:46] cary: Who said that xD [17:13:49] <^demon> thedj: That's more or less what I've told people in the past. [17:14:04] Oh I bet this is about the logo [17:14:16] i had previously told him to read the signpost and follow VPT, but that was "too hard" he said :D [17:14:22] <^demon> Big changes will get announced. Small changes are in the release notes...read them yourself. [17:15:00] <^demon> I'm not going to copy+paste release notes just because looking for them is "too hard" (which it most certainly isn't) [17:15:13] Otourly, I don't see those [17:15:14] *RoanKattouw wonders why the hell the toolbar breaks in Vista but not XP [17:15:29] <^demon> RoanKattouw: Vista sucks more? [17:15:40] cary: go to the projects... [17:16:16] RoanKattouw: use Linux or at least Windows 7? ;) [17:16:48] Or wait, maybe it is W7 that it's broken in [17:16:53] *RoanKattouw re-reads VPT thread [17:17:01] <^demon> RoanKattouw: How well does it work in Win95? ;-) [17:17:17] Does IE8 even work in W95? [17:17:26] Otourly, for simple we should us the same logo as enwiki [17:17:28] plain and simple [17:17:31] So apparently stuff works in IE8 in XP but not in Vista or W7 [17:17:43] for pms... I suggest we remove "e a gratis" [17:17:56] because none of the other logos expound on that. [17:18:12] RoanKattouw: perhaps an issue similar to the wikibits.js IE version detection ? [17:18:13] all right [17:18:38] thedj: Perhaps. Let me first confirm it really does work on IE [17:20:35] And we need to protect the logos on commons [17:22:41] cary... you should say me that before... [17:23:22] did cascade protection work for uploads these days ? [17:23:30] cause then it's pretty easy [17:26:23] thedj, hmm, good question [17:30:04] Does anyone around here run IE8 on Windows Vista or Windows 7? [17:31:57] <^demon> Is Byran around, I know he's on Windows. [17:32:27] cary: for protection I have asked to another admin of commons [17:33:46] cary: also what do you think about http://ceb.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unang_Panid ? [17:35:58] I do at home [17:36:29] It's long, but we can take space out [17:36:32] squeeze it a tad [17:42:02] WTF [17:42:08] WFM on Windows 7 [17:42:18] *RoanKattouw bump style version appendix just to be sure [17:45:18] hello people [17:46:18] Good morning [17:46:23] <^demon> Hello person :) [17:47:08] what's this i hear about ie8 and the toolbar not getting on? [17:47:14] vector really isn't a very admin-friendly skin [17:47:38] <^demon> Prodego: Its friendly to me :) [17:47:39] TrevorParscal: Only on Vista and Win7 supposedly, but XP is reported to work fine (confirmed) [17:47:46] Tried on a laptop with W7 just now and it worked [17:47:53] Purged JS/CSS cache for paranoia [17:48:07] Prodego: well, that's possible, it was not designed based on research of administrators, it was designed based on research of readers/entry-level editors [17:48:08] ^demon: delete, etc in drop down menus is quite slowing [17:48:22] TrevorParscal: yes, that's true, and I think it likely is easier to use [17:48:30] until you get too many buttons :) [17:48:34] Prodego: Monobook is just a click away for you sir [17:48:49] I'm using it, but I actually do like the way vector looks [17:49:10] <^demon> Prodego: Maybe it'll help admins think twice before deleting ;-) [17:49:16] :) [17:49:28] vector seems to be going over largely positively [17:49:55] Agreed. I can't wait to see some stats from wikistats tomorrow. [17:50:00] less problems than i was expecting personally. [17:50:32] <^demon> The world didn't end. That's a start. [17:51:31] having to move your scripts is a problem for many experienced users. Many users have no idea how all those tools they use, actually work. [17:51:47] <^demon> This is why we have common.js these days :) [17:51:58] yeah, but that isn't deployed yet is it ? [17:52:14] <^demon> I assumed it was in last scap. [17:52:30] <^demon> Did it make it in 1.16, or was it post-branch? [17:52:35] post branch [17:52:39] <^demon> Oh :( [17:53:08] No, it wasn't deployed [17:53:13] And we decided not to deploy it last night [17:53:14] <^demon> That might be worth deploying sooner rather than later. [17:54:21] <^demon> RoanKattouw: Compelling reason not to? [17:54:35] RoanKattouw: so prefstats is capturing people switching to and from monobook, right? [17:54:46] it appears that way -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefStats [17:55:18] TrevorParscal: any idea what might be causing this for a user ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Vector#It.27s_raining_men [17:55:23] TrevorParscal: Yes [17:55:29] ^demon: Ask TrevorParscal, he made that call [17:56:07] hmm [17:56:33] cary: http://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia [17:57:09] http://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeda:Wiki.png lol [17:57:27] thedj: can I get any more info on that? [17:57:42] TrevorParscal: no, dodoiste has asked about more info, but he didn't respond yet :( [17:58:08] it's clearly a CSS issue, but given he seems to be the only person to see that, it looks like there's some userscripts/usercss going on that's making things go nuts [17:58:17] probably an old browser or something. [17:58:49] RoanKattouw: so, at some point we need to figure out how to differentiate the charts from their opting in data and opting out data [17:59:03] rather - the data before the launch and after [17:59:09] Yes [17:59:50] right now, this chart is sort of useless [17:59:56] but at least we are capturing the data [18:00:39] we also need to get erik zachte to help us [18:01:41] Otourly, I don't understand what is wrong with sq [18:01:55] cary: for the logo protection, a sysop could run a bot but he just wait that missing logo are done [18:02:11] ah yes [18:02:13] cary: they just have change the font [18:03:26] Yes, how silly :) [18:04:57] hi [18:06:35] how can I change logo files? [18:06:47] ? [18:06:52] hannes-_-: What do you mean? [18:07:02] cary: http://tl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia <= too long too [18:07:07] the files seem to be protected...no? [18:07:12] is that Tagalog [18:07:27] hannes-_-, don't you mess up our logo files [18:07:36] ^^ [18:07:46] cary: most of them are perfect [18:07:54] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-ht.svg [18:07:57] Otourly, letter-spacing:-0.2 or thereabouts [18:08:00] ht is uploaded? [18:08:04] I d like to tweak this one [18:08:55] anyway [18:09:05] hannes-_-: inkscape ? :D [18:09:09] I just deprotected that one [18:09:19] Otourly and I can both do .... [18:09:20] DOH [18:09:45] cary: tl I have try with -1 ... too long ... [18:10:08] Hm. we might have to squeeze it a bit [18:19:00] Otourly, with stuff like the ht logo, i think we might just have to allow for it to be less wide. [18:19:08] Like the ja logo [18:19:23] hum ok [18:19:45] I think it is the only one [18:20:45] cary: While you're getting translations of the wikipedia logo, would you see if you can find someone to do ang for Wikibooks? It was never done when we got our new logo. As well, the default should really be changed... I will see if there's a bug for that. [18:20:54] sq too [18:21:46] mikelifeguard: you could put the information on my talk page and I 'll have a look [18:21:57] sure [18:22:04] mikelifeguard, well, i'm just pulling the translations from the meta page [18:22:12] m:Wikipedia logo in all languages [18:22:57] ah [18:28:54] RoanKattouw: [18:28:55] "problems with Opera 9.27 [18:28:56] I cannot see the languages or what is under interaction, toolbox, or print/export even when I click on them, (nothing happpens). [18:30:18] is: is also small [18:32:30] <^demon> nohat doesn't like the new logo :\ [18:32:58] yes, well, I actually believe someone did try to contact him. [18:33:11] so he's not being entirely honest. [18:33:13] :P [18:33:16] and of course, *he* designed the previous one. [18:33:24] he's liable to be a bit possessive. [18:33:34] RoanKattouw: Could we prioritize patching deployment with r66374 [18:34:55] <^demon> cary: That aside, he's voicing concerns that I keep hearing echo'd elsewhere. [18:35:08] We should have turned on font hinting for "The Free Encyclopedia" [18:35:34] ...in the new logo. [18:35:55] Then the rational of using sans serif would've have made sense [18:36:05] sans serif? [18:36:18] There's no sans serif [18:36:19] err, sans italic [18:36:31] http://nohat.net/2010/the-awful-new-wikipedia-logo [18:39:00] guillom: sadly, i agree with every point that person makes [18:39:46] so do I [18:40:01] mark: you moved the new logo such that it is controlled via a page on commons [18:40:22] mark: perhaps that should be kept on the site for which it is the logo [18:40:40] I didn't do anything [18:40:51] TrevorParscal, shut up. You have no opinion. [18:40:52] :) [18:40:54] then it was whoever you were talking to last night :) [18:41:14] discuss this with Trevor, this was decided by UX :) [18:41:23] mark doesn't do anything except feed the Netherlands servers [18:41:30] <^demon> guillom: I've restored the old logo using my personal css, at least until the problems with the new ones are fixed. [18:41:38] TrevorParscal: ok, then redirect that question to you [18:41:40] cary: I have lots of opinions on all things graphical, believe me, but I'm willing to let Jay make these calls since it's our brand, and that's his gig [18:42:32] ^demon: I usually prefer to stick to the default behavior / appearance in all cases, in order to stay as close as possible to what new users experience [18:43:06] Prodego: mark: that was not decided by UX - not to pass the buck, but cary is a better person to ask about the new logo path - i think [18:43:38] *Prodego just wants to move it to somewhere on enwiki, perhaps back to Wiki.png, but anywhere on enwiki would do [18:44:02] right now its controlled by a page on commons, which isn't very logical [18:44:26] I'm going to check the logs to see who did it [18:44:34] oh I can tell you who did it [18:44:35] Roan did it [18:44:40] but he didn't want to ;) [18:44:50] so who wanted to? [18:45:07] Trevor says you should discuss this with cary :) [18:45:13] ok, cary you are up [18:45:31] TrevorParscal, actually, while I was directly responsible for the new characters (which I might say have been met with general approval), I have had no involvement with the rendering of the globe and the placement over the text. [18:45:51] All I know is that a professional was consulted for the globe rendering [18:45:55] cary: not blaming that on you [18:46:06] i'm talking about the logo being hosted on commons [18:46:11] and that the placement over the globe was done by the ux team, on collab. [18:46:11] sorry, didn't mean to be unclear there [18:46:25] oh, why is it on Commons? So we have a single place for all of them until the changeover is complete. [18:46:28] Hannes Tank and Parul Vora [18:46:36] No, you can't move it to enwiki yet. [18:46:41] cary: right now the enwiki logo is controlled by a page on commons [18:46:52] Prodego, and it will remain that way for a few weeks at least. [18:46:57] why is that? [18:47:02] Because of what I just said. [18:47:19] A single place for all of the Wikipedia logos until the Vector changeover is complete. [18:47:25] *mikelifeguard facepalms Prodego [18:47:25] I don't understand why that is better [18:47:27] then people should be happy to file bugs to move them over. [18:47:37] hell no [18:47:41] we're not gonna do that wiki by wiki [18:47:43] mark says hell no [18:47:57] there will be one common path per wiki for all wikis (like there was with wiki.png) [18:48:01] or it'll stay as it is now [18:48:13] Yes, I'm asking for the former :) [18:48:19] that's what we wanted to [18:48:26] cary: proferssionals? [18:48:30] noone has really presented any good reason why we needed to change it [18:48:41] too [18:49:11] can we change it back before a good reason has to be presented to change it back? I don't like the idea of commons admins controlling the wikipedia logo [18:49:16] nbo [18:49:17] no [18:49:20] you cannot change it at all. [18:49:21] sorry [18:49:39] <^demon> That's unfortunate. [18:49:51] So commons admins will control the logos of all WMF sites [18:49:54] No [18:50:03] they're free to do what they want after the changeover is complete. [18:50:15] the projects, that is. [18:50:25] good [18:50:32] so after the switchover, we'll change it back to Wiki.png [18:50:35] All changes, at present are going to be coordinated in a central place: Commons. [18:51:11] What is the benifit of that [18:51:30] Prodego, get over it. [18:51:37] I've explained the benefit twice [18:51:42] I'm not doing it again. [18:51:47] actually you haven't cary [18:51:51] Actually, mark, I have. [18:52:00] no, it's all "because we say so" [18:52:07] something vague about everything being on commons, but no reasons for it [18:52:18] No, it's so that the people working on the logo can see them all in one, central place. [18:52:25] oh is that it [18:52:26] and work on that from one central place [18:52:33] shall we make a html page for you [18:52:35] cary: are they still working on logo? [18:52:36] and that if there are any mass changes [18:52:36] with them all in one page? [18:52:38] mark [18:52:41] no [18:52:44] it's this way [18:52:49] and it will stay this way [18:53:03] i don't have the resources to change the procedures. [18:53:08] I do ;) [18:53:13] you will not do that. [18:53:30] I think I will, once we switchover the rest [18:53:40] because right now it's