== My late ww11 father records were restricted after searching 7 years. So still not listed . So I wanted to do a Wikipedia in his name. He passed away at early age. They don’t want to allow it? ==

This claim is because of me searching so long . He passed away in 1965 and later our home burned, So no records, still not listed. He was a sergeant and its took me years to get here. Am I being petty? [[User:Ww11sergeantbeam|Ww11sergeantbeam]] ([[User talk:Ww11sergeantbeam|talk]]) 21:24, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

== Avoid colliding with a check process ==
{{tracked|T317169}}
::<blockquote>''as this seems extremely uncontroversial''</blockquote>
::Hi, legal team requires to make sure all wikis have the right legal text linked. We (operations) maintain an automated check that alerts when the expected text doesn't match the returned text. While I agree that adding of a "the" is not controversial at all, the change started alerting us (ops). I wonder how we could make this more streamlined so editors have the flexibility to modify it, legal keeps being happy, plus we can maintain an automated check making sure the text is there. Similar issues happened when [[:MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyright|Wikimedia-copyright]] was edited. Could you {{ping|xaosflux}} (or some other admin) please join the discussion at {{phab|T317169}} to find the procedure or technical measure that works better for everyone: e.g. setup some kind of coordination or automatic system (e.g. minimal amount of change allowed before alerting) to handle that? Maybe the same exact text could be agreed among all wiki communities? Maybe just pinging a system administrator to update the check? I think we are all open to any solution that both ops, legal and the community agrees with, to make sure a correct text is always present. 0:-). Regards. --[[User:Jynus|jynus]] ([[User talk:Jynus|talk]]) 11:46, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
:::Apologies for the account confusion. I used my personal account to answer, while we are encouraged to use our WMF accounts for non-regular-editing, WMF-related matters. The comment above was done by me in my work as WMF Site Reliability Engineer. Regards. --[[User:JCrespo (WMF)|JCrespo (WMF)]] ([[User talk:JCrespo (WMF)|talk]]) 12:20, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
::::@[[User:JCrespo (WMF)|JCrespo (WMF)]] can you link to the procedure for updating your alert, and what on-wiki pages it pertains to? We certainly can add a workflow step for our project admins to complete the procedure. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 14:12, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
:::::So this is still an open question, there is no yet procedure at all- that is why I want to consult both the community and legal to see how we can do it right. So far the check is implemented at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/868037/2/modules/icinga/files/check_legal_html.py with a simplistic regular expression.
:::::One option (very manual) would be to open a ticket when the resulting HTML output changes effectively so we can update the alerting code (we could even link that as a comment). Other would be to check for only more generic patterns (if legal approves) so no pinging is needed every time. That is why my intention was to start a discussion on the best way to handle this for each of us 3 (technical solution, editors, legal requirements) to ensure the check still exists, but avoiding false positives. --[[User:JCrespo (WMF)|JCrespo (WMF)]] ([[User talk:JCrespo (WMF)|talk]]) 15:13, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
::::::{{ping|xaosflux}} I want to repeat on wiki what I said on the ticket linked above. Thank you a lot for your feedback, as it was key to understand the flaws of the existing tooling (lack of content checking) and improve it so that, thanks to legal's flexibility, it can be more or less be freely edited in the future without removing any must-have section. Thank you a lot. I added a section to the check's documentation at [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Check_legal_html#As_part_of_the_wiki_admin_team/editing_community] which basically is "you shouldn't worry about the check at all", and just in the infrequent case legal has complains you try to help. Thank you again, and happy editing! :-) --[[User:JCrespo (WMF)|JCrespo (WMF)]] ([[User talk:JCrespo (WMF)|talk]]) 17:23, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
