[Wikitech-l] MediaWiki Train Status: Group1 rolled back to 1.31.0-wmf.21

[Mukunda Modell]

The deployment of 1.31.0-wmf.22 revealed a critical bug[1] immediately
after I pushed the new branch to group1 wikis. Group1 was rolled back to
wmf.21 pending the resolution of T187942. Refer to Phabricator for details
and discussion. I will attempt to resume the train later today, assuming
blockers[2] have been resolved.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Reboot of irc.wikimedia.org

[Alexandros Kosiaris]

Hello everyone

This has just happened. Most bots seem to have already reconnected
successfully and so has the rc-pmtpa bot. Everything seems to be in
order.

Regards,

Re: [Wikitech-l] Wikistats 2.0 - Now with Maps!

[mathieu stumpf guntz]

Hi Nuria,

Thank you for the report, and congratulation to all people involved in 
releasing this tool. It would be fine to also have map with editiors and 
active editors.


By the way, is there somewhere where I could find total active editors 
of all wikisources? Surely I could sum that through API (providing that 
it exposes such a data for each language), but it would be fine that 
everybody could have a straight forward access to this kind of cross 
language data. I think there real are usecases for that, actually I'm 
looking for number of active wikisourcerer to evaluate number of 
attendees we might set for the next Wikisource conference.


Cheers.

Hello from Analytics team:

Just a brief note to announce that Wikistats 2.0 includes data about
pageviews per project per country for the current month.

Take a look, pageviews for Spanish Wikipedia this current month:
https://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/es.wikipedia.org/reading/pageviews-by-country

Data is also available programatically vi APIs:

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/AQS/Pageviews#Pageviews_split_by_country

We will be deploying small UI tweaks during this week but please explore
and let us know what you think.

Thanks,

Nuria
