[12:48:59] <wm-bb>	 <tuukkahastrup> Statistically, 1st of May (International Workers' Day) wouldn't seem to be the safest day to travel in Istanbul. Is there any guidance? (I may well have missed it.)
[13:09:52] <wm-bb>	 <Egezort> The 1st of May is pretty safe if you don't go through some areas. All the things that are likely to happen are related to the protests and whatnot. I don't think there's any increase in danger elsewhere.
[13:38:52] <wm-bb>	 <Mehman97> Istanbul is a pretty safe city on the 1st of May, but only if you don't mind going to Taksim Square to protest something :) (re @tuukkahastrup: Statistically, 1st of May (International Workers' Day) wouldn't seem to be the safest day to travel in Istanbul. Is there any gu...)
[13:48:30] <wm-bb>	 <tuukkahastrup> If there may be 100,000s of people demonstrating, are there perhaps some public transport lines to avoid on the way from the airport to the hotel?
[14:14:49] <wm-bb>	 <Egezort> Which airport? If Sabiha Gökçen, then you probably won't have a problem. If Istanbul Airport, Taksim and the general vicinity of Taksim may be inaccessible. Although I think this will have already been arranged by the authorities in a way that you can't accidentally go there. (Because even people who do want to go can't hehe)
[14:36:20] <wm-bb>	 <Sakhalinio> There are only three metro station is not working on that day. And These 3 stops are not on the airport to hotel route. (re @tuukkahastrup: If there may be 100,000s of people demonstrating, are there perhaps some public transport lines to avoid on the way from the air...)
[14:55:40] <wm-bb>	 <Mehman97> We have a guide for transportation that gives plenty of options for your trip from the airport to the hotel, and all bypass the Taksim.

[18:07:27] <wm-bb>	 <Agamya_Samuel> How can I access the DB provided the WMF, more specifically "User Database (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Database#User_databases)"
[18:07:27] <wm-bb>	 <Agamya_Samuel> I need to create a new database where I can store Wiki Quote of the Day*

[18:07:30] <wm-bb>	 <Agamya_Samuel> I am working on the Task T375969 (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T375969), which needs a soln to store Wiki Quote of The Day, for each day in the DB (https://github.com/indictechcom/wq-qotd/issues/3).
[18:07:31] <wm-bb>	 <Agamya_Samuel> I cam across this doc (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Database) which has instructions how to connect to Database.
[18:07:33] <wm-bb>	 <Agamya_Samuel> But I am encountering some error.
[18:07:49] <taavi>	 "some error"?
[18:08:37] <wm-bb>	 <Agamya_Samuel> when i try to access any database using the instructions above, i get unable to access DB error from inside of Toolforge. : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/1a24697c/file_68543.jpg
