MediaWiki to Latex Converter
by Hugo Vincent 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12
Hi everyone,I recently set up a MediaWiki (http://server.bluewatersys.com/w90n740/) and I need to extra the content from it and convert it into LaTeX syntax for printed documentation. I have googled for a suitable OSS solution but nothing was apparent.I would prefer a script written in Python, but any recommendations would be very welcome.Do you know of anything suitable?Kind Regards,Hugo Vincent,Bluewater Systems.

machine translaton of the articles...
by prasad gadgil 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05
Hi,I have just joined, I am from mumbai, india. I would like to get thearticles translated in marathi, my mother tongue. Looking at the effortand no of volunteers, this will not be usable in any reasonable amountof time.That has made me think of alternatives - machine translation. A statefunded institute has a software available but I don't have access to ityet. Pl. comment about this approach. Has this been tried for any otherlanguage earlier.Thanks & regards,Prasad Gadgil________________________________________________________________________Yahoo!

Edit conflict
by Philipp 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05
Hello,in the past few days the following problem occurred in a local mediawikiinstallation: When opening an article for edit, everything seems in order.Showing the preview also works and the change applied to the article is shown.But when trying to submit, one gets the other-user-edits-conflict-warning andin the preview field there is the old unchanged version. This happens withevery article (as far as tested) independently whether that respective articlebeing edited by someone else or not.Writing a new article works, trying to edit it just afterwards leads to thedescribed problem.Already did a rebuildall which took all night (2500 articles), but the problemremains the same. Is that something known and what am I missing here?GreetingsPhilipp

Webservices API
by Jimmy Wales 10 Jul '05

10 Jul '05
It seems that a lot of people are excited about the concept of KDEintegration (and of course integration beyond that), and I am thinkingthat we should start to think now a little bit about the load on thewebservers and how to manage it.My thought is that a well behaved application should produce no moreload than people surfing our site with a traditional browser. But it ispossible (likely, even) that some applications will not be well-behaved.If we have a single generic interface where everyone pulls in exactlythe same way, then we have no way to block abusive applications withoutblocking everyone.Something as simple as requiring a "user agent" string might be enough?This issue is quite similar to the issue of people pulling pages fromour site "live" to make a mirror. It's not a good thing to do if doneabusively. But with web hosts, it is easy enough to simply block themif they misbehave. A misbehaving application will come in through manyip numbers.I have been thinking a little bit as well about a model with full blownkeys (like the Google API) -- the point could be that for free software,we can give out free keys and support those users at our own expense.But for proprietary software, we can charge money for the keys.Anyone who doesn't want to pay can still get the database dumps fromtime to time.--Jimbo

I've upgraded the 'Nostalgia Wikipedia', a copy of the English Wikipediadatabase from December 2001, to MediaWiki 1.5 as an initial test of ourupgrade infrastructure:http://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version(Editing is disabled, and it's running the nostalgia skin, so you canlook but not touch. :)We'll be hitting a few more over the next few hours, including Commons.After some more live testing to work out kinks, the remaining wikis willget upgraded bit by bit over the coming days.-- brion vibber (brion @pobox.com)

Time to get some new servers
by Camille Constans 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05
Hello,As wikipedia is slow at the busy time, I propose to get some new servers for our cluster.- Some new web servers(3 or 4), P4 2,8Ghz with 2Go of RAM- A server which could be a backup for nfs server, zwinger, with bigger disk, 80Go is very low, maybe 200 or 250Go - Upgrading disk of zwinger to 200 or 250Go (or add a new one)- A db server in 64 bits mode with 4Go of RAM (if we cant make working geoffrin), like this one :http://www.macomp.com/products/servers/patriot2200.asp With raid 10 disk system, 4 or 6 drives in raid and 1 stand-by. I prefer 15000rpm disk, but I can understand that they are more expensive- Maybe another squid serverWhat do you think of that ?Shaihulud

