Whilst not a member of SRE; it is very unlikely that this would be approved given the big warning at the top of the extension regarding potential security issues. Even more so without anyone to security review it.

Original_Authority added a comment to T10961: DataDump (static) download timeout at exactly 5 minutes.

I'm just going to give my two cents here, but increasing the timeout for NGINX is probably not the best idea. Miraheze's resources are already stretched thin and increasing the time that connections are left open would only add to the strain on the servers for probably something little wikis will actually need to utilise. It would probably be more worthwile getting a steward to provide the dump rather than all of the potential side effects of raising the timeout limit.

The static server just serves files, right? How does leaving connections open longer increase strain on the server? Please explain.

This doesn't appear to be a Miraheze isolated incident, but definitely seems to be something that changed between 1.39 and 1.39.1. I'm running CW and can confirm the same behaviour happens. When a wiki is created, I get a success message, and everything seems to be alright. The database file <database>.json is created for the wiki, but the entry isn't added to the databases.json file, so $wgServer is just being set as the domain name and not the wiki domain. Just thought I'd add a bit more to the debugging of sorts :)

Could you clarify whether you'd confirm for sure that it worked on 1.39 (not the RC)? Since we can't seem to remember whether we tested it on 1.39 RC or on the actual 1.39 version. Since that would narrow things down a little. But thanks for your help either way!
