[03:24:31] <Pathoschild>	 Hi! Long ago redirecting user pages to another wiki using #REDIRECT was discouraged, because that added the page to Special:BrokenRedirects. That doesn't happen anymore; is there any reason to discourage that now? Is it still discouraged on some wikis?
[03:24:54] <Pathoschild>	 (On some Wikimedia wikis, that is.)
[03:43:24] <lestaty>	 global userpages are in testing now, so I imagine that we can discourage users to not redirect pages... on tech terms I can't imagine problems with a interwiki-redirect (imo)
[03:52:51] <Pathoschild>	 Thanks. :)
[03:53:50] <legoktm>	 Pathoschild: o/
[03:54:04] <legoktm>	 Pathoschild: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2015-February/001092.html :)
[03:54:51] <Pathoschild>	 Yay! \o/
[03:55:12] <comets>	 CentralAuth on mw now shows the number of wiki one is attached on..is it global userpage related?
[03:55:50] <legoktm>	 probably not
[03:56:49] * lestaty looks to synchbot again and can see pathos crying
[03:56:49] <legoktm>	 comets: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86503
[04:02:24] <Pathoschild>	 Do we have an idea how soon this could go live, assuming all goes well with the test? Are we talking weeks or months?
[04:03:06] <Pathoschild>	 If it's right around the corner, I might start discouraging new Synchbot requests to create user pages.
[04:29:02] <legoktm>	 Pathoschild: full deployment is currently scheduled for Feb 18th
[04:37:55] <Pathoschild>	 Whee!
[04:47:35] <Pathoschild>	 legoktm: will the "use global user page" setting default to true when this goes live, or will users have to manually set it on all wikis?
[04:55:17] <legoktm>	 Pathoschild: it'll be true, and since it only exists as a global preference (which isn't deployed) it won't have any effect or even exist on WMF wikis
[05:00:15] <Pathoschild>	 Thanks. :)
[16:10:35] <Betacommand>	 legoktm: any eta on global prefs?
[16:28:16] <Nemo_bis>	 Betacommand: you can help test global user pages for now :)
[17:33:37] <dottedmag>	 I have problem accessing wikimedia servers over IPv6. Over IPv4 everything works fine, and IPv6 functions fine for e.g. Google.
[17:33:52] <dottedmag>	 It fails here like the following: http://paste.debian.net/144572/
[17:34:15] <dottedmag>	 I can open a connection to en.wikipedia.org, but don't get any reply.
[17:34:38] <dottedmag>	 v6 ping works everywhere, mtr traces are also fine.
[17:35:52] <dottedmag>	 Once I force v4 the connection is ok: http://paste.debian.net/144573/
[17:39:39] <Platonides>	 works for me
[17:40:23] <Platonides>	 does it help if you force it to resolve to 2620:0:861:ed1a::1 ? (eqiad datacenter instead of esams)
[17:41:21] <dottedmag>	 Yes, it does.
[17:51:35] <dottedmag>	 Uhm, seems to be very unreliable: I've got answer from 862 once as well, and now 861 does not respond.
[17:51:54] <dottedmag>	 Anyway, I have found I see the same issue with another host, so it is not wikimedia related, but something to ask ISP.
[17:51:57] <dottedmag>	 Sorry for the noise!
[22:59:55] <legoktm>	 Betacommand: not really. I'm not happy with the current implementation...
[23:02:00] <Fiona>	 legoktm: What don't you like?
[23:06:37] <legoktm>	 https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-GlobalPreferences/blob/master/SpecialGlobalPreferences.php mainly
[23:09:14] <legoktm>	 https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-GlobalPreferences/blob/master/GlobalPreferences.hooks.php#L147 is also pretty bad :/
