2026-04-07 08:20:23 <p858snake|cloud> A_smart_kitten: I feel there is(/was?) another task another task floating around about wikimedia.org emails not receiving emails from some of the foundation services properly
2026-04-07 08:22:54 <A_smart_kitten> p858snake|cloud: I know that I've seen one at least for the Beta Cluster, let me find (what might be) the task ID...
2026-04-07 08:26:33 <A_smart_kitten> p858snake|cloud: found T212327 but that's marked as resolved ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212327#11649011 )
2026-04-07 08:26:33 <stashbot> T212327: Beta Cluster mailer not sending emails to @wikimedia.org addresses - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212327
2026-04-07 18:14:50 <A_smart_kitten> i'm probably missing something really obvious, but i don't understand where the text at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Createacct-helpusername is coming from: "(username policy)"
2026-04-07 18:15:40 <A_smart_kitten> especially since Special:AllMessages shows a different string to what's displayed for me when I visit that MediaWiki: namespace page -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AllMessages?prefix=createacct-helpusername reports the text (within a wikilink) as being "(help me choose)", FWICS.
2026-04-07 18:16:14 <A_smart_kitten> https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/search/?q=username%5C+policy&files=&excludeFiles=&repos=&i=fosho doesn't seem to find anything interesting
2026-04-07 18:22:28 <mutante> A_smart_kitten: it's the "display text" for the link directly in: [[{{MediaWiki:createacct-helpusername-url}}|(username policy)]] ?
2026-04-07 18:23:50 <mutante> it's a normal link except the link target is pulled from that system message variable and the link text is (username policy) ?
2026-04-07 18:38:42 <Raine> A_smart_kitten: I tried to create an account and indeed don't seem to have the email
2026-04-07 20:53:24 <A_smart_kitten> Raine: thanks for checking :) I will file a new task to track this, given that it seems to be reproducible for at least two people.
2026-04-07 20:56:33 <A_smart_kitten> mutante: huh, on Special:AllMessages, that displays to me as [[{{MediaWiki:createacct-helpusername-url}}|(help me choose)]]
2026-04-07 20:56:38 <A_smart_kitten> does it display differently to you?
2026-04-07 21:07:52 <A_smart_kitten> Raine: mutante: T422559 (in case you are interested) :)
2026-04-07 21:07:53 <stashbot> T422559: The test Phabricator instance doesn't seem to be successfully sending emails to @wikimedia.org addresses - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T422559
2026-04-07 21:08:27 <Raine> thanks!
2026-04-07 21:25:53 <p858snake|cloud> i would probably check that receiving emails from beta cluster wikis work, it might be a regression when the mailing deamon/package got changed
2026-04-07 21:47:47 <mutante> A_smart_kitten: I see the same you see on Special:AllMessages - i just think it's hardcoded directly in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Createacct-helpusername&action=edit as the link text
2026-04-07 21:49:31 <mutante> [[{{some_message}}|blabla]] just like a plain link [[foo|bar]]
2026-04-07 21:49:59 <mutante> the "blabla" part not coming from messages
2026-04-07 21:56:31 <A_smart_kitten> *ahhhh* i found where it's coming from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikimedia-createacct-helpusername is overridden, rather than `createacct-helpusername` itself
2026-04-07 21:57:10 <A_smart_kitten> so I guess ext:WikimediaMessages causes that override to then be displayed at the MediaWiki: page for the system-message it's overriding
2026-04-07 21:57:46 <A_smart_kitten> (but doesn't cause it to be displayed in place of the system-message it's overriding at Special:AllMessages, I guess)
2026-04-07 21:58:27 <A_smart_kitten> thank you, enwiki all-namespace search for insource:/\(username policy\)/ :)
2026-04-07 21:58:44 <A_smart_kitten> and thanks mutante!
2026-04-07 23:16:44 <mutante> oh! well, then I had no idea but glad you found out :)
