[04:00:41] is apergos here, or anyone else who works with dumps? [04:03:48] stupid timezone [04:42:19] TimStarling: Looks like only apergos based on the project in phab [04:42:25] (staff wise) [07:16:38] TimStarling: [07:16:44] still here? [07:33:06] apergos: it will be about ~6:30p for TimStarling atm, so might be having dinner [07:33:30] I wondered what he wanted [07:33:44] I see that some knid soul has actually built hhvm 3.12 for jessie in the meantime [07:34:12] still missing are php-luasandbox and php5-fss [07:34:27] there's one more dependency that I can take care of myself [08:07:53] well it's a no go anyways, the hhvm packages are still in the works, some build issues [08:08:01] so I am going to back off to trusty and that wil be that [08:27:10] apergos: for visual integration testing of parsoid and MW we want some XML dumps which use a random sample of articles [08:27:21] we have title lists already suitable for dumpBackup.php [08:27:38] I was wondering if I could use one of the snapshot100x servers to actually run the script [08:27:43] is this a one-off? do you want [08:27:56] one-off for now [08:27:59] a cron job to regnerate from a list every so often? [08:28:00] ok [08:28:11] well I or you can run them from snapshot1003 [08:28:23] that's the misc corn jobs host at the moment [08:28:26] ok [08:28:38] and I can just put the results into /mnt/data somewhere? [08:28:40] or you can shove the details and 'here's where the list is' in a ticket and I can run it later today [08:28:43] so [08:29:09] to be served to the public? or you just need the team to be able to get at them? [08:29:28] the actual testing will run in labs, and labs doesn't have access to the internal production cluster [08:29:46] so I thought hosting it pubicly would be an easy way to download it into labs [08:29:57] fine by me [08:30:04] let's have a diretory for you guys then [08:30:23] /mnt/data/xmldumps/public/other/something [08:30:28] come p with a clever name [08:30:45] ok [08:31:05] I'll run this by subbu tomorrow morning my time before I start [08:31:13] that should be puppetized by you or me (happy to do it) [08:31:25] right [08:31:47] and you (or I) can add al ink to them on the 'other' index html page, which is in the datasets module in puppet [08:31:59] don't think you'd need anything else [08:32:10] this is sounding like it might be easier for you to do than for me to work out how to do [08:32:16] fine [08:32:57] make a ticket and shove my name on it, with the details and I'll add the info there as it's done [08:33:22] ok, thanks [08:33:29] then if you want to run future dumps of this nature it's already set up [08:33:31] yw [08:34:15] by the way, the reason it is one-off is because one of the reasons for doing XML dumps, rather than using the live site, is for stability of results [08:34:45] we want new failures to be due to code changes rather than text changes [08:35:02] so I imagine we would update rarely, maybe once a year [08:36:23] right [11:58:39] apergos: I created https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131838 [11:58:58] yep and I have already added it to the right column in my workboard. thank you! [11:59:37] TimStarling: is this a go then or should I wait for you to check with subbu? [12:00:03] you may as well go ahead [12:00:07] great [12:00:12] you'll have them by tomorrow [12:00:28] excellent, thanks a lot [12:00:31] yw [14:40:20] Heyo. Could someone create a git repo for me? I seem to no longer have the magic bits to do so. :-) [14:40:39] mediawiki/extensions/TemplateStyles [14:41:37] your realname still has (WMF) in it [14:41:55] Ah, needs fixin'. Gimme a sec [14:42:14] Also need to change the emaqil. :-) [14:43:00] I don't see (WMF) in my name? [14:43:14] Not in Gerrit anyways. Did you mean elsewhere? [14:43:28] on IRC [14:43:39] Oh, hah. [14:45:23] Coren, done [14:45:41] oh wait, I have to do a couple more steps [14:45:59] ty (in advance) :-) [14:46:12] * Coren grumbles as freenode doesn't support SETNAME [14:48:21] Coren, I'm sure there's supposed to be something for Phabricator, but the list of steps ends here.. [14:49:23] Coren, do you want a group to go with this? I don't know what rights you still hold [14:52:12] Krenair: I think I'm mostly magicless now. Can you give +2 to all corelike people plus me? [14:52:25] yes [14:56:27] Coren, should be fine now [14:56:34] Ty. [14:56:51] Heh. Ima actually use Moriel's new tool for the boilerplate. :-) [14:58:00] what does the new tool do? [14:58:48] https://tools.wmflabs.org/mwstew/ <-- builds a skeleton extension with much of the gruntwork and structure. [14:58:59] She did this at the hackathon. :-) [15:01:05] nice [15:01:39] It's great because it remembers things like i18n/qqq.json for you. :-) [15:19:38] TimStarling, apergos thanks. [15:19:48] yw [16:12:39] Oh, le sigh. Looks like mediawiki-vagrant has issues with Xenial [16:39:48] Ah. I think Xenial has a ruby that is /too/ recent. [19:23:17] HELP [19:25:01] Hi, I am hosting a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon tomorrow night and just filed a task in Phabricator to request a lift of the IP cap. What is the time frame for this request being fulfilled? As I said the event is tomorrow night so hoping to have it done before then! Thanks [19:27:21] hi zanynaz [19:29:22] zanynaz: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131878 ? [19:29:43] zanynaz: please add the IP addresses for which you're requesting