a pain for other reasons [18:53:40] *guillom grabs popcorn [18:53:41] mark, do not do that until we're ready. [18:53:58] http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/13/wikipedia-update/ [18:54:02] *^demon grabs some candy and sits next to guillom [18:54:10] so the reason was, "we don't want anyone to be able to change the logo and we want to monitor it in one place" [18:54:23] ok [18:54:23] mark, that's entirely reasonable. [18:54:41] there are other ways of doing that of course, but fine [18:54:44] guillom: do you have more popcorn ? [18:55:42] Otourly: we're talking about the WMF office; of course we have more popcorn! Besides, Nimish is on vacation, so the stock of popcorn isn't decreasing as fast as usual :D [18:56:08] :D [18:56:36] (and I stole the salad bowl he uses for popcorn, and now I use it for apples; healthy food ftw) [18:57:08] TrevorParscal: filed a report on Opera issue with collapsible sidebar [18:57:59] Now, the good news is, that the people in charge are reading the comments [18:58:14] Because I've just gotten an email asking us to hold off on localization. [18:58:19] Otourly, ne fait plus [18:58:47] yes, I find it funny to read Jay's e-mail on foundation-l, considering the lot of you have been doing localization like crazy for the past 2 days [18:58:54] cary: ok I stop process [18:59:18] we were just 3 ! [18:59:26] :D [19:00:42] :D [19:00:46] I feel better [19:01:58] http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=commons.wikimedia.org&wikilang=en&order=-img_timestamp&img_user_text=Otourly&ofs=0&max=100 :D [19:03:55] Cary: well, for now what's matter ? talk ? keep the olf one ? wait and see en.wp ? [19:04:02] old [19:04:55] just leave [19:04:56] :) [19:05:01] do nothing for now [19:05:49] lol [19:31:50] so [19:32:28] I just think that it should be the default for new users, but not > 3 mos users [19:41:33] cary: So when you guys are all finished with all the logos and we're rolling them out, would you be OK with copying them to the individual wikis at that time? Like, there's gonna be a point where you're gonna say "they're finished" and presumably that's gonnna be before the rollout. Past that point you don't need them all in once place any more, right? [19:44:15] TrevorParscal: Deploying r66374 now [19:45:00] thankyou [19:46:05] RoanKattouw: will there be a crosswiki deployment? [19:46:15] vvv: Yes, at an undetermined date [19:46:29] enwiki was supposed to be a testcase to see if the servers could handle it [19:46:43] AFAICT they haven't broken a sweat [19:46:55] Heh, servers [19:47:07] They think more about servers than about volunteers [19:47:39] Well, at first they wanted to switch in April [19:47:53] Then Mark objected, saying that he wanted the new servers to be set up before we did this [19:48:05] So the planning actually got pushed back because of the servers, not the other way around [19:49:38] TrevorParscal: Done. Note that this won't propagate immediately for anons due to Squid caching [19:49:49] no worries [19:49:58] just wanted to get that out there as much as we can [19:52:15] I don't wholly like the new wikipedia logo [19:52:25] <^demon> Join the club. [19:52:30] it looks smaller and with less depth [19:53:31] less impressive, less serious. For no real benifit considering how widely its associated with us [19:53:39] who the hell chose it? [19:54:00] ipatrol: "Foundation" [19:54:19] and for why? [19:54:42] It looks like they intentionally don't say who approved the change to avoid responsibility [19:55:08] No one proposed it [19:55:18] <^demon> RoanKattouw/TrevorParscal: There's a thread on wikitech-l about blackberry issues in vector if neither of you caught that yet. [19:56:09] It looks like they took a bunch of monkeys, put them at computers with our old svg source in front of them, and let them smash away [19:56:52] <^demon> Professional monkeys, from what I'm told. [19:56:57] ipatrol: nah, as far as I understood it's 3D render [19:57:26] Read the blog post at blog.wikimedia.org , it'll tell you exactly who designed it [19:57:48] link? [19:59:55] Apparently it was to correct its geometry, who gives a crap about whether its volume is really in proportion to pi? [20:00:07] http://blog.wikimedia.org/2010/05/13/wikipedia-in-3d/ [20:02:58] Well, I have to admit that it looks good when scaled [20:06:26] I disagree [20:07:06] It looks like someone was overlyconcerned about it being entirely free, so they sacrificed detail to use GIMP instead of PS [20:08:16] ipatrol: