[00:01:12] You need to be a Wikimedia community member who will be creating tools to advance to goals of the Wikimedia mission. [00:01:27] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Quickstart [00:02:22] Yes, I get that [00:02:39] I have already read and agree to the https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech:Cloud_Services_Terms_of_use [00:02:56] I am familiar with the https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Rules [00:05:28] And I have explained that I plan to improve the ecosystem by building web-based widgets as I have been doing for neighborhoods and towns around me to help visitors, as well as help with wiki management by providing tools for identifying when there is a large discrepancy between the coordinates of a feature and the photo for the feature ( personal [00:05:28] pet peeve). [00:07:07] Am I misunderstanding the mission? or is there a secret passphrase to join this exclusive club? [00:09:03] There are zero pending membership requests, so you are at least missing reading that page well enough to get to the point of having requested membership in the Toolforge project. [00:10:22] Just submitted. [00:13:22] It would have been helpful for you to point out that you had been rejected twice. It sounds to us like you are trying to build something that has nothing to do with the Wikimedia movement other than using our data. [00:13:50] Using our data is great! But we generally do not also provide cpu, etc to 3rd party websites [00:14:19] If this were true, I would just scrape the site. [00:14:35] If that is your preference, then fine. I'll do that. [00:15:06] YOu should probably take a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page [00:15:15] But I am offering to provide information to help IMPROVE the wiki platfor, [00:16:54] I'm also a financial supporter of wikipedia, albeit for the last time. This gatekeeping is NOT consistent with the ethos of Jimmy Wales and the Wikipedia I have grown up with. [00:17:31] Your first question to this channel (after the context free attention seeking) now makes some sense. The answer is that you cannot query our repilca databases from a phone app. You can however interact with the Action API [00:18:46] I am familiar with the API. I am happy to scrape the site. I am fine with replicating the databases. I am not seeking attention, but your rudeness will not go unnoticed. Goodbye. [10:18:58] Hello, is anyone else having trouble exporting PDF/EPUB from WikiSource? https://ws-export.wmcloud.org/?lang=en&title=Persia%2FChapter_3 [16:25:28] hey! just double checking, is it OK to send emails by sending them to mail.tools.wmcloud.org? I'm asking as it is still using the old domain, and mail.toolforge.org appears to exist (with a different IP) [16:27:06] urbanecm: mail.tool.wmcloud.org, as specified in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Email [16:27:39] mail.toolforge.org would be a hypothetical "mail" tool [16:27:52] ah, right, that makes sense [16:28:11] so we're not going to migrate to mail.toolforge.org, because the domain name already has a different meaning [16:29:04] in theory today that should be mail.svc.toolforge.org.. but as long as it's not in wmflabs.org I'm happy [16:29:13] :D [16:29:44] thanks :) [16:31:35] urbanecm: If you want to learn more about how we use each TLD, there is quite a bit of information on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Cloud_VPS/Admin/DNS
