Summary: Inconsistencies in irc.wikimedia make it hard to
monitor certain wikis
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: shell
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The following (possibly more) can't be minitored easily due to their abnormal
channel name.
* #mediawiki.wikipedia
* #advisory.wikipedia
* #species.wikipedia
* pa.us.wikimedia.org (?) [1]
Note that #commons.wikimedia and #meta.wikimedia and #wikisource are fine and
represent the domainname exactly.
Bots using irc.wikimedia.org to monitor vandalism (ie. the [[m:Countervandalism
Network]]) are unable to monitor these (unless hacking the bot and hardcoding
the paths).
species.wikipedia is a bit of an exception as species.wikipedia.org redirects
to species.wikimedia.org so that one still works when monitored through the bot
as 'species.wikipedia' it will be able to connect to
species.wikipedia.org/w/api.php (as it redirects)
The others are however hard to monitor (eg. not monitored) as the channel
neither matches the hostname nor the interwiki prefix. As a result the
small-wiki monitoring team is unable to properly monitor these wikis.
Please move #mediawiki.wikipedia to #mediawiki as soon as possible (and leave
the old channel as redirect for backwards compatibility for those that have
hardoded the paths)
I was unable to find where this chapter wiki is monitored, nor have I found a
way to link to it with an interwiki link on-wiki (There is no pa-us or pa.us
wiki)
