I'm not familiar with bluejeans and maybe have missed a transition
because I wasn't paying enough attention. is this some kind of
experiment? have all meetings transitioned to this service?
anyway, my immediate question at the moment is how do you join without
sharing your microphone and camera?
am I correct thinking that this is an entirely proprietary stack
that's neither gratis nor libre and has no on-premise (not cloud)
hosting option? are we paying for this?

As of 950cf6016c, the mediawiki/core repo was updated to use DB_REPLICA
instead of DB_SLAVE, with the old constant left as an alias. This is part
of a string of commits that cleaned up the mixed use of "replica" and
"slave" by sticking to the former. Extensions have not been mass
converted. Please use the new constant in any new code.
The word "replica" is a bit more indicative of a broader range of DB
setups*, is used by a range of large companies**, and is more neutral in
connotations.
Drupal and Django made similar updates (even replacing the word "master"):
* https://www.drupal.org/node/2275877
* https://github.com/django/django/pull/2692/files &
https://github.com/django/django/commit/beec05686ccc3bee8461f9a5a02c607a023…
I don't plan on doing anything to DB_MASTER, since it seems fine by itself,
like "master copy", "master tape" or "master key". This is analogous to a
master RDBMs database. Even multi-master RDBMs systems tend to have a
stronger consistency than classic RDBMs slave servers, and present
themselves as one logical "master" or "authoritative" copy. Even in it's
personified form, a "master" database can readily be thought of as
analogous to "controller", "governer", "ruler", lead "officer", or such.**
* clusters using two-phase commit, galera using certification-based
replication, multi-master circular replication, ect...

> This is really a defective redesign. It reintroduced numeric IDs to be
removed by T114902. See also T179928. We should reconsider reintroduce a
new table to link unperfixed and perfixed entity ID.
The new schema has been optimized as much as possible to allow maximum
scalability as it will contain a massive amount of data that we hope it
doubles or even triple in size as soon as we can.
The ids changed here to integer as we have seperate tables at the top level
and prefixes in those tables are redundant and only take up redundant space
that accumulate to big amount very quickly.
The old `wb_terms`, as well as the new schema, are not actually design for
public use unless really necessary for your needs. If your needs can be
addressed via Wikidata available APIs, you are very much encourage to
switch to using those instead. In that case, you need not to worry about
migrations and schema changes ever.
> Also oppose any "partial migration for first XXX items" process in
T221765: this makes queries much more complicated. Please first fill all
data in the new schema, then discontinue the old table.
Full migration is not possible unfortunately due to the current capacity of
database master node.
We tried to find a trade-off between the overhead we introduce to both disk
usage and application logic complexity that will access those schemas.
This will make our life at Wikidata also a little less pleasant for the
migration period. We understand this is unusual migration and isn't a very
easy one for a little while, that's why we want to help out with those
queries and other inquiries as much as we can.
If you have some queries you are running on `wb_terms`, it would of great
help if you add them to a new Phab task on the Tool Builders migration
board, in the Backlog column.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/4014/
If you have any concrete suggestions regarding making this migration
easier, we would also love to hear them. Please go ahead and add them on
the same board in their own Phabricator tasks so that we can keep track of
things more easily and follow up on them as soon as possible.

Hello,
In Gerrit 2.16 PolyGerrit takes over the /p/ url so cloning no longer works over that URL. Please convert to using /r/.
/p/ is completely optional in Gerrit anyways so it's a matter of changing /r/p/ to just /r/ (you can update your config with the updated url by doing "sed -i -e 's/\/r\/p\//\/r\//' .git/config")
We have this task https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222093
We also have this task to update prod and WMCS. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222093
Hi,
Looking at
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/dashboard/l10n-bot@translatewiki.net, there
are pending translations to Toolforge tools which are failing due to false
positives? AFAIK, Raimond usually cleans such up for MW extensions but I'm
not sure for tools.
So please if anyone knows the maintainers of these tools, he/she can just
add them so they can review these translations and merge them? For a while
now, they've been stacking on each other.
Thanks!

Hey everybody,
This was already posted to Mediawiki-api-announce, x-posting here for
increased visibility as this change should be in production this week.
With the merge of Icb674095,[1] use of API action=logout will require
a CSRF token. This was considered a security issue, so the usual
deprecation process was not followed. See T25227[2] for details.
Clients that do not use a CSRF token with action=logout will receive a
badtoken error message ***and will not be logged out***.
This change should be deployed to Wikimedia wikis with 1.34.0-wmf.3.
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.34/Roadmap for a
schedule.
Overall client impact is expected to be relatively low, as gathered
statistics indicate there are relatively few users of this API call.
None the less, maintainers should check their code for use of
action=logout and update as necessary to maintain expected operation.

Hi, what would you like to see in gerrit or improved? I've been working been working on developing a plugin that pull's in zuul's status into PolyGerrit. See the running demo at https://imgur.com/a/uBk2oxQ . Im also planning on adding "recheck" and "check experimental" as buttons to PolyGerrit's ui to improve CI. This will help new users who can recheck (and existing users that either forgot they can type this or haven't learned yet).
Note that i cannot promise that anything suggested in this thread will be worked on, but i can try my best.
See tasks https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214068 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214631 .
