[00:46:02] lists.wikimedia.org is taking forever. [00:46:13] And giving me "no data received" errors when I try to clear a moderation queue. [00:46:16] Rage. [00:46:42] > Summary of junk emails blocked - 1 Junk Emails Blocked [00:46:44] Is that legit? [00:46:57] http://p.defau.lt/?AGy5dDfqkic8sSfLPgHxjQ [00:47:00] Those are the headers. [01:21:47] greg-g: Around? [01:23:48] hi, tools.wmflabs.org is down? [01:31:00] I think it is. [02:02:15] greg-g: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-August/071536.html [02:02:33] greg-g: The "Any help..." sentence was directed at you. ;-) [04:31:18] Elsie: on it. [04:31:23] :-) [04:31:38] I'm not sure how realistic the concern about VisualEditor confusion is. [04:31:51] me neither.... I was kind of surprised to see that line [04:31:57] I thought it was a jab at VE ;) [04:32:47] Well, [04:32:52] to someone who doesn't know the difference, [04:32:58] and who hates VE and thought it was disabled, [04:33:02] I could see the potential confusion. [04:33:07] true [04:33:11] Plus the user preferences are accessed in different ways. [04:33:28] yeah, confusing [04:33:34] A SINGLE EDITOR TO RULE THEM ALL! [04:38:34] Elsie: are you subscribed to the -ambassadors list? [04:40:19] Nope. [04:40:54] Elsie: k, mind if I cc you on my message there so they can hunt you down, I mean, ping you with questions? :) [04:41:18] Questions should go to [[m:Talk:CodeEditor]], I imagine. [04:41:20] Or [[m:Tech]]. [04:41:29] Though if people want to e-mail me, I can tell them that myself. ;-) [04:41:52] heh, fair [04:53:08] (sent) [05:28:12] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2013-August/000361.html [05:34:01] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:CodeEditor#Legacy_toolbar [05:34:03] sDrewthedoff: ^ [05:43:33] ok, g'night [08:04:29] @notify qchris [08:04:29] I'll let you know when I see qchris around here [15:06:33] parentxyzq.. nope [15:06:56] no parent yet [15:07:05] coming now [15:07:12] ok [15:08:43] maybe we can start by going through the things that i did while you were away? (parent already knows those) [15:09:02] I did look at the backread here [15:09:10] ok [15:09:11] and also a bit at the diff dump specs [15:09:25] parent5446: hello [15:09:29] hello [15:09:31] Hey [15:09:47] so I have a comment about the diff dump specs actually [15:09:59] i'm listening [15:10:08] for the delte page change [15:10:18] This object describes a page that was deleted from the wiki. All of its revisions should be deleted too, unless they were already referenced in this diff dump (this can happen when a page is deleted and then undeleted). [15:10:31] why dn't we do that work ourselves so that the user app doesn't have to think about it? [15:10:53] that is, only write out page deletions that weren't undone by a later undelete [15:11:16] that might require another pass or some fiddling but it seems cleaner to me from the user's point of view [15:12:00] except undoing delete means creating a page with new id; are you saying there should be a change that changes the page id of a page? [15:12:25] I'm saying that instead of 'keep the revisions under this special circumstance' [15:12:38] we don't make any third party app that consumes these dumps have to do that work [15:13:16] if there's a page delete in the dump, it should be an actual 'delete everything' [15:13:25] without 'I have to check this other thing first' [15:13:34] see what I mean? [15:14:55] does that mean the the diff would have to contain all the undeleted revisions in full? [15:15:35] I don't know how you would want to do it [15:16:21] because if i delete all those revisions, i have to recrease them for the undeleted page somehow [15:16:26] *recreate [15:16:39] that's true [15:17:18] and if somebody deletes-undeletes a page with long history, i don't want to include all those revisions in the diff, that's wasteful [15:17:23] so let's think about this, can we actually see a delete and then an undelete in the same dump run? [15:17:34] certainly [15:17:48] page move [15:17:59] which isn't an undelete but it's the equiv [15:18:10] no, page move is simple, that changes page title, but not page id [15:18:22] right, the redir gets the new id [15:18:27] yes [15:18:47] sorry, I'm just not seeing where we would get an undelete after a delete in the same run [15:20:21] 1: create dump; 2: delete page; 3: