As I understand, wikipedia.org still technically works as a domain for
email, mostly as a holdover from the really old days (I'm talking like
2003). So I think the most likely explanation here is that this field was
never updated and there was never a reason to if the address still
technically works.

Still it can be set to something (variable was not depracated if I
understand the page correctly) and potentionally be used by some extensions
and/or futher versions of core.

And if the value wasn't depracated, it should be set to working real email
address. If it is depracated, it should be removed. No matter what is true,
something should be done.

Note that I don't know if n...@wikipedia.org is valid contact. I did not try
send a mail to it - as it is "emergency contact" according to the settings,
I don't want to spam if it is working (and it can be, as there are mx
records).

The question I'm raising is if we accept mail on wikipedia.org and if we
do, why we use wikipedia.org instead of wikimedia.org which is more
frequent domain for mail and which will make more sense for global setting
applicable to literally all projects WMF run.

[Wikitech-l] Machine-utilizable Crowdsourced Lexicons

2018-05-29 Thread Adam Sobieski
INTRODUCTION

Machine-utilizable lexicons can enhance a great number of speech and natural 
language technologies. Scientists, engineers and technologists – linguists, 
computational linguists and artificial intelligence researchers – eagerly await 
the advancement of machine lexicons which include rich, structured metadata and 
machine-utilizable definitions.

Wiktionary, a collaborative project to produce a free-content multilingual 
dictionary, aims to describe all words of all languages using definitions and 
descriptions. The Wiktionary project, brought online in 2002, includes 139 
spoken languages and American sign language [1].

This letter hopes to inspire exploration into and discussion regarding machine 
wiktionaries, machine-utilizable crowdsourced lexicons, and services which 
could exist at https://machine.wiktionary.org/ .

LEXICON EDITIONING

The premise of editioning is that one version of the resource can be more or 
less frozen, e.g. a 2018 edition, while wiki editors collaboratively work on a 
next version, e.g. a 2019 edition. Editioning can provide stability for complex 
software engineering scenarios utilizing an online resource. Some software 
engineering teams, however, may choose to utilize fresh dumps or data exports 
of the freshest edition.

SEMANTIC WEB

A machine-utilizable lexicon could include a semantic model of its contents and 
a SPARQL endpoint.

MACHINE-UTILIZABLE DEFINITIONS

Machine-utilizable definitions, available in a number of knowledge 
representation formats, can be granular, detailed and nuanced.

There exist a large number of use cases for machine-utilizable definitions. One 
use case is providing natural language processing components with the 
capabilities to semantically interpret natural language, to utilize automated 
reasoning to disambiguate lexemes, phrases and sentences in contexts. Some 
contend that the best output after a natural language processing component 
processes a portion of natural language is each possible interpretation, 
perhaps weighted via statistics. In this way, (1) natural language processing 
components could process ambiguous language, (2) other components, e.g. 
automated reasoning components, could narrow sets of hypotheses utilizing 
dialogue contexts, (3) other components, e.g. automated reasoning components, 
could narrow sets of hypotheses utilizing knowledgebase content, and (4) 
mixed-initiative dialogue systems could also ask users questions to narrow sets 
of hypotheses. Such disambiguation and interpretation would utilize 
machine-utilizable definitions of senses of lexemes.

CONJUGATION, DECLENSION AND THE URL-BASED SPECIFICATION OF LEXEMES AND LEXICAL 
PHRASES

A grammatical category [2] is a property of items within the grammar of a 
language; it has a number of possible values, sometimes called grammemes, which 
are normally mutually exclusive within a given category. Verb conjugation, for 
example, may be affected by the grammatical categories of: person, number, 
gender, tense, aspect, mood, voice, case, possession, definiteness, politeness, 
causativity, clusivity, interrogativity, transitivity, valency, polarity, 
telicity, volition, mirativity, evidentiality, animacy, associativity, 
pluractionality, reciprocity, agreement, polypersonal agreement, incorporation, 
noun class, noun classifiers, and verb classifiers in some languages [3].

By combining the grammatical categories from each and every language together, 
we can precisely specify a conjugation or declension. For example, the URL:

https://machine.wiktionary.org/wiki/lookup.php?edition=2018=en-US=fly=verb=first-person=singular=past=past_simple=indicative&…

includes an edition, a language of a lemma, a lemma, a lexical category, and 
conjugates (with ellipses) the verb in a language-independent manner.

We can further specify, via URL query string, the semantic sense of a 
grammatical element:

https://machine.wiktionary.org/wiki/lookup.php?edition=2018=en-US=fly=verb=first-person=singular=past=past_simple=indicative&...=4

Specifying a grammatical item fully in a URL query string, as indicated in the 
previous examples, could result in a redirection to another URL.

That is, the URL:

https://machine.wiktionary.org/wiki/lookup.php?edition=2018=en-US=fly=verb=first-person=singular=past=past_simple=indicative&…

could redirect to:

https://machine.wiktionary.org/wiki/index.php?edition=2018=12345678

or to:

https://machine.wiktionary.org/wiki/2018/12345678/

and the URL with a specified semantic sense:

https://machine.wiktionary.org/wiki/lookup.php?edition=2018=en-US=fly=verb=first-person=singular=past=past_simple=indicative&...=4

could redirect to:

https://machine.wiktionary.org/wiki/index.php?edition=2018=12345678=4

or to:

https://machine.wiktionary.org/wiki/2018/12345678/4/

The URL https://machine.wiktionary.org/wiki/2018/12345678/ is intended to 
indicate a conjugation or declension with one or more meanings or senses. The 
URL

[Wikitech-l] Wednesday: Technical Advice IRC Meeting

2018-05-29 Thread Michael Schönitzer
Sorry for cross-posting!

Reminder: Technical Advice IRC meeting again **tomorrow, Wednesday 3-4 pm
UTC** on #wikimedia-tech.

The Technical Advice IRC meeting is open for all volunteer developers,
topics and questions. This can be anything from "how to get started" over
"who would be the best contact for X" to specific questions on your project.

If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your
topic to the next meeting:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting

Hope to see you there!
Michi (for WMDE’s tech team)

[Wikitech-l] postgres support in CI

2018-05-29 Thread Antoine Musso
Hello,

Thanks to Kunal Mehta, CI now supports running MediaWiki tests using the
Postgres database!  It has been requested since 2012 ( T39602 ) and
finally came to fruition.

Unsurprisingly, a few tests are failing and require some assistance.
Anyone is welcome to help on that front. See T195807 for a list.


Please celebrate Kunal!
