[Wikitech-l] ORES extension: Switching backend to Lift Wing for fiwiki and itwiki

[Ilias Sarantopoulos]

Hi everybody!

A couple of weeks ago we started switching the backend used by the ORES
extension which is used by the Recent Changes filters.
After fixing the issue that was caused in some wikis (
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T343308) the Machine Learning team
started rolling out the change again.
We have already deployed the changes to *fiwiki* and *itwiki* and will
continue with the rest of the wikis starting from next week.

This change is using Lift Wing (
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Machine_Learning/LiftWing) to get
revision scores instead of ORES, and is a necessary step in the process of
deprecating ORES (for more info please refer to the "ORES to Lift Wing
Migration
"
email).
The purpose of this change is to use *exactly* the same models which are
also deployed on Lift Wing so there shouldn't be anything different for our
users.

If however you see anything out of the ordinary, feel free to contact
the Machine Learning team:

IRC libera: #wikimedia-ml
Phabricator: Machine-Learning-team tag

Thank you!

Ilias (on behalf of the Machine Learning team)

[Wikitech-l] Datacenter Switchover process change

[Alexandros Kosiaris]

Hello,

I 'd like to inform everyone of what we consider a big change (for the
better) in the Datacenter Switchover process. The full rationale, planning
and implementation is documented at

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Switch_Datacenter/Recurring,_Equinox-based,_Data_Center_Switchovers

and it includes a TL;DR that I am pasting below for everyone's convenience:

Site Reliability Engineering will, starting September 2023, run a data
center Switchover every 6 months, in the week of the solar Equinox
, namely the *work weeks containing
March 21st and September 21st*. If you are interested to learn more about
Switchovers and why we perform them, or already know what they are and want
to learn more about how this proposal would impact your workflows or the
Wikimedia Movement, please read on.


We hope that making the Switchover dates and duration predictable will
allow the teams involved and/or utilizing a Switchover, as well as the
entire movement reap the benefits we anticipate and document in the doc
linked above.


Regards,

[Wikitech-l] Re: Moving Wikimedia Developer Account creation

[Simon Lyngshede]

To add some context to my previous mail:


The Infrastructure Foundations team in Wikimedia Site Reliability
Engineering is working on a new identity management system, named Bitu. It
is intended to be a centralized point for managing logins, password, access
rights and SSH keys for Wikimedia Developer accounts. This is unrelated to
on-wiki user accounts and permissions. The new service is available at
https://idm.wikimedia.org. You can find the Bitu code at
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/repos/operations/software/bitu

In the initial release we focus on moving the developer account signup to
Bitu. It’s important to us that this migration is communicated clearly and
in a way that’s understandable and acceptable to our community, which is
one of the reasons for a slow rollout of features. If you are helping
people with creating a new account, please ask them to use
https://idm.wikimedia.org.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to
sre-foundati...@wikimedia.org. If you have any enhancement proposals or bug
reports please file them in Phabricator with the “Bitu” component.

[Wikitech-l] Moving Wikimedia Developer Account creation

[Simon Lyngshede]

Hi all,

We have removed the developer account signup from Wikitech and are now
directing new users towards https://idm.wikimedia.org instead.

This is the first step in the implementation of our new identity manager,
and a small step towards making Wikitech a little less special.

Part of our documentation was updated yesterday, August 30th, and the first
accounts have already been successfully created.

Should there be a need to re-enable the account creation process on
Wikitech, this can be done by reverting:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/952209/

If you have any questions, concerns or documentation that needs updating,
please reach out to me or the infrastructure foundation team.

Thank you to everyone who helped us get this far.