undelete page; 4: create another dump; i think such situation can happen (especially in the case of edit warring) [15:20:21] talk me through it if you don't mind [15:20:37] so 4 happens after both a delete and an undelete [15:20:42] yes [15:21:12] we now have a new page id, the absence of the old page id, which is therefore marked by you as page deletion [15:21:46] yes [15:22:14] gah I am so used to the dumps from full stubs [15:23:35] so do you now think that my solution is reasonable? or do you have a better idea? [15:24:01] a 'page id change' marker? [15:24:29] right, but that would be hard to detect [15:24:34] or to make the user worry about it? [15:24:58] what do you mean? [15:25:43] well anyone who writes an app that reads these diffs (and there will be folks, as I judge already from users even of the 'experimental' adds/changes dumps) [15:26:03] will have to implement the same icky workaround for page deletes [15:26:11] when really we should take care of it on our end [15:27:26] so, how would we detect the "page id change"? by page title? by list of revisions? [15:27:39] well if you don't do page id change [15:27:55] which is fine, I'm not stuck on a particular way of getting it done [15:28:08] you could mark some changes as page + revision deletes [15:28:20] and some as page deletes (just the page row in the table) [15:28:59] and yes, pages with new page ids will get the full list of revisions written out [15:29:18] but presumably there aren't mass page undeletions generally [15:29:39] so any given diff dump under normal circumstances would still be a reasonable size [15:29:42] that's what i do now too, i think that's necessary, because the list of revisions can change (you can undelete only some of the revisions) [15:29:50] yep [15:31:39] i have to think about how exactly to distinguish the full delete vs. partial delete, but i think this will work [15:32:15] ok. if ou come up with another approach that's fine too, as long as we do it on our side [15:32:18] *if you [15:33:10] so 'delete revision change' [15:33:25] if someone suppresses (oversights) an edit [15:33:42] well, another approach would be to have only partial page deletes and then always include the full list of deleted revisions, but the approach you suggested is better [15:33:50] won't that look like a deleted revision from our perspective? [15:34:40] AFAIK, you can't suppress an edit, you can suppress only its text, comment and/or contributor; and that doesn't look like deleted revision [15:34:58] I need to check into that and make sure [15:35:36] that's what https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:RevisionDelete says [15:37:54] but if a revision is actually deleted (e.g. by directly manipulating the database), then i should handle that properly using the deleted revision change [15:39:23] yeah, this is more a comment on the wording, I'll check on this and get back to you [15:39:30] ok [15:41:54] that was all I had on a first skim of the diff dump format [15:42:17] does the sha1 really go in as base 36 encoded? :-D [15:43:32] yeah, i didn't feel like writing the conversion code that at the time (36 is not a nice number); but i do have a TODO for that in the code :-) [15:43:40] ok :-) [15:43:52] I mean stuff like that is not tragic, it's just 'ok, clean this up later' [15:44:07] yeah, that's the plan [15:44:27] so using zdelta is next up? [15:45:30] yeah; i have already started a bit on that; my plan now is to write several versions of compression, to compare their sizes and speeds [15:46:05] (i will write the code just to test it out, it won't support updates at all at first) [15:46:08] right [15:46:32] and once again.. ah urgh [15:46:51] so I am going to be gone from tomorrow evening? (or friday morning) thrugh next monday, but strictly next monday this time, [15:47:12] I'm not going to be stuck on an island where the ferry schedule is once a day and the bus is once a day also and they fill up [15:47:35] anyways I was gonna say, for large benchmarks I cna do testing, which is true if I'm here (i.e. on piece X of en wp) [15:47:50] Also I'm not gonna be here for Thursday's meeting (I have another school meeting to go to) [15:47:56] ok [15:48:00] hmm maybe [15:48:09] I will ask if we cna move tomorrow's meeting up by [15:48:10] * apergos thinks [15:48:22] 90 minutes? [15:48:43] Would that be in the