The 1.35.0-wmf.11 version of MediaWiki is blocked[0].
The new version is deployed to group 0[1], but can proceed no
further until these issues are resolved:
* VisualEditor throwing "PHP Notice: Undefined index: etag" on
officewiki as of wmf.11 - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T240961
* "BadMethodCallException: Sessions are disabled for this entry point"
via GrowthExperiments - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T240997
Once these issues are resolved train can resume. If these issues are
resolved on a Friday the train will resume Monday.
Thank you for your help resolving these issues!

Hi All,
What is the best way to add a citation text on the VE surface?
I have wikitext of the form
<ref name=mediawiki>{{sample mediawiki
|Path=
http://localhost/myweb/otherprojects/mw/core/index.php/Main_Page#Getting
|Title= Medaiwiki|Publisher = [[Wikimedia]]
|Date= 17 June 2019|Arrival date= 12 May 2017
| Archive Path = mediawiki.org| Archive date = 4 September 2019 }}
</ref>
which when I paste, VE renders automatically. But when I write it as a
string, it does not render on the surface.
Thanks

Hi all,
Tomorrow we will be issuing a security and maintenance release to all
supported branches of MediaWiki.
It will also coincide with the with formal release of 1.34.0, which has
been a little bit delayed due to the US holidays and the Wikimedia
Technical Conference whilst the last few couple of outstanding issues could
be fixed. It also meant that a followup release to the REL1_34 branch
wouldn't be needed only a couple of weeks after the 1.34.0 release was cut.
The new releases will be:
1.34.0
1.33.2
1.32.6
1.31.6
This will resolve 1 issue in MediaWiki core (when running on older PHP
versions), and also includes some fixes previously committed to git, such
as minor security and hardening patches.
Fixes will be available in these respective release branches, and also
master. Tarballs will be available for the above mentioned point releases
as well.
1.32.6 will also be the final release for 1.32 (barring any unforeseen
issues), which is scheduled to become end of life in January 2020 [1]. If
you're using 1.32, it is recommended that you upgrade to the latest point
release of the 1.33 branch (1.33.2, to be released tomorrow) or 1.34.0 to
carry on using a maintained and supported release.
This security release includes fixes for MediaWiki core.
A summary of some of the security fixes that have gone into non bundled
MediaWiki extensions will also follow.

Were you ever curious and wanted to know
* the number of Gerrit patches written by volunteer authors in a year?
* who are the most active patch authors in a Gerrit repository?
* who are the latest new patch contributors across Gerrit?
* who are the most active reviewers per Gerrit repository?
* how long it takes on average until Gerrit patches get a first review?
We have https://wikimedia.biterg.io/ for that (which is mostly about
Gerrit), which recently received some new features, hence I felt that I
should share this on wikitech-l@ as a heads-up for anyone interested.
Its documentation at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics
now covers how you could gather the data in the examples listed above.
Any questions? Or do you miss something specific?
Feel free to bring up your thoughts on the talk page:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Community_metrics
Thanks a lot!

Hi All,
After writing to the VE surface from a Gadget, the page saves with just
empty '<br></br>' tags with no text. I could be missing something in my
config for VE or use of the model. Please can I get a solution for this?
The sample data and the segment which writes to the model is found here[1].
