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

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!I've read on the techblog that the new UI go live in April. I havesome questions:1) What version? Acai, babaco, citron?2) How/where could a wiki customize the special character insert menu,and the inserted strings? And the embed file (picture) button insertsthis: "[[Example.jpg]]", without any "File:" or "Image:"!3) The search and replace button is available in firefox, but does notappear at all in opera. Why?4) Currently the new navigable TOC does not work on FF/Opera at all(I've tried those).Not too early for live deployment?Regards,Akos Szabo (Glanthor Reviol)

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.

Unicode equivalence
by Praveen Prakash 30 May '10

30 May '10
Hi,I am from Malayalam Wikipedia (ml.wikipedia - user:Praveenp), and my language is Malayalam. Consider our one big problem.After the release of Unicode 5.1.0, there are two kind of encoding for some characters of Malayalam alphabet (because of reverse compatibility). This cause serious problems in linking, searching etc in mediawiki software. Currently Windows 7 is the only operating system which supports Unicode 5.1.0. (? according to my knowledge), but lot of third-party tools for writing and reading Malayalam supports new version. And now large quantity of data in Wikimedia projects are in new version. It is not possible to link, or search titles encoded in pre-Unicode 5.1.0 from Unicode 5.1.0 or vice versa. Currently one of our namespace ???????? (Category) also has one such character, so it is possible to write ???????? as ?????? which renders same as first but different in encoding. It causes problem in categorization also.Is it possible to put some unicode equivalence <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence> in mediawiki software? We need urgent help.Pls checkhttp://unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/#Malayalam_Chillu_Characters also *Visual * *Representation in 5.0 and Prior* *Preferred 5.1 Representation*1 CHILLU_NN.png 0D23, 0D4D, 200D 0D7ACHILLU_N.png 0D28, 0D4D, 200D 0D7B3 CHILLU_RR.png 0D30, 0D4D, 200D 0D7C4 CHILLU_L.png 0D32, 0D4D, 200D 0D7D5 CHILLU_LL.png 0D33, 0D4D, 200D 0D7E**ThanksWikipedia Affiliate Button <http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Support_Wikipedia/en>

Mailing list owner
by Tim Starling 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10
I've made myself mailing list owner of mediawiki-l and wikitech-ltemporarily, since I don't think Brion is interested in moderatingeither of them anymore.But it's a relatively simple task, and it seems to me that it could bedone by someone with more spare time and less awesome hacking skills ;)The tasks are:* Manage the mailman configuration for these two lists.* Put members on moderation if they post inappropriate content.* Deal with people who send administrative requests to the list or to*-owner@lists.You can also expect to get some forwarded spam. Anyone interested?-- Tim Starling

New full history en wiki snapshot is hot off the presses!It's currently being checksummed which will take a while for 280GB+ of compressed data but for those brave souls willing to test please grab it fromhttp://download.wikipedia.org/enwiki/20100130/enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-hi…and give us feedback about its quality. This run took just over a month and gained a huge speed up after Tims work on re-compressing ES. If we see no hiccups with this data snapshot, I'll start mirroring it to other locations (internet archive, amazon public data sets, etc).For those not familiar, the last successful run that we've seen of this data goes all the way back to 2008-10-03. That's over 1.5 years of people waiting to get access to these data bits.I'm excited to say that we seem to have it :)--tomasz
