  • NS_PROJECT: "Wikimedia UAE"

Also just in case, we meet all the criteria of Wikimedia wiki's policy

Okay, two notes:

  • The domain should be: ae.wikimedia.org, we use country's TLD for the chapters (or UGs that will promote to chapters eventually)
  • I don't think it's feasible to install that many extensions. We create it with default ones and then for each specific need, create a ticket to be installed if/when the need arises.

e.g. if the wiki is fishbowl, installing SpamBlacklist won't give you any benefit.

  • Yes, ok for ae.wikimedia.org
  • And ok for the extensions, but can you install Translate and VisualEditor please , the rest I will ask in different tickets

@Zabe it seems we were missing the "storage layer" task we usually get. Anyway, this is done on our side.

@BTullis @fnegri remains the views creation. Note, I'm not sure how to take account of an-redacteddb1001 in that whole procedure. Please let me know if I have to integrate it somewhere.

The other subtasks that normally get auto-created are also not here. Seems like a bug of the ticket-creating bot/script.

@ABran-WMF, @fnegri - I believe that we are ready to run the sre.wikireplicas.add-wiki cookbook for this wiki, which should make it available on both clouddb* and an-redacteddb1001 hosts.
Are you happy for us (myself and @Stevemunene ) to run that now, or is there anything else that either of you feels need be done first?

I believe that an-redacteddb1001 will be automatically included in the process, because it is included in the A:wikireplicas-all cumin alias.

btullis@cumin1002:~$ sudo cumin A:wikireplicas-all
10 hosts will be targeted:
an-redacteddb1001.eqiad.wmnet,clouddb[1013-1021].eqiad.wmnet

...but I'm keen that we all got a good view on what happens.

not sure how I can contribute to that last part but feel free to ping me if needed. You're good to go afaict :)

@BTullis I did run the cookbook last month after another wiki was added (T368066), do you want to handle this one? EDIT: ignore my message, I see you already did :)
