Deploy structured wikitext mentor list to Wikimedia wikis
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Background

As part of T264343: Have a special page for mentors to sign up, the Growth team is working on a sign up form for mentors. We decided to create a structured mentor list, MediaWiki:GrowthMentors.json, to serve as the new canonical location for the list of mentors, similar to what community configuration does.

Task objective

Deploy the structured mentor list to Wikimedia wikis. This has to be done carefully, because it will be difficult to go back once we do the deployment.

Deployment checklist
Prerequisites
  • Write a migration script (T310446)
  • Wait until code is ready to adequately support the structured mentor list (currently tracked under T264343)
Testing the structured mentor list
  • Temporarily allow all beta users to enroll as mentors for testing purposes (patch)
  • Make beta enwiki use structured mentor list (patch)
  • Run mwscript extensions/GrowthExperiments/maintenance/migrateWikitextMentorList.php --wiki=enwiki at beta cluster
  • Thoroughly test the structured mentor list at beta enwiki (T312102)
  • Make beta arwiki use structured mentor list (patch)
  • Run mwscript extensions/GrowthExperiments/maintenance/migrateWikitextMentorList.php --wiki=arwiki at beta cluster
  • Habib (Arabic Ambassador) tests the structured mentor list at arwiki
Migration
  • Review existing wikitext mentor lists for inconsistencies, bugs, etc. (T310906)
  • Switch beta cluster + testwiki to structured mentor list (substeps have to be done at once; beta patch, testwiki patch)
    • Set $wgGEMentorProvider = "structured" for all affected wikis
    • Run mwscript extensions/GrowthExperiments/maintenance/migrateWikitextMentorList.php --wiki=XXwiki for all affected wikis
  • Thoroughly QA behavior with the structured mentor list at those wikis; ask Ambassadors to review the interface
  • Document the new interface (project page)
  • Announce the migration to the pilot wikis, inform them about the impact (T314858)
  • Switch the pilot wikis to structured mentor list (substeps have to be done at once; point of no return; patch)
    • Set $wgGEMentorProvider = "structured" for all affected wikis
    • Run mwscript extensions/GrowthExperiments/maintenance/migrateWikitextMentorList.php --wiki=XXwiki for all affected wikis
    • arwiki: If deployed before T291564 is fixed, transfer messages from manual list manually.
  • Wait 1 week for possible issues
  • Address all raised issues
  • Announce the migration to the rest of the wikis, inform them about the impact (T314858)
  • Switch all remaining wikis to structured mentor list (substeps have to be done at once; point of no return)
    • Set $wgGEMentorProvider = "structured" for all affected wikis
    • Run mwscript extensions/GrowthExperiments/maintenance/migrateWikitextMentorList.php --wiki=XXwiki for all affected wikis
Clean up
  • Remove code supporting the wikitext-based mentor list (T321501)
Blockers
Soft-blockers

Soft blocker is a task that's nice to have, but it is reasonably easy to proceed without it.

We will take this week to observe how things are going at the pilot wikis, including Spanish Wikipedia's deployment.

We will eventually deploy to all wikis on week 42 (starting Oct 17, 2022).

@Urbanecm_WMF @Trizek-WMF are there some more checkboxes to complete for this task? Should it be in QA?

Urbanecm_WMF changed the task status from In Progress to Open.Oct 31 2022, 6:55 AM

@Urbanecm_WMF @Trizek-WMF are there some more checkboxes to complete for this task? Should it be in QA?

I think it should be in "Watching", with us waiting for a while (let's say, until Nov 05) in case there is any late negative feedback from the communities that would need undeployment, and then we can Resolve it.

Not objecting resolving now if @Trizek-WMF feels that way.

The suggested deadline passed, and no negative feedback was received. Resolving, the deployment's finished.

@Urbanecm_WMF, FYI, an important number of wikis where with the old list: frwikt, sk, sq, sv, sr, te, tr, uk, vi, zh. Your script probably stopped half-way. I manually converted them. One mentor at tr.wp has been asked to clarify their status (not listed on the old list, but in the structured one).
