The last reminder (I promise!) that we are officially closing the survey
today, but we will not be looking at the results until Monday... ;)

Many good and bad changes I can live with. One thing I will miss:

Yeah, if it's possible to make these wrap instead of horizontal 
scrolling, that would be great. There is way too much scrolling 
everywhere, even on large displays.


Here's a bunch of other design things I'm hoping we can fix, since 
they're all a bit glaring:


 * Diffs - using icons for back to change, previous file, next file is
   very unclear and hard to find; new users will not see them and have
   any idea what to do with them. The current textual 'up to change',
   previous/next file is immediately clear and would be great to
   maintain. (The side-by-side and unified diff icons are also very
   strange, like fuzzy rgb blobs, but at least they're a bit clearer.
   Sort of.)
 * Commit message - limiting the height doesn't really help anything
   since if there's a long commit message, presumably it's long for a
   reason and we still want to see it. And it really makes it worse on
   small screens where we need to scroll through everything anyway, so
   the fewer separate things we need to scroll through, the better.
 * Diff preferences - white text on black background is very bad,
   especially when it suddenly appears on top of an interface that uses
   black text on white.

 * Padding - please more. Things should not be shoved up against other
   things. It makes them hard to pick out and read things at a glance,
   and the entire thing looks a lot messier and overly busy than it
   actually is; there should be padding around each bit of content (esp
   the commit message stuff), and at the end of blocks in order to
   distinguish them from the blocks that come after.
 * The very narrow scrollbars are weird and unnecessary, and hard to
   use. Considering most people are probably either on a system that
   already has similar by default (and hides them when not in use), or
   have large system scrollbars for a reason (hi), would it be possible
   to just remove that?

 * hrs probably need styles
 * Solid black lines are generally bad

 * Is there any way we can put the different file opening options back
   on the main change page? The view side-by-side diff, view unified
   diff, and now the edit file option too, instead of only having the
   filename as a link? It opening up to whatever mode was last open is
   really weird behaviour, especially with edit, since closing the edit
   mode always dumps the user back onto the main change page instead of
   going back to viewing the diff, and then when they click on the file
   again it takes them back into edit mode, which they don't want, and
   the obvious path at that point is 'close', even though the only way
   back to the diffs for anything at that point is the rather ambiguous
   icons in the corner of the edit thing.


Assuming it's at least pretty trivial to append css, here's a quick fix 
for the commit message box:


.com-google-gerrit-client-change-CommitBox_BinderImpl_GenCss_style-collapsed 
.com-google-gerrit-client-change-CommitBox_BinderImpl_GenCss_style-scroll {

padding: 1em;
height: auto;
}
.com-google-gerrit-client-change-CommitBox_BinderImpl_GenCss_style-header {
padding: 1em;
}

Quick fix for the diff preferences:

.com-google-gerrit-client-diff-PreferencesBox_BinderImpl_GenCss_style-dialog 
{

background: rgba( 240, 240, 240, .9 );
color: #000;
border: solid 1px #ccc;
text-shadow: none;
}
.com-google-gerrit-client-diff-PreferencesBox_BinderImpl_GenCss_style-table 
td,
.com-google-gerrit-client-diff-PreferencesBox_BinderImpl_GenCss_style-table 
th {

color: #000;
}

Maybe?

hr {
border: solid 1px #ccc;
}

Note that all colours are made up on the spot, I don't know anything 
about how gerrit actually comes up with these crazy class names, so 
nothing is really guaranteed with these snippets, etc etc. But please, 
if we can make this better, that would be great. Some of the new 
features are already great. Also the other things.

[Wikitech-l] Discovery Weekly Update for the week starting 2016-07-11

[Chris Koerner]

Hello again,
I hope your day is going well.

Here is this week's update from the Discovery department.

