[03:17:28] <tuxnani>	 Hi all, how does IP whitelisting work? I have a wiki training session at a college for students, and I need them to create accounts on large scale (around 100 ) from same IP address. But the throttle makes it limit to 6.
[03:17:37] <tuxnani>	 Where should I request?
[03:20:38] <RoanKattouw>	 tuxnani: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation
[03:21:16] <tuxnani>	 RoanKattouw: That wont help, I need them to create account on their own
[03:22:37] <RoanKattouw>	 tuxnani: Read the second section
[03:22:46] <RoanKattouw>	 "Requesting temporary lift of IP ca"
[03:22:47] <tuxnani>	 ok thank you
[09:12:19] <Nemo_bis>	 twkozlowski: sysops on Meta and mediawiki.org should be less confused in the future thanks to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/138815/
[09:12:39] <Nemo_bis>	 But it's supposed to be self-explanatory and nothing changes, so no communication needed.
[09:13:57] <Nemo_bis>	 ugh https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2014/26 links a user page of mine
[09:14:24] <Nemo_bis>	 But it's fine, people will blame me instead of Robin
[09:16:54] * twkozlowski neither a sysop on Meta nor on MediaWiki.org so <shrug>
[09:17:31] <Nemo_bis>	 twkozlowski: same for Commons :)
[09:20:24] <Nemo_bis>	 twkozlowski: by contrast, this is IMHO worth communicating because people can change some defensive habits https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tech/News/2014/26&diff=8938640&oldid=8938627
[09:21:21] <Nemo_bis>	 But it's only Translate wikis, feel free to remove if I should instead post on translator-only spaces
[09:25:45] <Nemo_bis>	 aww, wikidata broke https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MostInterwikis ?
[09:47:02] <Nemo_bis>	 Reedy: I'm submitting a config change depending on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/134400/ ; do you plan to merge it or should I add to today's swat
[09:49:10] <Reedy>	 Hmm
[09:49:13] <Reedy>	 What's scheduled for today...
[10:27:25] <Nemo_bis>	 Reedy: thanks, I also see https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=commonsuploads.dblist :) so now we're even ready for https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/140684/1 if you wish (they have had 1 month to discuss it locally and they were promised it would happen in a week)
[10:28:08] <Reedy>	 !log manually ran sync-common tin on fenari
[10:28:13] <morebots>	 Logged the message, Master
[12:39:18] <twkozlowski>	 oh no, brion is killing the Windows 8/8.1 Wikipedia app :-(
[12:39:20] <twkozlowski>	 It was so nice.
[12:43:18] <matanya>	 windows and nice in the same sentence, hmm. how weird 
[15:54:21] <twkozlowski>	 andre__: Can I has two searches changed to 'bz_canusewhines'?
[15:55:03] <andre__>	 twkozlowski, doesn't that need to be done by the creator of those saved searches?
[15:55:15] <andre__>	 well in any case, I can try, but I think even an admin cannot do that
[15:55:21] <twkozlowski>	 Oh, this can't be done by super-admins? :-)
[15:55:33] <twkozlowski>	 I'd blame jeremy but he isn't here.
[15:55:50] <twkozlowski>	 His searches are shared to 'editbugs', and I'm unsure of the difference.
[15:55:58] <twkozlowski>	 s/to/with
[15:57:16] <mutante>	 in your bz, stealing your searchez
[15:57:57] <twkozlowski>	 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336437 BTW FYI andre__
[15:58:17] <andre__>	 twkozlowski, oh yay, thanks
[15:59:17] <twkozlowski>	 oh, of course andre__ has an account on the KDE Bugzilla :-)
[15:59:33] <andre__>	 twkozlowski, I basically have Bugzilla accounts everywhere :P
[16:02:15] <twkozlowski>	 Well, KDE is the only Bugzilla instances that Googles for that phrase :-)
[16:02:23] <twkozlowski>	 instance*
[16:03:43] <twkozlowski>	 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201756#c10 world is so small
[16:13:27] <Nemo_bis>	 I'm on KDE's bugzilla too
[16:13:36] <Nemo_bis>	 we'll feel more lonely on phabricator ;)
[17:21:09] <twkozlowski>	 James_F: The usual ping is here :-)
[17:21:58] <James_F>	 twkozlowski: Doing Quarterly Review today, but definitely by tomorrow. :-)
[17:26:01] <twkozlowski>	 Thanks James_F :-)
[19:11:29] <YuviPanda>	 yes, we know the site is down.
[19:11:33] <YuviPanda>	 people are looking at it
[19:12:21] <twkozlowski>	 YuviPanda: update topic?
[19:24:32] <abian>	 Fixed?
[19:24:46] <gifti>	 yes
[19:25:02] <abian>	 Great :)
[19:50:08] <twkozlowski>	 "I just got a page load error on @Wikipedia for the first time ever. I'm not even mad. Solid engineering to date."
[19:50:11] <twkozlowski>	 LOL
[19:50:41] <Reedy>	 twkozlowski: Reply with donation form
[19:51:07] <twkozlowski>	 Haha, okay
[20:02:38] <Donald_ET3>	 Wikimedia has 1% of all FreeNode channels!?
