Hey all,
Just a note that I'm having the default content type for talk namespaces changed over to be structured (i.e., provided via Flow, previously LiquidThreads, next decade who knows?); this was meant to be done a few years ago but was forgotten. It'll still be possible to create new unstructured wikitext pages (or, for that matter, JSON-format pages) in the talk namespaces, but red links will now go to what users will expect. :-)
To clarify, non-existent talk pages will be Flow (so when you click a red link it will show an empty Flow board).
However, you will still be able to move non-Flow pages into these namespaces.
This is now done, as of about seven hours ago.
Thanks. Are there other templates, besides Welcome, which will need to be adapted?
Don't think so, over the past two weeks. Marking as resolved.
Is there a centralised location for coordinating and completing the upgrade of old translated content to using the 'new' Translate system? For example, today I encountered Project:PD help/Copying which is using the old unmanaged system. I recall there are still some subpages of Manual:Pywikibot that are translated using the old system. It would be good to find all these oddities and get the upgrade process completed once and for all.
Maybe Project:Language policy. Since it's in Project: namespace, it probably went unnoticed from Project:Language policy/Migration list
When I try to add a new topic to Project:Support desk I alternatively see the errors "This edit has been identified as spam." or "This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and has been <b>disallowed.</b> If you believe your edit was constructive, please inform an <a href="/wiki/Project:Administrators" title="Project:Administrators">administrator</a> of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Temporary mass spambot attack".
Is randomly picking one of the many administrators really the way this should be dealt with?
An hour later it is working. Marking this as resolved.
Read the overview at VisualEditor/Single edit tab. Many thanks.
It will be cool if somebody with admin and or flow permissions could move Extension talk:SemanticFormsSelect to Extension talk:Semantic Forms Select without leaving a redirect. Thanks and cheers.
I tried, but I don't have permissions to move flow boards. Evidently, there is only one user with that right: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=flow-bot
I guess Gough Whitlam would have said "It's Time" and I add "... to spread the permissions"

That specific page is now moved, and all mediawiki registered users now have the necessary flag to move Flow boards. :-)
The one complication, is that if there's an existing #redirect at the target destination, then that need to be manually deleted first, because of the change in Page ContentModel. (I.e. the same way we can't change the ContentModel of a user.css page, we can only move it around). This aspect (and the wider issues of user's changing a page's ContentModel) is still being discussed by various developers. Hope that helps.
Thanks for moving Quiddity and the additional info. Yeah, I put the redirect there since I originally did not expect this issue to be solved in the foreseeable future. I cheerfully appreciate this happing to fast. :)
the call for proposals for Wikimania 2016 is open! All the members of the Wikimedia projects, researchers and observers are invited to propose a critical issue to be included in the programme of the conference, which will be held in Italy, in Esino Lario, from June 21 to 28.
Through this call we only accept what we call critical issues, i.e. proposals aiming at presenting problems, possible solutions and critical analysis about Wikimedia projects and activities in 18 minutes. These proposals do not need to target newbies, and they can assume attendees to already have a background knowledge on a topic (community, tech, outreach, policies...).
To submit a presentation, please refer to the Submissions page on the Wikimania 2016 website. Deadline for submitting proposals is 7th January 2016 and the selection of these proposals will be through a blind peer-reviewed process. Looking forward to your proposals.
Dear Wikimedians,
the deadline for the call for proposals for Wikimania 2016 has been moved on 17th January 2016, so you have 10 days to submit you proposal(s). To submit a presentation, please refer to the Submissions page on the Wikimania 2016 website.
The "mark for translation" link does not work!
where?
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128638 Quoting: "You can use any of the following to work-arounds:
- Append &do=mark to the url
- Go via Special:PageTranslation"
Thanks!
Don't mention it!
Additionally, do=unmark does not work. e.g. Wikimedia Discovery/Knight FAQ should be unmarked.
Can you report this on Phab?
I have reported at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129044
Hi everybody,
in Wikimedia's task tracker in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85601#2019740 there is a proposal to improve MediaWiki:Confirmemail body by adding some explanations and providing some helpful links, to make it a bit closer to Template:Welcome. Any feedback on that Phabricator task is welcome over there! (See Phabricator/Help#Creating your account if you have not been active in our issue tracker before.) Thanks for your input and making it easier for newcomers to find their way!
The 2015-12-21 link on the main page under news for maintenance updates (https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2015-December/000187.html) points to a mailing list post which includes links to versions and corresponding GPG signatures. However, the links in that post that point to the .sig files for the full updates are all misnamed, and hence broken. Testing one of them, it seems like the "tar" suffix was dropped; for example,
https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-1.25.5.gz.sig
should be
https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-1.25.5.tar.gz.sig
There's nothing much to do, since we can't edit messages in lists, but you may want to open a bugreport about that and assign it to User:^demon so he's aware of that and to avoid the same typo on next releases
See Phab:T128344.