future or past? [15:48:46] this would permit me to possibly take a train tomorrow that gets in at 10 pm instead of 4 am (my friend will appreciate it more) [15:48:56] fine by me [15:49:00] ok [15:49:05] just for tomorrow [15:49:06] 90 minutes forward or backward? [15:49:13] 90 minutes earlier [15:49:33] OK. If I can manage to wake up I'll be there. [15:50:01] Actually, I'd still have to shower for my next meeting, so I probably can't make it. [15:50:02] ah, cool [15:50:05] oh :-D [15:50:18] ok well if you're there you're there [15:50:19] no worries [15:51:44] if that's all, see you tomorrow [15:51:47] so I said all I had to ay, anyone else? [15:51:49] *sya [15:51:53] grr *say [15:52:31] nothing from me [15:52:42] Nope [15:53:00] ok, then see folks tomorrow [15:53:06] See you Friday [15:53:07] and thanks for being flexible about the time [15:53:42] bye [16:41:39] qchris: good news: gerrit can also update with full instead of relative urls! :-) https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/commit/e0838c4000ee45115ba9b248311bdbc21133a36c ; based on https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/master/.gitmodules [16:42:09] valhallasw: Cool! [16:42:52] valhallasw: but does that not force to https then? [16:43:06] valhallasw: The other should be protocol neutral. [16:43:18] valhallasw: (It least that's how I understood it) [16:44:21] qchris: hmm. Maybe // would also work, but at least this also works when someone clones from github [16:44:49] valhallasw: Meh. Github is evil anyways :-D [16:45:10] valhallasw: But you're right the ../.. breaks for github. [16:45:13] I'm not even sure whether gerrit supports cloning over http instead of https, to be honest [16:45:31] oh, wait, ssh vs https, not http vs https [16:45:35] The use case is ssh for me. [16:45:38] Yes. [16:45:49] there is a HTTP password method [16:45:57] should not be a huge issue because git review will setup ssh:// anyway [16:46:36] saper: Yes, there is http password ... but http is not ssh :-/ [16:47:10] git-review uses ssh and scp, so http is no go [16:47:28] But anyways, ^demon uses absoluted paths for the extensions parent repo. [16:47:38] So I guess that should be fine. [16:47:51] saper: git-review *should* use whatever the "gerrit" remote points at, IIRC [16:51:58] marktraceur: yes, and it sets this up from .gitreview, not from the current origin [16:52:16] valhallasw: Yeah, but you can manually override it after the setup step [16:56:56] marktraceur: there are certain subtle issues when using HTTP, let me find the bug [17:06:00] marktraceur: git review does "ssh gerrit query --json <>" [17:06:12] Oh my god. [17:06:55] for that reason one can't use git review to contribute to gerrit itself (or android:) [17:07:52] yes, there are two JSON queries and "ls-projects" is used sometimes as well [17:08:01] plus scp to fetch the hook [17:09:04] it became hell of a monster script :( [19:05:40] Hey, um.. you know how when you click a video, it expands to fill more of the screen? [19:05:44] When was that added? [19:15:05] AdamCuerden: I forget... relatively recently, like within the last month or so [19:15:24] marktraceur: Maybe you know this? ---^^ [19:16:30] Er [19:16:35] Few months ago, I think [19:16:46] IIRC kaldari worked on it [19:17:03] * marktraceur looks for documentation [19:17:31] probably not documented :( [19:17:47] but I can tell you about it :) [19:17:48] Ach. Just I'd like to include it in the Wikipedia Signpost [19:17:53] RoanKattouw: I'm trying to get the # of watchers of some of my templates/pages with the API, and I'm having to do multiple API calls for each page. [19:18:17] ...Eh, screw it. I'm slipping it in, and they can complain if they like. Also including that the gallery tool changes are live. [19:18:34] First call is to get page id, second call is to get watchers because page id is in path to watchers. [19:18:39] AdamCuerden: I think it may have been mentioned about a month back, but I can't remember specifically [19:18:44] Is there an easier way? [19:18:57] T13: How do you get watchers, exactly? [19:19:03] ++bawolff re gallery changes [19:19:38] AdamCuerden: In the multimedia theme, Commons got brand-spankin'-new Campaigns infrastructure! CC YuviPanda. [19:20:32] I'm using a jsonp ajax call and the path is something like result.query.page.