[15:59:32] o/ [16:01:06] \o/ [16:01:12] It's time for another session [16:01:29] of the Technical Advice IRC meeting [16:01:34] Hosted by CFisch_WMDE and I! [16:02:52] :-) [16:06:52] Sooo anyone any issues to discuss? :-) [16:16:46] * legoktm waves [16:17:32] o/ [16:18:36] if people are listening, I'll pitch that global prefs is now ready for testing on beta cluster (https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2018-February/089562.html) thanks to awesome work by the comm tech team [16:20:11] it is indeeed :D [16:20:18] and it is awesome!! [16:21:22] the exceptions will be coming in a later version right? [16:21:32] Which exceptions? [16:21:41] i mean, wiki exepctions [16:21:54] to set it all, except a wiki [16:22:02] or wasnt that planned? [16:22:29] might have misunderstood that (its been a while since I read about it) [16:23:25] I don't see a task for it [16:23:37] maybe Niharika knows? ^^ [16:24:00] I read about it a while ago I thought [16:24:43] the local exceptions can be added after a global preference is set it seems: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:U8f0q7p9gioaclyi [16:25:12] I just found out yea [16:25:25] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GlobalPreferences#Local_exceptions [16:26:36] sorry this is me not reading up beforehand ^^ [16:26:45] ^^ [16:28:20] Isn't it a smart idea to make that help page translatable? [16:31:32] Wiki13: It's a wiki. Feel free :) [16:32:08] im not a translate admin but I can do the first step :p [16:32:19] have to figure first tho :p [16:36:44] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help%3AExtension%3AGlobalPreferences&type=revision&diff=2726875&oldid=2713900 done [16:37:28] only need a translation admin mark it for translation [16:38:07] I.. don't think that's right [16:38:14] You need to break it up into sections [16:38:27] you sure? [16:38:49] Compare with https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:User_rights_and_groups&action=edit [16:38:56] etc [16:39:12] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:User_rights_and_groups&diff=2452327&oldid=2452326 [16:39:25] doesnt that happen when a translation admin marks it? [16:39:54] Unless something has changed, I didn't think that was automatic [16:40:32] one way to test that out is let a translation admin mark that [16:40:41] I suppose [16:41:36] revi: you here? [16:41:55] Hmm [16:41:58] It seems it will [16:42:15] "The page Help:Extension:GlobalPreferences has been marked up for translation with 20 translation units. The page can now be translated." [16:42:26] oh okay [16:42:32] hmm? [16:42:39] nvm revi got reedy to do it :p [16:42:45] lol [16:42:59] always late (tm) [16:43:03] hahahaha [16:43:13] indeed thats your trademark ^^ [16:43:24] well bad timing [16:43:40] I suppress all the ping notification after midnight [16:43:51] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=2726903&oldid=2726881 woops forgot that thanks Reedy [16:44:40] remind me, is there fixed ETA for globalpref to land on SUL sites? [16:47:06] thats a good question... I would like an answer to that as well, if possible [16:51:28] revi: Wiki13 the tracking task is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184121 [16:51:38] no ETA on there [16:51:43] looks like it is blocked by https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184666 [16:52:35] okay. I subsribed to that task so I can follow the progress [16:52:42] thanks for the link [16:53:11] Wiki13: legoktm: Exceptions can be set on Special:Preferences. There's a checkbox under each preference that is globally set. [16:53:38] we were talking about the ETA of globalpref to meta.wm.o [16:53:45] revi: ETA would be about two weeks. [16:53:45] weren’t we? [16:53:52] yea, found that out a bit after [16:53:55] o rly? [16:54:01] (me dances) [16:54:13] revi: To all production wikis, not just meta. [16:54:28] its on labs already revi [16:54:32] you can test it there :D [16:54:38] looks good [16:55:05] I already tested it [16:55:30] used it on deploy.wm.beta then tried it in meta.wm.beta, which was bit... slow but I was trying it on Mobile [16:56:02] and I always have at least 20 or 30 tabs in my browser so [16:56:15] 08:18:37 if people are listening, I'll pitch that global prefs is now ready for testing on beta cluster (https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2018-February/089562.html) thanks to awesome work by the comm tech team -- and modest people like legoktm as well! [16:56:46] revi: The beta cluster itself is slow. Nothing to do with global preferences. [16:56:58] rip lol [17:00:03] anyway globalpref finally coming to sul is a big +1000000 [17:00:52] so, thats the hour of the dedicated IRC tech help time over! [17:00:55] until next weeek! [17:01:45] bye bye! [17:01:53] \o [17:10:22] so eh revi, now I could use your help with page translation :P [17:10:31] I fixed a small typo: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help%3AExtension%3AGlobalPreferences&type=revision&diff=2726958&oldid=2726903 [17:10:53] k [17:11:29] and done!
