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.

Hi,today we came over 10k HTTP requests per second (even with inter-squidtraffic eliminated). Especially thanks to Mark and Tim, who've beenimproving our caching, as well as doing lots of other work, andachieved incredible results (while I was slacking). Really, thanks!Domas

Lost session data
by Steve Bennett 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06
I'm getting this both at home and at work, almost every time I try toedit a page:Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data.Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out andlogging back in.Normally, when I've had this message it's been after attempting tosave a page after extended inactivity - you click Save again and theproblem goes away. However, it's currently occurring as soon as Iclick "Edit", but doesn't cause any problems when clicking Save.Just wondering if it's the sort of thing that everyone isexperiencing, but no one thought of reporting? :)Steve

An issue on Cite.php extension
by Shinjiman 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06
Hi all,Someone just found out about an issue using the "Cite this article" function.for example, when we see the "Wikipedia" article as of 00:33, 16 June2006, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia&oldid=58859884].The URL link to the "Cite this article" is linking to the currentversion of the article. It should supposed to cite that article as ofthat modification time, instead of the current revision , IMHO. Isthis really an issue about the Cite.php extension?thanks and regardsMan

Newbie SMTP troubles
by Fred LaCroix 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06
Hi, I've got Mediawiki 1.6.6 running on a Windows XP SP2 system with Apache 2.2, php 5.1.4, PEAR's Mail package ver. 1.1.10 and MySQL 5.0.21. This PC is being run behind a firewall and will be accessed only by internal users. The system is up and running and I can login, create new discussions, edit...etc but when I try to "Confirm your email address" by pushing the "Mail a confirmation code" button, all I get is a blank page and no email is sent. My localsetting.php file contains the following: $wgEnableEmail = true;$wgEnableUserEmail = true; $wgEmergencyContact = "wikiadminl(a)internaltest.com";$wgPasswordSender = "wikiadmin(a)internaltest.com";$wgSMTP = array( "host" => '192.168.1.2', "IDHost" => 'internaltest.com', "port" => "25",# 'auth' => false, "auth" => true, "username" => 'wikiadmin', "password" => 'BlahBlah' For "host" I have tried the ip address of the system, the machine name, smtp.machine name, smpt.machine name.FQDN but no luck. My php.ini has: [mail function]; For Win32 only.SMTP = 192.168.1.2smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only.sendmail_from = wikiadmin(a)internaltest.com Any suggestions that could be offered would be appreciated. Thanks. __________________________________________________Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection aroundhttp://mail.yahoo.com

I've patched up some old problems with Special:Import and Special:Export:* Import updates categories etc* Imports are logged and reviewable in Special:Log/import* Imported pages also get a null edit in the history indicating the import andits source* Export is fixed up to allow fetching history for shorter pages, while stillaborting to avoid bogging down the servers on longer pages (currently set to acutoff of 100 edits)* Transwiki import allows selecting the import-with-historyWikis wishing transwiki import capability should let us know which wikis theywant to be able to import directly from (for instance, from a wikipedia ->wiktionary) and we can enable it.Please pass this notice on to wikis where it will be of interest.-- brion vibber (brion @pobox.com)

A very big update was made to the Swedish languagefile a some weeks ago. On the swedish Wikimediaprojects manyolder unupdated messages in the MediWiki namespacewere edited only by a user called MediaWiki_default(some script run on the servers?). Many of thosemessages are now old and "blocks" the updated messagesin the language files.Can User:MediaWiki_default update or delete themessages on swedish Wikibooks and Wikisource were MediaWiki_default is the only contributor? (on theother swedish projects administrators has alreadymanually deleted those messages, but that seems to beunnecceary work if a script can do it automatically)./~~~~___________________________________________________________ Inbox full of spam?