(page id number).watchers [19:20:52] I see [19:21:00] Oh, you may be interested in ?indexpageids=1 [19:21:06] And... I have no idea what a Campaigns infrastructure is [19:21:06] I'm on droid do link is hard to get [19:21:19] Sorry! [19:21:19] What's that do? [19:21:28] It adds an array of all page IDs that are in the response [19:21:40] I'm still near the bottom of the learning curve =) [19:22:23] So you can do something like result.query.pages[result.query.pageids[0]].watchers [19:22:46] AdamCuerden: Campaigns are like Wiki Loves Monuments, it's just a way to organize people to help drive uploads [19:22:54] I'll play with that on [[Special:ApiSandbox]] [19:23:00] You can auto-fill details for them, group stuff in a category, that sort of thing [19:23:10] Yeah, and so we had a campaign for Wikimania pictures as well [19:23:24] With like the location and categorization pre-filled, only one license option, etc. [19:23:25] It's all stored in JSON now, thanks to YuviPanda, and there are major prettification patches in the pipeline [19:23:33] Oh, neat! [19:23:51] That deserves inclusion [19:24:14] Is there an information page about it I can link to? [19:24:20] Hrm [19:24:26] Yes, YuviPanda has a user page about it IIRC [19:24:35] AdamCuerden: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Yuvipanda/Campaigns_namespace_proposal [19:25:05] I think he's in the middle of phase 4 now [19:27:27] Hmm. Are a couple issues with the video viewer technology. It's very hard to get from there to the page information that documents it [19:27:42] true [19:28:13] I mean, I can get the author and date easily enough, but if I try to click on them, nothing happens [19:28:17] the new multimedia team is working on a totally new media viewer that will include metadata in the viewing window under the video/image [19:28:37] AdamCuerden: Oh really? That sounds like a bug [19:29:34] yeah, looks like something's broken [19:29:38] it was working before [19:29:43] Well, crap. [19:30:19] Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. [19:31:10] AdamCuerden: That's really weird. The links are there but don't work. There must be some JS hijacking the click action on them. [19:31:47] Odd. [19:32:45] AdamCuerden: I'll file a bug on it. Thanks for the report [19:33:05] No worries. [19:33:33] As I said, I promised to work on the Tech news for En-Wiki's Wikipedia Signpost, so I have to look into a lot of things. [19:33:47] Right. I'm afraid I have a few more questions. [19:34:02] Does anyne ave the documenttion on the new mode types for Galleries? [19:34:47] And can alnyone tell me about the new search's improvements over the old search? [19:35:03] AdamCuerden: the infrastructure isn't a giant piece of crap? [19:35:07] :) [19:35:47] Heh [19:35:48] AdamCuerden: what Ryan_Lane is basically the gist of it, really :) [19:36:02] So, what will users notice about it? [19:36:08] the be more politically correct: the new infrastructure properly scales horizontally [19:36:09] If anything? [19:36:13] it will fail less often [19:36:30] aka "more reliable" to be positive sounding :) [19:36:31] I'm not sure if the current implementation has any added features [19:36:35] not yet [19:36:49] so, yeah. more reliable :) [19:37:12] Does it also make it more efficient? [19:37:12] well, except for templates, those are search better or something :) [19:37:20] AdamCuerden: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53493 [19:37:28] searched* [19:37:30] AIUI it'll also allow us to build a lot of new cool stuff on top of it [19:37:36] But that's for later [19:37:46] right [19:37:50] expanded template search [19:37:59] You need to get the foundation in order before you do that, and that's what's happening now [19:38:00] search in categories (I wondeer if intersection of categories too) [19:38:20] AdamCuerden: If you're looking for tech stories for the SignPost, we just launched user notifications on the mobile interface for all logged-in users. [19:38:21] Can I quote on that? [19:38:26] really excited about expanded template search, it means search for translations on a pile of wiktionaries suddenly returns something useful [19:38:31] Already in, Kaldari [19:38:32] (once it's live) [19:38:37] cool [19:38:47] Here's what I have so far [19:38:58] You'll notice one of them is not yet in English [19:38:59] * Videos expand to fill more of the screen when viewed, providing a better