[Wikitech-l] [Train] 1.35.0-wmf.31 status update (blocked)

2020-05-06 Thread Brennen Bearnes 
The 1.35.0-wmf.31 version of MediaWiki is blocked[0], and has been 
reverted to group0.


The new version can't proceed beyond group0 until this issue is resolved:

* T252079: mw.wikibase.getLabelByLang('Q1','en') returning nil today
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T252079

Assuming a fix, the train will resume, at the earliest, during the 
European backup conductor's workday.


Thanks for any help in resolving this issue.