you're wrong [20:08:30] ia had been used also... [20:08:33] ai' [20:08:46] libertine? [20:09:22] adobe illustrator [20:09:28] Its overly sterile and flat, is it really that hard to add grooves? [20:10:19] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg/2000px-Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg.png [20:11:32] I really thing that svg was not the way to go here. vector graphics have their limits [20:11:40] *think [20:11:51] the original scale was fine [20:13:30] most of hate it, so why does the wmf insist on keeping it [20:13:53] *us [20:14:03] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Wikipedia_svg_logo-en.svg/2000px-Wikipedia_svg_logo-en.svg.png [20:17:27] #p-logo a {background-image: url(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6b/Wiki.PNG) !important;} [20:18:54] ipatrol, you don't represent anyone [20:18:59] So you can't say "most of us hate it" [20:19:50] well [20:20:05] some just wants the globe bigger [20:20:08] even vvv says it looks good when scaled up [20:20:20] Otourly, I think making the globe bigger will appease a great deal of people [20:20:25] but I don't think that's the only solution [20:20:43] I think there should be more separation of puzzle pieces. [20:20:54] cary-lunch: well, it lacks contrast between puzzles. I think I'm not first to express that opinion [20:21:14] vvv, obviously you typed that before you read the last thing I said. [20:21:39] Yeah, sorry [20:23:07] cary-lunch: well, maybe it's not about separation, it's just about puzzle pieces themselves looking too flat [20:23:32] yeah, like the original logo author said. [20:23:35] The guy that designed the old logo wrote a blog post [20:23:55] He too said it was about 1) the perceived depth of the grooves between the pieces and 2) the contrast between the pieces and the letters [20:25:48] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Common.css#Simple_line.2C_major_proposal [20:27:47] *Dispenser is beginning to think that Mac People like blurry things [20:30:21] ipatrol: what about this version? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Wikipedia-logo-bolder2.svg [20:30:44] lacking definition and size [20:31:09] the new logo should be modified from the old one, not from a blank sphere [20:31:33] fix the alignment, change the fonts (if you must) [20:32:06] My proposal is just until we created a better consensus-based version [20:32:49] mmmhmm [20:33:01] foundation-fed monkeys be damned [20:33:47] ban him [20:33:48] please [20:33:59] *cary-lunch pokes RoanKattouw [20:34:05] I'll not have him insulting people here [20:34:23] ipatrol: Stop insulting people, or you will be banned per cary-lunch [20:35:05] I was referencing my earlier monkey comment, not the actual staff [20:35:30] It looks like they took a bunch of monkeys, put them at computers with our old svg source in front of them, and let them smash away [20:35:32] I think that would be very "meta" to adopt a wiki methodology to the logo iterations ;) [20:35:46] it's warrented! [20:35:53] wiki.png is just another file [20:37:04] ipatrol: thankfully you can customize it [20:37:12] I can even make that a gadget to switch it back if you want [20:37:14] shall we do that? [20:37:16] Prodego: not really [20:37:24] You can't, since it's on Commons [20:37:26] vvv: the logo? sure you can [20:37:30] just a bit of css [20:37:32] If you think of the foundation as the federal government and each project as a state, I might call myself an anti-federalist. [20:37:39] You can using css [20:37:46] *vvv is federalist [20:38:02] But Wikipedia is not an experiment in whatever [20:38:18] no [20:38:20] vvv: I mean changing it individually of course, changing it for everyone is also possible without using commons, but not going to happen [20:38:37] the foundation has the purse strings [20:38:44] And they should [20:38:46] ipatrol: lets go make the gadget then [20:38:52] It exists [20:39:08] yep you could change the logo via /vector.css [20:39:12] does it... [20:39:27] retrieving [20:39:51] #p-logo a {background-image: url(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6b/Wiki.PNG) !important;} [20:39:54] oh make a gadget for keep the old logo ? mouarf [20:40:08] ipatrol: that doesn't work [20:40:09] Otourly: yes, seems like that would solve ipatrol's concern, keep everyone happen [20:40:10] the servers are mere tools [20:40:11] happy* [20:40:18] vvv: it actually does work [20:40:20] Does it? [20:40:28] Wasn't wiki.png changed? [20:40:38] We