{{Ping project}} uses a Hidden Structure which causes issues for bots, web scrapers, and screen readers. The proper fix is to add the functionality to Echo.

Is there a conpherence for watching the milestone?

From the Green on black skin, it was brought up at Village Pump (screenshot) after I removed the workaround for T147667. Apparently locals styles in MediaWikiMonobook.css are applied after gadget styles.

@Krinkle Could you look into this? Hopefully the fix is a simple modification of T147667: Site and Gadget CSS should apply after core and skin CSS

@Pentachlorphenol may have volunteered in getting community consensus ;-)

That would be cool, thank you! I can remove the filter and reimport the table to the (hidden) replica when you are done. I will claim it meanwhile for other related breakages on replication.

@jcrespo I was developing the script last night, so something might have gone astray. I'll add a PRIMARY KEY so it doesn't happen in the future.

Kill it and drop the table. The script should only take 10 minutes for LOAD DATA

Fixed upstream

I talked with @jcrespo on IRC and with some digging (P6782) to eventually find out the index I was using wb_ips_site_page was dropped without updating the documentation (T179793#4018800).

Similar problem in Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox, but those browsers remove background-image so it affects all high contrast modes.

@Volker_E I tested it, it works. Empty green boxes are better than invisible buttons.

A workaround if we're unable to render icons is to draw boxes when in high contrast mode with border:1px solid transparent;. The transparent color will be forced to the visible foreground color.

@Aklapper I'm currently analyzing SVGs files for problems 404 file, missing xmlns=, font issues, etc. In a month or two, I will download all thumbnails on Commons again for several projects of mine.

File:An Itch in Time.webm is a recent upload with the encoder metadata extracted:

I've compiled a list of [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=283987037|SVGs missing the xmlns tag]] for anyone who wants to fix them.

@RazeSoldier has done nice work with the patch, but it should be in hexadecimal to be consistent with the API (and every sha1sum tool).

Query just now on ToolForge's analytics cluster (labsdb1010): 13 min 24.37 sec. It seems to be getting worse.

I mean literally just that. You can try out the aforementioned gimped tool which only joins against dplbot 's pre-generated results table for enwiki, The tool calls watchlistraw OAuth or Watchlist Token to create a TEMPORARY TABLE with all the pages that you currently watch.

"Net neutrality vote: FCC repeals Obama-era Internet rules". There are now no obstacles from regulators for getting this implemented

DNG support was torpedoed in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey due to patent concerns. I'm interested in legal's opinion since the WMF hosted Commons Archive accepts them.

I did something similar years ago to pre-generate thumbnails for WikiMiniAtlas with its unusual sizes (48x48). Stored the content-length and response code. This was useful in multiple ways, we were able to identify corrupt files, missing files, rendering problems, and had a list of thumbnails that somehow were 2 MB in size--Those ended up being very large ICC Profiles.

@jcrespo The current pipeline is:

1. A bash/python script on ToolForge which makes 275,000 MW API requests and bundles JSON responses in a .tar.gz on the last day of the month
2. A python script on my server downloads that on the first of the month. Processes it which spits out a Tab-Separated Value then loads it into the database.
3. (edit) The death_dabs.sql script then for 30 minutes creating a report for users to work off of. (Currently long running query)

I forgot to mention that this is a regression. That code was executing under 1 second 6+ months ago and only in late November I noticed queries failing constantly.

Rapid grant for hosting properitary tools?

@kaldari An AcoustID web interface for Commons.

@Aklapper The Checkuser information is irrecoverably gone and thus the task can no longer be completed and Invalid. You can change it to decline if you think that's more appropriate.

The team squandered a perfect opportunity where a WP0 pirate broke the ISP blackholing, registered an account on mediawiki.org, and finally created an account on Phabricator to upload files. All on Maroc Telecom IP address missed by Wikipedia Zero Phabricator block and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/368775/

I hope to see a namespace table added to meta_p. And with more thought. Domain isn't needed, dbname should lose _p per Labs convention, and maybe a gender flag to distinguish Benutzer and Benutzerin depending on future MW plans. Here's what it is currently (note: MediaWiki and MediaWiki Diskussion):

SELECT *
FROM s51892_toolserverdb_p.namespacename
WHERE dbname LIKE "dewiki_p"
ORDER BY FLOOR(ns_id/2), ns_is_favorite DESC, ns_type, ns_name;

@Marostegui It is needed in the middle of JOINs. Similar to the pagelinks table.

@Dispenser Do you have a link to a code example?

missing_entries.sql

An example from a recent created report:

1. Table 1: Article titles with GROUP BY normalized titles HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
2. Table 2: All links from disambiguation pages and set-index articles with redirects resolved, sorting and indexing by (target_page, dab_page)
3. These tables are combined and outputted into the report

The initial version using a single query and was projected to be 12x slower (6-8 hours vs 30 minutes).

SELECT @@hostname, @@version, @@max_user_connections, @@max_connections, "Notes       ";

Toolserver had max_user_connections set to 15. Firefox until June 2017 had 8 connection pipelining, so two users could saturate all your database connections. The new standard HTTP/2 uses no fewer than 100 streams, so eleven users could saturate all connections on the database server if there was no DB user limit.

7 days. In 7 days the IP information will start disappearing.

@Keegan You've got less than a fortnight!

Here are the changes I made to that script on my server:

...
      # mime types
      next if $extensions{$_};
      $extensions{$_} = 1;
      if (substr($1, 0, 5) eq "text/" or $1 eq "application/javascript") {
         print "\".$_\" => \"$1; charset=utf-8\",\n";
      } else {
         print "\".$_\" => \"$1\",\n";
      }
    }
...

That still leaves out extensions .log, .conf, and README not listed in mime.types, but are covered by Bühler's script.

10 out of the 37 files deleted in the past 24 hours are still accessible (with the script I ran for @Keegan yesterday)

Since this seems to be impossible. Would adding interstitial for Facebook referrers be doable? I imagine that we'd want to discourage people from thinking our content comes from Facebook.

These are all known WP0 abusers--The persistent type. They'll wait a week, make edits, whatever to get passed the filters.
