(19:29:54) David_Hedlund: I've removed MPL1.1 (replaced by MPL-1.1), and MPLv2.0 (replaced by MPL-2.0) in https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Property:License, but the "License and version:" drop down menu in https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=Sandbox&action=formedit&debug=true#tab=3__Licenses remain unchanged: Search for "MPL" in it and you'll find only "MPL1.1" and "MPLv2.0". I have clicked on More -> Refresh to purge the cache but it didn't help. Do you know how I can update the list?

Hello David,
 +
 +
The job queue is currently at about 11 or 12 jobs, but it looks like the
 +
changes for MPL licenses did not go through. i tried editing and saving
 +
one of the MPL license pages and editing and saving template:license,
 +
but this did not update those pages.
 +
 +
i'll look into this some more, but if you can find any hints about this,
 +
that would be very helpful, but is not required. I suspect that it's an
 +
issue with semantic mediawiki. perhaps it doesn't handle page renames
 +
properly via the template:license code.
 +
 +
Thanks,
 +
Andrew

(17:00:55) sudoman: David_Hedlund: i sent you an email about the directory.fsf.org job queue. it's currently at about 11 or 12 jobs, but it looks like the license names didn't get updated. i suspect that this is an issue with semantic mediawiki not properly handling page renames.

https://directory2p.fsf.org/w/api.php?action=pfautocomplete&format=json&property=License&substr=MPL returns only "MPL", so looks like the old entries

are gone.

;Adding MPLx for testing:
 +
 +
* [https://directory2p.fsf.org/wiki?title=Property:License&diff=72708&oldid=72702 added MPLx]
 +
* After that change there are 15459 jobs in the queue (previously zero).
 +
* Started <code>flock -w 1 /var/run/apache2/SMW.flock php /var/www/w/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/rebuildData.php -v  --report-runtime</code> again. It seems there not so many stale data, so it seems to be faster.

;MPLx assigned to [[Sandbox]]

has caused at lest 12135 jobs to be generated (maybe ca. 300 has been processed).
 +
 
 +
Cron will deal with it within 121 hours, or it is possible to run
 +
"runjobs 10000" to run, say, 10000 jobs in one go (this does not
 +
conflict with cron).
 +
 
 +
Basically it seems that we should be prepared to handle ca. 15000 jobs
 +
quickly. Maybe the system can be tuned to do that in a reasonable timeframe.
 +
It mostly depends on the MySQL database server.
 +
 
 +
One can check the amount of jobs left by running "wikijobs" (it is cached but for not very long).

::<i>Now users won't be able to insert <i>arbitrary</i> values in the License field. This discourages the insertion of non-free software and prevents the accidental pollution of the namespaces. I've also added new and more explicative help texts, based on the current structure of GNU packages.</i>
* Autopopulate ''License verified date'' field if it is empty.  
+
::Resolved by inheritance:
 +
<div style="color:gray;">
 +
:::* The "License" (friendly name: "License and version") input field is too liberal, it accepts any value and if the value is a non-existing page it will appear as a red link who will eventually be created by anyone who see it. Only licenses listed in https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses should be on our "License and version:" drop-down menu.
 +
:::** Possible solutions:
 +
:::**# Change type from <code>combobox</code> to <code>dropdown</code>. [https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=Form:Entry&oldid=55564 Attempted], but reverted due to issues.
 +
:::**#* This would make the form edit misbehave, as it would not find the already existing values in old entries that are set before the change. Thus, in the form edit, if an already existing entry/page has <code>MPLv2.0</code> set as <code>License</code> parameter for {{Tl|Project license}}, then it won't find it since it expects <code>License:MPLv2.0</code>. Making {{Tl|Project license}} set this doesn't work ([https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=Template:Project_license&oldid=55610 it was already tried]), the only fix for the already existing entries seems to be a mass-replace, so that every call for {{Tl|Project license}} that is like this {{#tag:code|<nowiki>{{Project license |License=MPLv2.0 }}</nowiki>}} becomes like this {{#tag:code |<nowiki>{{Project license |License=License:MPLv2.0 }}</nowiki>}}. The bug described in this item doesn't affect the show/read tabs of each entry.
 +
:::**#** Before attempting to fix this, see if fixing the item below would also fix this one.
 +
:::**#* Must make sure that the allowed values for [[Property:License]] or for that license-related input only point to pages at the :::<code>License</code> namespace. For example, currently [[Property:License]] describes <code>Boost</code> as one of the allowed values, however it seems to refer to [[Boost]], not [[License:Boost]].

