Re: [Wikitech-l] Thank you Tuesday

[Pine W]

Thanks for doing this. The level of participation in the "What's making you
happy this week?" threads has been a bit disappointing, but I'm glad to see
this initiative for Wikitech-l which I think is in the same spirit.

[Wikitech-l] Help: setting a property on page save?

[FreedomFighterSparrow]

I'm trying to solve the following situation: I need to know, for each
article,
the last time it was updated by an actual human. MediaWiki keeps track of
the
last update to the page, but doesn't take into account whether it was
performed
by a bot or a human.

Instead of querying the revision table every time, I thought of saving a
page
property and updating it on page save:
- Is the editor a human*?
  - Yes: update the property.
  - No: Do we already have a last real update date saved?
- Yes: do nothing (keep the last date)
- No: find the latest revision by a human and save the property


The most logical hook seemed to be 'PageContentSaveComplete' or maybe
'PageContentInsertComplete', as I only want to do this if the save actually
went through (if it is failed by something, we shouldn't update).
My problem is, I don't seem to have a way to set a property from there...

I really don't want to have to create my own table just for this.
Any ideas how to solve this? Maybe I'm going about it in a cockamamie way?

Thanks,
- Dror

[Wikitech-l] wmgMonologChannels

[Amir Sarabadani]

Hello,
As part of improving of logging for Wikidata, we found this config [1].
There are four things I want to point out:
1- Some of the loggings mentioned here are outdated. Like there is ones
that was added more than six years ago and still logging at debug level.
Some are needed like 'security' but I'm not sure about "cite", "es-hit",
"Cognate", etc. This much of verbosity will reduce our capacity to catch
real issues.
2- There are logging channels like "Bug58676" that still in use [2] but it
might not be needed any more ([3])
3- If you define a logger channel in mediawiki [4] and don't add it here,
all of its logs will go to vein (using "blackhole" logging manger, I like
the name). This should be documented somewhere.
4- There is no way just enable it and fall back its verbosity to default.
Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

I will make tickets regarding points 3 and 4 but I need dear developers'
attention for the log channels. This list of them:

[2] https://codesearch.wmflabs.org/search/?q=Bug58676=nope==
[3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T60676
[4] Like LoggerFactory::getInstance( 'ORES' )

[Wikitech-l] Thank you Tuesday

[MA]

Hi,

It's Tuesday (my timezone at least) and this week I'd like to thank the
following people for their work and assistance:

.- Martin Urbanec: For his tireless work in the Wikimedia-Site-requests &
Wiki-Setup Phabricator boards, and for his advice in several technical
issues. He does a lot of wmf-config work, and the result is that our
requests for site configuration changes no longer takes a lot of time to
get applied. Thanks a lot.

.- James D. Forrester: For his general work in MediaWiki core and
extensions, and for sharing its expertise and knowledge with us. He's also
willing to review my patches and I was never able to thank him properly for
all the time and advice he's dedicated to help me.

.- Raimond Spekking: For his work in translatewiki.net and his i18n
expertise, and i18n patch review activities. MediaWiki and its extensions
are a success in localisation thanks to his work, and that of Niklas and
the staff of translatewiki.net in general. I appreciate your efforts,
really.

.- Derrick N. Alangi: I'd like to congratulate him for his recent
mediawiki +2 access, which is using to actively review lots of patches
recently, reducing our backlog of patches for review.

Special thanks to the SRE and Security team for their invaluable work as
well. The same to WMDE for their technical advice regular meetings which
are very helpful.

Best regards, M.
