--- Comment #70 from Nemo <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 13028 --> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=13028&action=edit crontabs on the maintenance server terbium, including the new ones for this bug So, this bug can now hopefully be considered (mostly) fixed, with its current summary, after mutante approved and fixed the change above. In detail, the special pages 1) AncientPages, 2) DeadendPages, 3) MostLinked, 4) MostRevisions, 5) WantedPages, 6) FewestRevisions will be updated twice a year on every wiki as follows: a) page 1) in 1st and 7th month of the year, page 2) in 2nd and 8th month etc., b) starting at 1 UTC on each of the days from the 11th to the 17th of the month, where on the 11th are the wikis on database s1, on 12nd s2 etc. as listed on https://noc.wikimedia.org/dbtree/ . (You can see the crontabs attached, as provided by mutante.) In short we should first see DeadendPages (which is among the slowest) updated for en.wiki on August 11, on it.wiki, pl.wiki etc. the next day and so on. The next steps, in order, are: 1) keep an eye on the first updates to see whether they are successful and if they overload the servers too much, in which case they may be disabled; 2) if all goes well, make the frequency higher or much higher, e.g. monthly (as Tim put it, "If they don't break the site, then why not run them every week?"), or decide that this is enough; 3) try and add updates for the pages disabled only on en.wiki, fr.wiki and perhaps wikidata (see <https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/operations%2Fmediawiki-config.git/351a084f4a26fc7daeeccadedba48706f251664a/wmf-config%2FInitialiseSettings.php#L9308>). This bug should be kept open at least till (1), so for a couple weeks more; 2-3 may be split to other bugs, but ideally we'll be more confident with testing, they'll follow in short order and we'll be able to close this bug to our complete satisfaction. The queries will happen against the new databases in Ashburn, if I understand correctly, so let's thank (and wish in) the power of the new datacentre. Kudos to all the WMF people who helped transform my rough proposal in something real, including mutante, Reedy, Asher Feldman, Peter Youngmeister, Tim Starling, Ariel Glenn. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