== Search ==
* Mikhail completed a review of the language-identification A/B test (using
TextCat). The full report is on Commons. [1]
* Trey has more language-identification–related stuff: notes on how to
introduce confidence to TextCat [2] (comments and ideas especially
welcome!), a re-review of the languages of poorly performing queries on
English Wikipedia [3] using our now-standard corpus creation process (TL;
DR: quite similar to earlier results); and similar first-time reports for
Portuguese and Russian Wikipedias [4], with Japanese and Indonesian in the
pipeline.
* Trey and Jan collaborated on a new design of the TextCat demo [5]
* Team discussing deploying the new TextCat language detection to wikis:
en, it, fr, de, es with more language wikis to come in the future [6]
* a cute picture of a cat and dog, just because [7]

== Maps ==
* Map's geoshapes service is now available in graphs: Interactive maps with
regions [8]
* Wikivoyage map customizations have moved into the extension code, now
available on all WV languages. Customize it via MediaWiki:Kartographer.js
and MediaWiki:Kartographer.css [9] [10]

== Wikipedia.org Portal==
* Conversation with the community continuing for new Wikipedia.org portal
page layout with a new language by article count dropdown. [11]
** The page has been translated, so far, in 8 languages and posted on
various Village Pump sites;
** a new working prototype has been added [12]
** and a new mock up design has been added which was based off of community
feedback. [13]
* Released findings and conclusions of the recent survey ran on the
Wikipedia.org portal page - how did you arrive at Wikipedia - that also
contains good feedback on the portal design page, the sister project links
with descriptive text, search and usage on various platforms. [14]
* Conversation with the community on handling search queries with question
marks also continues [15]
** this page has been translated into 5 additional languages
* Team conversations started about how to package portions of the wikipedia
portal page to make it easier to re-use across all projects that want it.
[16]
* Team conversations started about how to automate stats updates on the
wikipedia portal page [17]

== Events and News==
* Erik was promoted to Senior Software Engineer, yay!
* Discovery Quarterly review was held [18]
* Geo Search was launched by the Discovery Search team on behalf of the
Reading team [19]

Re: [Wikitech-l] Gerrit 2.12.2 test instance - PLEASE TEST

[Markus Glaser]

This update will definitely improve our experience with git. As others have 
said before, the inline editing will greatly speed up the review process and 
improve code quality. This is especially true for the extensions, as you now do 
not have to clone a repo or reject the commit just to fix a typo or some coding 
conventions. Thanks for making this happen! 

I found that the behavior of my old search filters has changed. I used to look 
for bluespice status:open to get all open commits in all bluespice repos. This 
however does not work in the test instance, I only get a small subset of the 
commits I need to see. There are ways around this, e.g. ownerin:bluespice 
status:open, so I am not too concerned about it. Am not sure whether it affects 
other extension writers, though.

Cheers,

Markus

Re: [Wikitech-l] The Revision Scoring weekly update

[mathieu stumpf guntz]

Hey, it looks like it works with the right URL ^^

Admittedly, I had manually changed the "en" to "fr" rather than using 
the "in other languages" tool box. /o\


Thank you Aaron.

Looks like the frwiki version is at
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Label, not
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Labels :)

FWIW, the frwiki version is working for me just fine.  Let me know if it
still doesn't work at the appropriate URL.  Then, I think that Amir might
be right about conflicting gadgets.

Hey,
You probably enabled a gadget that is broken causing wikilabels not working
properly (we had this issue in fawiki a while ago). I tested it and it was
okay in frwiki. First, try to disable your gadgets in frwiki and if that
was the case try to understand what is the broken gadget (e.g. check
console log). If that was not the case, please open a phabricator bug and
put console log. I will investigate it.

Best

Hi Amir,

Could you give me more information on the wikilabels campaigns for
French WP? Is there a way to contribute on this? I did followed
instructions on documentation page
 to install the JS on meta
. Then when
I go on the English Wikipedia
, it works™. But on the
French version  it
doesn't.

What did I missed? ^^
