Anti-Harassment Tools team to work on generating data on testwiki

Hi y'all! As a heads up, the Anti-Harassment Tools team will work on generating a bunch of data on this wiki next week in preparation for some user tests to be done with the new Checkuser. The edits will be made from non-WMF accounts. Let me know if there are any concerns with that. @Krinkle and Amorymeltzer: Pinging you both as you are quite active on this wiki. Thanks. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 17:12, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up NKohli, will there be something distinctive about the new accounts? It might be worth giving the meta:Small Wiki Monitoring Team a note as well, in case some of it seems suspicious. Not sure anyone watches that talk page, though. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 18:17, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Amorymeltzer: Not really. We're trying to make them as inconspicuous as possible so the data doesn't bias our users when they see it. Rest assured, it won't be disruptive in any way. I will leave a note on meta:Small Wiki Monitoring Team like you suggest. Thanks! -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 20:54, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

spam filter will not let me through the door

I have copied over my wikiversity file and tried to paste it into User:Ottawahitech/covid but the local spam filter does not like it, even though the one at wikiverity has no problem with the exact same file. I seem to be going through this scenario every time I move my file from one wmf-site to the next, sigh...

This is the error msg I got:

Best practices when using Special:Import

Special:Import has several settings to choose from. What is the best combination to ensure both copyright attribution but also not filling user's accounts here with edits they didn't make? I've been erring on the side of the second one by not choosing things like "copy all the revisions for this page" and "assign edits to local users where the named user exists locally", but wanted to double check. Example. Please ping on reply. Thanks. Novem Linguae (talk) 13:40, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

@Novem Linguae: Technically, what you did with that example did not preserve enough attribution. Personally, I like when my edits are propagated.   — Jeff G. ツ 14:35, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

But they did make those edits. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:33, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback everyone. In the future I will import everything. If you feel it is needed, I can also delete or re-import all the stuff I already imported. Novem Linguae (talk) 09:02, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

I tried importing en:Template:Uw-islamhon1 today with all the boxes checked, and it times out after 1 minute. I imagine the child templates have too many revisions. I guess I'll have to do a less thorough import for at least some of my imports. However there is one good thing. In an importd page's history, it does say that it has been imported, and it gives a link back to the original page. Perhaps I can just add a "please see that page's history for attribution" edit summary. Novem Linguae (talk) 08:04, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

@Novem Linguae: I recommend a permalink for the then-current revision.   — Jeff G. ツ 08:23, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Additional testwiki user rights to sync up with enwiki

I'm thinking about filing a Phab ticket for the following, to bring us more in sync with enwiki. This would help with testing user scripts. I got the idea for this from seeing a comment at en:WP:US/R, where a user had to ask for multiple user rights on a different language wiki to test something, because the user rights were not available on testwiki.

See also testwiki:Special:UserGroupRights and w:Special:ListGroupRights.

• Reviewer
  • Change display name for "Reviewer" to "Pending changes reviewer"
  • Remove "stablesettings" right from "reviewer"
  • Add "stablesettings" right to "sysop"
  • Add rights "editsemiprotected", "autoreview", "review", "autoconfirmed" to "reviewer"
  • Make "reviewer" assignable by sysops (currently only assignable by bureaucrats)

Crossed out. FlaggedRevs is not installed, and there is a moratorium on installing it. Novem Linguae (talk) 08:55, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

• Patroller
  • Create "patroller" user group. This is for access to the PageTriage extension used in New Page Patrol. Currently only available to testwiki admins.
  • Display name should be "New page reviewer"
  • Should be assignable by sysop
  • Add "patrol" right to "patroller"
• Autoreviewer
  • Display name "Autopatrolled"
  • Should be assignable by sysop
  • Add "autopatrol" right to "autoreviewer"

Pending changes extension (aka mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs)

I just noticed that pending changes isn't installed for this wiki yet. So restructuring the "reviewer" right as described above would require installing it.

