Made and verified backups and took a snapshot of the system disk
- 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.

Added 45 churches contacted in 2020
- Yesterday and today I added 45 churches contacted in late 2020 to Bibles and churches#Contacted. In 2020 I also mailed all the parliamentarians of the Finnish 2019-2023 session and also other political parties in Finland. Probably going to add those somewhere here.

Made and verified backups and took a snapshot.
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

Made and verified backups
- Making and verifying backups. Recent improvements were mostly made to ssfwiki:Synthetic human-like fakes (added contact information for the organizations) and ssfwiki:Glossary (sourced translations and linked the wikidata items in ongoing effort to make it more like a "Glossary and a dictionary")
- Done, also took an interim snapshot of the system disk

Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35.3
- Reverted MediaWiki to last Friday's state, upgraded the MediaWiki from 1.35.2 to 1.35.3 and performed backups and snapshotting. MediaWiki 1.35 is LTS, so going to stay on that. Going to recreate the few edits manually from a temporary wiki I have that contains the edits lost in the revert. Juho Kunsola (talk) 23:33, 21 July 2021 (CEST)

Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.36.1 - rolled back
Upgraded the wiki MediaWiki briefly to 1.36.1. This was rolled back to a backup from 2021-07-16
After the upgrade the system started throwing 5 deprecation notices about the mw:Extension:EmbedVideo's way of doing things.
The good folks at MediaWiki development did some restriction(s) on parser functions (See mw:Release_notes/1.36 for more info). EmbedVideo implements a parser function.
Searching for a solution to the problem it appears that YouTubes and Vimeos can be embedded via the mw:Extension:Widgets and installing and enabling the widgets mw:Extension:Widgets#Video/Audio_widgets. As a long term solution this would appear better, because EmbedVideo has previously been interfering with mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler, apparently due that they both take [[File:Filename.ext]]-syntax The TimedMediaHandler would have some good uses here in #SSF! wiki. There are some pieces in the Mediatheque that would benefit from timed text pointing out where it looks human and where it looks like a fake, which TimedMediaHandler implements.
As a temporary solution to suppress the deprecation messages I found "$wgDeprecationReleaseLimit = '1.x';
[to suppress all deprecation warnings added in version > '1.x']" as a solution in MediaWiki topic Is there a way to suppress Deprecated messages using PHPunit? Juho Kunsola (talk)

- 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. Juho Kunsola (talk) 19:02, 13 May 2021 (CEST)

- UPDATE: Trying to enable this leads into error messages being thrown because the extensions mw:Extension:EmbedVideo and mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler take the same syntax, which apparently lead to an error message being displayed.
- After installing mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler I am seeing the following "Notice: Undefined index: descriptionUrl in /var/www/stop-synthetic-filth.org/w/extensions/EmbedVideo/classes/media/AudioTransformOutput.php on line 95". Looking at how both mw:Extension:EmbedVideo and mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler implement [[File:Filename.ext]]-syntax for audio and video files, that's probably the culprit why this notice is served.

- Making and verifying backups and taking a snapshot of the system disk after enabling mw:Extension:HeadScript and then the Tidio chat on SSF! wiki. Also installed and configured mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler, which allows a wiki to display audio and video files in wiki pages, using the same syntax as for image files. This will be useful for the videos in the mediatheque. Juho Kunsola (talk) 21:36, 7 April 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. Juho Kunsola (talk) 16:10, 7 February 2021 (CET)

- Making and verifying backups after successfully added some novel contacting methods to the English language #SSF! wordpress. Also made a reasonable mobile menu by adapting this example and wrote a blog post about these improvements. Today I also optimized the #SSF! wiki biblical explainer for mobile users, who comprise majority of the traffic. Juho Kunsola (talk) 18:37, 22 January 2021 (CET)

- Looking at mw:Help:Tables because many visitors of Biblical explanation - The books of Daniel and Revelation are using a mobile device with around 360 px screen width and I originally did not think of mobile users, hence the table in there is a bit tight for mobile screens. I'm thinking of reorganizing it and figuring out a way to format the explainer-portion as 100% width of the table. Juho Kunsola (talk) 13:23, 22 January 2021 (CET)
- Got it sorted. Key was to set the columnspan correctly and just making the tables 2-columns wide instead of 4. Juho Kunsola (talk) 18:37, 22 January 2021 (CET)
