Description
We have set alert threshold who block the publishing of ZIM files as soon as they're exceeded. However, a great many wikis are evolving rapidly, and having such large changes when updates are run every quarter is bound to trigger alerts (which we can't verify as we lack the adequate tooling). There is no way to manually inspect hundreds of ZIM files (200 for media count only in August).
I suggest that we create different tiers for alerts:
- Tier 1 (orange): those that are flagged (media count, article count, bad metadata, flavour mismatch) but do not prevent publishing;
- Tier 2 (red): for zimcheck error and bad language tags, which would prevent publishing.
Tier 1 files would still be flagged, but for casual inspection only.
