Bug management/Triage/20130318



Starting on March 18, 2013 and all week long with a dedicated session on March 19, we're cleaning up the bug reports about Extension:LiquidThreads.

LiquidThreads bug reports
What: Bug Triage of LiquidThreads reports - see the full list of reports. We will be focusing on cleaning up, improving the quality of these reports, and retesting some of them on mediawiki.org or test2.wikipedia.org.

When: Week of March 18, 2013, with a dedicated Bug Day on March 19 from 15:00 UTC until 21:00 UTC. This is an ongoing activity: you can arrive / leave at any time.

Where: IRC channel. After joining on IRC, say Hello Bug Squad!. Look for users  and. We will welcome you with instructions and help. Our progress is documented in the Bug Day Etherpad.
 * Over 60 bug reports come from translatewiki.net. You're welcome to use it for testing (it runs last code in master); due to some of the bugs, some actions are restricted to translators, so follow the FirstSteps wizard to ask the right.

Who: Anyone who is interested, including you!

Why: The idea came up on the wikitech-l mailing list. While LiquidThreads is not actively developed anymore it is still popular and deployed in many places.

This is a weekly QA activity organized by the Bug Squad team. Join us!

 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22800
 * Both testcases not available anymore, hence unclear what to repair/workaround here. Asked for more info.
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41276
 * Filed as enhancement requests but it could even be a major bug. Is LQT supposed to get along with other extensions? I guess it's just good policy. Changing as Normal for starters and let's see what is the feedback.
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26383
 * Nikerabbit: re that bug: we disabled all anon editings a while ago/ so I have no idea whether the bug still exists
 * Adding testme keyword
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24646
 * cannot reproduce on test2.wp, plus the testcase does not exist anymore. So I'll ask the bug reporter how I could check if this is still a problem and leave it like that.
