Hey everyone,I’ve noticed a lot of students (including myself) struggling with the pressure of online classes, deadlines, and quizzes — especially with platforms like Capella FlexPath, WGU, and others.If you're overwhelmed, there’s a service I recently came across called Online Classes Help. They assist with everything from discussion posts and assignments to full course completion. Super helpful for those juggling jobs or other responsibilities!Whether you need one-time help or ongoing support, this could really reduce your stress and help you maintain a good GPA. Just make sure to use it ethically — as a support tool, not a shortcut!Has anyone else tried such services? Would love to hear your experiences.Cheers! fpr more info :https://coursefpx.com/online-class-help/

Hi all,we're movingirc.wikimedia.org to a new infrastructure [1]. Thisservice is unrelated to the IRC network (Libera) we use for real timediscussions. Insteadirc.wikimedia.org is an IRC service forbroadcasting recent changes events from public Wikimedia wikis to beused by various bots connected to per-wiki IRC channels.irc.wikimedia.org should not be used for any new bots (which shouldrather use Eventstreams[2]), but we still have various important botsrelying on the legacy IRC-based infrastructure.The current setup is full of technical debt and ultimately based on apatched version of a very old release of ircd-ratbox with a relayservice written in Python 2.We are replacing it with a modern standalone implementation in Python,which broadcasts IRC notifications in a format compatible to what iscurrently in use by the legacy setup:https://github.com/paravoid/ircstreamLast week during the SRE Infrastructure Foundations hackathon theircstream production setup was created. All our tests have beensuccessful, so on Thursday October 10 at 08:00 UTC we'll switch theirc.wikimedia.org DNS name to the new setup.No changes are needed to any bots, but if you run into any issuesafter the switch, please notify us in the #wikimedia-sre-foundationsIRC channel or leave a note athttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T376014.Cheers,Luca, Simon and MoritzFootnotes:[1]https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Irc.wikimedia.org[2]https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event_Platform/EventStreams_HTTP_Service

I just re-applied changehttps://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1163470, whichallows documenting the type of the value contained inside a Status orStatusValue object when it is returned from a function or accepted asa parameter.This allows IDEs like PhpStorm to provide better autocompletion, andallows Phan to better analyze the code using the value. For example: /** @return StatusValue<Foo> */ function doStuff(): StatusValue { ... } doStuff()->getValue()->bar();Phan will now validate that the class 'Foo' has a method called 'bar',and PhpStorm will autocomplete its methods after `...->getValue()->`.This is achieved using '@template' annotations to document Status andStatusValue as generic classes. This is supported by most PHP staticanalyzers these days, but fairly new in MediaWiki core. You can findan introduction to this concept here:https://stitcher.io/blog/generics-in-php-1It is still okay to use the Status or StatusValue classes withoutspecifying the type of their value, although if you subclass one ofthem, you'll need to add some annotations for Phan to accept them.We've made the necessary updates to all extensions with knownproblems, but if you encounter any more issues, please ask here or ontaskhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T397781.Thanks to Daimona, Umherirrender and Lucas Werkmeister for their helpwith the changes to MediaWiki and extensions.Thanks also to Phan maintainers, including once again Daimona andRasmus Lerdorf, who reviewed many of my patches for Phan, improvingits generic support to the point that this change became possible.-- Bartosz Dziewoński

Queuing jobs on Toolforge
by Sebastian Berlin 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25
Is there a way to queue jobs on Toolforge<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Running_jobs>? I wantto run a number of one-off jobs (job1, job2, job3) in sequence. Job2 shouldstart when job1 is done etc. They shouldn't run in parallell because theymake requests to a service which can only take one request per second.Making a YAML file with `wait: true` will make them run in sequence, butthen I have a blocking process. Even if I could put it in the backgroundI'm worried it'll stop at some point which means no more jobs would getstarted.*Sebastian Berlin*Utvecklare/*Developer*Wikimedia Sverige (WMSE)E-post/*E-Mail*: sebastian.berlin(a)wikimedia.seTelefon/*Phone*: (+46) 0707 - 92 03 84

Hello,As part of improving performance and stability of the recentchanges table,we are addressing some tech debt. rc_new field was deprecated 13 years agoand rc_type similarly was deprecated 11 years ago. We are moving forwardwith dropping these columns in favour of rc_source field.If you're querying rc_new or rc_type, please switch to using rc_sourceinstead. They will be removed from wikireplicas in a week.This would allow us to consolidate several different indexes on this tableand improve performance of Special:Recentchanges and Watchlist plussimplifying MediaWiki code.To follow the work, you can checkhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T400696and related subtickets.Thank you and apologies for the inconvenienceBest-- *Amir Sarabadani (he/him)*Staff Database ArchitectWikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>
