Community Wishlist Survey 2020/Wikisource/Repair Index finder

Random proposal ►◄ Wikisource  The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Repair Index finder

• Problem: It's rather similar to the first proposal on this page; that is, for at least a month, the Index finding thingy is broken; whatever title you put in it, it says something along the lines of "The index finder is broken. Sorry for the inconvenience." (This is just from memory!) It also gives a list of indexes, from the largest to the smallest. The compromise I at any rate am using now is the index-finder installed in the search engine.
• Who would benefit: Everybody who wants to find an index.
• Proposed solution: Somebody who has a good knowledge about bugs? I'm not good at wikicode!
• More comments: Excuses for any vague terminology - I am writing via mobile.
• Phabricator tickets: task T232710

Discussion

• Orlando the Cat, it looks like the bug was fixed, as per the associated Phabricator ticket. Can you confirm if this is still a problem? Thanks! --IFried (WMF) (talk) 22:39, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

  IFired {WMF), unfortunately it doesn't appear to have been fixed - a search for "Chesterton" here still says "The search engine does not work. Sorry for the inconvenience." Orlando the Cat (talk) 03:53, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

  Orlando the Cat, thanks for getting back to us! --IFried (WMF) (talk) 18:01, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

  @IFried (WMF): Has there been any deploys since November 12? Judging by Phabricator the bug looks like it's fixed, but may not have been deployed yet. --Xover (talk) 12:11, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

  Xover Good catch. In that case, Orlando the Cat, I'm pinging you again to confirm if this is still a problem. It looks like the fix may have been deployed to production on 11/26. Thanks! --IFried (WMF) (talk) 18:30, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

  IFried (WMF): The link Orlando posted above still shows the error message mentioned. --Xover (talk) 18:53, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

  Xover: Noted. thanks for looking into this and letting me know! --IFried (WMF) (talk) 16:58, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

  @IFried (WMF) and Orlando the Cat: It looks like the fix for phab:T232710 is in MediaWiki 1.35/wmf.8 which is scheduled for deployment this Wednesday, December 4 (according to the latest Tech News). --Xover (talk) 17:31, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
