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.

implementing the Interlanguage extension
by Amir E. Aharoni 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10
Sorry about bugging the list about it, but can anyone please explainthe reason for not enabling the Interlanguage extension?See bug 15607 -https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15607I believe that enabling it will be very beneficial for many projectsand many people expressed their support of it. I am not saying thatthere are no reasons to not enable it; maybe there is a good reason,but i don't understand it. I also understand that there are many otherunsolved bugs, but this one seems to have a ready and rather simplesolution.I am only sending it to raise the problem. If you know the answer, youmay comment at the bug page.Thanks in advance.-- Amir Elisha Aharoniheb:http://haharoni.wordpress.com | eng:http://aharoni.wordpress.comcat:http://aprenent.wordpress.com | rus:http://amire80.livejournal.com"We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace." - T.

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-----
