It is sometimes hard for me to find relevant information. Thus a while ago I asked for deboosting search results on mediawiki.org that include "Template:Historical": https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T274082 Still I'd love to have a way to exclude such pages by default. As time passes by the percentage of obsolete pages will increase. Thus relevant information become harder to find. I consider this a problem. FYI, wikitech.wikimedia.org does have an "Obsolete" namespace (id 110; talk id: 111). Though I do not know how it came to existence and how regularly it is used (as moving pages requires special permissions). IMHO a related issue is that authors and editors need to be more aware of time. I've come across many pages stating "currently" or "next July". Without going to the page history, readers cannot realize that these strings were added years ago and that the page *is* outdated. It may also make sense to show more visibly when a wiki page was last edited and/or that there is a bigger chance that it might be outdated. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T247987 for a vague idea.

"Technical debt" spontaneously brings the following items to my little mind. They should not be about rewriting but rather "maintenance": * librsvg for SVG rendering is a five year old version: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193352 / https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265549 * Graph extension on old Vega version 2.6.3: see subtasks of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T292341 * Scribunto extension on old Lua version 5.1 (last 5.1.x release was in 2012): https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178146 * 3D extension on a five year old three.js library in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T277930#7636129 * Removing the OpenStackManager extension from wikitech.wm.org: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161553 * Removing WVUI from MediaWiki core: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T310244 * Replacing jsduck with JSDoc3 across all Wikimedia code bases: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138401 * Undeploy VipsScaler from Wikimedia wikis: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290759 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151393 (a non-public task) This is not a complete list. Plus there are also separate "waiting for someone to make a decision" and "improving communicating & documenting already-made decisions" categories which would be different lists. Of course there might be valid reasons not to look into some of this technical debt (other higher priorities, high risk, complexity, etc).

I personally think the best solution is to have > separate work boards for team management vs mediawiki component. I strongly agree and advertise having both a project/workboard for the team (violet project tag) AND a codebase project tag (blue project tag) for the software. Scope and thus responsibilities of teams change over time. A ticket may be still valid for a codebase though some team might not steward or maintain this codebase anymore. > Generally i find the priority field an endless source of drama.

Many years ago, restricting who can set/change the Priority field value was discussed in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T819 . Over the years we have become more restrictive in who can change certain aspects of tasks or projects in Phab due to vandalism, e.g. by having Access-control lists (ACL) like the #Trusted-Contributors group in Phabricator (and a similar concept in Gerrit). Adding such restrictions often requires code changes in Phabricator while it seems that WMF does not invest much effort into actively fixing some of the shortcomings of its infrastructure software. Thus some folks might instead prefer to use whatever tools folks are already used to do or tools which presumably serve better folks' needs, with the side effect of decreasing collaboration and transparency.

[Wikitech-l] [Proposal] Disable setting the "Lowest" Priority value in Phabricator
Wikimedia Phabricator tasks have a "Priority" dropdown field (which is
not consistently used) with several discrete values, among them
"Lowest". See [1] for the full list of Priority field values.
Since [2], "Low" and "Lowest" priority share the same definition.
I propose to disable setting the "Lowest" Priority value in Phab tasks.
"Lowest priority" can sound demotivating / disrespectful ("there is
nothing that could be even less important"). However, bikeshedding
about changing the name of the value would ignore further observations:
* About half of the people who are most active in setting initial
Priority values do not ever set Priority to "Lowest"[3].
* There is no significant difference between median age of open tasks
with Low and with Lowest priority[4], thus nothing seems to get
realistically differentiated here.
* Personally I also assume Lowest priority is sometimes used instead
of honestly declining a task (means: "this is not a good idea"[5]).
But of course that is rather hard to prove.
If you have opinions and/or ideas how to interpret data differently,
please add them to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T228759 to keep
them in a single place - either as a text comment, or via "Award Token"
to express support or disagreement without adding words.
Thanks,
andre

Hi Siegfried,
Templates (Bausteine) are local on-wiki content. Local on-wiki content
is managed independently on each wiki, by each wiki community
themselves. A proposal for introducing such a template on a wiki would
need to be discussed on that wiki instead (I assume in this case it
would be the German language Wikipedia).
Cheers,
andre

What does "personal experimentation" mean exactly? There might be exceptions like https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T188852 but generally speaking, as neither https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt nor https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/CommonSettings.php.txt seem to change the MediaWiki software default setting defined in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki/browse/master/includes/DefaultSettings.php$2673 I'd assume that we're at 2MiB.

Hej hej, as you may remember from previous[1] posts[2], we (Alex[3], Bryan[4], Sarah[5], Tricia[6], and me[7]) are working on a developer portal for technical documentation[8] and updating key technical documents. The goal is to make it easier for everyone to find the help and information you need about the technical side of MediaWiki software and Wikimedia projects and to improve the overall quality and discoverability of technical documentation. I'm going to share what has happened over the last months (also see the general schedule[9]). Regarding the technical stack, we decided on a platform[10]. Its work- in-progress codebase is in Gerrit[11] and there might be a demo server soon[12]. This is the technical scaffold; actual content will be added when we get closer to launching in a few months (see the corresponding task graph[13] for work to sort out before launching). We defined core audiences[14] and had nine user tests completed[15] so far. The feedback helped iterate on the Developer Portal content layout draft prototype[16] (which evolved from a unified to a multipage approach). We are also in the process of reviewing and improving many key technical documentation pages (which will get linked from the developer portal). These updates and accuracy checks are based on a review checklist[17]. The checklist may also be helpful for anyone else interested in good technical documentation. For planning documentation review work, we use a Phabricator workboard[18]; you can also find the list of key pages on the project wiki page[19]. To get involved, sign up[20] to participate in user testing for the developer portal. For questions and feedback, leave us a comment on the project talk page[21]. All these efforts are part of the goal to have discoverable docs and paths to entry[22].

