Indeed. Also developed patches.

His activity can be seen here:

Can we find the open bugs he voted for/awarded tokens to?
And do the hardest one in his honour?

Re: [Wikitech-l] Opening up MediaWiki dev summit in January?

2016-09-02 Thread Matthew Flaschen 

On 09/01/2016 03:35 PM, C. Scott Ananian wrote:
> However, no one was present at the

dev summit who used LanguageConverter on their home wiki, and few folks who
rely on Content Translation routinely.  (Maybe one or two were present, but
not enough to have a reasonable discussion about the future of these
features.)  For better or worse, previous dev summits have had weak
representation from those who are not American users of
projects-other-than-enwiki.


I think this general problem is partly inevitable.

I'm not saying that all Dev Summit attendees are enwiki users, or will 
be in the future.  But I think that even with scholarships and outreach, 
it will inevitably be skewed in a few ways:


1. Almost no one will show up, when compared to our broad user base. 
The people who do come will mostly be a subset of the most enthusiastic 
power users.


Power users are one of the groups we're building software for, but not 
the only one.


This can be mitigated with hard work at outreach to representative users 
who don't typically come to this kind of thing.


But this is also why we need to use other outreach and measurement 
efforts, like EventLogging, to reach and measure the people that don't 
attend summits (and may not answer surveys regularly).


2. The people that do come will be skewed towards being native speakers 
of English.


3. They will be heavily skewed towards being either WMF employees, San 
Francisco, or able to afford to fly.  Scholarships can help with this, 
but only partly.


So I would be careful about seeing this as a great opportunity to meet 
an accurate cross-section of our user base.  We need to be a little more 
strategic when thinking about what to build and who we're building for.


I agree with C. Scott there might be a role for specifically inviting 
key groups of users (e.g. shared hosting) to work with them in person 
and understand their needs.  Though this could be at the Dev Summit, it 
doesn't necessarily have to be.  It could be at Wikimania, or in SF but 
another time, etc.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Grouping phabricator notifications by task

2016-09-02 Thread Mukunda Modell 
This is really great. I've twice attempted build a bookmarklet to do
exactly that, however, I never got it looking good. Your userscript looks
really nice, I can't quite understand why phabricator doesn't have this
feature built in.

Kudos and well done!

You might consider adding a link to
https://secure.phabricator.com/w/community_resources/  so that others might
find it more easily.

The phame blogs are simply a convenient way to get phabricator related

their are also cross-posed to this list as the intended audience is mostly
the same.

Re: [Wikitech-l] [QA] Browser testing user satisfaction survey

2016-09-02 Thread James Forrester 
Interesting patterns there.

Is the plan to follow-up with these with particular actions? That said, it
seems to me a bit muddy as to what activities would best serve the
responses. I suppose education/support work for those that don't feel they
know *e.g.* how to use the rake/grunt entry points, or where to start on
fixing flaky cucumber tests?

Re: [Wikitech-l] How to check in wikipedia that a page is an article or not ?

2016-09-02 Thread Ryan Kaldari 
This is actually a bit complicated. If you have the title of an article,
like "Earth", you would want to do an API query like:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query=Earth=pageprops

You would then need to check 3 different things in the result:
1. Is the page in the main namespace ("ns": 0)?
2. Is the page a redirect? See
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?titles=!=query=pageprops
for an example.
3. Is the page a disambiguation page (pageprops.disambiguation)? See
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?titles=Georgia=query=pageprops
for an example.
