Hello all, Here is the Discovery weekly update for 2017-10-09. As always, feedback and questions are welcome.
==Highlights== * After active discussions on Spanish Wikipedia, mapframe has been enabled on that site. [0] * * The discussion on English Wikipedia on whether to ask for mapframe to be enabled has been resolved with a consensus of 'yes' to support the use of this functionality on enwiki. [1] * There is an ongoing discussion on English Wikivoyage about the use of mapframe and a draft maps policy has been created. [2] [3] * There is a discussion on Commons about deletion requests, specifically about maps, user-derived work and licensing of that work. [4] * The Search Platform team had a long discussion on how to improve search relevance surveys and A/B tests, highlights from the meeting can be read in and we'll use the information discussed in future tests. [5] [6] ==Discussions== === Search === * Gehel finished the investigation into why elastic@codfw alerted during codfw row B switch upgrade, determined it was that a check done on the LVS endpoint ended up being routed to the server that had just recovered network connectivity. [7] * A 'fix' was released last week that actually had un-intended results on the search results page by adding an icon to every autocomplete result in the main dropdown. Thanks, @Jdforrester for the quick fix! [8] * Trey finished up and deployed code to not use Generic language fallbacks in Mediawiki for Elasticsearch language analyzers, once we re-index various small wikis, this code will be in production. [9] [10] * The A/B test running on 18 wikis with > 1% of search traffic has been stopped and is ready for analysis [11] [12] === Analysis === * Mikhail finished up the Interleaved Search Results A/B test analysis [13] * Chelsy fixed an issue where the dashboard was counting events, not sessions, for mobile web events [14] [15] === Portal === * Continuing conversations on the handling of Chinese languages on the Wikipedia portal with the community [16] === Maps === * Paul finalized a few map styling issues: tunnels; implement all osm-bright.tm2 features in brighmed [17] [18] * The regeneration of map tiles in production finished up on Oct 10 [19] * Mapframe has been enabled on Spanish Wikipedia [20] [0] https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Encuestas/2017/Mapas_din%C3%A1micos [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Should_we_ask_for_mapframe_to_be_turned_on.3F [2] https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Travellers%27_pub#.7B.7BMapframe.7D.7D_vandalism [3] https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Map [4] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Data_talk:Kuala_Lumpur_Districts.map [5] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155290 [6] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T171215#3677637 [7] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170378 [8] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177659 [9] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177871 [10] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147959 [11] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177490 [12] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176493 [13] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T171215 [14] http://discovery.wmflabs.org/metrics/#mobile_events [15] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176811 [16] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T171647#3679370 [17] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T154823 [18] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153400 [19] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176252 [20] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177695 --- Subscribe to receive on-wiki (or opt-in email) notifications of the Discovery weekly update. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Newsletter:Discovery_Weekly The archive of all past updates can be found on MediaWiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Discovery/Status_updates Interested in getting involved?
