Description

Project for the Wikimedia Commons community.

The intention behind this project is:

  • Better organization for specific communities. Commons has specific needs and a well-organized community which is expected to be actively involved in this Phabricator project and this project's tasks.
  • A potential bridge between non-technical users and developers: Not many users will know that a problem is related to some specific MediaWiki extension, but most users will be able to tell that their problem is happening in Commons. The Commons Phabricator project can be watched by tech ambassadors and other users who know the community and its technical links well and can help those users and triage those tasks.

See also Commons:Bugs
IRC: #wikimedia-commons-tech

Please do not report tasks under this project if the task is not actually specific to Commons but only because you found this problem on Commons. Also see How to report a bug.

(For the records: The creation of this project was discussed in T39883 and T802.)

Perhaps we can exclude changes where "New content model ($1) (new_content_model)" is 'wikibase-mediainfo' to remove such false positives?

matmarex added a comment to T362494: Enable numerical category sorting on Commons.

I'd be curious to hear more about why it's impossible. I realize that Commons is much bigger in some respects than all other wikis, but that should just mean that the update to recalculate categories will take much longer (maybe weeks instead of days), not that it will be impossible. Someone has to monitor the update script during this time and maybe restart it if the server it's running on gets shut down or something, which is inconvenient, but again not impossible. The wiki should otherwise continue functioning normally while this happens.

Ebrahim added a comment to T362494: Enable numerical category sorting on Commons.

Sorry about the trouble it has made, it's great that you are adding a comment to the section so changes in the future can be done more carefully, just to note in future if you can design someway to change this, please go for numeric instead of uca-default-u-kn as it was on the initial versions of the reverted patch (weird that it has changed last minute, probably even my own fault 😞). Maybe uca-default-u-kn can be desirable sometime but perhaps another community discussion is needed for that I think as some may don't like that T32996#2342009 and the request was only to enable numeric sorting. (and quick question from @Jdforrester-WMF, is a change from uppercase to numeric also this costly?)

I remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_149#Sorting_in_categories_unreliable_for_a_few_days on enwiki, which didn't involve making the database read-only. But I guess Commons is much bigger than enwiki so it would take even longer.
