October edit

  • Grantee had the first meeting (6 Oct 2021) with APaskulin (WMF) with the following notes:
    • Planning to finish by December, but an extension is possible, very common with grants
    • Remove jay@pc text from scripts
    • Remove - from scripts
    • Discuss on Maintenance_scripts/Sidebar
    • Discuss on Potential use of DynamicPageList
    • Use <h4> in usage section
    • Use Template:Codesample
    • Use Description text to wikitable
    • Meet every 20 days
    • Zulip chat in between meetings
    • For scripts that don't need 3000 bytes of documentation, it's ok to add less documentation if that is appropriate. The most important thing is having the correct amount of information on the page.

  • Grantee had the second meeting (28 Oct 2021) with APaskulin (WMF) with the following notes:
    • Demo on usage of DynamicPageList for maintenance script. See: mw:User:Jayprakash12345/Scripts
    • 25 scripts has been documented since the last meeting
    • Feedback gadget
    • This data was stored in WMF eventlogging data, stored for only 90 days
    • Linking to the talk page is ok for people who have feedback or want to ask a question, but this doesn't provide any way to leave generic positive feedback

  • Grantee documented the below scripts with the following details.

Is your final report due but you need more time?



Extension request edit

New end date edit

Feb 2021

Rationale edit

I have been COVID-19 infected with my family during the COVID-19 second wave in India. This delayed starting of the project. Now, I am on the path to finishing the project by Jan 2022. So I need time till Feb 2022 to submit the final report. Thank you-Jayprakash >>> Talk 19:45, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Jay, we have reviewed and approved your progress report. It is heartening to know that you have been able to meet all of your metrics despite facing hardships during the project period. Your request for extension has been approved. THasan (WMF) (talk) 19:22, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
Noting here that the new final report is due by 30 March 2022. Thanks! -- JTud (WMF), Grants Administrator (talk) 02:50, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
