[Wikitech-l] MediaWiki-Vagrant is going Trusty

[Ori Livneh]

I'm writing to communicate an upcoming major change in MediaWiki-Vagrant.
In the coming week, I'm going to upgrade the base image from Precise
Pangolin to Trusty Tahr, the latest version from Canonical. Trusty
integrates many new open-source software components, many of them
specifically targeting cloud and virtual environments. You can read more
about the release in the release announcement and the release notes:

http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2014/04/17/ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr-released/
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes

This change to MediaWiki-Vagrant anticipates a migration of Wikimedia's
application server stack from Precise to Trusty, the groundwork for which
is already well underway. (Wikimedia's TechOps team, substantially assisted
by volunteer contributors, has completed a migration to Puppet 3, and has
made a Trusty image available on Labs).

I hope to keep the migration painless so as to not disrupt the work of
those of you who use this stack as your primary development environment.
The fact that a similar migration process is underway for Wikimedia's
production infrastructure will, I hope, foster increased collaboration
across Wikimedia and the broader developer community.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Logging edit lifecycle events

[Chris McMahon]

Any logging you could add for this issue would be welcome:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65709

We've been seeing it for some time, where the user is sometimes logged out
unexpectedly when using VE in beta labs.  It happens a lot in automated
browser tests, and it happens to both Rummana and me occasionally when
editing manually, and we have reason to suspect it might happen in
production sometimes also.

[Wikitech-l] Logging edit lifecycle events

Hi VE team,
I heard a rumor that there is a new focus on logging edit events to track
the overall session trajectory and other stuff.  If it's helpful, I've been
working on that as well, here are my notes and attempts to implement,
hopefully it is complementary to whatever you've done so far:

Re: [Wikitech-l] Background color

[Jeffrey Barish]

I am using English Wikipedia.

This problem is strange indeed.  I am beginning to wonder whether something 
changed in webkit that is preventing it from responding to the request to 
change the background color.  I think that webkit is used pretty widely, 
though, so that theory seems unlikely.

Actually, I'd guess that your application is adding some CSS 
somewhere, one way or another (webkit is a complex beast). I 
recommend you enable the webkit inspector to investigate which rules 
are being applied, and how. The inspector only takes a few lines of 
code to add to your application.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Background color

[Ryan Kaldari]

I'm pretty sure that no body CSS in core has changed recently. According to
Firebug, the only background-color rule that is applied to body on en.wiki
is the one that Isarra mentioned (which doesn't use !important). Are you
trying this on English Wikipedia or a different wiki?

I tried reducing the style sheet to the three lines

body {
background-color: rgb(68, 68, 68) !important;
}

Doesn't work.  When I modify the second line to be

color: rgb(204, 204, 204) !important;

the text color changes, as expected.  Since there is nothing else in my style 
sheet, I conclude that the problem is not interference from a more specific 
rule of my own, but the theory was certainly worth testing.

Ryan,

Thanks for your reply.  It is certainly interesting to know that someone is
able to get something related to work, although I don't really understand what
it is you did.  The lines of css that I provided still do not work for me.
Perhaps it would help for me to provide a little more information about what I
am doing as it most likely is different from what you tried.

I am viewing Wikipedia pages using webkit in an application that I wrote.  I
attach my style sheet by specifying user_stylesheet_uri.  I know that webkit
is reading my css because I could set the background color until 2 days ago
and because I can still set the text color.  I am guessing that a css upstream
is now specifying the background color using !important so that my
specification no longer takes effect.  If so, then that specification is new
because mine used to work.  I don't understand how Wikipedia (or css, for that
matter) works well enough to guess where that change might have been made or
why.  However, if my theory is correct, then I don't see how you are able to
change the background color, unless the change that you made somehow is
upstream from the hypothetical specification of background color using
!important.

Kaldari used an !important, but I tried it just now without it and the 
background colour change still worked  - is it possible you have some 
other, more specific rule somewhere overriding the colour? The only 
thing I found in the mw source css was a generic body selector without 
anything special (body { background-color: #F6F6F6; }), but if that's 
overridden elsewhere it would cause problems.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Background color

[Ryan Kaldari]

Works for me. I added the background-color rule to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kaldari/vector.css and it took effect
immediately.

[Wikitech-l] Background color

[Jeffrey Barish]

Until two days ago, I was able to modify the background color of a Wikipedia 
page with a style sheet containing the following:

body {
background-color: rgb(68, 68, 68) !important;
color: rgb(204, 204, 204) !important;
}

The line for color still works, but the line for background-color does not.  
Does anyone know what changed and what I have to do now to change the 
background color?

If this is not the right mailing list for this question, could someone 
direct me to the right one?

Thanks.

Hello,

I would like us to have our own instance of Google Code-in to list tasks
that could be fulfilled by volunteers.  Kind of the +easy bugs we have
in Bugzilla but with a nicer interface that only has those tasks.

I would totally use such interface to request documentations updates,
code reformatting, simple command line utilities and so on.  Maybe we
can figure out a way to have them filled in Phabricator.

For the bounty system, a task could be attached some kind of scores that
would provides folks a bounty in an OpenBadges system.


I could totally imagine granting points for CSS edits, a test being
proposed or have the ability to grant badges/rewards to folks proposing
patches.  I often mail folks when they do their first Jenkins job
addition or create a new test in MediaWiki core.


Doesn't WMF has a plan to provide badges in MediaWiki itself? Kind of
Wikiloves which let you distribute barn pages on talk pages but a bit
more robust?

[Wikitech-l] Need review: bug 60077 "CSSMin url() value remapping not working in certain obscure cases"

[Stephan Gambke]

Hi,

I would appreciate if somebody could have a look at
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/139268

This is the second patch on a bug on CSSMin url() value remapping.
Remapping was thrown off if the CSS contained comments containing
curly braces. The fix just replaces all comments (except embed
directives) with placeholders and re-inserts them after the url()
value remapping.

The first patch (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/138286/) had to be
reverted. It involved fixing the regex used for the url() remapping
directly and would have worked, too, only the rule became too
complicated, so preg_replace bailed out on large chunks of CSS.

So, anybody up to it?

Cheers,
Stephan

Eons ago, we had a couple security experts that paid us a visit to the
then very young #mediawiki .

They were willing to help us by auditing the code security and already
found a pretty nasty bug that could be a vector of attacks for other
