Update the interwiki cache
The interwiki cache is a cache of the interwiki map page at Meta-Wiki, which maps interwiki prefixes to URLs. Changes to the Meta-Wiki page have no effect until the cache has been updated by a deployer, e.g. during a backport window.
How to update
- SSH to the deployment server:
deployment.eqiad.wmnet - Go to the MediaWiki deployment directory:
cd /srv/mediawiki-staging/ - Run:
scap update-interwiki-cache - This should have left some uncommitted changes in the repository:
git status,git diffetc. - Get these changes on Gerrit, for instance by committing and pushing them here:
git commit -a -m 'Update interwiki map' -m 'Bug: Txxxxxx'git push origin @:refs/for/master- Enter your Gerrit user name, and an HTTP password
- You could also upload the change some other way, e.g. by rsyncing
deployment.eqiad.wmnet:/srv/mediawiki-staging/wmf-config/interwiki.phpto your local config checkout and committing there.
- Review the changes on Gerrit; wipe them from the deployment server in the meantime:
git reset --hard @{u} - If the changes look okay, deploy them as normal, e.g. with
scap backport. - Update m:Interwiki map/updated
