We're not here so you can test your code. Go break some other site.

So this was probably worded a bit badly. I'm sure that @SamanthaNguyen's intention wasn't to have unstable, potentially broken code deployed on ShoutWiki.

cook879 added a comment to T60: Fix no logo Nimbus bug.

I feel like the ideal solution to this is to deal with it via CSS, even if we just do something where we detect no image we put a blank clear one in there. We can put in as many defaults as we like, but at the end of the day that doesn't stop users deleting the images and having the bug.

jack added a project to T60: Fix no logo Nimbus bug: Skins.

Perhaps we should implement a default logo of some kind in the Nimbus skin itself? Right now it uses $wgLogo (i.e. Wiki.png on ShoutWiki), but some skins (such as Quartz) use that skin's custom logo (Wiki_wide.png in Quartz) and fall back to $wgLogo if there's no appropriate, skin-specific custom logo...which actually doesn't handle the "$wgLogo doesn't exist" case at all. Maybe I'm wrong and this indeed is a real code bug that we could and should handle with CSS or something. Thoughts?

There's a document.write in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/EDSN/browse/master/DismissableSiteNotice.hooks.php , what do you think?

Jun 16 2016, 10:12 PM · Advertising, Skins
jack added a comment to T53: Investigate Metrolook ad placement.

So something somewhere is calling document.write, which isn't really supported in MediaWiki anymore and that's breaking things. This results in a warning logged into the browser's JS console: "Use of 'write' is deprecated. Use jQuery or mw.loader.load instead.". This traces back to the file /resources/src/mediawiki.legacy/wikibits.js.
I was able to reproduce the broken ad behavior in Opera 37.0.2178.32 under Windows 7.

The ad needs pushing further down the page. Overlaying that user menu on top of the ad is just calling for an invalid click activity strike.

jack added a comment to T53: Investigate Metrolook ad placement.

This looks like it could've been a temporary glitch due to whatever JavaScript loading issues or somesuch on Google's end, or missing JS dependencies; more details, especially on reproducibility, would help. There's a possibility that this bug is one that manifests only on certain platforms (Windows, maybe just Windows 7) when using a certain version of Google Chrome.

jack added a comment to T52: Help link in Metrolook sidebar takes you to MediaWiki's Help:Contents.

Some background info on this: a while ago (when? I can't remember and I'm too lazy to look it up) a bunch of system messages (which link to help pages) were changed to point to MediaWiki.org help pages by default. This makes sense (for most MediaWiki users), because MW.org's help pages are "licensed" into the public domain, are guaranteed to be at least somewhat up-to-date and that way users don't necessarily have to copy the pages to their local wiki(s).
Currently (as of MediaWiki 1.26.3) there are 11 matches for Special:MyLanguage and 28 matches for mediawiki.org in /languages/i18n/en.json. Of these, the following are "user-facing" and might need to be customized for ShoutWiki:

So the last time we updated our version of Metrolook was in {rSHWK3754}, in December 2015. I'm not sure if we'd need to update our version for the public launch -- no major changes have been done to the skin and AFAIK it's pretty feature-complete, but it'd be nice to be running the latest version, for i18n and whatnot.
