[Wikitech-l] Deprecation logging in production

Noticed earlier today, because some code that had been deprecated since 1.21 was removed and starting causing fatals, that we don't log deprecation notices in production. This has now been fixed. Please check logstash for `channel:deprecated` and see if anything you are reposinsible for is using

Re: [Wikitech-l] +2 request for yurik in mediawiki and maps-dev

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think If someone has +2 rights before joining WMF, leaving WMF is not a reason to remove rights at all. If there was a case someone abuse their power and gets fired because of that. "The abuse" should be the reason to lose the right not "leaving WMF"/"being

Re: [Wikitech-l] +2 request for yurik in mediawiki and maps-dev

To be clear, i think some common sense should apply - e.g. If someone was fired for trying to put a backdoor in MW they shouldnt automatically get their rights back. But generally speaking if they were trusted before WMF, I trust they have the maturity after WMF to use their rights appropriately

Re: [Wikitech-l] +2 request for yurik in mediawiki and maps-dev

I support restoring the rights in this case, but I'm not sure it should be automatic in all cases. If having +2 rights is relatively harmless and reversible, then an automatic (but announced) restoration of the rights should be fine. The issue is that someone who leaves the foundation could do so

Re: [Wikitech-l] Creating a broken link

You need to add the "new" class to a link for it to be a red link, but there's no simple way to do this in standard wikitext markup. You'd have to something like enable raw html, add an extension that allows adding attributes to link syntax, or you maybe add a CSS rule so you could for example put
