Re: [Wikitech-l] Git + Gerrit is a toughy
On Sat, Feb 18, 2012 at 2:47 AM, Andrew Otto o...@wikimedia.org wrote: 2. Do I need to rebase every time I push for review? I don't quite understand what is going on here. I've installed git-review and am using this to push to git. It does a rebase by default. I'm not sure if I should be turning that off or not. Rebases seem like a bad idea unless you really need to do them. I think git-review is doing a rebase by default so it can squash all of your local commits into one big review commit before pushing. Yuck! This would surely mean fewer commits to review in Gerrit, but it destroys real the history. It is making git work more like subversion, where you just work locally until everything is good and then have one big commit. I should be able to commit often and be able to share my commits with other developers before having everything reviewed. Yes, you need to rebase before you push. The rebase does not exist to squash multiple commits into one, but to ensure that your commit can be merged cleanly. This fits the gated trunk model, but it looks like you don't necessarily want to gate your working branch at all, just your master. IMO you should ask Ryan to set up direct push access for your working branches, so you can just git push into them directly, bypassing review. You can then merge your branch into master, and submit that merge commit for review. 3. How does Gerrit handle merges? Do all merge commits need to be re-approved? Yes. 4. What should I do in the following situation? I have a branch I recently made from master. I've made some changes and pushed them to gerrit. My changes have been approved. Now I want to sync master into my branch. I do git merge master Why did you merge master into your branch, rather than merging your branch into master? That doesn't make much sense to me. Then resolve any conflicts and commit. How should I push these changes? The commits that make up the merge have already been approved in gerrit on the master branch. Do I need to push for review using git-review? They've already been approved, so I would think not. But gerrit will currently not allow me to push without using git-review (is that because the commits need a Change-Id?). Yes, you need to submit the merge commit for review. If some commits don't have a Change-Id, git-review can't submit them, but I don't see how that could be the case. You said the commits were already approved in gerrit, *and* they don't have a Change-Id? Those things can't both be true. Since gerrit doesn't let me do a regular git push to push my master merge to the remote branch I am tracking, I do git-review. Perhaps you should ask for regular pushes to be allowed if you're not using the review workflow for that branch, see also above. This does rebase by default, so for some reason I am stuck having to resolve every single commit that was made to master in order to get the merge to push. This takes quite a while, but I did it, and once the interactive rebase was finished I was able to git-review to push the merge from master. Great. Now I that my branch is in sync with master again, I want to merge it into master. git checkout master git merge my_branch All good. Then what? Since I can't do just 'git push', I try git-review again. The same thing happens. I have to run through the whole interactive rebase routine and resolve each of my commits from my_branch manually. I do that, then run 'git-review' again. Now I get this error message: remote: Hint: A potential Change-Id was found, but it was not in the footer of the commit message. To ssh://o...@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/analytics/reportcard.git ! [remote rejected] HEAD - refs/for/master/master (missing Change-Id in commit message) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://o...@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/analytics/reportcard.git' Each of the commits I merged from my_branch come with their own Change-Id in the commit messages. But these commits are now merge commits (I think?), so they have information about the merge and any conflicts in the commit message below the original Change-Id. I think this is confusing Gerrit, because it doesn't see the Change-Id in the footer. There is a bug in git that causes merge commits to not automatically get Change-IDs. After generating a merge commit, you need to run git commit --amend , then save without changing anything. That makes sure the commit-msg hook is run and the Change-ID is appended.

URL: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/111439#c31198 Commit summary for MediaWiki.r111439: Introduce property: and itemprop: support for addMeta to add RDFa meta property=... content=... and Microdata meta itemprop=... content=... to the head. This is done in a way that can also be feature tested, and technically could be expanded by extensions. GWicke's comment: For WebPage, that definitely makes more sense. The only trouble I see with the global scope is that stray itemprops in the content would end up in the outermost itemscope. But that should be fixable in the parser. I am still not that happy with the need to use an extra hook to avoid producing invalid microdata. Some of the WebPage schema data would be naturally added in the skin (mainContentOfPage for example), so it might make sense to add this itemtype and itemscope on the html element in the skin as well. Header itemprops from other itemtypes could still be added using absolute URLs in itemprop names. If we allow users to replace the itemtype on the html element arbitrarily, then we could not use something like WebPage to mark up parts of the page in the skin- at least not without using absolute URLs throughout. Afaik right now search engine crawlers don't yet use itemprops with absolute URLs, but I guess that might change (hopefully also in the HTML spec) once mixing multiple itemtypes becomes more common. Until then, we have to decide if something like WebPage or an arbitrary user itemtype should take precedence. I would vote for a static itemtype like WebPage, as it covers most of the metadata already published with pages. ___ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list mediawiki-coderev...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview

Alex Brollo schrieb: Is there a sound reason to hidden so well the main id of pages? Is there any drawback to show it anywhere into wikies, and to use it much largely for links and API calls? Not for API calls, but for links. For the API you can use mw.config.get(wgArticleId) without problems, but there are some downsides to use the page ID in regular links: * a link should show the page title, not just a intransparent number * pretty urls, see also http://www.mediawiki.org/?curid=2852 (???) * the id may stay consistent when moving a page, but that should be done with redirects. But when a page was deleted, having only the uri (http://de.wikipedia.org/?curid=6770594) won't help you anything (invalid title). But visiting http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurmina, you will see at least the deletion log. There was also a discussion at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Projektdiskussion/WP_-_Teil_des_www, since then we have a gadget in deWP to show a secont permanent link with curid.

