Thank you for the reminder! I will work to set up votewiki this afternoon or tomorrow.

@Ajraddatz and @Einsbor voting period is now over. Please review the votes in an effort to identify (a) votes that may submitted by a sock, or (b) votes that may be registered using a proxy IP. Both of these are disallowed. If you have questions that would involve non-public information (e.g. if you need me to run a CU on a specific IP or user) please either reach to me via Special:EmailUser/Huji or create a security Task on Phab and add me to it. Please acknowledge my message here so we know you are starting to work on this.

@Huji How urgent is the switch to en? Is there any other plan on using votewiki soon, or can it wait for next week?

@Urbanecm The switch to en has to be done prior to the 2019 enwiki ArbCom election. The self-nomination period for that election ends on Nov 12, and voting starts Nov 19, so the hard deadline can be Nov 12.

But, I think the switch should be done now regardless. The scrutineers would have to check our votes and while they can change their interface language to English via Special:Preferences, it is just that much easier if the interface language is already in English. Besides, there is absolutely no gain in keeping the interface in Persian anymore.

This doesn't need to be SWATed and can wait for a normal deployment train (so, merge now and it'll be deployed on Monday, I guess?)

There's no train for config. I think I can deploy it now.

Oh, I did not know that. Thanks x2

Hello, I have no access to CU information on votewiki. Is this intentional?

Perhaps you need to be an admin of the election. @Huji is that correct? If so I can just add you to the election.

@Ajraddatz Please make sure that you are logged in and then visit this page. The CU information should be there. You are already an admin of the election (SecurePoll:746) and have electionadmin userright.

Aha, good looking out :)

I have the electionadmin userright, but I think I need to be added as an admin for that specific campaign before I can see that data. I only see time, username, and domain at the moment.

I see full CU data, checked them. If, as previously, doubled votes will be striked automatically, I finished finished checks.

Repeated votes are automatically taken care of by SecurePoll itself. All we ask the scrutineers to do is to look at the IP and UA data and try to identify potential socks, and also check the IPs to make sure neither is a proxy (including VPN, HTTP/SOCKS, etc.)

@jrbs Could you please add @Ajraddatz as an admin of the election through the database?

@Ajraddatz you seem to be an electionadmin already, and have election admin rights for that election already as well. It baffles me why you cannot see the correct output. Perhaps you and @Einsbor can communicate privately on this? Send a screenshot and see if he/she also sees the page the same way or not?

Today is the "tally day", based on our original election calendar. I know @Einsbor does not check Phab regularly, so I emailed him to ask him if he checked to make sure none of the votes were given through proxy/VPN. If so, I think we should run the tally. There are two scrutineers because of redundancy and distribution of work, not because we need both to review every vote. I will keep you posted as soon as I hear from Einsbor.

I checked, it seems fine for me. I think we can perform a tally.

Great. Let's move on to the next step.

I think I was told last time that the tally cannot be run on wiki (the Shulze model is a bit involved, and PHP will run out of time). @jrbs is that so, and if yes, do you have to run the tally via commend line?

That is not correct. Any election admin (including @Einsbor and @jrbs) should be able to run the tally using https://vote.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll.

Please upload the results to Phabricator.

Oh, good to know. I'm not sure why I was under the wrong impression. It would be great if someone would run the tally today.

Hopefully this is what you need: P9601, P9602

For the record, I ran the same script and got (surprise!) the same output.

@Huji, is this what you need or would you like something else from me?

No!

The results should be something like

Yes, that is the correct output. Somehow it did not register for 4nn1l2 that these are the same format as what he attached.

I will incorporate these into our election page on fawiki. It is expected that the scrutineers check the page (I will give you the link) and confirm that I transcribed the results correctly. That will officiate the results of the election.

This view is usually obtained by:

1. Saving the HTML results to your system and opening them in a web browser
2. Copying the table and pasting it into a spreadsheet program
3. Copying that and pasting into VisualEditor

Or similar, I forget the exact process :)

Weird!

@Huji Do you need some special permission (or level of access) to view the files (i.e. are they private or something)?

This is what I (an ordinary Phabricator user) see:

Oh right, that would do it :) they are WMF-NDA only, with Huji as a subscriber.

I cannot think of a reason why P9601 should not be public. The exact same information is what we will be putting on wiki.

I am making the tables using a mixture of regular expression and manual work.

I added @4nn1l2 as a subscriber so he should now be able to see it. No comment on its publicness, though I would wait until the results are posted officially, personally.

Once the scrutineers confirm that the results on fawiki match the tallies, we can close this task. And by "confirm" I mean we would need them to add their signature to the bottom of that page.

For the record, I uploaded the results privately because I wasn't sure if they aren't to be published at a later day or something like this.

@Urbanecm can I ask you to make it public? (I can too, but I feel like I shouldn't go around you)
