A_smart_kitten added a comment to T226738: WebAuthn not running correct tests automatically.

Thought it best to ask :D some bug reports still remain an issue after that amount of time, others end up solved in another way outside the context of a given phabricator task

@Reedy is this still an issue with WebAuthn? Spot-checking a few patches from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/q/project:mediawiki/extensions/WebAuthn, quibble-vendor-mysql-php74-[no]selenium tests now appear to be being run for new patches, but I may be missing something here :)

A_smart_kitten added a comment to T395112: History merges appearing twice in non-page-specific log entry lists is confusing.

True, but (from what I can see) I don't think there is a histmerge bug here — the two log events seem to be expected behaviour as a result of T118132. I guess I was thinking that this ticket would be reframed to be about the move-logs bug only, but no objections to splitting out the move bug to another task :)

A_smart_kitten added a comment to T395112: History merges appearing twice in non-page-specific log entry lists is confusing.

Regarding the history-merging log entries, I believe that's because of T118132: Merging pages should add a log entry to the destination page; and (if I understand correctly) the reason it's in English is because the patch that contains the German translation (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1148205/1/languages/i18n/de.json#3674) hasn't been rolled out to WMF wikis yet (but should be on course to be deployed with next week's deployment train).

A_smart_kitten added a comment to T341555: Implement periodic maintenance scripts for mw-on-k8s.

Thank you for the detailed response @Clement_Goubert!

As far as duplicates go, as long as the name of the task isn't changed, and it is not closed, a single task with the title MediaWikiCronJobFailed is created by component, and future firings jobs in the same component are added to the task description.

Thanks for the note -- on this occasion, I only realised this after having already changed one of the tasks' titles to be more informative! (xref T392441#10762663)
It'd be slightly nicer from a quality-of-life perspective if the software behind @phaultfinder was smart enough to know/keep track of the tasks that it's filed; but hey, I guess we have to deal with what we've got :)

I've changed alerting to include the CronJob name in the task title for most alerts.

[...]

(As a side note, should these cron-job-failure tasks be tagged with Wikimedia-production-error?)

They probably should be, it would increase the chances for the unstewarded ones of someone with logstash access seeing them and adding information, and I think it also makes sense in general.

Thanks for the confirmation! :)
Would it be possible to configure the software behind @phaultfinder to automatically add the Wikimedia-production-error tag to these types of tasks (at least, in components that don't have an active steward), so that it doesn't rely on a human noticing the task & doing so themselves?

That's now done for every unstewarded task alert.

[...]

worse yet, there is an undisputable bug in the implementation of this (bad/wrong) feature:
even though the changes in hidden cats are not shown, they _are_ counted against the "show XXX last changes" selection.
IOW, if i choose to display 100 latest changes and show changes in categories, and it so happen that the 100 most recent changes in my watchlist are all additions/removals of pages from some hidden cat (something that can easily happen in real life, e.g. when using a tool like cat-a-lot, or making some change in a template which adds or removes large number of pages from some maintenance hidden category), the watchlist will show empty: those 100 "filtered out" changes push out all the other changes from the watchlist.

A_smart_kitten added a project to T305969: Code stewardship review: SecurePoll: Trust and Safety Product Team.

Can this be closed as resolved now that Trust and Safety Product Team is stewarding SecurePoll? (xref https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Developers/Maintainers&diff=prev&oldid=6902363)
(I assume that the discussions which led to that decision may have occurred outside the context of this task)

A_smart_kitten added a comment to T394111: Update release-branch CREDITS prior to next MediaWiki maintenance/security releases.

I imagine the number of people that have patches only in REL1_ branches by backport is slim, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't cater for it.

A_smart_kitten added a project to T309660: VisualEditor not working under fresh install of mediawiki-1.37.2 when HTTP is not enabled: TestMe.

Given @cscott's comment above, is this reproducible/does this issue occur with any versions of MediaWiki later than 1.38? If not, should this be closed as 'declined' given that MW 1.37/1.38 are no longer in support?

A_smart_kitten updated subscribers of T393806: Wikibase breaks desktop search on default patchdemo installs.

Yeah, kinda agreed with @Jdforrester-WMF here. In addition, as the proposed patch would modify the default behaviour of the Wikibase extension, it might potentially merit more discussion than has taken place so far (but to be fair, that'd presumably be up to the Wikibase maintainers).

A_smart_kitten added a project to T394111: Update release-branch CREDITS prior to next MediaWiki maintenance/security releases: MediaWiki-Engineering.

@Reedy ccing you on this task as you're involved with the maintenance/security releases; and also tagging MediaWiki-Engineering for your thoughts, given that (if I understand correctly) MWE currently oversees the overall MediaWiki releasing process. (as a side note, is MWE's stewardship(?) of the release process documented anywhere/should it be documented anywhere?)
