Daniel, Thank you for the update. More importantly thank you and everyone involved for all the hard work and effort to get Wikivoyage up and running. All the work is very much appreciated. Thanks, Xltel (T. Holland) -----Original Message----- From: wikivoyage-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:wikivoyage-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Zahn Sent: Friday, November 09, 2012 2:47 PM To: Wikivoyage Mailing List Subject: Re: [Wikivoyage-l] Update and Disclaimer Hi all, let me update you quickly on the migration progress: - during last night and this morning (US Pacific time) we have successfully finished all database dump imports for the initial 7 languages. en, de, sv, ru, it, nl, fr ("en" was obviously the largest weighing in at ~47GB .sql data that had to be imported into 8 servers) - we have enabled the wikis in Apache and Wikimedia configs for a QA check that is currently still non-public, but we could confirm that logins and edits work and see the actual wikis - currently that QA phase is on-going and a few glitches like an issue with "RelatedSites" are being worked on You will hear from us again soon, Thank you for your continued patience, Daniel _______________________________________________ Wikivoyage-l mailing list Wikivoyage-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikivoyage-l

The most useful procedure for reporting bugs is: 1) Create an account on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ 2) Follow the "Enter a bug report" link 3) Pick "Wikimedia" as a product, and "General" as the component unless a more specific component is applicable 4) Enter a description and file the bug 5) Add bug 41184 in the "Blocks" section (this will only appear once the bug is created). This will add it to the tracking bug and notify various folks who are working on the migration. Reporting in the lounges/pubs is less useful because it's harder to monitor, but if you see folks posting issues there, please help guide them towards Bugzilla. I recommend importing this template: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Tracked which is handy to link on-wiki discussions to relevant bugs. -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

One bad news is that wikivoyage-old.org still uses wts.wikivoyage.org as its image repository. Therefore, no images are displayed there. Roland, can you fix this? -Alexander

We were not able to identify other accounts with this issue. Roland, we renamed the account and you should be able to log in and edit as User:Unger now. Let us know if it works for you.

Hi everyone, it's my honor to announce we have gone LIVE.! DNS has been switched to point to WMF Loadbalancers earlier this morning (PST). That was the big switch. Since then several smaller and larger (like Roland's account, Interwiki links / maps, ..) issues on the wikis have been sorted out by a little bit larger group of people and new bugs have been reported on Bugzilla and acte upon. One issue that kept us from announcing the switch earlier was that at first the generation of the "portal page "(www.) was broken, and had to be adjusted to the way those pages are generated on wmf projects. You can now login and edit. :) You can also report bugs of course.:) Enjoy the new wikis! For the technically inclined, you can see in detail what we are doing in places like: http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/SAL https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/project:operations/apache-config,n,z ..and of course on IRC. Expect another official announcement mail (most likely from Erik) later, P.S. (Before the DNS switch we lowered the TTL to 6 minutes in case we had to go back, just now i raised that back to the regular 1h and therefore declaring the switch period over for now ) P.S 2. Thank you all, especially Reedy and Chris for a ton of "really rapid prototyping" on Apache and WMF configs right after switching:) Best regards, Daniel

Remember the old servers are NOT down in any way incl. all images still to be transferred. Whenever you want to compare something to how it was before or even the worst cases of problems you can always just insert "-old" into your current URL. Have fun!
