Revision as of 00:02, 17 October 2026 by Magent (talk | contribs) (Front-page work: a draft to adopt, a guest-name parser bug it exposed, and a stale category counter (via update-page on MediaWiki MCP Server))

What the people in this Mood have left each other to do. Kept by whoever notices; mark an item done: true rather than deleting it, so the next person can see it was finished and not merely dropped.

  • ☐
    Look at the preview, then merge rabbithole#2
    merge · justin
    Running in magent's preview wiki docroot, so same-origin exactly like production, against 1887 pages of real data. That link plays Moon Factory (5:56, ogg from the gateway) with the timeline editor in the frame. The bare demo page is at /rabbithole/pickipedia-demo.html — note its four built-in songs do NOT play, see below. PR is https://github.com/cryptograss/rabbithole/pull/2 — ten commits now, including the webamp fix. Merging deploys immediately (ansible clones main with force:yes). Went down with the containers on 2026-10-16 and is back up; it was a clean stop, which is the one thing unless-stopped does not restart. Started again, so the next reboot should bring it back.
  • ☐
    Look at the front page draft and say whether to adopt it
    review · justin
    Main Page has not been edited since 2026-04-11 and has been read 530,000 times. It opens with a photo, one headline from August, and then half a screen of nothing — Template:Latest News styles two columns flex:1 and never sets display:flex on the parent, so they were never columns. The draft puts the firehose in that empty space, makes the podcast list a query (13 shows, where the hand table named 9 and left 15 cells reading "..."), and adds a live count of what is actually in here. To adopt: Main Page becomes {{Main Page draft}}, or paste its contents in. One edit, and reversible.
  • ☐
    The guest-name parser is keeping the epithet
    review · magent
    Visible on the front page draft: "S7E7 Guitar Giant Bryan Sutton!" records Has topic "Guitar Giant Bryan Sutton", and "S7E5 Bluegrass Dynamo Stephen Mougin!" records "Bluegrass Dynamo Stephen Mougin". Both are redlinks that will never be written, and they split the count — Bryan Sutton shows 5 episodes on the most-wanted list while a sixth sits under the epithet. Bluegrass BKLYN titles all have this shape, so it is one pattern on that show's page, not a code change. Fixing it needs a re-import of those episodes, which is behind the import hold below.
  • ☐
    Merge 9f83ab7 and c13f2e8 — the two most-wanted tools
    merge · justin
    9f83ab7 is tools/rabbithole-most-wanted.py, the tool behind the six people below. c13f2e8 adds --top to tools/podcast-most-wanted.py, which prints the short list the front page transcludes from Template:Most wanted/top. Both read the live wiki and run fine unmerged.
  • ☐
    Special:Categories is reporting numbers that are not true
    deploy · justin
    The category table counters have drifted badly: Leaderboards says 8,265 members and has 4; Musicians says 317 and has 51; Blue Railroad V2 Tokens says 591. Members and SMW agree with each other, so it is the denormalised cat_pages counter, not the content. Nothing on the front page uses it — the draft counts with #ask for exactly this reason — but Special:Categories is wrong in public. The fix is maintenance/recountCategories.php, which is a production run and so belongs in the deployment automation, not in a shell on the box.
  • ☐
    Drop or fix the four hard-coded demo songs
    edit · magent
    pickipedia-demo.html carries four songs with audioFile "/audio/August.flac" and friends — absolute paths from the origin root, 404 in the preview and 404 in production. Only ?track=<cid> has real audio. The dropdown offers four tracks that cannot play; that is worse than offering none.
  • ☐
    Fill the Release to Studio Cut edge so playback lights up
    review · magent
    Every /Metadata page reads timeline {} and ensemble {}, so a track plays but nothing highlights — no parts, no soloists, no ensemble cards. That is the missing edge from the Mood: ensemble should be read from the cut's Has performer / Has instrument subobjects rather than duplicated into the YAML. Blocked on the record to album-CID decision.
  • ☐
    Write the six people Rabbithole would strand
    edit · anyone
    David Grier (2 cuts), Ice Quilitz (2), Jeff Fehlauer (2), John Mailander (2), Kaitlyn Raitz (2), Luna Lavender (1). Six pages unblocks a third of the catalogue. tools/rabbithole-most-wanted.py prints the current list with instruments and bandmates. Clear these before Rabbithole goes out.
  • ☐
    Decide the remaster / remix / overdub line
    decision · justin
    The sharp case is the melodica overdub on 4masks — somebody played something new, later, in another room. The line may be "did the set of players change?" rather than anything about masters. Parked deliberately.
  • ☐
    Delete Template:Studio track and Template:Studio track/testcases
    edit · justin
    The wiki's only script error. Needs a delete button; the bot cannot delete.
  • ☐
    Make the wiki pane a same-origin fetch panel with pushState
    review · magent
    Settled 2026-10-11: no iframe. The click that already sets .lead also pushState's the wiki URL, so the address bar reads /wiki/Cory_Walker, the page never reloads and the audio never stops. Blocked on rabbithole#2.
  • ☐
    Self-host the remaining third-party loads on the rabbithole shell
    edit · magent
    Webamp is vendored now because it was broken. Still on CDNs: packery and js-yaml (jsdelivr) and the Google Fonts faces (Inter, VT323). All parse today, but they are the same class of dependency that just killed the player, and they make every listener's browser announce itself to a CDN.
  • ☐
    Release the held podcast import — 240 pages would change, limit is 50
    review · magent
    Not broken, held by its own change budget. Nothing written since 2026-10-09T04:17Z, confirmed by page history. Sample a few diffs before releasing with --max-changes; if they are pickipedia#133 re-rendering escapes correctly, release once rather than hunt a bug.

    Merge and deploy myfork/production — two podcast-importer fixes
    merge · justin
    Merged as 3238096 and deployed. Unexercised until the import hold clears.
  • ☑
    Watch the Creek Freak title for a flip-flop
    review · magent
    Closed, no action. The single space is MediaWiki's own page-title normalisation, which the importer reads back and writes down. A one-time convergence, not an oscillation.
