HoverGallery
Hi QChris, thanks for creating the repo SectionDisqus. About the impossibility to rename Hovergallery, wouldn't it be possible to just delete it and create a new one? I have only done one or two commits, so really no git history would be lost. Thanks. --LFS (talk) 08:44, 19 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi, we could delete Hovergallery and create HoverGallery. However, this would cause lots of side effects. Gerrit's watchers of Hovergallery will not get alerted for changes on HoverGallery. History of changes gets lost. It seems TranslateWiki has already been set up for Hovergallery; how does that cope with renaming? We cannot update users' wikis (that enabled Hovergallery) to use HoverGallery instead of Hovergallery. ... So deleting the old one and creating a new one is disruptive. As written on the repo request page, file a bug about it. But ^demon is the authority here. So I guess it's better to ask him directly. QChris (talk) 10:14, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Request for pywikibot/bots/drtrigonbot repo
Hello QChris

What I need is a repo for use with e.g. labs. There must be a way to do this - how to backup my labs files and so on in the long-term otherwise? As mentioned may be we should call it labs/tools/drtrigonbot ...? I don't know... or maybe per user/developer called pywikibot/users/drtrigonbot.

By the way; is it possible to create another repo later under a new name and move the actual one over, if needed?

Thanks and Greetings --DrTrigon (talk) 11:28, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