could rent servers from others, volunteers cant be handled that way [20:40:39] that's pulling an old version from the history [20:40:46] vvv: wiki.png should not change [20:40:50] actually ipatrol might just be getting a cached version [20:41:15] wiki.png != wiki.PNG [20:41:19] owait, wrong channel [20:41:28] Prodego: I added a css line [20:41:48] it works [20:42:01] RoanKattouw: yep sorry, not exactly same format, not the same file I know [20:42:07] ah, there we go, yes RoanKattouw :) [20:43:09] ipatrol: I'm going to update wiki.PNG to the newest 'old' version, if that's ok with you [20:43:27] keep it to where it last was [20:44:04] ipatrol: what is the name of the new gadget ? [20:44:20] Otourly: there isn't one, I was offering to make one [20:44:27] #p-logo a {background-image: url(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6b/Wiki.PNG) !important;} [20:44:32] that is it [20:44:38] you can add #p-logo a {background-image: url(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6b/Wiki.PNG) !important;} to your css file and that will do it [20:44:41] but its not a gadget [20:44:47] I know [20:44:59] TrevorParscal: Did you see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23498 ? [20:45:15] I just wanted to know if on en they make a gadget or not [20:45:21] i tried to reproduce [20:45:23] couldn't [20:45:31] you able to reproduce? [20:45:34] It's been reported many times [20:45:36] Haven't tried [20:45:45] But there's definitely something there, lots of people have this problem [20:45:45] this should be a simple fix [20:45:49] right [20:45:51] Could be gadget interference I guess [20:46:42] I just think that matters of design and most of the policy should be left to the projects and respectively, the user [20:46:43] s [20:48:13] TrevorParscal: the guy with the weird "person" icons in the tab ? "Vista and Firefox v3" .... Asking if he has gadgets enabled or something. [20:48:26] yeah [20:48:28] ipatrol: I'm not agree [20:48:28] right on [20:48:56] ipatrol: just see the "bordel" of the wikitionary's logo vote [20:49:48] My God [20:49:56] [[Wikipedia:User experience feedback]] is full of trolling [20:50:46] TrevorParscal: Any idea why so many people are complaining about the font size? [20:51:28] font size? [20:51:38] The domain of the wmf should be the IRL aspects. The servers, money, legal issues, promotion, and coordination. The last two should also be done by the chapters where they exist. [20:53:08] TrevorParscal: Yeah they say it's gotten smaller [20:53:36] enhydra: didn't you have same problem? [20:54:26] TrevorParscal: Also, people don't like the ... in the middle of search results [20:54:56] ... [20:55:26] Oh and apparently CollapsibleNav is broken on Opera 9.27 [20:55:44] can you just blacklist that browser for now? [20:56:19] ??? [20:56:23] For... CollapsibleNav? Sure [20:56:41] thedj: reftool isn't working for the new toolbar. it is working good with the old toolbar though [20:57:11] nkomura: only in IE. [20:57:12] Oh and people are apparently explaining slowness and blaming it on the new skin (e.g. "the new look is slow") [20:57:18] nkomura: no idea why, no IE here... [20:57:22] *experiencing slowness [20:57:32] vvv, yes, they’re rendered as 7.5pt in my setup [20:57:33] many browers still have vestor issues [20:57:34] nkomura: i've been looking for IE devs, but can't find any :D [20:57:49] thedj: it is not working for FF3.5 either [20:57:52] Also, multiple complaints about how the search box isn't first in tab order [20:57:53] is it working for you? [20:58:03] they have to convert source->raster->screen unlike raster->screen [20:58:12] nkomura: are you using the gadget ? [20:58:18] yesh [20:58:23] long time ;) [20:58:29] very few drivers support direct svg rendering [20:58:54] RoanKattouw: it is important separate the complain from brokeness [20:59:21] Well [20:59:25] let's focus on the reported broken problems rather than responding to complaints [20:59:29] What I'm saying is that the slowness and Vector aren't related [20:59:50] But there's a gray area between complaints and brokenness sometimes [20:59:53] i wasn't referring to that specific of topic [20:59:56] but in general [21:00:01] i know [21:00:14] but let's not get into the grey zone yet ;) [21:00:41] RoanKattouw: when you have a moment, will you run the query of switch back? [21:00:51] not urgent, whenever you have time [21:01:04] 121 comments on the blog [21:01:29] nkomura: also, if we could get the logo files off being