Database dumps
by Byrial Jensen 17 Apr '25

17 Apr '25
Until some weeks agohttp://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html usedto show 4 dumps in progress at the same time. That meant that newdatabase dumps normally was available within about 3 weeks for alldatabases except for enwiki and maybe dewiki where the dump process dueto size took longer time.However the 4 dumps processes at one time become 3 some weeks ago. Andafter massive failures at June 4, only one dump has been in progress atthe same time. So at the current speed it will take several months tocome thru all dumps.Is it possible to speed up the process again using several dumpprocesses at the same time?Thank you,Byrial

EBNF grammar project status?
by Steve Bennett 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25
What's the status of the project to create a grammar for Wikitext in EBNF?There are two pages:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitext_Metasyntaxhttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Markup_specNothing seems to have happened since January this year. Also the comments onthe latter page seem to indicate a lack of clear goal: is this just a funproject, is it to improve the existing parser, or is it to facilititate anew parser? It's obviously a lot of work, so it needs to be of clearbenefit.Brion requested the grammar IIRC (and there's a comment to that effect athttp://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7), so I'm wondering what became of it.Is there still a goal of replacing the parser? Or is there some alternativeplan?Steve

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.

I've been putting placeholder images on a lot of articles on en:wp.e.g. [[Image:Replace this image male.svg]], which goes to[[Wikipedia:Fromowner]], which asks people to upload an image if theyown one.I know it's inspired people to add free content images to articles inseveral cases. What I'm interested in is numbers. So what I'd need isa list of edits where one of the SVGs that redirects to[[Wikipedia:Fromowner]] is replaced with an image. (Checking which ofthose are actually free images can come next.)Is there a tolerably easy way to get this info from a dump? AnyWikipedia statistics fans who think this'd be easy?(If the placeholders do work, then it'd also be useful convincing somewikiprojects to encourage the things. Not that there's ownership ofarticles on en:wp, of *course* ...)- d.

en.wiki migrated to new search backend
by Robert Stojnic 06 Jun '09

06 Jun '09
Hi all,We now have english wikipedia fully migrated to new servers / new searchbackend. We cannot fully migrate other wikis until we resolve some hardwareissues. In the meantime, here is the overview of new features now deployedon en.wiki:1) Did you mean... - we now have search suggestions. Care has been taken toprovide suggestions that are context-sensitive, i.e. on phrases, propernames, etc..2) fuzzy and wildcard queries - a word can be made fuzzy by adding ~ to it'send, e.g. query sarah~ thompson~ will give all different spellings andsimilar names to sarah thompson. Wildcards can now be prefix and suffix,e.g. *stan will give various countries in central asia.3) prefix: - using this magic prefix, queries can be limited to pagesbeginning with certain prefix. E.g.mwsuggest prefix:Wikipedia:Village Pumpwill search all village pumps and archives for mwsuggest. This should beespecially useful for archive searching in concert with inputbox orsearchbox4) intitle: - using this magic prefix, queries can be limited to titles only5) generally improved quality of search results via usage of relatedarticles (based on co-occurrence of links), anchor text, text abstracts,proximity within articles, sections, redirects, improved stemming and suchCheers, Robert

new extension for embedded music scores
by River Tarnell 24 May '09

24 May '09
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----Hash: SHA1hello,i have written a new extension to embed music scores in MediaWiki pages:https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/Extension:ABC unlike the Lilypond extension, this uses a simple input language (ABC) that ismuch easier to validate for security. ABC is mostly used to transcribe Irishtrad and other simple tunes, but it recently gained support for more advancedfeatures, e.g. multiple staves and lyrics. this is supported in the extensionusing the 'abcm2ps' tool.unlike the existing ABC extension (AbcMusic), it doesn't support openingarbitrary files as ABC input (which is a potential security issue), and hasseveral additional features:- - The original ABC can be downloaded easily- - The score can be downloaded as PDF, PostScript, MIDI or Ogg Vorbis- - A media player can be embedded in the page to play the media filei believe the ABC format is suitable for transcribing the majority of scorescurrently on Wikimedia projects. although it can't handle all of them, it isbetter than the current situation. plus, as ABC is simple, and existing ABCscores are easily available, it's easier for novice users to contribute.i would be interested to hear peoples' thoughts on enabling this extension onWikimedia.- river.-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----iD8DBQFJBwL+IXd7fCuc5vIRAqG6AJ9RxKTGjJ7ywdZoesrTJWrMPtBYrACgjgDXlIY552ilDFaVG1mLzqW1F/Y==7Tda-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Open Document Format
by Lars Aronsson 18 May '09

18 May '09
Can someone explain why the Wikimedia Commons accepts uploads of printable PDF documents (e.g. brochures) but not the editable source version in Open Document Format (e.g. .ODT). This seems to violate the open source principle.This should be an FAQ but, but it isn't obvious fromhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:File_types-- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Aronsson Datateknik -http://aronsson.se

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----Hash: SHA1Special:Version displays SVN version numbers for extensions out of$wgExtensionCredits, which seems to be done with $LastChangedRevision$keywords in the extension's entry point file.This produces massively incorrect numbers in many cases, since the entrypoint file is relatively rarely changed in non-trivial extensionsconsisting of multiple files. Updates to the body, class, i18n, andother files are not reflected.If we're running on a SVN checkout of the extension, we could check thedirectory for its current revision much as we do for MediaWiki itself;this would tell us for instance if an extension's subdirectory has beenupdated separately from the core MediaWiki.But if we aren't on a SVN checkout, or if individual files have beenupdated to different versions, this may or may not tell us anything useful.Anybody have a suggestion on how to best handle this?- -- brion-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin)Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla -http://enigmail.mozdev.orgiEYEARECAAYFAklb6VcACgkQwRnhpk1wk44MNACg2c0ztpocjHfsb5l+KxSu8e+IwXgAoMSrjFeTPzEnMY4904bxXZv+DiYf=GNqG-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

DBMS where join+limit works?
by Tim Starling 13 Apr '09

13 Apr '09
On thistle with DB=dewiki:mysql> explain select * from recentchangesleft join tag_summary on ts_rc_id=rc_idorder by rc_timestamp desc limit 50\G*************************** 1. row *************************** table: recentchanges type: ALLpossible_keys: NULL key: NULL key_len: NULL ref: NULL rows: 1179921 Extra: Using temporary; Using filesort*************************** 2. row *************************** table: tag_summary type: ALLpossible_keys: ts_rc_id key: NULL key_len: NULL ref: NULL rows: 4 Extra:2 rows in set (0.00 sec)Whenever you do a join with a limit, MySQL gets the query plan wrong.It scans the small table and filesorts the large table. You have touse FORCE INDEX on the small table to suppress the scan. We've seenthis many times. It's very difficult to detect during code review andfrequently crashes the site.Does anyone know a DBMS where joining with limits actually works?Because I'm sick of this crap.-- Tim Starling
