[00:09:41] kaldari: in the future, I think https://github.com/unitedstates/congress-legislators#overview has all the data you needed, and is CC-0 licensed. [00:09:55] legoktm: oh cool [00:10:17] glad there's at least 1 thing out there that doesn't have dumb licensing :) [00:11:58] and it even has Wikidata IDs :) [00:20:18] indeed :D [00:21:15] I put it on the TODO list for the extension [00:22:11] It's amazing how many non-software projects are on github now [04:46:57] help [04:50:17] What can we help you with? [05:17:37] hi, does anyone know why Extension:UserMerge isn't used on WMF sites (even though it appears to be installed)? [05:20:50] It used to be used on wikivoyage only during the wikitravel -> wikivoyage migrations [05:21:37] i think theres some concerns around maintaining authorship records for copyright purposes [05:21:56] im also unsure hiw well it plays with centralauth [05:26:17] yeah, CentralAuth was the part I was unsure about. The extension page otherwise claims that it is stable [05:27:18] it seems in theory you could merge users on each individual wiki, then update the central auth tables accordingly [05:28:57] Which is more or less what renameuser does [05:37:53] musikanimal: there's also https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T98915 to consider [05:40:54] ah, I was looking at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156584 [05:41:24] all subtasks and related tasks closed [05:41:34] same for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T69758 in theory [05:42:33] But I don't remember if something had actually been done and tested :) [05:44:55] hehe [05:46:07] well I for one would *love* to see a working UserMerge on WMF [05:55:40] musikanimal, Nemo_bis: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156584#4203549 [05:58:29] Thanks [05:59:26] So perhaps the only actionable item for now is to document how one can supposedly make user IDs / usernames manageable in their extensions? Or what else is left to do in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T98915 ? [06:02:01] Probably. I think UserMerge also needs support for the actor table (unless someone already added that) [06:06:10] oh boy. So I guess the answer is, we won't be seeing UserMerge anytime soon? :( [06:11:41] not unless someone decides to work on it... [06:15:10] is User Merge subject to the Sunsetting Working Group review? [06:19:43] I'm guessing so, and when that happens, I envision people much smarter than me coming around, waving their magic wands, and I'll be there to root them along :) [07:35:54] hmm, wanted to check the canal log but http://www.ur1.ca/qn76y seems down [07:37:20] psychoslave: https://wm-bot.wmflabs.org/logs/%23wikimedia-tech/ [07:55:25] Funny, Google's GDPR messages went to Gmail's spam [16:00:59] Hi, looking for a little help if possible from a sysadmin. [16:01:17] What with? [16:01:36] Looking for help exempting an IP address for a Wikidata hackathon on 16 May (1-3pm GMT) [16:01:52] Info said post here if needed on short notice: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation#Requesting_temporary_lift_of_IP_cap [16:02:32] Getting 8-20 new editors to work with Quickstatements on Wikidata to import mass edits. [16:02:53] Also getting them to create Listeria Wikidata lists on Wikipedia subpages. [16:03:12] Part of a workshop for Digital Day of Ideas at the University of Edinburgh. [16:05:26] Are you experiencing any problems creating accounts? [16:06:07] I dunno how the uni of edinburgh does IP allocation... But I know other Universities give one public IPv4 address per device, so you don't really need any exemptions [16:06:47] We got the cap lifted for an event we did in february with same kind of numbers. [16:06:55] The IP address is 172.20.106.73 [16:07:14] Problem seems to be that Quickstatements fails if we don't have the cap lifted [16:07:41] Multiple users all doing mass edits at once = edits all fail /bottleneck [16:09:08] You're doing... More than 400 edits in 5 minutes? [16:09:43] Potentially yes. [16:10:00] That change of caps is for account creation, not for edits [16:10:44] Account creation would help too [16:11:38] Have they being editing anonymous? [16:11:41] anonymously [16:11:47] Not sure why Quickstatements fails (whether it is cap or the fact that new users need to be 'confirmed') but it seemed to work okay last time [16:12:04] No, not anonymous [16:12:16] They all setup new accounts at start of workshop [16:13:21] Ok, so yeah. If they've setup accounts already, adding a throttle exemption isn't going to help [16:15:23] Here's the task I raised on Phabricator last time. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T187655 [16:16:17] You reckon it's not a throttle issue then? Something more for a Wikidata admin? [16:16:37] It is a throttling issue, but a throttle affecting something different [16:17:15] Did you have to contact a wikidata admin last time? [16:19:08] I left a message asking for one but not sure if it was picked up. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive/2018/02#Any_admin_available_to_help_Wikidata_hackathon_on_Wed_21_Feb? [16:41:01] have left messages on Bureaucrats noticeboard on Wikidata, Admin's noticeboard on Wikidata and Request for permissions . Hopefully, this may help. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions/Other_rights#Stinglehammer_2 [16:51:01] could we please expedite https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T180318#4202395 ? [16:51:27] I don't want to wait more days to use my repository [16:52:06] annika: i set the priority to "high" . it did not have any set [16:55:09] ok, thanks [17:15:28] annika: sorry about that, taking care of it now [17:15:40] woohoo :) [17:16:41] annika: you should be good now [17:18:32] legoktm: is that to be expected that jenkins-bot only gave V +1 for my patchsets? [17:18:47] maybe you're not whitelisted? you should be... [17:19:08] ah [17:19:33] i did them in my browser, maybe that's why [17:21:33] annika: if you want to submit a patch like https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/428068/ with your Gerrit email address I can merge it in a bit [17:26:39] Hi. I need some help if possible. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T194310#4205297 [17:26:45] thanks in advance [17:28:51] found it [17:28:55] sorry for asking [17:29:50] Hauskatze: Composer update is only any use if you tell composer it needs to load dependancies from extensions [17:30:32] Reedy: I was doing php GenerateEquivset.php but it was bin/console generate-equivset [17:38:43] worked this time but I think the equivset generated is weird now [17:40:30] legoktm: can i include a regex fix? [18:03:07] Hello, do you know if it is possible to detect usage of "{{subst:a_page}}" from "a_page" ? [18:27:47] Shawn__: apparently it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Ifsubst [18:30:23] MatmaRex: thank you but I dindn't want to test it inside wikicode but I want to find in which pages is the page used with "subst" [18:30:51] hm, in that case, probably not [18:31:54] ok [19:48:04] legoktm: the repo is still archived and gerrit is still rejecting patches :(
