Re: [Wikitech-l] The Damned Commons Image Deletion Cycle
To suggestion 2: It makes no difference at all for the discspace if a file gets deleted or not. Since you are always able to restore it it will stay on the server. Suggestion 3: Restore the file on en.wiki if it gets deleted on Commons... No coding needed at all. Huib On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 9:36 AM, George Herbert george.herb...@gmail.comwrote: I have just had to deal with this - AGAIN - and would like to rail for a moment, hoping to provoke discussion to promote change. I posit that this is big enough to deserve a Foundation-wide venue for initial discussion so am including Wikitech-L. Most of us are probably familiar with the cycle: Person A on en.wp (or, any project) uploads an image which is apparently public domain or free use by any reasonable standard. It gets put on article X. There is much rejoicing. Person B later thinks Oh, this is something other projects might use, and it's 'free', so... and uploads it to Commons. It then gets deleted at en.wp by a helpful bot. Person C on Commons later identifies that it fails to be an entirely free piece under the much-stricter Commons rules, due to some factor that A and B were unaware of. Person C nominates it for deletion there. Poof. Gone. Now, we have NO image, for something that is sufficiently legal under our rules and the law for use on en.wp (and likely, most of the rest of the projects). A delinker bot helpfully comes along and nukes references to the image off the pages that used to have it. Maintainers who miss the bot edit fail to notice that it's gone. Many months or years go along and finally someone notices, and either is an admin and restores the image on en.wp or finds an admin who restores it on en.wp. Now, for someone who sees images as an integral part of the total READERSHIP value we present, in terms of helping people understand things by drawing their attention and expressing ideas and history in a visual manner, the long periods where we've lost all image are mind-numbingly counter to our core mission. That we've evolved into this cycle due to bureaucratic friction does not make it acceptable. PROPOSED: This is not acceptable. Something must be done. SUGGESTED FIX #1: Create a parallel Uncommons project, for shared images which meet minimum project legal non-copyvio standards but do not meet the threshold Commons is insisting on (or we have defined Commons to be). This requires coding in the WMF to allow a parallel project as image source, and would require that Commons' deletion process be modified such that deletions for copyright niggles be a shift-to-Uncommons rather than an outright delete. SUGGESTED FIX #2: Stop deleting things from local projects when they're uploaded to commons. This requires additional diskspace from the Foundation (by some as-yet unknown amount). Ops team - Could you attempt to determine if this would be significant, troublesome, small enough to not be significant, etc? These are not the only two possible solutions, but they come to mind immediately (and have previously when I thought of this). Additional fix concepts solicited and welcomed. -- -george william herbert george.herb...@gmail.com ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l -- Met vriendelijke groet, Huib Laurens ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
Re: [Wikitech-l] The Damned Commons Image Deletion Cycle
Ehm, if a file gets deleted 16 months after the move there is still a log entry from the change in the history of the article right? But if CommonsDelinker should report a list of all deleted files on a wikipage people would be able to check them and restore the local versions when needed? Secondly we should also learn people what can and what can't be moved to Commons so we won't have the problem also.

Re: [Wikitech-l] The Damned Commons Image Deletion Cycle
The bot alters a page and alerts people about it on the watchlist. By just deleting the file it can take weeks before somebody even notice that there is something wrong.

[Wikitech-l] Missing pages after upgrade from 1.5 to 1.17
-- Forwarded message -- From: Polaris x...@northerndragons.ca Date: 2011/11/14 Subject: Trying to report a problem, not sure the right place To: wikitech-l-ow...@lists.wikimedia.org Subjects: Missing pages after upgrade from 1.5 to 1.17 Hi there, I have a 1.5 site, that I had to evacuate from my current host to a new hosting provider. I stood up the old version here: http://in4k.northerndragons.ca/. It's running on PHP: 5.2.17 (cgi-fcgi), and MySQL 5.1.39. I have tried to upgrade this site, using the following process. 1) Creating a replica of the site, by creating a new database / exporting the old one via PHPmyAdmin, and importing 2) Copying all the data over. 3) Modifying localsettings.php to have the right paths. 4) Validating my site is working as expected. This works. Then I drop the files for MediaWiki 1.17, and run the maintenance script upgrade.php (on the command line), which completes without errors. The problem is that, I'm missing pages after the upgrade. You can see it from my old site (just migrated) vs the 1.17 site: Most of the user pages are gone, and users for that matter too. Examples: Working old version: http://in4k.northerndragons.ca/index.php?title=User:alrj Missing new version: http://beta.in4k.northerndragons.ca/index.php?title=User:Alrj Says User account Alrj is not registered. Another: http://in4k.northerndragons.ca/index.php?title=User:auld Missing version: http://beta.in4k.northerndragons.ca/index.php?title=User:Auld User account Auld is not registered. What's really odd, is that this isn't true with all users. For example: http://in4k.northerndragons.ca/index.php?title=User:Blueberry and http://beta.in4k.northerndragons.ca/index.php?title=User:Blueberry Work in both. I'd greatly appreciate some help here, as I'm totally stumped.

