Making and verifying backups and taking a snapshot in preparation of trying out the recently found fix for the REST communication 404s that Visual Editor has been causing for many. At least in one particular case it turned out to be an Apache2 rewrite configuration issue. Will try it out in my private test wiki and if it works there then I'll enable it in an another wiki and if that works then probably roll out the Visual Editor to all wikis, as that will enable also mobile users to edit the wiki (an CAPTCHA issue of long standing, pointed out by a Consumerium.org development wiki user). See ciumd:Tickets and feature request#Tickets under observation for general outline of the situation.

Making and verifying backups after substantial additions to ciumd:User:Jukeboksi/Wiki.study/Natural therapeutics#Alzheimer's, which I have been preparing since Saturday. I hope to get it soon to good shape in order to send to (ex) President Martti Ahtisaari of Finland, who has unfortunately come down with Alzheimer's disease.

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.

I've been 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

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) 19:02, 13 May 2021 (CEST)

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) 16:10, 7 February 2021 (CET)