[20:03:17] <twkozlowski>	 We do?
[20:03:37] <mutante>	 Donald_ET3: hehe, i can imagine we do
[20:04:04] <Donald_ET3>	 I searched Wikimedia. My search engine said "Displaying 107/10686 channels"!
[20:05:04] <marktraceur>	 We do love our channels.
[20:05:26] <marktraceur>	 Probably any other free software movement/organization as big as us just runs their own network
[20:05:33] <marktraceur>	 (see: Mozilla, GNOME)
[20:05:45] <Nemo_bis>	 107? I counted over 500 last time
[20:05:57] <Nemo_bis>	 There is a partial list at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Channels
[20:05:58] <marktraceur>	 Some of them aren't prefixed with wikimedia
[20:05:59] <mutante>	 Donald_ET3: but to make up for it, we also run a Freenode server :)
[20:06:07] <marktraceur>	 #mediawiki, #mediawiki-.*
[20:06:20] <Nemo_bis>	 Plus the secret ones of course
[20:06:22] <marktraceur>	 #wikidata
[20:06:24] <marktraceur>	 Nemo_bis: Sshhhhh
[20:07:03] <mutante>	 at least -dev -tech -ops and -core is needed for each product :)
[20:07:13] <marktraceur>	 Obvs
[20:07:23] <Donald_ET3>	 mutante: Good.
[20:07:30] <marktraceur>	 Plus there's like a lot of #wikipedia-.* stuff
[20:07:34] <mutante>	 Donald_ET3: dickson.wikimedia.org = dickson.freenode.net
[20:10:08] <marktraceur>	 I wonder if we'd ever evaluate starting our own IRC network.
[20:10:17] <marktraceur>	 Like, Dickson is a good idea regardless
[20:10:39] <marktraceur>	 But running a server for #wikipedia-.* and #wikimedia-.* and #mediawiki-.* is probably not a terrible plan
[20:11:35] <^d>	 twkozlowski: In other cool search news btw, we rolled out a new search operator in the new branch today (so it's on the testwikis).
[20:11:59] <^d>	 insource: searches based on the un-expanded wikitext (more like the old search) and supports regular expressions.
[20:12:17] <twkozlowski>	 ^d: Yes, Nik added this to Tech News #26 I think
[20:12:19] <twkozlowski>	 !technext
[20:12:29] <twkozlowski>	 wm-bot: You lazy bastard
[20:12:32] <MatmaRex>	 twkozlowski: yeah, this channel has no bot
[20:12:44] <MatmaRex>	 or rather, it uses a separate database than #mediawiki and #-dev and the rest, or something
[20:12:54] <twkozlowski>	 I did use to work though
[20:12:57] <mutante>	 marktraceur: you mean irc.wikimedia.org ? :)
[20:12:59] <twkozlowski>	 it*
[20:13:01] <MatmaRex>	 yes
[20:13:04] <MatmaRex>	 but it broke
[20:13:05] <mutante>	 like the not-read only version
[20:13:11] <^d>	 Ah I see it.
[20:13:14] <MatmaRex>	 someone needs to get petan to fix it
[20:13:15] <^d>	 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2014/26
[20:13:33] <twkozlowski>	 Yep. Will need to shorten this a bit
[20:13:39] <marktraceur>	 mutante: Basically yeah
[20:13:41] <twkozlowski>	 Or you guys get your own newsletter!
[20:14:02] <marktraceur>	 mutante: I feel my community-political-uproar sense tingling though
[20:14:20] <twkozlowski>	 Let's move irc.wikimedia.org to Freenode, and then we can take over the whole network!
[20:14:26] <marktraceur>	 Muahahaha
[20:14:41] <twkozlowski>	 <evil grin>
[20:15:05] <mutante>	 marktraceur: we'd need multiple servers, just having one IRC box and officially moving, then that going down ,, i can already imagine it
[20:15:13] <marktraceur>	 Yeah
[20:15:59] <mutante>	 then the bouncer run by OIT (-> loomio) can connect to dickson
[20:16:09] <marktraceur>	 Especially with the traffic from -en-help and -en and the other big ones
[20:16:18] <marktraceur>	 -operations would probably be a big hit too :)
[20:16:45] <mutante>	 i will take a day off during the discussion which channel should have which bot in it :)
[20:17:36] <marktraceur>	 mutante: grrrit-wm winds up in #wikipedia-en, nobody knows why but nobody questions it
[20:19:09] <mutante>	 marktraceur: :)  icinga-wm and grrrit-wm  should be going together, tells you if stuff breaks right after a merge
[20:19:32] <marktraceur>	 Obvs
[22:00:54] <Ede_123>	 Hi, is this the right place to ask for gerrit commits to be reviewed?
[22:01:13] <Ede_123>	 specifically https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/121044/ which wasn't modified since March 26th ?
[22:02:37] <marktraceur>	 Hey Ede_123
[22:02:54] <marktraceur>	 thedj: Your change is being poked
[22:03:08] <marktraceur>	 Ede_123: This isn't the primary dev channel, but that's OK.
[22:05:47] <Ede_123>	 thanks... I assume #wikimedia-dev would be the right(er) place to go then or is there some even more appropriate place?
