This is a summary of this week's deployment of the 1.37.0-wmf.6 branch
of MediaWiki and its extensions (also known as "the train"). The
primary person in charge this week is Antoine Musso, with Ahmon Dancy
as backup, both from the Release Engineering team.

The summary task for this week is

The new version is running all sites. There were a total of four
blockers reported and resolved:

- T282825 - PHP Deprecated: Use of RevisionListBase::$title was deprecated
in MediaWiki 1.37. [Called from RevDelRevisionItem::getHTML]
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T282825

- T283167 - InvalidArgumentException: Unable to normalize the provided
actor name x.y.z.v/16
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T283167

- T283170 - Special:RecentChanges in it.wikiversity dies with an internal
error
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T283170

- T283196 - TypeError: Argument 2 passed to UploadStash::__construct() must
implement interface MediaWiki\User\UserIdentity or be null, boolean given,
called in
/srv/mediawiki/php-1.37.0-wmf.6/includes/upload/UploadFromStash.php on line

As usual, a whole bunch of people helped to find, triage, analyze,
fix, or work around problems this. Release Engineering thanks
everyone, without help we wouldn't be able to deploy MediaWiki.
