[03:28:14] I'm getting random 503 errors, server overload messages, and such, with periods of normal functionality inbetween [05:02:31] Dear channel, recently in Ukrainian Wikipedia we have a complicated case with vandalism, that as of now resulted in an entire range of IPs belonging to a major cellular network blocked for anonymous edits. [05:03:16] Admins say they have no other way to keep the vandal out because he's constantly changing IPs and behavior. [05:04:05] The vandal targets a specific subject, but not specific articles. [05:04:58] I'm wondering if there's a way to somehow automatically single-out this vandal without blocking anonymous edits from an entire cellular carrier? [05:05:37] Use an abuse filter? [05:06:30] I suppose (or rather hope) they considered this possibility. Abuse filter works based on the text added/removed? [05:06:45] yes [05:06:48] and many other things [05:07:04] for instance? [05:07:38] article title, user age, ip range etc. [05:07:54] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter/Rules_format#All_variables [05:08:17] thanks you. May I post a log of this conversation on our Village Pump? [05:08:33] Yes, this channel is publicly logged anyway. [05:09:23] Okay, thanks. One more question - do you know any additional mechanisms besides abuse filters and IP blocking that might help here? [05:09:57] maybe title blacklist? [05:11:48] They said he moves to other articles if an article is protected [05:11:55] (he or she) [19:04:23] Depressing https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Specal:MessageGroupStats/agg-2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey [19:38:23] do we have problem with generating thumbnail at the moment? [19:38:44] 503: Service Unavailable. [19:38:46] ankry: even display full images doesn't seem to work for me [19:39:03] OK. [19:40:11] status.wikimedia.org shows everything ok though [19:40:19] status.wikimedia.org is a lie [19:40:24] :D [19:40:50] snowolf: full images are fine for me [19:41:09] Reedy: just tried again, they seem to be working for me too [19:41:10] As is new thumbnails it seems [19:41:19] ankry: looks like it might've just been a blip [19:41:23] and thumbnails seem fine too yeah [20:35:55] is this the right channel to ask about backup dumps? i downloaded from https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20151201/ the file enwiki-20151201-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2, and bzip -tvv reports "data integrity error while decompressing", i downloaded the file to two different machines on two different networks and both copies have the same md5sum (although the dump download page doesn't tell me the md5sum of the multistream dump) [20:36:29] styl1te: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121348 [20:36:30] apergos: ^ [20:36:47] I filed a task about it, as you're not the first person to complain about it [20:36:57] thanks, I'll check it out tomorrow [20:37:02] Reedy: thank you [20:37:47] I wonder why I didn't CC apergos [20:37:49] heh [20:38:20] so i'm 30% through bzip2 -tvv on the 1102 dump but I'm guessing that it'll be uncorrupted [20:38:30] claimed [20:39:33] thanks [22:00:36] styl1te: still about? [22:01:11] styl1te: If so, can you answer https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121348#1882873 [22:01:16] Do you have an account on phabricator? [22:03:08] (Get a Phab account. It takes half a minute: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Creating_your_account_and_notifications ) [23:11:00] got it [23:39:19] well it's taken a little bit longer than half a minute, first i had to try a bunch of usernames, all taken (entering a new Captcha string each time, and re-entering my password twice); now I'm waiting for an email [23:39:52] which just arrived... [23:41:01] then MediaWiki said "Your email address has now been confirmed" [23:41:23] but Phabricator says "You must verify your email address to login" [23:41:28] yep [23:41:33] that's normal [23:41:49] don't think phabricator can even see your mediawiki email address [23:43:39] not unless you oauth [23:48:17] btw does mediawiki support attacking more than 1 email address? [23:48:22] that would be so nice [23:48:31] *attaching [23:48:35] lol typo [23:49:15] no [23:49:19] ok, well perhaps you can ask me the question here, and paste my reply [23:49:29] only one address can be attached to each account [23:51:45] :( I though perhaps it supports but just wikimedia config sucks as usual. like with double (triple, quadriple and whatever so forth) redirects [23:52:14] *quadruple [23:55:33] fb and friends support adding many emails and it's rather convenient
