To be clear, only MediaWiki core and extensions are put on hold -- not any other users of translatewiki, including WMF-built applications? ~Leon On Thu, Sep 27, 2018 at 7:21 PM John Bennett wrote: > Hello, > > This update is to add some additional information we are now able to share > in

I wrote a rollback script, currently running as CommunityTechBot and previously Community Tech bot . It seems to work, aside from setting the triage level, which hopefully isn't a huge

Re: [Wikitech-l] Can/should my extensions be deleted from the Wikimedia Git repository?

I noticed CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md apparently wasn't forcibly added to repositories hosted on GitHub that are within the Wikimedia organization (some Diffusion repos too, it seems). GitHub is not WMF infrastructure, sure, but github.com/wikimedia/wmf-built-toolforge-tool certainly qualifies as a

Re: [Wikitech-l] What ways are there to include user-edited JavaScript in a wiki page? (threat model: crypto miners)

Sorry to slightly sidetrack this discussion, but someone recently asked me if it were possible to modify a steward's user JS so that it granted them advanced rights like steward/checkuser/oversight. This of course is possible, but very rare since you need to be a sysop to edit these JS pages. The

Re: [Wikitech-l] @author annotations in files in the mediawiki codebase

Piling on here, but I wanted to point out that this in my opinion is what git blame is for. PHPStorm, Sublime Text, Vim, others I'm sure, all have plugins to quickly see who last touched each line of code. To dig deeper (maybe the last person just fixed a
