https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/MZMcBride My edits are being marked with HHVM revision tags. This is gross. It's a very internal implementation detail that's being permanently attached to my edits and I'm pretty sure I never even opted in.
The "Faster servers with HHVM" checkbox at <https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures> is unchecked. I guess I'm being opted in at a higher level.
(In reply to MZMcBride from comment #1) > I guess I'm being opted in at a higher level. Not exactly. testwiki is a special case: it is served by a single host on the cluster, mw1017. So unlike other wikis, it cannot be served using either HHVM or Zend: it's one or the other. We converted testwiki to HHVM early on (for obvious reasons), so all edits are tagged.

Not permanently: I've indicated elsewhere that the tag will be expunged once the migration is complete. We can keep this bug open as a way of tracking that commitment. I agree that it is ugly and bothersome. The tag was initially added at Mark Bergsma's request as a precaution, to help us clean up if we discover that HHVM is mangling edits somehow. We're also using it to investigate whether the improved response times correlate with increased productivity for new users, as documented <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:HHVM_newcomer_engagement_experiment>.
