We should probably decide what we want the logo dropdown to contain and configure it by default that a wiki can upload its own image for that. I'd assume we want the wiki and then Hub?

lewiscawte added a comment to T168: Consider using the Ponder module on Phabricator.

Instead of handling two ticketing applications at once (OsTicket and Phabricator), we'd most likely only have to use Phabricator more, potentially meaning easier to track things
Pofenrially this could also prevent less confusion for the end user as-well, as in the end-user doesn't have to figure out when to use Phabricator and when to use OsTicket. Since currently ShoutWiki uses two applications for ticket management

lewiscawte added a comment to T169: ShoutWiki should have a staff tool for viewing the info of a wiki.

To repeat and slightly expand on what I said on IRC... most of the information on a wiki info page would not be easy to come by, it's fragmented across various different locations (user_groups table, wiki_list/settings, logs and various other places) and often out of date - particularly in case of wiki_settings/wiki_list (and don't get me started on the fact the database in its current form is probably the worst place to store that information right now)

I'll throw in my favorite solution, which Skizzerz proposed the last time I spoke to him about this: Let's Encrypt SSL certificates for <lang code>.*.shoutwiki.com, i.e. fi.*.shoutwiki.com (possibly relevant: this StackOverflow question). Looking at /trunk/languages/i18n/, there are currently 371 files in there so it would mean about the same amount of SSL certificates, which admittedly is somewhat of an ops nightmare, but the renewal of Let's Encrypt certificates can be automated and I'm sure someone already made a script for that.
I would imagine that this is a solution that'll be painful to implement initially but which wouldn't need too much maintenance after that and it would allow us to keep the current URL structure.

Can you provide further details on what wiki, browser and operating system you were using? It's also worth noting that there's an issue with sessions (T144) so can you try this again, ensuring it's not just because you are being logged out?

So it would appear that somewhere in the upgrade, AbuseFilter rights got unassigned (presumably by default upstream) and therefore resulting in sysops not having them. This, by way of array_merge, means staff also do not have.

This works for me. One thing I did notice earlier is that I had to completely clear all of my cookies for ShoutWiki to be able to even login, so there's definitely an issue with cookies somewhere although as far as I can work out it's a case of clearing them for everyone.
