of upgrading the main wiki.<br>
<br>
This time, the update went relatively smoothly (last time I had to skip <br>
ahead multiple releases containing major structural changes). Notes:<br>
<br>
- MW 1.35 is a LTS release. We could choose to stay on it, but we <br>
would still have to track the REL_1.35 branch to get security and <br>
stability updates. Then, we'd have a more painful update to the next LTS <br>
in 2 years. Personally, I'd prefer tracking the official releases every <br>
6 months, but it will be up to whoever volunteers to maintain the wiki.<br>
<br>
- The VisualEditor is now bundled with MW, and does not require <br>
Parsoid. However, it's not working on wiki-devel. Still haven't figured why.<br>
<br>
- I noticed from the logs that wiki-devel is being crawled by multiple <br>
web spiders. It uses bandwidth and cpu time, so we should disallow it. <br>
The main wiki could also use some narrowing rules for robots: <br>
<a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Robots.txt" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Robots.txt</a><br>
<br>
- Finally, I noticed that <a href="http://join.sugarlabs.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">join.sugarlabs.org</a> breaks the MW parser. I <br>
figured that removing the Widgets extension fixes it, and then I also <br>
found the offending line:<br>
<br>
{{Iframe|See [<a href="http://planet.sugarlabs.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://planet.sugarlabs.org</a> Planet Sugar Labs], our blog <br>
aggregator |<a href="http://planet.sugarlabs.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://planet.sugarlabs.org</a>|900|600|1}}<br>
<br>
So I just deleted that line. The Planet doesn't have any new articles <br>
since 1 year ago, anyway. Do we use IFrame anywhere else? Can we just <br>
disable the Widgets plugin?<br>
<br>
Since we're limited on sysadmin resources, I think we should aim to make <br>
the wiki as maintainable as possible, which means using a configuration <br>
as close as possible to upstream, and as few exotic extensions as possible.<br>
<br>
Please test and let me know if you find any problems. I'd like to <br>
upgrade the production instance later this weekend.<br>