viewing experience. Try it out! [19:38:59] * Mobile team [[WP:Echo]] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2013-August/000357.html [[Wikipedia:Notifications]] [19:38:59] * Commons gains a new Campaigns infrastructure, letting projects like Wikipedia Loves Monuments easily preformat information, and document uploads related to them. Details are [[:mw:User:Yuvipanda/Campaigns_namespace_proposal|here]]. [19:39:00] * For those who work with CSS, javascript, and gadgets, [[:meta:CodeEditor|]] will likely prove a boon. [19:39:30] Galleries will be the lead story [19:39:43] @link [19:39:43] http://enwp.org/:meta:CodeEditor [19:39:49] oh you mean, not a full grammatically correct english sentence [19:40:02] Ha.. another bug.. [19:40:41] AdamCuerden: You can mention that the pop-up video player on en.wiki is a trial. If people like it, it will be turned on for other wikis as well. [19:41:04] That last one should read "* Improvements to the search infrastructure promise to make it more reliable. Now that the backend is fixed, new features, like the ability to search within a category, are planned. " [19:41:34] AdamCuerden: The actual threshold for the pop-up player is any video embedded at a width of 800px or less, if the width is more than 800px it still plays inline. [19:42:19] off to lunch... [19:42:36] * Videos thumbnailed at less than 800 pixels wide expand to fill more of the screen when viewed, providing a better viewing experience. Try it out! This is currently exclusive to English Wikipedia, should things go well, it will soon appear on other Wikipedias. [19:43:06] The echo notifications are just notes as to what to link just now [19:43:28] I'm trying to collect things together. [19:46:14] "* The mobile team has [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2013-August/000357.html implemented] [[Wikipedia:Notifications|notifications]] on all [[WP:Echo|Echo]]-enabled wikis. This means that mobile users will get the useful communication features such as talk page notifications and mentions that users of the desktop site have." [19:47:03] Sorry to be live-blogging here. It's just far easier to get this right when I know if I'm wrong =) [19:47:42] Anything else anyone would like announced at this time? [19:49:07] looks good [19:49:26] has anyone else clicked on links lately and wound up at the AbuseFilter [19:49:27] ? [19:49:34] pretty sure this has happened to me twice [19:50:27] Right. I'll need to check the VisualEditor news still, and work out the section on gallery improvements, and check with Gerard for Wikidata news... [19:51:11] But I think this is a pretty good sampling of major improvements to Wikipedia. Thanks, everyone! [19:52:48] kaldari: is there anyway to get notifications delivered to my IRC channel? [19:53:01] T13: i'm working on it! [19:53:12] T13: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/80710/ [19:53:41] sweet [19:53:50] T13: I have some primitive code so it stalks the IRC feed, and if it sees a Log/thanks action, it'll check your notifications and give you a link for what you were thanked for, and who did it [19:54:51] And it polls the API every 5-10 min to check for link notifications and such [19:56:16] so no one else has seen that? because if that's happening, it's a major bug. and the only alternative is that I've somehow been clicking on links to foreign-language AbuseFilters, which seems très unlikely [19:56:42] PinkAmpersand: like you randomly clicked on a link to where and ended up at Special:AF? [19:56:48] somewhere* [19:56:51] legoktm: ooooh yay. so i'll be able to get my PinkAmpersand notifications at PublicAmpersand? [19:56:57] yep, pretty sure that's what happened [19:57:15] PinkAmpersand: Well no. That's https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/48892 [19:57:28] This just exposes functionality in the API for it. [19:57:43] legoktm: I'm more interested in mentions than thanks. [19:58:17] T13: Right. The problem with mentions is there's no way to check in a "push" way, so it just has to be done with polling [19:58:17] was trying to get to https://frr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biskiir_Rochtsthemen, wound up at https://frr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Missbrauchsfilter [19:58:28] wfm...? [19:58:37] PinkAmpersand: try again :P [19:58:46] worked fine the second time [19:58:55] and the thing is, i looked away from the computer between clicking and viewing [19:59:04] so it's *possible* i clicked something by accident [19:59:07] but I think it's unlikely [19:59:49] and I'm pretty sure the same thing happened yesterday, but I forget which wiki [20:08:00] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ilmari_Karonen/Queries/Zombie_images [20:09:08] PinkAmpersand, yes, i too got redirected to an AbuseFilter page, after I was auto-logged into a foreign language wiki, a few days ago. I couldnt manage to reproduce, and have cleared cookies/history since then, so can't help beyond confirming. [20:10:29] legoktm: wouldn't the easiest way just to have notifications create an rss/atom feed? [20:10:43] Why can't I subscribe to Wikitech-ambassadors-l, anyway? [20:10:46] T13: You need authentication for that. [20:10:47] quiddity: yeah. well, if you're confirming, shall I file a bug anyways? [20:10:57] T13: Implementing this is the first step for that :) [20:11:26] PinkAmpersand, probably a good idea. [20:11:28] AdamCuerden: you should probably poke Thehelpfulone, he's the mailing list master [20:11:31] will in 1 sec [20:13:31] anyone here experience with the Central Notice? [20:13:36] quiddity: think this is MediaWiki, or Wikimedia? [20:14:24] Romaine: yes, please shoot [20:14:42] i generally make at least 2 errors in any bug report. wrong component is often 1 of them.. >.> [20:14:49] haha [20:14:57] PinkAmpersand: file it under extensions -> AF [20:15:07] someone will come along and triage it properly :P [20:15:14] good idea [20:15:43] waiiiiit [20:15:50] I bet this is actually a CentralAuth bug [20:16:02] * quiddity pictures the scenes from M.A.S.H. whenever the word triage is used. [20:16:28] PinkAmpersand: andre__ will fix it. :) [20:16:49] i'm gonna file in CentralAuth on a hunch [20:17:23] can someone with some tech have a look into why the RfA tally isn't correct here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Singularity42#Discussion [20:18:04] My76Strat: you would want to talk to cyberpower about that, he runs the bot [20:18:07] better link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Singularity42 [20:18:19] ok thankas [20:18:21] yeah. that's bot-driven, not software- [20:24:50] ...Hmm. That's weird [20:25:01] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Adam_Cuerden <- Do #3 and #12 look odd to people? [20:25:16] Like Packed is giving them extra margins on one side? [20:32:53] quiddity: do you remember what page yours was? [20:35:10] fraid not [20:35:32] ok. i'm CC'ing you, if you don't mind [20:35:41] AdamCuerden: Asking bawolff in -dev [20:35:52] np [20:36:22] Thanks, Mark! [20:36:36] My pleasure [20:36:37] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53498 [20:37:07] Ah good [20:37:09] Ah, hey, bawolff. [20:37:19] Hi [20:37:45] Um... So, I found something that's very slightly odd, but I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, with the new gallery [20:38:03] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Adam_Cuerden <- Do #3 and #12 look odd to you? [20:38:25] I think they have excess right padding, but I'm not sure. [20:38:42] they do seem like the padding's a bit off [20:38:48] I think what's going on is that the image is super narrow, so the caption for it is forcing the box to be wider, so we don't get a caption that has one letter per line [20:38:55] but they should be centered in that case [20:38:59] Right [20:39:00] which isn't happening [20:39:47] Hmm. Though if I remove the caption for one of them, same issue [20:40:19] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Adam_Cuerden&oldid=570581073 [20:40:43] bawolff: On the image, apply the rules "display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;" [20:40:54] The link is width: 100% for some reason [20:40:55] Obviously, these are extreme aspect ratio images [20:41:28] * bawolff thought he did that, guess not. There's been so many patchsets with the gallery, I'm losing track [20:41:52] By the way, while you're here: What's the full list of gallery modes on en-wiki? [20:41:58] bawolff: You put text-align: center on an element and I assumed that would work but apparently failed to test adequately [20:42:08] I want to lead the Tech report in the signpost with the gallery featured. [20:42:23] er, gallery feature featured [20:42:36] I