There's a lot I'd have to say on the subject, but I think the one thing we all can agree is this: it should be easy for people to share their code with others via Wikimedia's git service(s). We want third parties to share and go open, not close down their repositories and pretend that sharing their

Hi, I've wasted a great deal of time today trying to figure out what was causing issues in resource loader, whereby execution of JS seemed to randomly abort without any errors. It turns out that a harmless call to jQuery's .data() within RL was the cause. But not because of mediawiki code... it wa

All, New hardware is in place and we've got plenty of breathing room to wrap up the migration to the new search engine. The only wikis not already on it are: frwiki, zhwiki, dewiki and enwiki. We're planning to switch frwiki next Wednesday, Nov. 5th. If all goes well with that, I'd like us to do

Hi, I said that I don't know how to do this correctly, so I can't fix the documentation. So no, I will not fix it, because I can't. Regarding your suggestion, it might be a good idea, but apparently even the "always up-to-date" API documentation returned by api.php is outdated and its example que

Why not use the always up-to-date API documentation returned by api.php itself? Rollback should be this doc-page: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=rollback Maybe you can help us fixing the API documentation, so, if you know, how to do a rollback, you can fix the doc on mw.o

More ranting: proper deprecated-message should look like this: "foo is deprecated. Please use bar instead (see http://awesomedocs.net/how-to-use-bar.htm)" It would be cool if mw devs who keep deprecating things would consider this. Thanks On Thu, Oct 30, 2014 at 10:12 AM, Petr Bena wrote: > B

Before someone come with something like: if documentation is wrong, fix it I don't know what the correct way is, because I am following the documentation which is wrong, so until someone who knows how to do this right fix it, I won't know that either. On Thu, Oct 30, 2014 at 10:11 AM, Petr Bena