this, otherwise no one can do anything :D see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation#Requesting_temporary_lift_of_IP_cap [19:30:18] zanynaz: it's good to request these a couple of days in advance, but it can be done later today [19:37:22] (assuming you provide the IP address to exempt…) [19:39:37] Thanks I will get back to you in a minute [19:46:14] We have 32 computers in the computer lab that we will be using for the edit-a-thon [19:46:16] 152.2.81.101 152.2.81.102 152.2.81.103 152.2.81.104 152.2.81.105 152.2.81.106 152.2.81.107 152.2.81.108 152.2.81.109 152.2.81.110 152.2.81.111 152.2.81.112 152.2.81.113 152.2.81.114 152.2.81.115 152.2.81.116 152.2.81.117 152.2.81.118 152.2.81.119 152.2.81.120 152.2.81.121 152.2.81.122 152.2.81.123 152.2.81.124 152.2.81.125 152.2.81.126 152.2.81.127 152.2.81.128 152.2.81.129 152.2.81.130 152.2.81.131 152.2.81.132 [19:47:28] I added the IP addresses to the task [19:47:58] zanynaz: ERrm [19:48:03] If you've more computers than people... [19:48:08] You don't need a throttle exclusion [19:48:44] s/more computers/more IP addresses/ [19:48:44] I'm not sure how many people will be attending the event but I thought better safe than sorry [19:49:19] i'm not sure what the default limit per IP address is. [19:50:19] 6 [19:50:23] I was told that: Wikipedia allows only six new editors to create new accounts from the same location (based on IP address) during a 24-hour period (i.e., if you have more than six people trying to register at your edit-a-thon, their registration attempts may be denied.) [19:50:33] So, you've 32 IPs [19:50:39] yes [19:50:42] 32 x 6 = 192 [19:51:23] ah I see so it's 6 per IP address, not 6 per LOCATION based on IP address [19:51:32] No [19:51:45] In most cases, a venue would only have 1 or 2 IP addresses [19:51:50] So, then it's a problem [19:57:11] Hi Reedy, this is Kenny, I am participating in this event. We will have some people on laptops, and some people on computers in a computer lab in a university campus library. Just so that I understand correctly, as long as six or less people create accounts from a single computer, we shouldn't run into any issues? The situation will be several people in the same building/lab creating accounts virtually simultaneously from dif [19:57:45] zanynaz: Do laptops/wireless clients get their own static ip too? [19:57:49] (I know my uni did that) [19:58:03] Krenair: ^ [19:58:15] They get dynamic ips [19:58:38] sorry, static is the wrong word [19:58:42] They get an external ip? [19:59:53] I believe so. So even if they are at the same location, they will all have different IPs and so it shouldn't be a problem, correct? [20:00:15] MatmaRex, yeah, sounds like Reedy's got this [20:00:16] thanks [20:00:25] zanynaz: Right [20:00:43] zanynaz: Adjacent IPs don't usually have anyhting to do with geographical distance [20:01:15] Yes, I understand that. [20:01:39] OK good, I think there was just confusion with one of our coordinators here on what would constitute the need for this special dispensation. [20:01:57] Yeah, it's probably a bit vague [20:01:59] Because there should be one person per computer, each with its own IP address [20:02:07] No worries, thanks for your help! [20:02:09] Even more so, if you're not technical [20:02:14] Np :) [21:01:32] Note https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131890 #dæng o_O [21:01:47] Huston, we have a screw-up [21:02:20] I guess this is the global banner and nothing admins at Commons can fix? [21:02:29] jeblad: probably [21:02:58] * jeblad thinks someone has to pay... [21:03:31] * jeblad 0.02$ [21:05:07] Thanks MatmaRex for correct tag on phab. ;) [21:05:26] jeblad: interestingly, i don't see this problem myself, huh. [21:05:52] I've used firefox.. [21:06:39] I'll add some additional debug info [21:07:44] jeblad: the banner can be edited here, it seems: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralNoticeBanners/edit/POTY_2015_R1_PROD [21:07:48] (by whoever has the permissions) [21:09:20] I can't edit.. [21:09:38] z-index 98, that seems to low [21:13:24] jeblad: fiddling with z-index is no doubt going to break something else. maybe the echo popup, or WP:NAVPOP, or the Wikilove dialogs, or something. the banner should enforce a stacking context [21:13:31] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Positioning/Understanding_z_index/The_stacking_context [21:14:13] not "low" but high, seems like the suggester has no z-index before it hits a z-index of auto [21:16:00] jeblad: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131890#2182018 [21:17:41] hmm [21:17:51] Steinsplitter: it looks like it's your banner. can you fix this? ^ [21:18:21] oh, hmm. maybe i can too, actually. [21:18:23] Tried to set z-index 100 but it didn't work.. :( [21:18:40] Transparent menu I guess.. [21:18:53] Anyhow, back to what I was doing! =) [21:20:16] i think i fixed it. https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Centralnotice-template-POTY_2015_R1_PROD&diff=15503815&oldid=15489752 [21:20:24] jeblad: ^ can you clear your cache and see if it's fixed? [21:22:20] Jepp! Its fixed! O_O [21:23:01] yay [21:36:51] Coren, https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-TemplateStyles [21:37:33] That's automagically created? [21:37:45] interesting Gerrit discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11429915 [21:38:00] (discussion about Gerrit vs other code review tools) [21:39:57] Coren, no