have margin: 0 on the img elements, guess that should be margin: 0 auto; [20:42:49] Maaaybe [20:42:57] AdamCuerden: Currently: traditional, nolines, packed, packed-hover, packed-overlay [20:43:13] Thanks! [20:46:09] Right. Time to write up the feature. [20:46:23] ugh, I need better rewrite rules for thumb.php. Everytime I test thumb.php locally, I end up breaking instantcommons... [20:47:24] btw, secure login by default is now deployed.... [20:49:23] greg-g: really? I was expecting the sky to fall on that one, after all the fighting about it [20:49:38] * bawolff notes lack of flame war in his inbox [20:49:45] shhh, don't tempt the gods [20:51:21] * bawolff gives marktraceur https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/81571 [20:53:55] Joy! [20:54:02] Happy happy joy joy [20:54:35] bawolff: Are images block elements already, or do you need to make them so? [20:54:46] Ah, no, we're good [20:54:54] It seemed to work without me making them block [20:54:59] KK [20:58:27] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2013-08-28/Technology_report <- Here's the report so far. I still need to add VE, but the new report isn't out yet on that. [20:59:16] If anyone else has features they'd like reported on, let me know [21:00:29] bawolff: Doesn't packed-hover become packed-overlay on mobile? [21:00:37] greg-g, possibly useful details in this thread. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Secure_site_only.3F [21:00:46] marktraceur: that's correct [21:01:14] AdamCuerden: So you may want to adjust your last graf in the Gallery story [21:01:16] Or on any browser that reports you have a touchscreen. If js is disabled, it won't convert to packed-overlay [21:01:19] AdamCuerden: copy-edit: should be a semi-colon after "this is currently excluxive to English Wikipedia" [21:01:24] *exclusive [21:02:15] Good point [21:02:40] quiddity: thanks [21:04:44] Edited. [21:04:51] "Packed" is the recommended mode for galleries on Wikipedia (which changes functionality to packed-overlay on mobile devices). Packed-hover and packed-overlay will probably end up having a lot of uses on user pages and other non-article spaces. Do be careful, though: Packed-hover can cause issues with certain tablet devices, and hides captions from screenreaders. [21:05:16] That'll probably get a few copedits before publication. [21:06:03] AdamCuerden: it would be nice if you linked to a Help: page that shows the various comparisons of the different gallery styles [21:06:19] AdamCuerden: "packed-hover" changes to "packed-overlay". plain "packed" stays the same [21:07:08] Oh, right [21:07:23] And this is why I like to ask the people responsible =) [21:08:38] btw, in regards to screen readers, I got Grahm to test it, and he said it worked fine with screen readers [21:08:38] Is there any way to identify screenreaders, by the way? [21:08:43] Oh, great [21:08:55] Then the warning is unnecessary [21:09:27] I tried to test it with a screen reader myself, that mostly resulted in a lot of swearing, and a realization of how much it must suck to be blind... [21:09:31] Talking about accessibility? [21:09:34] Ay. [21:09:50] Graham is one of our best editors. I don't know how he does it [21:10:18] Anyway, simplifed the last paragraph to "Packed" is the recommended mode for galleries on Wikipedia. Packed-hover and packed-overlay will probably end up having a lot of uses on user pages and other non-article spaces. Do note that packed-hover will change to mimic packed-overlay on the mobile site. [21:10:34] I don't know whether you people know, but I'm currently working on accessibility as contractor to WMDE, so you can come to me if you got anything related to that. [21:11:03] Is *everyone* working for WMDE now? [21:11:06] Heh [21:11:15] PinkAmpersand: huh? [21:12:02] AdamCuerden: It might do different things on the m.wikipedia.org site. I think the "proper" mobile site strips out all gallery code :s, I more meant if you view the "desktop site" on a mobile phone [21:12:18] hoo: Idk, just feels like a lot of people are working for WMDE who didn't use to. Or have you always, and I just forgot? [21:12:45] hoo: Congratulations on that by the way [21:12:55] PinkAmpersand: Well, I were there as an intern earlier this year and I did a lot of things on Wikidata [21:13:17] But with WMDE we aren't actually *this* much people atm, at least