Anyone willing to help with this ?

[Wikitech-l] Developer Portal content draft: A future central place which links key technical documents
: Your feedback is wanted on
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Advocacy/Developer_Portal/Content_Draft
Hi everyone,
last year[1] the Developer Advocacy team started to work on a single,
central entry point for developers and tech-minded people for
Wikimedia's technical documentation[2].
A central entry point ("developer portal") would cover common technical
use cases to allow existing and future technical contributors and
developers to find the information they need.
Each use case links to its most relevant documentation (i.e. to pages
on wikitech or mediawiki.org).
This is part of a larger initiative to implement an organization
strategy for key technical documents: Understand challenges about
finding and maintaining docs, identify key docs, and investigate ways
to improve our workflows around documentation.
So far we:
* Researched and reviewed existing documentation venues and pages
* Reviewed developer/documentation portals in the broader industry
* Interviewed several engineering teams around technical documentation
workflows, audiences, and key technical docs (the key themes from
these conversations are available, see the link above)
* Created an initial draft for the structure and content of the single
entry point
Now we would like to improve this initial content draft with your help.
1) Please take a look at the initial draft at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Advocacy/Developer_Portal/Content_Draft
2) Then, please help improve it by sharing your thoughts and feedback
until *May 25th* at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Advocacy/Developer_Portal/Content_Draft/Feedback
Note that this is only a draft how to structure content.
It is not a design or layout proposal and it is not an implementation.
For additional future work, see also the Phabricator workboard[3].
Next steps include:
* A session at the remote Hackathon (May 22-23; [4])
* Incorporate content improvements, based on your feedback
* Check the documents linked from the single entry point proposal for
accuracy
* Investigate requirements for the technical implementation
* Investigate improvements of processes around technical documentation
(structure, locations, navigation, stewardship, etc).
If you want to learn more about the project, please see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_Advocacy/Developer_Portal
Thanks to everybody who has provided their valuable input to get to
this stage, and thanks in advance to everyone who will!
Cheers,
andre

[Wikitech-l] [FYI] Identifying candidates for Gerrit CR+2 permissions
I've been wondering for a while [1] about a way to get a list of quite active reviewers in Wikimedia Gerrit who have not +2'ed any proposed changes in Gerrit, implying that these developers don't have +2 permissions [2] and could be candidates to receive +2 permissions. Last weekend I created a dashboard at https://wikimedia.biterg.io/app/kibana#/dashboard/ffd01840-cdf9-11ea-8358-4d35848e335d It's not very performant but it works. On the left you can filter on a specific reviewer (hover over the name and select the "+" magnifier icon). After enough patience you can see on the right the code repositories in which they have been reviewing proposed patches in the timeframe defined in the upper right corner. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics#List_of_the_most_active_reviewers_without_CR+2_actions is the corresponding documentation. Please use the discussion page if you have any comments or questions.

[Wikitech-l] Proposal to disable the discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org test instance ("Wikimedia Developer Support")
: Make discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org read-only by end of August. See and comment on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T247010 Hi everyone, In January 2018, an experimental instance of the Q platform "Discourse" was set up for developer support at https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org . See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T180854 . Since its launch, the usage of this instance has declined: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T247010#6270883 On average, there are two users who are engaged daily. Other support venues which exist in parallel are much more active, such as IRC, mailing lists, [[mw:Project:Support_desk]], [[meta:Tech]], local technical village pumps, newsletters, Zulip for outreach programs, or other third-party sites such as mwusers.org, StackExchange.com, or Reddit. Discontinuing the least frequented venue (which unfortunately is Discourse though it seems to be a great communication platform) would keep us from further fragmenting our conversations and efforts. Planning, implementing, establishing and running a centralized Wikimedia developer support venue on production infrastructure (puppetization, data backups, uptime, etc) would require significant technical and "social" capacity. If Discourse was to be further evaluated, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155678 and its subtasks list part of the remaining needed work. I propose to make discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org read-only by the end of August 2020. Please comment on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T247010 if you have thoughts to share instead of replying to this message. Because keeping conversations in one place. ;) Thanks a lot! andre -- Andre Klapper (he/him) | Bugwrangler / Developer Advocate https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

It should probably also be added that as a movement, we don't have yet the experience to run remote events and we're all learning. :) This initiative is not a fully planned hackathon, but hopefully a nice opportunity to spend some social and hack time together. I'd also like to explicitly point out that if you plan to work on technical projects which will require deploying changes at some point, please be mindful and make sure to read and follow https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Covid-19 - let's not create more work for fellow developers and keep (some) things stable. Hope to see you there, even if you only join for a few hours!

A cleaner list would be to also filter on "is:mergeable AND label:Verified>=1 AND label:Code-Review>=0" https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:open+AND+is:mergeable+AND+label:Verified%253E%253D1+AND+label:Code-Review%253E%253D0+extension+registration+reviewer:%22Zoranzoki21+%253Czorandori%2540gmail.com%253E%22 That leaves six items. All of them are non-deployed extensions.