Re: [Wikitech-l] About page ID
Thanks! I'll save this talk as a reference. Really my question was focused on possibile risks or safety issues; it's so strange that a database (since I see wikisource as a database) is mainly indexed, from the user's point of view, on a variable field as title of the page, that I suspected some serious safety issue. And - strangely enough - id is not shown at all into pages, nor there's any magic word or other user friendly method to get it. From a practical point of view, many from wikisource page titles are very long, often they use non-ascii characters and mixtures of capitalized and not capitalized characters, they can't be used as they are as local file names... in brief, I feel all this stuff almost as annoying as the apostophes used in wiki markup for bold and italic. ;-) Alex ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

This is done in a way that can also be feature tested, and technically could be expanded by extensions. Dantman's comment: * Sure perhaps we should fix stray itemprops in the parser. Even without a html scoped WebPage the Microdata spec basically indicates we should be stripping out itemprops that way anyways. * I have no plans to add any global Microdata into the skin. This feature is added for extensions that have a reason to do that. Whether it's a WebPage Microdata item, or there is some other type of spec they want to add. * http://schema.org/WebPage actually departs a little from the Microdata spec's rules. You can actually completely omit an itemscope and itemtype, and search engines will assume that html is a WebPage itemtype and stray itemprops belong to it. ___ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list mediawiki-coderev...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview

[Wikitech-l] MediaWiki Workshop: MediaWiki's ResourceLoader - 2/23/2012 on #wikimedia-dev
Greetings! Building on the success of our inaugural session, MW.org's WikiProject Extensions is presenting our next MediaWiki Workshops for developers (volunteer and staff). MediaWiki's ResourceLoader will be held on 23 February, 2012 at 21:00 UTC in IRC (#wikimedia-dev). This IRC workshop will be an opportunity to learn more about utilizing MediaWiki's ResourceLoader. Also an opportunity to ask questions about developing MediaWiki extensions. Everyone is invited to attend. Developers interested in serving as extensions or ResourceLoader experts are encouraged to signup as participants at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiProject_Extensions/Workshops#MediaWiki_ResourceLoader_Experts MediaWiki Workshops typically last one hour, and happen no more than twice a month to present trainings, hold discussions and collaborate on community or WikiProject Extensions projects. Facilitators host the session to introduce any presenters, determine the order of questions, and generally helps to keep things going. Time of day will vary in order to offer people in different parts of the world the opportunity to participate. Future topics will likely include MW.org documentation, API orientation and workshops similar to our inaugural chat to prepare for each MediaWiki release. More information: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiProject_Extensions/MediaWiki_Workshops MediaWiki.org's WikiProject SysAdmins will also likely host similar MediaWiki Workshops to help third-party wiki system administrators. Stay tuned for more information, and chime in at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiProject_SysAdmins/Ideas I look forward to seeing folks on Thursday!

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Mediawiki-l] authentication on Wikipedia via user_name OR user_email

Sorry, could you detail why it won't be enough! You could well be storing the email instead of the username in the page history. I was probably not clear enough: I don't want the email in the page history. Also the Realnames extension (quoted above) is trying to do what you seem suggesting but it is a complex extension which did not work on 1.18 for example. The proposed patch is also a solution which manages the transition for Wikipedians. Having an authentication with e-mail only is brutal and won't be understood. I like the possibility of having both option with a priority to username for performance also. But allowing new authors from Arabic or Asian (or Russian or ...) countries (with non Roman characters) to sign new articles in their own language with their own standard, not transliterated, signature will be appreciated if they also have an easy way to authenticate on an English keyboard (pad, smartphone etc.). As I said, you should fix it in SpecialUserlogin.php. What should I fix? Is there something wrong in the proposed patch? Then, just try to enter your e-mail on a standard wiki in place of your username and you will be authenticated to the first ID (and user_name) having your e-mail. The importance of e-mails as a simple way to authenticate on modern sites can't be ignored. It can also expose the fact that someone is registered there with that email address. I don't understand what you mean and if someone has already entered an email for a username what is the problem? In the patch provided, it would also happily show under some circunstances the username associated to an email (not a problem for the internal wiki of a company, where everybody know each other's mail, an issue for public wikis out there). That is the reason why I was asking this mailing list. But, as I said in a previous and detailed answer to Bergi, the patch is very short (a single if) and thus consequences are not tremendous. We made some tests on various wikis, and we haven't found yet any circumstance where the username associated to an email is displayed: - it can't happen when the authentication works; - the only situation that I have found is when you are asking for a new password: then the username associated with the email entered (in place of the username) is displayed in the received email, but it is not a security issue because you are the only person to read your email. If you want to enter your standard username for authentication you can do it too. But if your username is not a Roman but an Arabic, Thai, Japanese etc. username or even a French username with accents and if you decided to have authorship recognized in your own language and not only in a English transliterated way, you can also do it with as standard mediawiki installation. But if you are working with somebody who has an English keyboard only, the copy-paste of your Unicode username may be tedious and you would prefer to enter your e-mail address. The modified Login form could be: Username (or e-mail address): |___| Password: |___| Changing the text displayed there is trivial (edit MediaWiki:yourname). It seems that MediaWiki:Yourname is deprecated. The (or e-mail address) sentence must be translated too in all languages (more than 15 for Demopaedia). But I think that it is no a problem neither for us nor for Wikipedia.

Re: [Wikitech-l] About page ID
Some of the urls to Wikipedia will fail when converted by the mechanism in Twitter, so you either must use the ugly url in the tweet or use a short url. Because you usually want to control the overall length you must convert it to a short url before you know how long it will be. In my opinion it wold be better if there was a simple way to generate short urls that also identified Wikipedia as such.