hosted on commons as soon as possible, that would be great too [21:01:41] nkomura: Yes, I had it running somewhere [21:02:23] Prodego: why do you say that? [21:02:54] nkomura: well we had a bit of discussion earlier, my main issue with it is that it gives admins on commons control over the logos of other sites [21:03:47] even if they aren't supposed to change them :) [21:04:04] do you mean non-english language wikipedia? [21:04:43] nkomura: the gadget really does work for me on FF. Have you tried shift refreshing an edit page, in order to purge the browser cache ? [21:04:59] nkomura: well in my case it would be the english one, but it would hold for them all [21:05:07] nkomura, looks like you got the queue all setup. :-) [21:05:26] thedj: i haven't cleared cache, i'll try again later [21:06:20] Prodego: was there an attempt to change english logo? [21:06:26] kibble: thank you! [21:06:54] nkomura: beyond the expected change over with vector's rollout no [21:07:13] but as a matter of practice it makes sense to host the logo of a wiki on that wiki, and not on some other wiki [21:07:27] Hm, this can't be right [21:08:02] Prodego: previous wp logos are also hosted in commons [21:08:18] AHA [21:08:26] nkomura: right, but the actual live logo, the page that if you uploaded something to, it would become the logo, is now at commons [21:08:35] nkomura: My previous account creation-corrected numbers were WRONG, your suspicions were right [21:08:45] phew. [21:09:00] yeah your earlier number scared me [21:10:15] E-mail sent, these numbers are nicer [21:12:04] Prodego: introducing a systematic path for the image is one of the new change, if that is what you are referring to [21:12:14] We already had systematic paths [21:12:46] nkomura: my concern is that now common admins will control all the logos, which is not good [21:13:13] I can understand how you wouldn't want people messing with the logos anyway, but if someone does mess with it, I'd like to be able to fix it and not have to find an admin on commons [21:13:14] Prodego: i hear your concern [21:14:00] Prodego: I hear the people involved want to keep all the logos in one place at least for now. I asked cary whether it's OK to "scatter" them once released, but didn't get an answer [21:14:28] I said it was [21:14:31] when did you ask me that? [21:14:46] I might have missed your answer [21:14:54] In this channel, sometime today, it's been chaotic in here [21:15:05] Prodego neglects to mention that there are no small number of enwiki admins who are also admins on commons [21:15:10] and that admins on commons are fairly easy to find [21:15:15] cary: none of whom are me [21:15:19] Sure but the same probably doesn't apply to, say, barwiki [21:15:22] ah, well, that's the issue. [21:15:24] plus for smaller wikis there may be 0 [21:16:06] cary: So I propose we handle this the same way we initially handled the en logo switch last night: instead of changing the logo path, a staff member simply reuploads the new logo on top of the old one [21:16:46] RoanKattouw, what i said was that after we've established that the changeover has happened on the other wikipedias, after a few days to let it settle, then we could move the logos local [21:17:00] Hm [21:17:17] We would need to keep the Commons logos around and protected for a few weeks after that switch then, because of caching [21:17:37] Absolutely [21:17:45] For us techies, the idea of bundling the switch was so we wouldn't have that problem (we're dumping the caches anyway for the skin switch) [21:18:25] But your solution would work, and Mark was open to it as well [21:18:41] (Again, sorry for missing your initial answer a few hours ago) [21:19:49] :) [21:20:03] what function do i need to hook to a self created collapsible portal section ? [21:20:18] Ah, what? [21:20:43] Like an Interaction section, but some people have home made sections. [21:20:53] because all portals are hidden by default, those things are now broken. [21:21:49] JS-added sections? [21:21:55] yup... [21:23:34] i now set class=expanded on the portal, and forced display:block on the body, but it doesn't listen to collapsing etc now of course. [21:24:22] Hm yeah [21:24:35] [[User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol.js]] [21:26:29] :( [21:26:30] "Thanks guys, everything is back to normal now! I was sure to tell the Foundation exactly what I thought of the changes in the survey they gave when I undid them, although I assume that they're just planning on