[Wikitech-l] Another SVN error? (was: Re: [Ticket#2011091710005702] SVN Extension Access)
I have to say that I have the same expirance with the current process for requesting commit access. I currently have access to SVN, it was given to me 2 years ago by TimStarling. But i changed my key(s) but it didn't change for Wikimedia. So I requested Sumana to close my old account and give me a new account with a better name. This was her responds: Hi Huib, I apologize for the late response. After some discussion, we decided that the best way to proceed is for you to submit your proposed improvements as a patch in bugzilla.wikimedia.org, or make your extension public on mediawiki.org (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions). This gives us a much better idea of what your proposal is and makes it a lot easier to review. Sincerely, Priyanka Dhanda So I was already given access, but by error I lost the key and now got removed. I don't really think the current proces is helping to get more volunteers... Best, Huib Laurens 2011/11/5 Neil Kandalgaonkar ne...@wikimedia.org Olivier, I'm truly sorry you had such a negative experience. This is not an acceptable situation. We have an inconsistent process, and one which is a bit heavyweight when our resourcing for it is rather lightweight. I wish you had found the patience to assume good faith. There is no reason for accusations that we don't want good developers. Of course we *want* them. If we are failing to act like it, it wasn't a personal slam at you. And, if I may be forgiven for white-knighting, Sumana's job is to needle the rest of us so we don't forget about concerns like yours and she generally does it very well. And she did sound an apologetic note into the email she sent you. So IMO she's not the problem here. Why she played a game of telephone here is a bit of a mystery to me though -- maybe she just wanted to be sure that *someone* pinged you since it had been so long. IMO the developer who reviewed your code should have contacted you directly. I had a look at the module you wrote. I share some of the same concerns about scalability, but that's not really the issue. I have some experience with user-contributed module archives, having administered some shared community resources for Perl, Python, and so on. The cultural differences and relative successes were interesting. The Python people wanted to have a review process, and a GUI interface, and binary modules precompiled, and so on and so on, and their projects never really got off the ground. Perl's CPAN started off as a simple FTP site where almost anyone could upload code. Guess which one ultimately succeeded. The point is, IMO there's relatively little payoff for having *any* review process for modules. Just have a way to report and remove malware and be done with it. As long as it's clear that the Foundation doesn't endorse the software there, what is the problem? Maybe we can also have some kind of badge for reviewed or as seen on Wikipedia for the stuff we consider good enough to deploy on big sites. We already more or less do this -- for instance, there are modules by GSoC students that are clearly not ready for prime time, and they are marked accordingly.

We can't really do this without sending Vary: User-Agent, which would completely destroy our cache hit ratio. For people who use Squid with our X-Vary-Options patch, it would be possible to use a very long X-Vary-Options header to single out IE 6 requests, but not everyone has that patch. I'm really thinking more along the lines of: if someone's an IE 6-or-below user they have hundreds of other exploit vectors staring them in the face too, and we can't protect them against many of them -- or ANY of them if they're visiting other sites than just an up-to-date MediaWiki. The cost of this fix has been immense; several versions of the fix with varying levels of disruption on production sites, both for IE 6 users and non-IE 6 users, and several weeks of delay on the 1.17.0 release. I'd be willing to accept a few drive-by downloads for IE 6 users; it's not ideal but it's something that their antivirus tools etc will already be watching out for, that end-users already get trained to beware of, and that will probably *still* be exploitable on other web sites that they visit anyway. The main issue here is that we don't a wide variety of web servers set up for testing. We know that Apache lets you detect %2E versus dot via $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], but we don't know if any other web servers do that. Note that checking for %2E alone is not sufficient, a lot of installations (including Wikimedia) have an alias /wiki - /w/index.php which can be used to exploit action=raw. Well that should be fine; as long as we can see the /wiki?/foo.bat then we can identify that it doesn't contain an unencoded dot in the path. It sounds like simply checking REQUEST_URI when available would eliminate a huge portion of our false positives that affect real-world situations. Apache is still the default web server in most situations for most folks, and of course runs our own production servers. Are there any additional exploit vectors for API output other than HTML tags mixed unescaped into JSON? Yes, all other content types, as I said above. Only as drive-by downloads, or as things that execute without interaction? I think the current solution in trunk, plus the redirect idea that I've been discussing with Roan, is our best bet for now, unless someone wants to investigate $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. *nod* Checking REQUEST_URI is probably the first thing we should do when it's available. If there is an actual problem with ForeignAPIRepo then we can look at server-side special cases for it. But r89248 should allow all API requests that have a dotless value in their last GET parameter, and a quick review of ForeignAPIRepo in 1.16 and trunk indicates that it always sends such requests. Yay! That's one less thing to worry about. :D Since we're talking about discarded solutions for this, maybe it's worth noting that I also investigated using a Content-Disposition header. The vulnerability involves an incorrect cache filename, and it's possible to override the cache filename using a Content-Disposition filename parameter. The reason I gave up on it is because we already use Content-Disposition for wfStreamFile(): header( Content-Disposition: inline;filename*=utf-8'$wgLanguageCode' . urlencode( basename( $fname ) ) ); IE 6 doesn't understand the charset specification, so it ignores the header and goes back to detecting the extension.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Removing test suites from trunk
Hi! MediaWiki is famous because its almost supported in all languages that's something other wiki software don't have, lets not try to remove that. So I think the main bundle should be mediawiki with *all* languages. But a other option is to add a second download option where people can download mediawiki with only EN and make tarballs for all languages available so people can add the languages they want. Maybe something that can be done on a mirror site.

Then, if someone switches the wiki language to some obscure language, or does uselang=dfdjdkgj, or other activity that needs an obscure language, it would run a one-time download to the local filesystem.

I think it would be good to have that in the core so people know the auth is safe and up to date. We have a lot of extensions, most of them are already broken, or will be broken when 1.16 is released. And the extensions that still work are really bad, they don't let ano users edit, or they need to disable user registration.
