If you are an interface administrator and you would like to update AFCH's code on Wikipedia to match the code located at the official GitHub repository (basically deploying approved patches to production), follow this work instruction.

To update AFCH to its latest version onwiki, you need to do the following.

Method 1

• Be an interface administrator
• Visit https://gadget-deploy.toolforge.org/
• Pick the appropriate gadget from the dropdown
• Click "Deploy to English Wikipedia"
• An OAuth prompt will appear. Click "Allow"
• When it's done, analyze the diffs and make sure there weren't any bugs.

Method 2

• Be an interface administrator
• Navigate to your forked origin repo on github.com, and sync it with the upstream fork. (You can skip this if your origin is the gadget repo itself and not a fork.)
• git checkout master
• git pull
• npm ci
• Create a Special:BotPasswords with permissions to write to the MediaWiki namespace.
• Make sure you've created a scripts/credentials.json file with your bot password. Example

  • {
    	"site": "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php",
    	"username": "Your username@Bot task",
    	"password": "Your password"
    }
    

• npm run deploy
• When it's done, analyze the diffs and make sure there weren't any bugs.
