 * Workshops:
 * Wikidata [fri 13:30]
 * Lua/Scribuntu [fri 14:30]
 * learn how to use Vagrant [sat 9:30]

 * Get my Gerrit patchsets merged / clear my review queue


 * 42964 - Add support for more types of Flickr URLs to UploadWizard


 * How to use the API + JS to make edits without reloading the page. See HotCat and Cat-a-lot for inspiration, and make a minimal working example.


 * 29488 - Make pages accessed from special:random display a redirect notice. Most useful for when a custom random link --e.g. Special:Random/talk-- is followed.
 * Redirected files don't show the "redirected from" line


 * Primerpedia


 * Questions:
 * Why does Special:Blocklist's wpOptions url parameter use []? That makes linking to it in wikitext not work correctly.
 * "Mark as patrolled" refers to a revision, right? I so, it shouldn't say "mark this page as patrolled"
 * What's the difference between MediaWiki:Sitesubtitle (seems to be only used in the CologneBlue skin), MediaWiki:Tagline and $wgExtraSubtitle (seems to only be used in SkinLegacy.php)? This section might have some insights.
 * Why doesn't Special:WhatLinksHere display entries in alphabetical order?
 * Why is Media: a virtual namespace rather than a parser function?
 * Is it possible to change the url when following a redirect? what are the drawbacks? cache invalidation? reload (new http request)?
 * would it be possible to enable transclusion of Special:Random?


 * Maybe:
 * Flesh out Documentation organization proposal
 * Finish skin migration


 * Pick stuff from my list of bugs to attack
