 Because reading

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Wikitech-ambassadors] Update about on-going work on Notifications, especially cross-wiki notifications

[Daren Welsh]

> "Yes, we lack efficient and effective ways of cross-listing conversations"


This is something we would love to address in our organization. Between
email, chat, multiple wiki discussion/Flow pages, and issue trackers (like
Phabricator/GitHub/GitLab), it's difficult to ensure everyone is included
in the conversation and to prevent repetition across multiple conversations.

One approach we use in our wikis at NASA is to tag articles as "Related to"
other articles. Then we can have a query on each page showing everything
that is tagged as "Related to {{PAGENAME}}". We use Semantic MediaWiki for
this, but I'm sure many other approaches could provide similar
functionality. If Flow (or even core MW) could allow for a section of a
page to be tagged as "Related to" other articles, you could somewhat
automate linking. This would probably help people discover related
conversations.

Another idea I'll throw out there is something we have submitted to a few
grant proposals, called Wiki Conversations [1]. Basically, a tool allowing
users to "CC" a wiki, so the content is then "wikified" and linked to
related articles. So conversations like this one could be linked to the
Flow and Echo discussion pages.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Contributing to Wikimedia Foundation

[Bill Morrisson]

Thanks to Andre and Johan for the welcoming message and the tips to start
out in the wikimedia community.
I have been taking my time to look at the different links Andre pointed me
to. Looking at this particular link
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs, I looked at this
particular bug https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116759 and I'm confused
on which particular tables.sql file to modify for there are several
versions of it.

[Wikitech-l] IRC office hour this Thursday: reconnecting with the shared hosting community

[Gilles Dubuc]

As part of T113210 [1], which is a broader discussion on track for the
developer summit, I am hosting an IRC office hour [2] this Thursday at
19:00 UTC.

Since shared hosting is a broad topic, this session will focus specifically
on brainstorming ways to reconnect with the shared hosting community.
Shared hosting mediawiki users are currently underrepresented in the
greater mediawiki community. We rarely run into them in phabricator, on
gerrit or on the mailing lists. Which means that people often have to think
on their behalf about their use cases and issues, instead of getting direct
input.

There must be practical ways to bring those thousands of mediawiki users
back into the fold, so to speak. Hopefully we can come up with interesting
ideas to achieve that.

And if you happen to be a shared hosting user, by all means, please join
this IRC office hour :)

[Wikitech-l] Pageview API

[Dan Andreescu]

Dear Data Enthusiasts,


In collaboration with the Services team, the analytics team wishes to
announce a public Pageview API
.
For an example of what kind of UIs someone could build with it, check out
this excellent demo  (code)

.


The API can tell you how many times a wiki article or project is viewed
over a certain period.  You can break that down by views from web crawlers
or humans, and by desktop, mobile site, or mobile app.  And you can find
the 1000 most viewed articles

on any project, on any given day or month that we have data for.  We
currently have data back through October and we will be able to go back to
May 2015 when the loading jobs are all done.  For more information, take a
look at the user docs
.


After many requests from the community, we were really happy to finally
make this our top priority and get it done.  Huge thanks to Gabriel, Marko,
Petr, and Eric from Services, Alexandros and all of Ops really, Henrik for
maintaining stats.grok, and, of course, the many community members who have
been so patient with us all this time.


The Research team’s Article Recommender tool 
already uses the API to rank pages and determine relative importance.  Wiki
Education Foundation’s dashboard  is going
to be using it to count how many times an article has been viewed since a
student edited it.  And there are other grand plans for this data like
“article finder”, which will find low-rated articles with a lot of
pageviews; this can be used by editors looking for high-impact work.  Join
the fun, we’re happy to help get you started and listen to your ideas.
Also, if you find bugs or want to suggest improvements, please create a
task in Phabricator and tag it with #Analytics-Backlog
.


So what’s next?  We can think of too many directions to go into, for
pageview data and Wikimedia project data, in general.  We need to work with
you to make a great plan for the next few quarters.  Please chime in here
 with your needs.

[Wikitech-l] Wikimedia accepted in Google Code-in 2015 - Bring your tasks!

[Andre Klapper]

Wikimedia is among the 14 organizations in Google Code-in (GCI) 2015!
In Dec & Jan, many young students will want to contribute to Wikimedia.

Will you mentor some tasks? It's easy and fun.

GCI is a great opportunity to let new contributors complete those small
little tasks on your To-Do list! Task areas are: Code, docs/training,
outreach/research, quality assurance, and user interface.

Do your docs on your wiki need some improvements?
Does your template or gadget code needs some updates?
Do you have small and self-contained bugs you'd love to get fixed?
Does your UI have small design issues?
Do your old bugs welcome some testing?

Then become a mentor and enjoy working with a contributor!

Add yourself to the mentor's table on the wiki page, get an invitation
email to register on the contest site, and create tasks (which would
take you 2-3h to complete, or less technical ~30min "beginner tasks")!
Explain the expectations and deliverables in the task. Once the contest
starts on Dec 07, be ready to answer and review contributions quickly. 
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2015#Mentors.27_corner

Need task ideas? Check out the list of "easy" tasks in Phabricator:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs
lists Phabricator queries for your area!

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2015 has all information.
Or just ask and we'll be happy to help!

Thank you!

[Wikitech-l] Design and development principles

[Keegan Peterzell]

Hi all,

Please note that what I'm about to talk about is informative to how the
Wikimedia Foundation develops MediaWiki software.

As you may have seen, engineering in the Wikimedia Foundation is working to
define the software product development process to be used internally [0].
As part of this, I'm working on developing a list of guiding principles for
the software development process [1]. For examples of what this looks like
for some other organizations, please see [2] and/or [3].

There is an initial draft of principles up that resulted from the above,
located on MediaWiki.org [4]. These are high-level principles that are
meant to be overarching reminders of good practice for WMF engineering, a
sort-of poster on the wall. Vagrity is intentional to an extent as a
result. As noted on the wiki page, this list is being developed in spirit
with Wikimedia movement [5] principles, the Wikimedia Foundation's Guiding
Principles for operation [6, and a survey of some staff to find out what is
important to them in the process [7].

Comments, questions, thoughts, and whatnot are welcome on the talk page [8].

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Engineering] IRC office hour this Thursday: reconnecting with the shared hosting community

[Rob Lanphier]

Hi Gilles,

Thanks for leading this!  My reading of your agenda leads me to believe
that this is intended as a "problem solving" meeting, as described in
User:RobLa-WMF/Meetings#Taxonomy.  To quote that article:

*Problem-solving* - Discuss a problem that we don’t know how to solve.

Does that seem like an accurate characterization for what you have planned
on Thursday?  I recommend structuring the conversation (and figure out
action items) to achieve your imagined goal.

Re: [Wikitech-l] What's the previous=yes parameter?

[Brian Wolff]

What did you do to get to a page that had that parameter?

Parameters can come from anywhere, so its hard to say. But I would say
most likely its from javascript (either common.js or gadget) [OTOH:
searching for insource:previous doesn't give me anything]. Most of the
time, MediaWiki would convert that to a url with index.php in it.

If you're annoyed by this yoh should probably upgrade your browser to one
that support media queries.

Wikipedia is not that special that it cant follow the various examples on
the web, meet its mission by ensuring older browsers can tender our content
and focus its energy on the majority of our development time on the people
who can upgrade their browsers

If this point is lost on everyone I give up.
