Wikipedia:WikiLoop DoubleCheck/Login To Revert FAQ

FAQs of why can't I revert the revisions directly from WikiLoop Battlefield?
'''Why can't I revert the revisions directly from WikiLoop Battlefield? '''

Currently we have implemented login-to-revert, however the IP addresses we deploy our webapp onto is being blocked globally and by English Wikipedia (possibly by other local wikis too).

Therefore, when you login at battlefield.wikiloop.org and try to direct revert, here are the errors you will get by visiting:

Why are the IP addresses blocked?
 * It's because our web app is deployed on Heroku/Google Cloud or Amazon AWS. Their shared IP addresses pools are blocked because of WP:NOP policy.

Why do you have to deploy onto these public cloud services?
 * Comparing to deploying an web-app onto an individual private server, deploying on public cloud service allow us to not worry about infrastructure uptime.


 * There are alternatives such as using a WMF Cloud VPS, which is both a cloud service, but not blocked.

So why have you not deployed on WMF Cloud VPS?
 * It's still pending approval by WMF Cloud team at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T237297
 * Update: now you can use http://wmf.doublecheck.wikiloop.org which allows direct revert.

Why don't you use WMF Toolforge?
 * See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T237297, and this answer in particular: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T237297#5638207