not developers [21:13:20] thanks, bawolff ;) [21:13:31] Right. [21:13:37] Its good to see there being more parties developing on mediawiki [21:13:54] Even though WMF and WM-DE are both "wikimedia" folks, its still good to get the diversity [21:14:06] Hm. I think I might let that stand unexplained, then, particularly if en-wiki has an updated help page [21:15:01] bawolff: Yes, but at least I will only work until the end of September [21:15:04] Hmm. According to [[:en:w:Help:Gallery]] "Unfortunately, the syntax does not support "alt" text, so it generates pages that are not accessible to visually impaired and other readers who cannot see the images. [21:15:16] That's old [21:15:26] alt text has been supported for something like a year now [21:15:37] Yeah. That's what I've noticed about a lot of help pages. Is the alt text the same as the caption? [21:16:04] Not quite, usually alt text is specified by doing File:Image.png|alt=alt text here [21:16:13] Help pages can get sooo outdated. Last I checked [[mw:Autoblock]] said that autoblocked users can still edit talkspace. What even? [21:16:22] Since both caption and alt text are read by screen reader [21:16:31] right. [21:16:31] PinkAmpersand: Interesting, I don't think that was ever the case... [21:16:41] So usually you don't want them to be the same [21:17:08] "Finally, users should know that autoblocked users are often still able to edit pages in the talk namespace, but not the main namespace. For instance, an autoblocked user is often able to edit Talk:Foo but not Foo itself. In this case, it is often possible for the user to leave a note for the admin directly on the admin's talk page. Make sure to note that it [21:17:08] is an autoblock, as the admin may mistake your ability to post to his or her talk with being unblocked. It is imperative, whether you post to a talk page or contact an admin via email, that you include the IP address or username that is reported in the block text, as the admin has no way of determining which IP is autoblocking you." [21:17:10] This is also part of the problem of every wiki project making there own help namespace [21:17:37] PinkAmpersand: lol, no... [21:17:53] hmmm... content was copied from en.wp [21:18:07] our docs are a mess [21:18:31] bug 1!!! [21:19:39] goes back to original revision, Jan. 2006 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Autoblock&oldid=34110490 [21:20:29] You think that's bad. When I was searching for a Lilypond help page, I found mainly pages detailing how Lilypond wasn't supported on Wikipedia [21:20:54] Oh, I redirected them to the bare-bones help page and shoved the content off into a historical section, but, sheesh. [21:21:28] Yeah. Well, until I fixed it, [[m:WikiTech]] was some project proposal from 2005 [21:21:34] I have a feeling half my Tech reports are going to end by asking people to please write new help pages. If I don't end up having to do that myself. [22:29:42] weird AFTv5 issue [22:29:46] i just semi-protected a page [22:29:57] I *did not* touch any of the feedback settings [22:29:58] but [22:29:59] (del/undel) 22:28, 28 August 2013 Legoktm (talk | contribs | block) changed visibility of the article feedback tool on "Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood" ‎[articlefeedbackv5=aft-noone] (indefinite) (Persistent sock puppetry) (hist) [22:31:27] articlefeedbackv5=aft-noone indefinite? hmm [22:32:05] superm401, ^ [22:32:33] oh, sorry, that's matt flaschen. wrong person. [22:32:38] No problem [22:34:11] legoktm, well I would suggest telling mlitn but he quit IRC half an hour ago. I suggest filing a bug [22:34:21] ok [22:39:17] filed as https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53506 [23:00:22] AdamCuerden, re your earlier question, that could be because wikitech-ambassadors-l doesn't exist, it's just https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors - did you try subscribing through that page? [23:00:44] mlitn: You might've already seen but legoktm was wondering about what he has now filed as https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53506 [23:02:13] Krenair: thanks for pointing it out, had not yet seen it; think I know what causes it, will look into it! [23:02:36] thanks. I tried to do that myself but I think I've screwed up my protection config. No semiprotect option, oops :/ [23:59:01] gn8 folks
