Re: [Wikitech-l] 2016W40 ArchCom-RFC meeting: future of magic links

[C. Scott Ananian]

I just have anecdotal knowledge based on
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T117165 -- people seem to use ISBNs in
citations often enough to complain when they are 'ed by Visual
Editor, but I don't remember ever having any complaint about s
around the RFC or PMID magic links.

[Wikitech-l] Fwd: [Wikidata] Wikimedia Foundation directly funding Wikidata

[Pine W]

Forwarding.

Subject: [Wikidata] Wikimedia Foundation directly funding Wikidata
To: "Discussion list for the Wikidata project." <

Hello folks,

An information that you could find useful : since the beginning of
Wikidata, the project and the development team (led by Wikimedia Germany)
were funded by the Wikimedia Foundation, through the Funds Dissemination
Committee, and by third parties. From now, the Wikimedia Foundation will
directly fund expenses for Wikidata software development. The two
organizations signed an agreement to have direct funding at least for the
next 3 years. This is good news, showing the strong support of our project
by the Foundation and will allow us more stability in the future.

You can read the full blog post here: https://blog.wikimedia.org/

Thanks for making Wikidata more and more awesome every day :)

Question: do we have any kinds of numbers yet on how widely these are
used across WMF projects?

It's info something we could probably get out of either Elasticsearch or the
dumps probably :)

Re: [Wikitech-l] Looking for WikiDev Summit main topics and volunteers

[Quim Gil]

Hi Mathieu, let me retry to reply with a generic answer that might be
useful to other people thinking about proposing topics for the Summit.

Let's start with the definition of the Wikimedia developer Summit:

"The annual meeting to push the evolution of MediaWiki and other
technologies supporting the Wikimedia movement."

Is your topic within scope? Then let's continue with the main topics
proposed for this edition:

* A plan for the Community Wishlist 2016 top results
* Handling wiki content beyond plaintext
* A unified vision for editorial collaboration
* Building a sustainable user experience together
* Building on Wikimedia services: APIs and Developer Resources
* How to manage our technical debt
* Artificial Intelligence to build and navigate content
* How to grow our technical community

Does your proposal fit in any of these main topics? If so, you are
especially encourage to submit a proposal for an activity. If not, you
still can propose an Unconference session. The interest raised by your
proposal (in the form of active participation and subscribers) will help
you and us organizers figure out the best time and place for this activity.

Hi,

Errr, not exactly. Step 1 is to disable the magic link functionality by
default for the MediaWiki 1.28 release, and mark it as deprecated. We
would add a tracking category for each type of magic link if they are
still enabled. And regardless of magic link enabling status, we would
add a {{ISBN:...}} parser function to make a convenient link to
Special:Booksources. (RFC/PMID are replaced using interwiki links). At
this time nothing would be moving to an extension.

> 2.  Deprecation strategy for Wikimedia wikis (e.g. Wikipedia)

Most of the migration can be done using a bot with some basic regexes,
but the key part will be adapting templates to generate links (e.g. ISBN
citation templates) instead of relying upon magic link functionality.

> 3.  Disable magic links hooks a year later (in time for the next

More specifically, removing all magic link functionality from MediaWiki
core. We would move the Booksources code and ISBN parser function to an
extension.

Yes, I think having a decision about the time sensitive parts (for
MediaWiki 1.28) would be a good goal.

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend due to a conflict with school,
but cscott has volunteered to represent me and the RfC tomorrow. :)