Support for vertical scripts
by Mark Williamson 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05
Hi allAs you may or may not already know, Mongolian is one of the fewlanguages in the world that is written vertically _all_ the time(Japanese, Chinese, and a few others can be written vertically, butthey can also be written horizontally).Although Outer Mongolia (ie, the independent nation, as opposed theInner Mongolia which is currently administered by the People'sRepublic of China) switched decades ago to the Cyrillic script forMongolian (due to pressure from their favourite ally and neighbour,the USSR), since 1994 great efforts have been made to reintroduce theMongolian script. Many Outer Mongolians can read it, and it's beingtaught in schools now.Inner Mongolia never switched scripts: it has used Mongolian scriptcontinuously now since its emergence.Now, the issue here isn't which script to use as that can be workedout later. The issue here is how we would organise a vertical website.W3C standards spell out how to make vertical text properly using HTML.However, this isn't supported by all browsers (Firefox, for one,doesn't support it).Also, since the user interface is designed for languages that arewritten horizontally, it may be difficult to adapt to Mongolian. Thetypical solution is to flip EVERYTHING 90 degrees counterclockwise.A representation of what a proper implementation of Mongolian scriptprotocols on mn.wiki should look like can be found here:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Mongolian_wikipedia_prev…(it's pretty neat, actually)MarkPSFor what it's worth, it's top-to-bottom, left-to-right.--SI HOC LEGERE SCIS NIMIVM ERVDITIONIS HABESQVANTVM MATERIAE MATERIETVR MARMOTA MONAX SI MARMOTA MONAX MATERIAMPOSSIT MATERIARIESTNE VOLVMEN IN TOGA AN SOLVM TIBI LIBET ME VIDERE-- SI HOC LEGERE SCIS NIMIVM ERVDITIONIS HABESQVANTVM MATERIAE MATERIETVR MARMOTA MONAX SI MARMOTA MONAX MATERIAMPOSSIT MATERIARIESTNE VOLVMEN IN TOGA AN SOLVM TIBI LIBET ME VIDERE

en.wiktionary.org temporarily broken
by Brion Vibber 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05
Someone has changed the $wgCapitalLinks setting onen.wiktionary.org,causing many thousands of links to break without warning -- far too manyfor humans to fix up in a reasonable amount of time.I'm really, really, really annoyed about this, and I'd appreciate it ifwhoever made this premature change would at least confess to the deed.Right now I'm working on an automated script to fix up the links. Thischange should *not* have been made before this script was reaady.-- brion vibber (brion @pobox.com)

WikiMedia Error
by john kaczmarowski 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05
I recently installed WikiMedia code base on a Windows system and it has been running quite well for the past 2-3 months.Today, I modified (for about the 10th time) the DefaultSettings.php file in the Includes directory so that I could upload a .exe file (yes, trouble, but this is in a relatively secure environment). Anyway, the exe was a flash demo that I was attaching to a wiki page.The upload was over 5MB (I've successfully uploaded as much as a MB or 2, but not more).When the upload was completed, I started to get a LOT of problems with the wiki, to wit:1. Any page not cached in memory returns blank (not edit mode, just blank). Specifically: <html><body></body></html>2. Any special page request (edit, discuss, history) returns blank, specifically <html><body></body></html>3. I do not have direct access to the wiki server to do a reboot (its in my house, and I'm in another state).Any ideas on how to jump-start my wiki?kacz

Search mechanism
by Phil Boswell 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05
I am having trouble understanding how the search mechanism prioritises results.One would assume that a search for _Dark brown_ (ie just the words, no quotes involved) would result in a list topped by the article [[Dark brown]]:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Dark+brown&fulltext=Sear…It's not even in the first 50! And surrounding it with quotes does not help.Is [[Wikipedia:Searching]] current? I couldn't find anything on there to help, although I'm having a quick squirrel through the linked document at MySQL.-- Phil[[en:User:Phil Boswell]]