* Remove exposure of database strip marks from pages under [https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=license%3A&namespace=0 License namespace].

Template:BacklogIssue

COMPLETED --Adfeno (talk) 14:05, 18 December 2020 (EST)
The dropdown of the entry form now correctly picks all licenses inside the License namespace. As such, the “allowed values” for Property:License can also be removed.
Referring to #1521, #Development-testing, #icliclst, #licsyncd: solved by the same changes which solved #Update-the-license-field. --Adfeno (talk) 16:11, 18 December 2020 (EST)

This issue was declared obsolete (10/15/2019 FSD meeting).

Template:BacklogIssue

COMPLETED --LorenzoAncora (talk) 14:52, 26 April 2019 (EDT)
Now all form fields have help popups and, before saving, the user is notified that all changes are permanent. Security policies are now stated explicitly and SPAM redirects are strictly forbidden.

Template:BacklogIssue

COMPLETED --LorenzoAncora (talk) --LorenzoAncora (talk) 14:41, 5 April 2019 (EDT)
Now users won't be able to insert arbitrary values in the License field. This discourages the insertion of non-free software and prevents the accidental pollution of the namespaces. I've also added new and more explicative help texts, based on the current structure of GNU packages.
Resolved by inheritance:
  • The "License" (friendly name: "License and version") input field is too liberal, it accepts any value and if the value is a non-existing page it will appear as a red link who will eventually be created by anyone who see it. Only licenses listed in https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses should be on our "License and version:" drop-down menu.
    • Possible solutions:
      1. Change type from combobox to dropdown. Attempted, but reverted due to issues.
        • This would make the form edit misbehave, as it would not find the already existing values in old entries that are set before the change. Thus, in the form edit, if an already existing entry/page has MPLv2.0 set as License parameter for {{Project license}}, then it won't find it since it expects License:MPLv2.0. Making {{Project license}} set this doesn't work (it was already tried), the only fix for the already existing entries seems to be a mass-replace, so that every call for {{Project license}} that is like this {{Project license |License=MPLv2.0 }} becomes like this {{Project license |License=License:MPLv2.0 }}. The bug described in this item doesn't affect the show/read tabs of each entry.
          • Before attempting to fix this, see if fixing the item below would also fix this one.
        • Must make sure that the allowed values for Property:License or for that license-related input only point to pages at the :::License namespace. For example, currently Property:License describes Boost as one of the allowed values, however it seems to refer to Boost, not License:Boost.

The default value of the field is now the most recent date the server is able to produce, 0-padded for compatibility (MediaWiki >1.6).

Link= Most of the licenses no longer present this problem, but are plagued by the presence of blank pages, malformed pages or non-SPDX redirects. Manual entry-by-entry analysis is required. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 15:15, 4 January 2019 (EST)
Reviewed today: from ACDL to Apache. Many blank lines, bad parameters etc. but no PRE tags found/fixed. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 15:38, 11 January 2019 (EST)
Reviewed today: from Arphic-PL to Boost-1.0. Same edits as before but also created a couple of redirects from empty licenses to the correct licenses, added missing license links and removed useless padding. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 15:38, 11 January 2019 (EST)
Link= After repeated analysis, it does not appear that the problem reported in the Active Backlog Task could compromise the functionality of MediaWiki. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 12:35, 8 February 2019 (EST)

