Re: [Wikitech-l] Invitation to a "Wikimedia Café" casual online meetup

[Pine W]

Sorry, I started the meeting but the meeting ID number was wrong. I don't
know how that happened. I think that this problem has been corrected, so if
you were trying to connect, please try again.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Thank you Tuesday

[Risker]

That information about the genesis of the code for signatures is very
interesting.  I've included it as a historical footnote on the relevant enwiki
page
,
and others might want to add it elsewhere.  These historical tidbits,
especially one that shows such a lovely human side to the practice of
coding and software development, can become even more meaningful over
time.  Thanks, Magnus - and thanks MusikAnimal for asking the question.

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Engineering] Gerrit now automatically adds reviewers

[Amir Sarabadani]

Hello,
This is Amir, Chair of the code of conduct committee, talking on behalf of
it.

We received several reports about the discussion happening here which we
will handle and act accordingly but in the mean time, we would like to
remind everyone to follow CoC [1] and be more mindful of what they write.
Think with yourself when writing an email "Is this email moving the
discussion forward or it's just criticizing non-constructively?" If the
answer is the latter, please refrain from sending it. Insisting on sending
nonconstructive angry emails will get you banned temporarily or permanently
from this mailing list.

Regards,
Code of Conduct Committee, MediaWiki.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Query

[Thiemo Kreuz]

You can link all your accounts via your user settings on Phabricator.

Except for a little confusion here and there I'm not aware of any
consequences of having different names on Wikitech (which includes
Gerrit) and Phabricator. I happen to have slightly different account
names myself.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Query

[bawolff]

Its totally fine for the accounts to be different. (As long as you aren't
intentionally using multiple accounts to confuse people, of course)

At worse, it might be a tad confusing, but that's totally ok. Putting a
note on your user page listing all your accounts is a good idea to prevent
confusion.

If you log into phab using your "wiki account" (e.g. via OAuth). You can
still link your gerrit account, by going to your preferences in
phabricator. This will make both accounts associated with your phabricator
account.

question to ask. I have different usernames for Gerrit account  and
Phabricator account . Will that create any trouble while contributing the
