WMF Labs

Hi Petrb. I remember that awhile ago, you advertised the Wikimedia Labs project on the en.wikipedia adminstrator's noticeboard. Is it still possible to obtain an account on labs? I left a message for Ryan Lane here, but it doesn't look like he has been very active on this wiki. FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:26, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello, if you can access irc, please join #wikimedia-labs and type !accountreq in case you can't, please send him a mail, you can use interface of this wiki, to do that Petrb 22:21, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Ryan just set me up with an account. If it's not too much trouble, and when you have time, could you do me one more favor? Could you set up a bot instance (or add me to) for me with the java virtual machine and java development kit installed? Thanks! FASTILY ^(TALK) 02:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello bots-3 and bots-5 is perfect for you, just type ssh bots-N to get access there.

Please keep in mind that bots-1 - and bots-2 are heavily loaded now Petrb 10:07, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Enwiki RFC related to bugzilla:35947

Hello. I've opened an RFC at en:User talk:Jasper Deng/IPv6 that mentions that bug. Jasper Deng (talk) 02:21, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Are you sure we need a RfC for that? I am pretty sure we don't Petrb (talk) 14:05, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Also Labs is not a part of english wiki Petrb (talk) 14:05, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Nah, even if Labs isn't part of enwiki there are things like Huggle, Twinkle, and Stiki that need testing. Jasper Deng (talk) 17:04, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello

i want to change my username. could you proceed it? Україна (talk) 17:27, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Why do you make a disconnect form SUL and why didnt you change my username globaly? Україна (talk) 01:03, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

He can't. You must do this on all wikis, sorry :'(. Extension:CentralAuth does not support global renames. Jasper Deng (talk) 01:39, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Extension:MultiUpload

Hi Petr!

The Extension:MultiUpload page says that you've taken over maintenance of that extension from Tderouin, who has abandoned it. I'm very unclear how this process works, and I'm confused. I applied a while back to maintain this extension, and successfully had a git repo created for that, so I thought I was the maintainer, though I haven't made time to work on it yet.

My intention was to check in a completely new piece of code in place of the existing extension, since I've written a new MultiUpload interface as part of a different project. Here's a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d90Tt5EGAc

Do you want to do something different with MultiUpload? Would it be better for me to create a new, separate extension and leave MultiUpload to you?

Thanks! Wonder (talk) 01:27, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't see this message, you can do whatever you want with that extension, you can even become the maintainer if you wish. Petrb (talk) 10:11, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Search fail

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. For never searching before asking, and for making people who help you feel miserable, free money time machines forced to give you summaries or clickable links to documentation. If spending 30 more seconds to consume some advice you received looks a huge effort to you, why demand others to undergo it?

An important message about renaming users

Dear User talk:Petrb/An important message about renaming users,

I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.

As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.

Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.

The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.

Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.

In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.

Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

API:RecentChanges

Your recent page move from API:Recentchanges to API:RecentChanges breaks the convention of other pages. We're not using the internal name, as far as I know, we're using the command. Take, for example, API:Usercontribs, which is not only lower-case, but if we were using the internal name, would actually just be "Contributions" once you strip off the "ApiQuery". Or were you referring to a different internal name that I'm not thinking of? – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 15:02, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Outreachy Round 15: Interested in becoming a mentor / featuring a project?

I'm contacting you, as your project is featured on the New Developers page! :) Would you be interested in mentoring a project in the Outreachy Round 15? If so, here is what you might be interested in learning about:

Want to contribute to Huggle as a developer.

Hello Peter,

I want to contribute to this project but have some queries how do I start also are good first task are good, can you provide your email. Pragya007 (talk) 12:44, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Great to hear it! We are in need for active developers like never before. First step is definitely to get yourself more familiar with Huggle itself. That means install it and use it. Maybe you figure out it's not as cool project as you anticipated. Here is the landing page for users: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle . Once you are familiar with Huggle, then here is the phabricator list of open tasks https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/qCXs.CiDoJGl/ and here is the repository with code itself: https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx before you start working on coding, you will need to setup your developer environment so that you are actually able to compile Huggle. Our developer wiki is your friend:

• https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx/wiki/Developer-guide
• https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx/wiki/Portable-development-environment

Let me know if you have any other questions! I am also on IRC #huggle on freenode but, I am only randomly online. Petrb (talk) 13:06, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Okay no problem. I am in the way to clone the repo and work on it currently working on the requirements, if I am not landed on wrong page then here it is: https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx/wiki/Building-on-Windows

Very happy to hear that I am at my place of interest now. I will let you know when I am ready with my ideas.

Thank you Pragya007 (talk) 14:46, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

OK, keep in mind that Windows is most "hostile" environment out here for this developer environment setup, so it may be a bit of struggle to get it to compile there. You will need Visual Studio (community edition is enough), CMake, and Qt5 with WebEngine installed. Getting it to compile on Windows requires advanced knowledge of C++ and MSVC compiler suite. If you don't have that I would recommend to work in Linux VirtualBox instead, as that's much easier to setup. Petrb (talk) 14:54, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

I have worked on visual studio, CMake and Qt5. Okay I'll try to compile it on windows if failed then will switch to Linux VirtualBox. Pragya007 (talk) 15:20, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Your advanced permissions on mediawiki

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for 2 years) on this wiki. Since this wiki, to the best of our knowledge, does not have its own rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your advanced permissions, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. A community notice about this process has been also posted on the local Village Pump of this wiki. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at the m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights.

If you wish to resign your rights, please request removal of your rights on Meta.

If there is no response at all after one month, stewards will proceed to remove your administrator and/or bureaucrat rights. In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact the stewards.

Yours faithfully. Superpes15 (talk) 18:36, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
