Fascinating to see the maps and aerial photos of the site, and to get a bit of an impromptu tour of the [[freo:Knowle\|Knowle]] and [[freo:Ron Doig Block\|Ron Doig Block]]. We were trying to find the location of Curley's famous drinking fountain, but it looks like it might've been in the old main entrance to the Ron Doig Block, which has been removed to make way for car parking.

			There are so many connections to Fremantle in the museum's collection (although really it's mostly about medical topics and people, and not really local history). I want to go back and dig more into things like the Princess May school's involvement in the children's hospital, and get copies of some of the Board minutes relating to Curley.

			I've probably rambled about it before, but the one real strength I think in small archives like this is in their ability to share material with others. It shares the knowledge, but also the burden of digital preservation, in a way that centralised systems do not (even things like Wikimedia Commons that have fully open contributions).

[[freo:History Buffs|We]] had a good time at the [[freo:Fremantle Hospital Museum|Fremantle Hospital Museum]] today.
It takes up the entirety of N Block it seems, although we didn't really get to look at many of the exhibits
because we were focussed on checking out Curley Molyneux's big plaque and then mostly with talking with the volunteer archivists who run the place.
They are amazing! It's a huge collection, and they're cataloguing and digitising all of it, as well as writing up stories to display with the exhibits.

Composer won't install packages hosted on Gerrit

When installing MediaWiki extensions with Composer,
it can fail for extensions that are hosted on Gerrit.
For example, here [[mw:Extension:PluggableAuth|PluggableAuth]]
is not able to be cloned from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/PluggableAuth
and is prompting for user credentials:

<syntaxhighlight lang=console>
$ composer update -o --no-dev
Composer could not detect the root package (mediawiki/core) version, defaulting to '1.0.0'. See https://getcomposer.org/root-version
> MediaWiki\Composer\VersionChecker::onEvent
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Nothing to modify in lock file
Installing dependencies from lock file
Package operations: 50 installs, 6 updates, 7 removals
- Syncing mediawiki/pluggable-auth (7.5.0) into cache
Authentication required (gerrit.wikimedia.org):
Username:
</syntaxhighlight>

Providing a username and password here won't help, because the issue is that Varnish is returning 403:

<syntaxhighlight lang=console>
$ curl -sI https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/PluggableAuth
HTTP/2 403
date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 02:59:51 GMT
server: Varnish
…
</syntaxhighlight>

The fix is to conform to the [https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Wikimedia_Foundation_User-Agent_Policy WMF user agent policy], by setting Git's {{code|userAgent}} to something that identifies you (in {{code|.gitconfig}}):

<syntaxhighlight lang=ini>
[http]
userAgent = "Your Wiki (you@example.org)"
</syntaxhighlight>

Then the {{code|composer update}} works fine.
