[10:01:07] 22.28 < bd808> somebody should start an RFC on enwiki ;) [10:01:08] lol [20:54:11] bd808: there's a discussion now about sunsetting Flow, which might or might not go anywhere. If it happens, we'll have a look at whether it's feasible to also sunset LQT at the same time (which I imagine would be less controversial). [20:55:22] tgr: good to hear. is this discussion happening anywhere that folks like me could follow and/or participate? [20:56:52] I'm afraid not [20:57:07] *nod* no worries [20:57:41] we aren't doing a good job of separating the resourcing discussion (which isn't particularly useful to have in the open) from the technical discussion :( [20:58:09] but as you might imagine the resourcing one is the bottleneck [20:58:41] yeah, its hard to decide to clean up messes instead of making things that are shiny [20:58:46] tgr: while I'm thinking of it, would you mind reviewing this OAuth grant I requested? https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:OAuthManageConsumers/bb1a33dbfff6689a8b50a5b7cff13a48 [21:04:18] that too, and some wikis actually like Flow [21:05:50] bd808: done, I don't think we have any rule agains self-reviews though [21:06:06] we don't but it feels dirty to me :) [21:56:52] What's entailed in hosting a Support desk page like WikiMedia's? [21:57:04] Is there an extension available? [22:00:13] mcint: which page are you referring to? [22:00:41] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk [22:01:01] MediaWiki's* [22:03:59] mcint: I think it's https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StructuredDiscussions [22:04:13] awesome, thank you much mutante [22:04:36] redirected from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Flow [22:11:21] Hmm, I'll probably have spam management questions, but this is an excellent starting point. robots.txt might neuter the value of a lot of it. Or if no-follows on links are included. Ah they include Spam and Moderation sections. [22:14:45] mcint: full disclosure, Wikimedia once considered closing that and replacing it with Discourse but then changed their mind about that so we kept it as you see it now [22:15:37] also we have a full blown ticket system at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ if you have technical users who already know how to create bug reports
