Made and verified backups
- Made and verified backups. Lately I've been keeping busy with #SSFWIKI improvements. Past few days I added 45 churches that I contacted in late 2020 to ssfwiki:Bibles and churches#Contacted. I also mailed all the parliamentarians of the Finnish 2019-2023 parliamentary session and also other political parties in Finland and am going to add those somewhere.

Made and verified backups and took a snapshot
Making and verifying backups. Nothing much happening in Consumerium as I'm busy with improving the #SSFWIKI:
- Recent improvements were mostly made to ssfwiki:Mediatheque (I started on slimming up the Mediatheque by moving some key synthetic human-like fakes (e.g. made into the appearance and sound-like of Obama-like, Pres. Sauli Niinistö-like and Nixon-like to sub-pages and linking them to articles where needed
- I added the rest of the contact information for churches and associated organizations from my intrawiki into ssfwiki:Bibles and churches

Made and verified backups
- Making and verifying backups. Recent improvements were mostly made to ssfwiki:Synthetic human-like fakes (added contact information for the organizations) and ssfwiki:Glossary (sourced translations and linked the wikidata items in ongoing effort to make it more like a "Glossary and a dictionary")
- Done, also took an interim snapshot of the system disk

- Reverted server to last Friday's state, upgraded the MediaWiki from 1.35.2 to 1.35.3 and now performing backups and snapshotting. Revert was due to that 1.36.1 breaks (apparently and according to Reedy) mw:Wikibase. MediaWiki 1.35 is LTS, so going to stay on that. Jukeboksi (talk) 19:31, 21 July 2021 (CEST)

- Considering enabling the mw:Extension:VisualEditor that comes standard with MediaWiki 1.35 and above, as according to this Phabricator Ticket T274807 says that the bug that is stopping w:CAPTCHA from being shown to users of the mw:Extension:MobileFrontend when trying to edit does not exhibit in the VisualEditor. If it is so stable that it ships with standard MediaWiki, I guess it is safe to assume that it is a good quality implementation. Jukeboksi (talk) 19:01, 13 May 2021 (CEST)

The 50,000th edit in the Consumerium development wiki was the addition of really exciting research on the subject of COVID-19 and how cannabis helps against it. A friend's friend asked for these when I mentioned that I have some really interesting links on the subject of w:COVID-19 and w:cannabis, so I tweaked them into good format and in the process discovered a couple of new articles.

- Making and verifying backups and taking a snapshot of the system disk after enabling mw:Extension:HeadScript and then the Tidio chat on SSF! wiki. Also installed and configured mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler, which allows a wiki to display audio and video files in wiki pages, using the same syntax as for image files. This will be useful for the videos in the SSF! wiki mediatheque. Jukeboksi (talk) 21:35, 7 April 2021 (CEST)

Submitted the ticket MediaWiki/Tickets/Phabricator T274807 - No CAPTCHA from ConfirmEdit served for users that use MobileFrontend
Sunday 2021-02-07
- I was made aware today by a user on the Consumerium development wiki that there is a problem with invoking the mw:CAPTCHA for the mobile users, rendering mobile users unable to edit any pages. This is a semi-known issue in mw:Extension:MobileFrontend. There is an another minor issue to patch also. I'm looking for a solution or workaround to the problem for our mobile users and making backups now. Jukeboksi (talk) 16:08, 7 February 2021 (CET)
