Once that happens, (...) I recommend them to look at the definition of the views used at the toolserver. Approving everything that is already available at toolserver should be straightforward. It's obviously possible that some new column is missing from ts right now. (I know our people of legal is quite technical, but making them analyze mediawiki database structure is probably asking too much) Oh, and Asher/Peter, if it would be also possible to get texts from External Storage (through a gateway process, perhaps) I'm sure that would be welcome. _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