using the surveys for toilet paper anyhow. :\ ThemFromSpace 21:18, 13 May 2010 (UTC)" [21:27:30] thedj: Mind filing that collapsibletabs thing as a bug? [21:27:38] RoanKattouw: will do. [21:27:38] printing the comments on toilet paper would be most unconvenient [21:27:52] both for readability and for hygienic use [21:28:01] :D [21:28:23] *nkomura is liking the new logo [21:28:45] in the office light, the contrast is nice [21:33:25] <{cary|yoghurt}> One more list to follow: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2010-May/031248.html [21:38:30] cary: That was also posted on wikitech and Bugzilla [21:41:49] ah [21:43:43] By the same guy [21:43:59] Yes [21:44:07] our friend Amir [21:45:28] okay, holy flock [21:45:39] I have 61 notifications for blog comments [21:45:43] and that is in a few hours [21:49:16] cary: ps, logos. don't forget www.wikipedia.org [21:49:48] thedj, not until we resolve the logo issues :) [21:49:51] thedj: Yeah Jay brought that up last night / this morning as well [21:50:46] good. [21:52:45] hmmm comment no #1935 is good [21:53:09] #bodyContent{ font-size: 0.8em; } does break web accessibility rules. [21:53:17] although that is not .body [21:53:39] We actually have such a rule? [21:53:44] TrevorParscal: You getting this? ---^^ [21:54:02] I don't know if *we* have a rule. [21:54:09] unless you're talking about that style rule [21:54:39] CSS rule, yes [21:55:15] yeah, I'm hearing a lot of hate for the smaller font [21:55:20] reading on the blog comments [21:55:29] Me too, reading elsewhere [21:55:41] And the fact that the search box is not at the first tab, Trevor's fixing that [21:56:19] I thought Trevor was working on the logo :)' [21:56:33] i'm done with that [21:56:48] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Tim_Starling&curid=101997&diff=361972287&oldid=361718164 [21:57:00] too lazy to figure out what he is saying [21:57:08] cary: mail sent... [21:57:35] not in my box [21:58:05] *sigh* why are people writing to Tim about this, seriously [21:58:15] dot? [21:58:18] wiki "dot"? [21:58:37] Probably means that the charinsert thingy is broken, which it shouldn't be [21:58:47] TrevorParscal, who did you send it to? [21:58:56] you, moka and jay [21:58:58] that's it [21:59:41] I guess it's still in your outbox [21:59:45] I haven't gotten it yet [21:59:51] i had the wrong addy [21:59:54] resent [22:00:27] reactions to the skin are OF COURSE also on Jimbo's page :D [22:00:56] Oh of course [22:01:46] TrevorParscal, did you fix the SVG too? [22:02:34] yes [22:02:40] okay [22:02:43] that is where i began [22:02:45] :) [22:02:57] there's a special technique for getting it to render well at low-res [22:03:05] there are some relics in the image [22:03:25] relics? [22:04:27] Prominent around the И [22:04:44] or is that depth [22:05:04] Did you mean relief? [22:05:12] haha, the 'dot' guy also posted on brion's page :D [22:05:13] should I lower the intensity of the letter sharpening? [22:05:21] it's easy to do [22:05:37] yes, please [22:05:46] RoanKattouw, no, i mean relics [22:06:22] Hm OK [22:06:47] artifacts is more common usage in "graphics" language [22:06:49] but I get you [22:06:54] artifacts [22:06:54] yeah [22:06:59] that's what I meant [22:07:32] Glyphs? [22:07:56] cahracters [22:08:01] *characters [22:08:25] haha, main page comment: "Never mind the new layout. What is this 'Association Football' of which you speak?: " [22:09:42] no, not characters [22:09:46] or glyphs [22:09:50] artifacts [22:10:07] has nothing to do with glyphs [22:12:52] TrevorParscal: is this something we can all see? [22:13:14] well, I'm working on it right now [22:13:19] ... soon I'm sure [22:13:40] thedj: and for some reason Rich Farmbrough's too [22:16:20] New search field bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23517 [22:17:53] nifty: http://www.becausewecan.org/Wiki_globe [22:19:13] TrevorParscal, I'm trying something in Inkscape [22:19:50] cary: sent you subtle revision [22:30:49] I've got that search field bug too [22:40:51] incredible how many little bugs you still find in 1 day, by deploying to such a large usergroup. people do the darnest things :D [22:47:25] :) [23:00:44] i think we found the cause of the reftoolbar problem [23:00:45] "mw.usability is undefined"; expanding this, the following is highlighted: mw.usability.addMessages( { "cite-section-label" : "Cite", [23:07:35] any tips on how to be sure that mw.usability is loaded ? [23:07:55] this code is in a $j(document).ready atm.
