This file format originally didn't have a name and was just part of MediaWiki core. In 2012, a second implementation was created by jQuery.i18n, as part of Project Milkshake. [1][2] In 2014, when James worked on creating a Grunt.js-based validator for these files, we retroactively named the format "Banana" (in line with the Milkshake theme), and the validator "Banana-checker". -- Krinkle [1] https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.i18n#readme [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Milkshake [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lint_(software) ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

[Wikitech-l] 3D model support coming soon to Commons
Hello! Just a quick note to let you all know that support for 3D models is coming to Commons! [0] The plan is to have the feature enabled by the end of November. There are a few technical items left to address. The feature will support the STL file format, one of the most common file formats for 3D models. [1] You can see an example of how a 3D model will appear on the test wiki. [2] (.gif) [3] This feature has been discussed in the Wikimedia community for a long time. Most recently the feature was #11 on the 2015 Community Tech Wishlist and was previously discussed on Commons in April as development progressed. [4] [5] There will be a blog post on the Wikimedia Blog once the feature is enabled. You can read more about the technical details of the feature and the help documentation on MediaWiki.org.

Not exactly the same, but worth mentioning, there's an npm package for grunt that was developed originally in the VE team and is used in some of our repos that's being used in some of our repos called grunt-tyops https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-tyops I don't think it can work on the commit message, but it might be a good place to start or get inspiration from :) (Also, it's a great package to use in JS-heavy extensions in general) On Tue, Nov 7, 2017 at 12:28 PM, zppix e wrote: > I would be more than willing to help, keyword help, compile a common typo > list.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Important news about the November dumps run!
There are no problems that I see. We did get started a couple days late for this run due to the move to an internal server, but I see all jobs running fine. The frwiki page-articles dumps have not yet run; enwiki and wikidatawiki are in progress; eswiki, itwiki, jawiki, and zhwiki are busy writing pages-articles right now, etc. Just give it another couple of days :-) Ariel On Tue, Nov 7, 2017 at 7:28 PM, Nicolas Vervelle wrote: > Hi, > > Are there problems with some dumps like frwiki with the new system ? > On your.org mirror, important files like page-articles are still missing > from the 20171103 dump directory, when usually it only takes a day... > > Nico > > On Mon, Nov 6, 2017 at 8:01 PM, Ariel Glenn WMF > wrote: > > > Rsync of xml/sql dumps to the web server is now running on a rolling > basis > > via a script, so you should see updates regularly rather than "every > > $random hours".

Debian's lintian (lint tool for packages) has a check for common typos/misspellings in its informational mode. The package ships with /usr/bin/spellintian which is a simple spellchecker that can run independently. The benefit of using spellintian over e.g. aspell is that it addresses the issues you already identified: a) it just identifies typos, not complaining on unknown words it doesn't know, b) it's been created from observing typos in source code and package descriptions in the wild, so it's tailored to technical jargon and their misspellings. It could be a good fit to git commit messages. That doesn't mean it's free of false positives though, so I wouldn't recommend to use it in a voting check in a CI pipeline.

I would like to avoid that :) We could probably add checks for some common ones if someone compiled a list.
