T423779: Translating a page on Meta-Wiki didn't create the translated page
I believe I've found another example of this problem. I won't repeat the "mark as ready for translation" for now, in case you want to do so to help diagnose it:
This string is translated
But the page it's within is still showing the English version (even after purges and null-edits in all locations)
The Translation interface says
Failed to load translation aids: Title does not correspond to a translatable message
next to the chunk
Context: I was rapidly going thru the page to split some "header + paragraph" chunks that were previously conjoined, after
fixing the root page

T423231: Edit toolbar on mobile: Enable Redo button
I don't think the target would shift under a user's finger, because the Redo button is added
after
the Undo button, which always remains first. I.e. the only potential misclick, is if someone tries to click "
Undo
" and then "
" (menu) rapidly in succession.

T423160: Edit toolbar on mobile: replace the Publish icon with a check
I wonder if the international variations in meaning might cause problems with this?
I'm not sure where we are currently using the
cdxIconCheck
The only usages of a checkmark that I can immediately think of, are (1) within the HTML checkboxes in the Special:Preferences pages, and (2) in the Publish workflow for Wikidata entities.
However, #2 is possibly a sufficient precedent to establish this as something that is going to be familiar-enough to end-users in all languages.

[...] One important nuance is that Wikipedia's brand is very much tied up with black text with blue links on a white background, even more so than with the puzzle globe logo. My intuition is that casual readers who [...] do not come very often would lose trust/confidence in the wikis if the interface were presented to them in dark mode without them expecting it. This represents a significant brand risk.

T418555: Conduct pre-mortem about surfacing reference survival signal
Thoughts:
Need to make sure this is useful in
all
languages that have relevant data - I.e. Spot-checks by the team, and clear documentation and/or requests for assistance from communities to do spot-checks.
Need to make sure this doesn't conflict with any/all manually-written listings onwiki - (I.e. Ditto.)
Need to clearly understand the risk-factors of mis-identified sources - I.e. Confusion or incorrect information for newcomers, frustration for experienced editors, PR/reputation concerns externally
Need to be very precise in the wording of how these signals are conveyed to the editors within the UI. I.e. Need to cover the broad spectrum of situational-contexts, such as a source that may be commonly reverted/removed in many contexts but are still permissible in other contexts.
Need to investigate if/how we can provide ways for communities to override the automated signals, e.g. via the manual listings in the various existing global/local tools.

I noticed someone

Hi. Are you using any user-CSS or gadget/user-scripts here? [Or: Can you reproduce this whilst logged-out?]. I can't see anything obvious in your global.css, but maybe there's something harder for me to see elsewhere.
Context: I experienced this bug a few months ago when I was experimenting with increasing the font-size in the edit-window, via custom user-CSS. [I was trying to force it to match my Appearance-menu preferences on Desktop for the "standard" font-size. Here's
the code I removed
from my custom user-CSS which fixed this bug, but leaves me with too-small a font].
[Sidenote: I am not a dev. I'm just trying to help clarify the origin of this bug.]

T418028: Spam filtering rules for mediawiki-api@lists.wikimedia.org failing
I sent this to that mailing-list's owner list last week:
You're getting a lot of spam at this mailing list, over the last few months. I wonder if you might consider changing the setting for "Default action to take when a member posts to the list"
from the default of "Default processing"
to perhaps use "Hold for moderation" instead?
That would result in more work for you to triage both spam and legitimate emails (although frequent legitimate senders can be added to the auto-approve list), but would help all the subscribers to avoid seeing these spam messages.
[I'm not sure if that's a
great
solution, but it's the one that occurred to me at the time.]

T383948: Echo notification expiration should be time-based, not hardcoded 2000
I would suggest writing a Tech News entry that gives a clear explanation of what is changing and why, plus gives a 2 week deadline for feedback in case there's something we've overlooked. E.g. Perhaps something like this? (Please expand and rewrite/improve however you can!):
Notifications are currently limited to 2,000 historic entries per user, and extend back to 2013 when the feature was released. This is going to be changed in two weeks, to only store Notifications from the last 5 years, but up to 10,000 of them. This will help with long-term code maintenance and help to prevent more recent notifications from disappearing too soon. [
plus any other important reasons to highlight?
]. [1]
