https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=sitematrix&format=json is WMF-specific, but it contains a complete mapping of dbnames to urls for all WMF sites. We should either have a parsoid localsettings option to read this at server startup (optional, non wmf installs won't want it), or else write a simple tool to generate our default list of wikis (languages at least) statically by querying this. (And then something to notify us when our list is out of date?) This will help ensure that we follow the creation of new wikis promptly (instead of requiring patches like https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/172995 ). Currently parsoid only is configured with the 'public' wikis in the sitematrix, and the deploy:conf/wmf/localsettings.js contains definitions of the private wikis. Once we add the 'parsoidConfig.fetchWMF=true' option to localsettings, we can probably remove this distinction.
Some commentary: (03:30:34 PM) legoktm: cscott: action=sitematrix&format=json ? (03:30:36 PM) legoktm: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=sitematrix (03:30:37 PM) legoktm: it's WMF-specific though (03:32:05 PM) cscott-free: legoktm: what does 'closed' mean in that output? (03:32:28 PM) legoktm: no one can edit the wiki except for stewards (03:32:50 PM) legoktm: https://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (03:34:09 PM) cscott-free: i see it includes 'private' wikis as well. (03:34:23 PM) cscott-free: what does 'fishbowl' mean? (03:34:37 PM) legoktm: public, but editing is restricted to people with accounts (03:34:42 PM) legoktm: and account creation is also restricted (03:34:51 PM) legoktm: http://meatballwiki.org/wiki/FishBowl :)