New diff feature for Wikipedia
by Roman Nosov 01 Jul '06

01 Jul '06
Hi all,I've been directed here by Brion, Robchurch and others on #wikimedia-tech.So I propose a new feature for Wikipedia which people on#wikimedia-tech mostly refer as blame page or blame map. I wouldprefer to call it something like "Track contributions mode" (becauseof similarity with MS Word track changes mode) or "Hall of fame" butwhatever. I have live prototype written in PHP&MySQL athttp://217.147.83.36:9000/ Example of "blame map" can be seen athttp://217.147.83.36:9000/history::171 two blame maps comparedhttp://217.147.83.36:9000/history::171=169For some reason folks at #wikimedia-tech. were mainly concerned withspeed and almost nothing else so I'll try explaining performanceissues as best as I can.First of all, I DO NOT propose to recalculate diffs for all zillionsof edits Wikipedia already has. Diffs would only be calculated for anew edits.Next, I want to explain in detail how I see this working. So first Ipropose to modify revision table and add a flag with followingpossible values: "Revision is too old to be diffed", "Revision isawaiting to be diffed", "Revision has been diffed". Also another tableshould be added that will store blame maps for each revision. Blamemap for each subsequent revision will be calculated incrementally. Soit doesn't really matter whether article has 10 or 1000 revisions. Wewould only need last blame map.I also propose to have separate dedicated diff server(s) with sole jobto calculate diffs in background. I.e. diff server grabs revision with"Revision is awaiting to be diffed" flag and last blame map fromdatabase, calculates diff and finally stores new blame map in thedatabase and also changes revision flag to "Revision has been diffed".Repeat.In addition, article display logic should be altered. The module thatdisplays article should check diff flag. If diff flag is set to"Revision is too old to be diffed" no further changes needed. If diffflag is set to "Revision is awaiting to be diffed" then Creditssection should be created that only contains message "Calculation inprogress". If diff flag is set to "Revision has been diffed" thenCredits section should be created that contains list of contributorsordered by contribution size. The list of contributors in correctorder can be generated with a single select to blame map table. Inaddition this select can be cached. Direct link to blame map should bedisplayed too. If user clicks on this blame map link correspondingblame map should be presented. Every blame map can be generated with asingle select and can be placed in cache. YawnIf you are still awake by now more thoughts on fault tolerance here.Should diff server die, crash, fail or whatever the only side effectend user will see is "Calculation in progress" message right afterarticle body. That's it. No slowdown or anything. If user still wantssee some kind of diff he/she can still use old diff engine. Becauseblame maps aren't calculated in real time this feature is impracticaltarget for DoS attacks. However I should point out that any real timediff algorithm is one big fat target for DoS attacks on other wikiswhich are run on single server without some sort of acceleration.There is also small Unicode issue. Due to crappy utf-8 support in PHPall non-latin characters are currently ignored. I believe this couldbe solved either by enabling proper Unicode support in PHP or writingcustom code to separate words. But before that I propose to test onEnglish Wikipedia first because if it will works for English it shouldwork for other languages.So I offer following practical steps. Dedicate one of servers to bediff playground. I will need a shell account on this server. Installmediawiki on it alongside with diff logic running in background.Create read only mysql account on live database server. So as a resultthis diff server can grab new revisions from live database, diff themand store results locally. This way we can find out how many editssingle server can process and see how many servers this feature willrequire in total (I don't think it will be more than 2-3 though).In conclusion, I'd like to say that in my opinion this feature will beuseful and practical if implemented. It also can be crucial buildingblock for other interesting features. However, I want to stress thatI'm not interested in doing this *unless* it is used in EnglishWikipedia and I'm given appropriate credit. I can give a reason why Iwant that in private e-mail.Thank you for reading this long and boring e-mail.

Hi!It has been asked multiple times at [[commons:Commons talk:File types]] to enableOpenOffice.org 2.0 formats (=OASIS OpenDocument Format) for file upload. Any objections? Can you please enable it?Filename extensions are .odt (text), .ods (spreadsheet), .odp (presentation), and .odg (graphics), then there is .odc (chart), .odf (formula), .odb (database), .odi (image), and the according templates .ott, .ots, .otp, .otg, .otc, otf, .oti and finally .odm (text-master) (seehttp://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.0/OpenDocument-v1.0-os.pdf appendix C, page 697f.)Greetings,Jakob

Sanity check on image uploads
by Anders Wegge Jakobsen 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06
I've been asked by some of the editors on dawiki of the possibilitiesto create a set of questions that can lead to the correct imagelicense(s) for image uploads. Furthermore, there is a request forenforcing a name for the photographer, so proper crediting can bedone. Looking at SpecialUpload.php, there are no hooks that is reallysuitable for this, and also I'm a little unsure about any effects ofbeginning to send people to new pages mid-upload, which would happenif added to any of the two existing hooks. So I propose to add two hooks: One for adding fields to the initialform, and one for validating the contents before proceeding with theupload. Is there any reason that validation of license informationshould not be done in this way? Also, if a more suitable way of"quizzing" people exists, I'd be happy to hear about that.-- // Wegge
