Hello all, We (me and Sammy) have proposed a project to improve the searchability of the PageTriage extension's Special:NewPagesFeed, which is a VueJS interface that allows patrollers on English Wikipedia to track new pages created by users.

[Wikitech-l] Re: Cloudflare Turnstile as a CAPTCHA alternative?
I would be really strongly opposed to the introduction of any kind of third-party browser fingerprinting technology into Wikimedia sites (which seems to be effectively what Cloudflare Turnstile is). Their marketing gumpf about "not harvesting information" does not really track with their technical definition which seems to indicate that this technology would use an invasive unique Javascript-based browser fingerprint to determine if the user is a bot. Wikimedia sites are often afforded a lot more trust than most other random sites on the internet, which in turn means that for a lot of users, a small amount of information about their activity on Wikimedia would be sufficient to uniquely identify them. Allowing third-party sites to abuse this implicit trust that many people have on Wikimedia sites and profile and track our users is a step in the wrong direction in my honest opinion.

[Wikitech-l] Re: Gsoc 2022 contribution
@AndreKlapper We should probably remove this mailing list from the description page in Google Summer of Code (this <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2021/organizations/5270263742070784/> was what the page looked like last year) and add links to more beginner-friendly starting points (New_Developers, How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker, Zulip chat, IRC etc) instead. IMO, that page is more popular among new developers compared to the one hosted on mediawiki.org, since quite a lot of new developers will go through lists of previously chosen organizations that are available on the Summer of Code website and then choose a few cool projects rather than Googling for a specific organization and their status wrt to GSoC.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Help on creating a new extension
Ah, okay, that's good. I'll ask for a repo once I get all the features implemented. :) BTW, how do I get people to find/install the extension in their wikis once I get the stuff done? I forget which task it was, but I think I saw some tasks on phabricator mentioning that they needed an extension that showed protection icons.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Help on creating a new extension
Hi, The first two questions were actually intended to be implementation questions, specifically on whether it is possible to implement the two features that I thought about ? However, now that you mentioned it, it certainly would be great if some experienced contributors could co-maintain and help me with creating the extension. Also, by official extension I mean like the extensions that have a page on the MediaWiki wiki and are hosted on Gerrit. :) On Sat, Nov 23, 2019, 12:37 AM Andre Klapper wrote: > Hi and thanks for your email (and code)! :) > > On Fri, 2019-11-22 at 23:54 +0530, Sohom Datta wrote: > > Hi guys, I'm Sohom Datta. > > > > I recently decided to create a draft for an hypothetical extension > > ProtectionIndicator, which will add a protection icon on the top of every > > protected page.

[Wikitech-l] Help on creating a new extension
Hi guys, I'm Sohom Datta. I recently decided to create a draft for an hypothetical extension ProtectionIndicator, which will add a protection icon on the top of every protected page. I did this primarily out of my own interest in getting familiar with the code-base of MediaWiki. I've hosted all the code I have written (still unfinished) in this github repository <http://github.com/sohomdatta1/ProtectionIndicator>. I'd like some guidance on how to implement the unfinished parts of the extension especially the integration with FlaggedRevs and the addition of a log entry to a popup ( Details are there in the readme.md of the repo) . Also any feedback on my code would also be very good. Also, it would be great if somebody could guide me on how to make this a official extension someday.
