[Wikitech-l] [RFC] Rewriting interwiki into sites

I put together an RfC page for rewriting interwiki into sites to collect a list of all the things that are needed out of a proper sites implementation. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/New_sites_system I tried to find all the ones I could. Try to point out any I missed.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Use cases for Sites handling change (Re: Wikidata blockers weekly update)

Hey, You mention using a global id to refer to sites for making links. And synchronization of the sites table. So you're saying that this part of Wikidata only works within Wikimedia projects right? Does Wikidata overall only function within Wikimedia projects. Or is there a different

Re: [Wikitech-l] Use cases for Sites handling change (Re: Wikidata blockers weekly update)

Hey, I was asking how you planned to handle sites in 3rd party wikis. Do you have a separate mechanism to handle links from 3rd party clients? Or are they supposed to sync their sites from Wikimedia's Wikidata? AFAIK we're providing full urls in our export formats, not sure what our current

[Wikitech-l] Design comments

I found this not at all bad looking. whatever your take, it's always nice to have an outside view: http://www.wikipediaredefined.com/ ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Re: [Wikitech-l] Design comments

I have a feeling that they are trying to make Wikipedia pretty, but at the cost of making it much less functional. For example, to get to Czech Wikipedia from www.wikipedia.org, I have to roll over the top right corner? That's absolutely unusable, I would never think of that. Petr Onderka

Re: [Wikitech-l] Design comments (and note about no-www)

For example, to get to Czech Wikipedia from www.wikipedia.org, I have to roll over the top right corner? That's absolutely unusable, I would never think of that. Even better, the smaller wikis have very little screen space, so it might be impossible to get to them! Great design. And I was

Re: [Wikitech-l] Design comments

I haven't really looked at the discussion, but I just want to note that several members of the design team at WMF have been working on speculative full redesigns for some time (myself included). Some of the functional ideas expressed in Wikipedia Redefined are in our concept, along with others.

[Wikitech-l] configuring and autoloading the profiler

I've been tracking a performance problem which took me into this profiler autoloading code by way of a false trail, so I am ignorant of the development history, but at least I have come to this with fresh eyes. I have also trawled the DL for relevant threads, and my topic is related to a

Re: [Wikitech-l] Design comments (and note about no-www)

Are there statistics available about the number of people that go to www.wikipedia.org and then go to specific language wikipedias? On 14 August 2012 20:08, Mark Holmquist mtrac...@member.fsf.org wrote: For example, to get to Czech Wikipedia from www.wikipedia.org, I have to roll over the top

Re: [Wikitech-l] Design comments (and note about no-www)

That's what they proposed it should look like. Currently, there is a direct link to the Czech Wikipedia (and all the other Wikipedias) on www.wikipedia.org, like you said. But in the proposal from http://www.wikipediaredefined.com/, which is what I was replying to (but wasn't quoted in Mark's

[Wikitech-l] Gerrit evaluation: where we stand

== Gerrit == For the time being, we're sticking with gerrit for ops, MediaWiki core, and extensions: * it works for what we need * we have existing deployment workflows built on it * it's being actively developed, and various improvements are coming in That said there are known negatives; the

Re: [Wikitech-l] Gerrit evaluation: where we stand

The good news for those who aren't so fond of Gerrit is that we do have some nice alternatives on the horizon, which we can start working with and improve... we'll be re-evaluating things across the board for core extensions next year. (Ops can keep Gerrit forever if they like it, that's not

[Wikitech-l] Lua deployed to test2wiki

The Lua extension (Scribunto) is now enabled on test2wiki. Feedback would be greatly appreciated, especially if it comes in the form of bug reports and feature requests filed in the Scribunto component in Bugzilla.