According to Reedy in Freenode #mediawiki channel, we can perhaps look at MediaWiki:Common.js (specially the fixEntryPrevBug() and hidePreviewButton() functions. --Adfeno (talk) 15:50, 24 April 2020 (EDT)
Felipe, I've added those functions to fix existing bugs. All function in common.js won't block this functionality. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 15:55, 24 April 2020 (EDT)
LorenzoAncora: To clarify: the comment I made was not to blame anyone or any change made, but instead as a suggested place to look at (whether to improve, to study, or simply leave as is). --Adfeno (talk) 16:07, 24 April 2020 (EDT)
Hi Felipe!
I know, I wanted to ensure nobody wastes his/her energy seeking the issue in existing JavaScript, as the issue depends from the page itself (probably it hits a processing limit).
We can still use the [edit] link near each section to preview each change. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 07:32, 27 April 2020 (EDT)
I've just extended the existing JavaScript code to gain even better performance and also had occasion to fix the issue with the button directly client-side so only the pages which can effectively hit the processing limits have the functionality disabled. This Active Backlog task should be now obsolete. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 08:56, 27 April 2020 (EDT)

Comment: To fix all of the above MediaWiki debugging needs to be enabled. It is also good to see the PHP error log.  « Saper // @talk »  13:17, 27 January 2018 (EST)

As requested in #fsf IRC channel, here is the comment I made there, describing my studies so far:
It basically involves three templates (it might involve more, but I only researched three so far) {{Print entry}} {{Entry}} and {{Show}}. There is a fourth one ({{IRC}}) but I think we might be able to replace it ({{Print entry}} calls it, so instead of calling {{IRC}}: we can take the code from it and insert in the caller template).
I think that #replace will just mask the underlying issue. --David Hedlund (talk) 10:49, 27 January 2018 (EST)
I think there is so far the following possibilities:
  1. an issue between the templates used;
  2. an issue with the #ask: queries and the template result format;
  3. we have reached a setting limit that makes the formatting not work (perhaps a limit on the template result format, although I have tried to remove the call to {{IRC}} but it didn't work, we might have to make tests by simplifying the template result calls even further to see if this is indeed the problematic setting);
  4. an issue with the "IRC [level name]" properties when setting (#set:) or their query and display.
I think we can make use of #nowiki or #- display parameters when querying for the "IRC [level" properties of an entry (this is queried for in {{Show}}) in order to take the property value in raw (example: irc:chat.freenode.net/fsf) but then we will need to change either {{Print entry}} or {{IRC}} (the first one is the problematic, so I recommend to test with it first) so that it removes irc: but also allows any other : (because the URL scheme allows port numbers). --Adfeno (talk) 08:47, 27 January 2018 (EST)
While MediaWiki understands IRC URLs very well, Our copy Semantic MediaWiki gets confused if a property of type URL has a protocol different from HTTP, this problem also happens if the property definition/setting is invisible (using #set:), but in all cases it works as expected if the protocol is HTTP. I don't know if this is a bug in Semantic MediaWiki (or MediaWiki) but this affects at least our copy of it. An example of the issue with IRC property can be seen in: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki?title=Free_Software_Directory:Sandbox&oldid=48884 --Adfeno (talk) 11:32, 27 January 2018 (EST)
As of SMW 2.5.1, http https and ftp URL schemes will be printed with double slashes, all other without: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/568d058ea68859d134654a959001ba0739c781e3/includes/dataitems/SMW_DI_URI.php#L68-L70  « Saper // @talk »  12:49, 27 January 2018 (EST)
Fixed in [1]. --Adfeno (talk) 14:43, 2 November 2018 (EDT)

Adding #- didn't seem to help.  « Saper // @talk »  08:54, 27 January 2018 (EST)
We unfortunately need a function to remove irc: in order to use #nowiki or #-.--Adfeno (talk) 09:35, 27 January 2018 (EST)
