''' Welcome, Mark S, and thank you for joining us as a part of the Structured Data initiatives in Wikimedia Foundation's Product Engineering unit! We're glad you're here. '''

If you are stuck at any point, you can try the following for various questions.
 * Ask your onboarding buddy, Simone.
 * Slack, in #structured-data
 * For some things you can ask IT Services (ITS). Ask Mark H in case you need help with such a request.

Primer
Read the following for a primer on some of the work from the teams.

Structured Data on Commons ("SDC")
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data

The team was originally funded in part by a generous grant for the Structured Data on Commons project. You should watch the video and read that webpage for a basic understanding of things. Also, read the original grant paperwork - things evolved over time, but it's really good background on how things were framed:

Structured Data Across Wikimedia ("SDAW")
Later on, the grant funding was renewed, but this time on the more ambitiously scoped Structured Data Across Wikimedia (or "SDAW", pronounced "ess-dah") project. SDAW is the current workstream.

Likewise, things evolve over the time, but also read the original grant application for this workstream, too:

The Structured Data team supports a number of MediaWiki extensions and backing services and frontend components for Wikimedia Commons, and that maintenance and bugfixing will continue to be needed.

Phabricator 2FA

 * 1) Sign in to Phabricator account.
 * 2) Once signed in, go to your account's settings page from the top menu and select "Multi-factor Auth" from the "Authentication" section in the panel on the left side of the screen. Direct link: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/multifactor/
 * 3) If you see "Mobile App (TOTP) already listed there and the ability to "remove" it, you are ahead of the game as it means that you already have already set up your 2FA. You can always add another type/app but you don't have to.
 * 4) If you don't see "Mobile App (TOTP) already listed there, click "Add Auth Factor".
 * 5) There is only one option available (Mobile App (TOTP)) so press continue. (If you don't have a 2FA app you use yet (though you likely do already if you use 2FA on other platforms and accounts) you should get one. Authy is a good option as it has an easy interface and it lets you make an encrypted backup but there are a number of options, including the old standard google authenticator. FreeOTP is an open source option as well.)
 * 6) You will be presented a large QR code, depending on your app you will want to add a new site and you can either scan this or type in the "key" that is presented.
 * 7) It will then ask you to type in one of the codes you generate to verify that it's all working correctly.
 * 8) Press continue and you're set!
