[Wikitech-l] Full name in Gerrit
Can I change the full name in Gerrit somehow? I don't like the fact that when I merge something in gerrit my commits have "JGonera" as an author instead of "Juliusz Gonera". Juliusz ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

We're still not on 2.5. Thanks, it's not that important. I was just wondering if there's an easy way to fix it.

[Wikitech-l] Wikidata change propogation
Hi folks, One item that comes up pretty frequently in our regular conversations with the Wikidata folks is the question of how change propagation should work. This email is largely directed at the relevant folks in WMF's Ops and Platform Eng groups (and obviously, also the Wikidata team), but I'm erring on the side of distributing too widely rather than too narrowly. I originally asked Daniel to send this (earlier today my time, which was late in his day), but decided that even though I'm not going to be as good at describing the technical details (and I'm hoping he chimes in), I know a lot better what I was asking for, so I should just write it. The spec is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/Change_propagation#Dispatching_Changes The thing that isn't covered here is how it works today, which I'll try to quickly sum up. Basically, it's a single cron job, running on hume[1]. So, that means that when a change is made on wikidata.org, one has to wait for this job to get around to running before the item. It'd be good for someone from the Wikidata team to We've declared that Good Enough(tm) for now, where "now" is the period of time where we'll be running the Wikidata client on a small number of wikis (currently test2, soon Hungarian Wikipedia). The problem is that we don't have a good plan for a permanent solution nailed down. It feels like we should make this work with the job queue, but the worry is that once Wikidata clients are on every single wiki, we're going to basically generate hundreds of jobs (one per wiki) for every change made on the central wikidata.org wiki. Guidance on what a permanent solution should look like? If you'd like to wait for Daniel to clarify some of the tech details before answering, that's fine.

But for English Wikipedia, that is not how the approval process (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BOTAPPROVAL) works: "Small changes, for example to fix problems or improve the operation of a particular task, are unlikely to be an issue, but larger changes should not be implemented without some discussion. Completely new tasks usually require a separate approval request. Bot operators may wish to create a separate bot account for each task." That is what the rules say, but do you have any science to back up that this is also how it works in practice? How many bot accounts are revoked each month because their owners were naughty and used their bots in a different manner from what they applied for? The idea with a bot account, after all, is that nobody bothers to watch your edits in the Recent Changes. I think you can go forward if you accept that there are some bots that run like a machinery, according to the rules, and other bot accounts that are used like a more advanced browser for a creative and spontaneous user. -- Lars Aronsson (l...@aronsson.se) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

That *is* how it works in practice. Bots get blocked for running unapproved tasks. Most contributors may not watch bots' edits in the Recent Changes, but they do notice when their articles are edited. Approved tasks aren't typically revoked, as that usually would be punitive and unnecessary, but it does happen; for an example of all approved tasks for a bot being revoked due to inappropriate and unapproved tasks, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Bot_Approvals_Group/Archive_8#Kumi-Taskbot. > I think you can go forward if you accept that there are > some bots that run like a machinery, according to the > rules, and other bot accounts that are used like a more > advanced browser for a creative and spontaneous user. Bots are *not* advanced browsers and they're not treated as such by enwiki's bot policy. That's what AWB (hence the name) and gadgets are for. The BAG has granted some broad approvals in the past, but I think you'll find that's pretty rare these days. > -- > Lars Aronsson (l...@aronsson.se) > Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se -madman ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

What I meant to say was this: When a change is made on wikidata.org with the intent of updating an arbitrary wiki (say, Hungarian Wikipedia), one has to wait for this single job to get around to running the update on whatever wikis are in line prior to Hungarian WP before it gets around to updating that wiki, which could be hundreds of wikis. That isn't *such* a big deal, because the alternative is to purge the page, which will also work. Another problem is that this is running on a specific, named machine. This will likely get to be a big enough job that one machine won't be enough, and we'll need to scale this up. It would be good for Daniel or someone else from the Wikidata team to chime in to verify I'm characterizing the problem correctly.
