Hi all,

If you use the mwscript-k8s tool to launch MediaWiki maintenance scripts on
Kubernetes at WMF, this message is relevant to you.


*What is changing?*

In the month of October, production MediaWiki workloads at WMF will migrate
from PHP 8.1 to 8.3. This includes maintenance scripts launched with the
mwscript-k8s tool.

In advance of that change, which will occur at a future date to be
announced, we have made 8.3 available on an opt-in basis for testing
purposes.

If you would like to test your scripts on 8.3 ahead of time, you can now
provide the --php_version=8.3 flag to the mwscript-k8s tool.



*What should I do if I encounter compatibility issues using PHP 8.3?*
Please open a sub-task of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T401855 to
report the issue, so that it can be fixed.


*What about MediaWiki on PHP 8.3 more generally?*

You can access a (debug) deployment of MediaWiki running 8.3 using
WikimediaDebug (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikimediaDebug) by
selecting one of the "next" backends (e.g., "k8s-mwdebug-next") available
in the browser extension.


Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns, either to me
directly, on this thread, or via a task on Phabricator.

Many thanks,
Scott French
Service Ops SRE
