 hexmode | I can remove your message but not pin it: | 21:17:06 |

| grin | ah, now I see it | 22:05:14 |
| grin | the problem is { "room_version": 1 } | 22:05:39 |
| grin | the current version is v5. room upgrade is a relatively painless process, if you don't have much customisation (server_acls, bans, bots); there is no automatic user migration, but the tombstone at the end of the room directs everyone to the new room. | 22:08:04 |
| grin | it's a good idea anyway since new room versions support lots of functions useful for everyday usage | 22:08:47 |
| grin | hexmode: cicalese thats the reason it doesn't work here. | 22:10:01 |
| hexmode | I'm fine with upgrading, but... how? | 22:15:59 |
| hexmode | I guess we're having early-adopter pains | 22:16:20 |

| grin | I can tell you later, but basically first you decide whether you are fine with the actual power structure or not. If it's fine then tell the people here that what's gonna happen, they have to join the new room in the link later and set again when they want to get the notifications (mention only, all, none). | 09:24:11 |
| grin | the command is simply /upgraderoom 5 | 09:24:24 |
| grin | if you want to change the power structure then you create the new room first, set everything you like then upgrade shall be to tell people to please join the new room, and the tombstone (room move sign) can be manually put here, for example if you ask me nicely ;) | 09:25:32 |
| grin | upgraderoom will create the new room, copy the settings, then put here a tombtone, eg. a link telling this room has been upgraded, click here to join the new, and blocks new messages here. | 09:26:23 |

| grin | you can try how it goes by creating a new room for you, then invite a few people, upgrade and see what happens. :-) | 09:27:11 |
| cicalese | grin: Thanks for the instructions and advice! hexmode: shall we try it in a test room as grin suggests? | 13:14:23 |
| cicalese | @room Do you know of anybody who still has users that need to access their wikis with IE6 or IE7? Or do you have thoughts for or against dropping basic compatibility and security support for IE6 and IE7 in MediaWiki? If so, please participate in the discussion at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232563#5485923 or let me know here and I will aggregate responses. Thanks! | 13:17:51 |

At one point I feel like many people in the Intelligence Community were using older browsers to access Intellipedia and other sites. I would hope that is no longer the case. | 14:22:54 |
| cicalese | Thank you, thomasoneill. That was my understanding as well, also for some other government sites, but I too hope that is no longer the case. Could you please add that question to the agenda for your community of practice meeting? | 14:27:36 |
| hexmode | I would say no one could possibly be using IE6 in the government, but then I remember some nukes still need 8 inch floppies. | 14:34:21 |

grin: Thanks for the instructions and advice! hexmode: shall we try it in a test room as grin suggests? yes, let's. grin: we're ready. | 14:36:31 |
| hexmode | cicalese: Actually, what do you think of trying the room upgrade on #mwstake-random:matrix.org to see how it works | 14:50:29 |
| hexmode | grin: ok, it worked, but we can't pin messages still in #mwstake-random:matrix.org | 14:59:11 |
| hexmode | Matrix Traveler (bot): how are you? | 15:00:49 |
| hexmode | also, why? | 15:01:15 |
