Yeah a couple of people have brought this up so a full explanation for anyone else, with extra background info: Wikitech is a wiki that is outside of the usual Wikipedia cluster so that if the site goes down, tech staff still have that wiki up to be able to access technical documentation etc. The problem with this is that the old wikitech wiki was rarely updated or maintained (it's on MediaWiki 1.19.2 right now), and it also had restricted editing. With the introduction of Labs, ops decided that it would be good to merge the labs wiki and wikitech together, and so after a long time waiting they finally merged the two wikis at the beginning of this month. The old wiki is still accessible at http://wikitech-old.wikimedia.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=newusers&user=&page=&year=&month=-1 but I believe it's read only now, as we should be using wikitech.wikimedia.org. So for Martin's account on the new wiki, I think he will already have an account if he has a Labs/Gerrit/Git account, else I think he should be able to create one himself (the new wiki is open account creation, but not integrated with SUL). He's not in the "OTRS" project on Labs/wikitech though, <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Otrs>, so I don't know if he's been able to do any testing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
