• A public status system for WMF wikis has been created. It is located at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ and is hosted separately to WMF wikis so in the case of an outage it will remain viewable.

• Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.

MusikBot – DYK

Hi, MusikBot hasn't taken care of the daily DYK headings for a couple of days (User:MusikBot/RotateTDYK).  MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM  07:49, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up! Something apparently broke with the migration to the new Toolforge jobs framework. What's weird is it's reporting that it has been successfully running, and there are no errors. I'm going to have to debug this by running the script manually right at 00:00 UTC, which I won't be able to do tonight but should be able to tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience. — MusikAnimal ^talk 19:56, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just manually updated the page to add May 15, and also to move the Current nominations section header to its proper place in the list. MusikAnimal, I'll be sure not to do so for tomorrow unless given the all-clear here. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:06, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I tested from my local and on Toolforge (running the script directly) and it worked just fine. This suggests the Toolforge jobs framework is to blame, since it's not outputting any errors. I'm going to get in touch with the Cloud Services team and see if they have any ideas. Otherwise I can move this task back to the old grid engine, which should work.

Just in case I can't get it fixed in time, I should let you know I'll be on holiday from this Wednesday through the end of the month. So in worst case this won't be fixed until June 1 at the earliest. I've got a lot of things to do before I leave but I will try to address this issue before then. — MusikAnimal ^talk 00:13, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, MusikAnimal. I saw that tonight's update was made (twice!). I hope you'll be able to get help from Cloud Services, or otherwise manage to fix things. Let us know if it's a worst case situation, and I'll do my best to do daily manual updates as long as necessary—after all, I was one of those who did them in the manual-update days before you added the job to your bot.