I see 350 people with the "reviewer" right granted, and I am guessing these folks were granted it with the intention of using mw:Help:Patrolled edits rather than mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs. So we may want to give some additional thought and discussion to the "reviewer" part of the above proposal. I think there is an argument to not change reviewer and leave it as is to minimize disruption, although I haven't decided yet. Feel free to weigh in. Ping active bureaucrat Xaosflux. Novem Linguae (talk) 20:29, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

General

So, enwiki is quite far from the "normal" when it comes to page triage/patrolling - testwiki is used by everyone from everywhere, so not sure it's a great idea to try to mirror some very specific extension settings if they are only in use on enwiki here. We prob have no need to put custom group lables in place, we get testers of all sorts of languages already. -- Xaosflux (foo/bar) talk 20:37, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

I once asked at m:Tech if this extension can be enabled for a (content) wiki, and here's the answer. Also, test2wiki: already has this extension. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh ^{Name me} 01:01, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Cf. m:Flagged Revisions#Enabling. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh ^{Name me} 01:07, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Sandbox: button 'Edit source code' initially does not show source code to edit

In the Welcome box of the [Sandbox] the info is confusing. It states: 'To edit this sandbox, you can either edit the source code ("Edit Source" tab above)'; when clicking that link the Visual editor is opened initially. Only after clicking the pencil button you can actually choose to edit the source code. Mill 1 (talk) 09:31, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

QTE will be running Selenium tests against testwiki this week

As part of the MediaWiki to Kubernetes migration, we will be running Selenium tests against testwiki. If all goes to plan, it should run in the next few days. It might have to be run a few times, as there will likely be failures the first few times it is run.

It will run as User:DWalden (WMF) (probably as a bot account). It will run as one of the test accounts in meta:Category:WMF_test_accounts: User:QTE-SeleniumTest2.

I plan to run the Selenium tests in the mediawiki core repository and most of the extensions (the same ones that run as "selenium-daily" on Jenkins https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/selenium-daily/).

See phab:T337489. DWalden (WMF) (talk) 06:31, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Correcting mistake above. My staff account has 2FA so cannot be used in Selenium tests. DWalden (WMF) (talk) 10:12, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Do you have a solution? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 12:51, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

I am using User:QTE-SeleniumTest2 instead. Most of the selenium tests do not require an admin user to run, so I am running them with a regular user instead. DWalden (WMF) (talk) 12:58, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Can I get User:DPLA bot unblocked? Obviously, the reason it was blocked over a year ago—for doing too much at once—is no longer an active concern, but I never followed up on getting the account unblocked. Thanks! Dominic (talk) 21:06, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

What do you plan on doing with the bot account? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:10, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Persistence of created pages on this test wiki

on this test wiki are the pages created by users, persistent ?

Add "patroller" as a testwiki user group?

Re-proposing this. This was discussed above at #Additional testwiki user rights to sync up with enwiki. Hoping to not get any objections this time. Can we get consensus here so I can create a phab ticket to add a "patroller" group to testwiki? This would reduce the number of temporary admins that need to apply at WP:PERM, then wait a month, just to get a temporary permission that needs to be renewed. There's been a couple lately (Chlod, Sohom Datta, MPGuy2824). I'd rather just use my testwiki admin to give these folks permanent patroller.

Note: Reviewer right already exists, but is something different.

• Patroller
  • Create "patroller" user group. This is for access to the mw:Extension:PageTriage extension, specifically the Page Curation toolbar. Currently only available to testwiki admins.
  • Display name should be "New page reviewer"
  • Should be assignable by sysop

Remove permission

Hi there, I don't really need to be a reviewer here on test wikipedia, and was wondering if someone could remove that for me? Much appreciated! Best, Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 05:53, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

It seems like currently neither administrators or bureaucrats have the ability to do this. Hence I asked at m:SRP. --Ameisenigel (talk) 09:37, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Indefed IP

Hi, I found that there are serval IP address being indefed. I don’t know why the IP are indef as IP address may transfer to new users. Do we actually need those indef blocks are they are just test blocks. If they are no longer needed, is it possible to unblock them? 165.86.81.101 08:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Agreed. They are all one year+, so I'll unblock. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:32, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Install Twinkle

How do I install Twinkle properly? The Gadgets page is really confusing. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 15:41, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

See w:en:Wikipedia:Twinkle#Use_on_other_wikis. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:53, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Sorry, I'll investigate. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:54, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I was going to install it globally at some point anyways. 😁 Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 16:09, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, it's not working. Take your time, I can always come back later. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 19:03, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Question

What are the ~2024-XXXX accounts? I see that some are used for testing and other are used for vandalism. I also noticed they are getting global blocks instead of global locks. Are they the new temporary IP accounts/IP Masking? Thanks. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 15:22, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Nevermind, I figured it out. ~2024-3731 is me Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 15:26, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
