Re: [Wikitech-l] 2018-09-05 Scrum of Scrums meeting notes

Thanks very much for the explanation. I have more questions but they're out of curiosity and I don't want to "hold the train" with additional questions. After the switchover and switchback are done, if someone writes a blog post or report about the why and how of these events, I'd like to read it.

[Wikitech-l] Change tag reading from the new column in the beta cluster

[Wikitech-l] Overriding MW core messages via extension

Is it possible to override messages part of MediaWiki core via an extension. I tried adding to an extension's en.json file and that didn't seem to work, but am wondering if there's another way. Is it possible for an extension to add a language? If so, then the extension's mylang.json file could

Re: [Wikitech-l] Roadmap for CX?

Hello, More than a year has passed since the email below and subjectively, editors are complaining just as much about not being able to save changes and other nuisances. Now, I know that wikipedians are not shy about expressing their discontent, but I also cannot overstate the impact CX can have
