Description

Tag for strategic progress tracking at the Wikimedia Foundation on work towards some OKRs (i.e. work that advances some KR or hypothesis.

See also Essential-Work. Re-use of these tags was discussed in T357321.

Tag for teams to allow tracking "Maintenance Fraction", or portion of team work that is dedicated to maintenance of existing functionality vs creation of new functionality.
The corresponding tag is Essential-Work.

This was created as part of a pilot run by Team-Practices at the request of WMF management. The pilot has ended, so this tag is no longer used by Team Practices, but some teams still seem to be using it for their own purposes. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Team_Practices_Group/Measuring_Types_of_Work for more information.

The creation of this tag was discussed in T109492.

KStoller-WMF added a comment to T407353: Adapt `ReviseToneTaskTypeHandler::getSearchTerm` for production release.

After discussing with Ambassadors, I think it’s best to avoid surfacing suggestions on newly created articles for longer than originally proposed.
Each wiki has its own process for reviewing new articles, and Ambassadors recommended that we respect those local workflows (for example, waiting until an article has passed NPP or been marked as patrolled in Flagged Revisions). To keep things simple, though, I suggest limiting suggestions to articles that are at least 90 days old for our initial tests. After 90 days, articles are typically indexed by search even if they haven’t been marked as patrolled, which makes this a reasonable threshold for assuming the article is stable and unlikely to be deleted.

Change #1192183 abandoned by Andrea Denisse:

[operations/alerts@master] mediawiki-engineering: Add REST API alerts with thresholds

Reason:

Hi folks, I'm abandoning this as I've set-up these alerts from Grafana. https://grafana-rw.wikimedia.org/alerting/list?search=namespace%3A%22MediaWiki+Engineering+Team%22+group%3A%22ResourceLoader+Alerts%22

Yes, that's true. But conda-analytics isn't necessarily a long-term solution. I'd be much happier to start out with a container based solution as per: T406636: Create a dbt Docker container but container runtimes are not available to us on the stat servers at the moment.

At least this way, we will have something unform to work with already on the stat servers.
