Deployments
This page tracks upcoming deployments of software to the Wikimedia Foundation servers .
Getting started
Ensure you joined the
#wikimedia-operations
connect
IRC channel as all deployment-related communications happen there.
If you need help, contact
Release Engineering
on IRC at
#wikimedia-releng
connect
; and ping Tyler (
thcipriani
).
- MediaWiki is deployed weekly through the Deployment Train . Other services follow their own schedule.
- Times are pinned to San Francisco , thus the UTC time changes in March and November per DST .
-
Prefer regular
Backport windows
over adding new windows. To request deployment of a config change or backport, add your username and Gerrit URL to one of the backport windows on this page. You must be online in #wikimedia-operations on IRC during your deployment and install
WikimediaDebug
ahead of time. The #wikimedia-operations channel requires you to
register your nickname
before you can join.
- You can use the backport scheduling tool to more easily edit this page:
-
Tasks that meet
Inclusion criteria
require their own windows
, which includes long-running tasks.
Schedule more time
than you think you need to account for delays and set backs, we recommend one hour for most tasks.
-
To create or modify a recurring deploy window, send a patchset to
deployments-calendar.yaml file
in
repos/releng/release.git. - To create an one-off window, simply edit this page accordingly
- Announce changes to the ops mailing list ahead of time if you anticipate or are uncertain about noticeable impacts to database load, HTTP caching, or the introduction of new cookies.
- Announce deployments of major features to the community via Tech News and/or via other Product communication channels .
-
To create or modify a recurring deploy window, send a patchset to
deployments-calendar.yaml file
in
- Something went wrong? See Incident response . Is there a user-impacting problem? Communicate in the #wikimedia-operations connect IRC channel. If there is a Phabricator task, ensure #Wikimedia-Incident is tagged, and consider setting the Unbreak Now priority.

This may not include one-off windows. If there are differences, then the wiki page is canonical and correct .
