The minutes from TechCom's triage meeting on 13 January 2020.
Present: Dan A, Daniel K, Tim S., Tim T.
RFC: Introduce PageIdentity [Approved]
[edit]- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208776
- Last Call is closed, approved.
RFC: Normalize MediaWiki link tables
[edit]- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222224
- Amir shows that the enwiki-pagelinks table has surpassed the size of the revisions table.
- Jaime shows that (post-MCR compression) the revision tables have gotten considerably smaller, and that on Commons the image/oldimage tables are even bigger than pagelinks and pose a bigger operational risk (since link data can be regenerated). He recommends executing the oldimage migration, which was approved in 2017 as part of RFC T28741.
RFC: Drop support for older database upgrades [Last Call]
[edit]- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259771
- Remains on Last Call until next week. Are people quietly excited?
RFC: Stable interface policy, Nov 2020 amendment [Last Call]
[edit]- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268326
- Remains on Last Call for one more week.
Next week IRC office hours
[edit]No IRC discussion scheduled for next week.
