The latest phase3 code has been significantly reorganized, and so
it has been imported into a new CVS module "phase3" instead of
"phpwiki/newcodebase". I will also make a .zip file release for
those who don't want to play with CVS.
I think all the docs are updated; if you know of any stray docs
somewhere, please update them to reflect this change.

Hello. Two useful features added to Wikipedia would be:
o Allowing a comment when one moves a page, so that one can
justify the move to the world.
o Causing the "Recent changes" page _not_ to reload every
time one returns to it, or at least making it possible to
set one's preferences that way, so that one need not wait
the sometimes unduly long time that it takes for it to
display 500 changes (if 500 is, as in my case, how one sets
one's preferences).
Is there any way to speed up the process of getting Google to
detect a Wikipedia page? I'm not sure how many weeks it takes,
but maybe between four and ten. -- Mike

could we do something about this?
I just re-reverted TUFKAT's rollback by mistake :(
how about just a message that says:
"the change you were trying to rollback has already been reverted by
user:foo"

Hello all,
Googling for something for the Polish Wikipedia I discovered that
the test site test.wikipedia.com is indexed by Google robots even with
edit pages.
We surely don't want this to happen ?
Regards,
Kpjas.
Today I released v1.1 of the Wikipedia to TomeRaider conversion script.
See the script for version history:
http://members.chello.nl/epzachte/Wikipedia/WikiToTome.pl
If someone mails me FTP upload parameters I will upload 4 TomeRaider
databases (ready for browsing, conversion already done) :
Complete English Wikipedia: 104 Mb
Complete Dutch Wikipedia: 5 Mb
Complete German Wikipedia: 10 Mb
Demo English Wikipedia: 47 Kb
TomeRaider versions exist for Windows/Pocket PC/Palm/EPOC handhelds.
See http://www.tomeraider.com (also preview versions available)
Screenshots and much more info on my site:

I did a major re-organization of the source, but I want to get some
feedback on it before I commit it to CVS. There's a source release
zip file at <ftp://ftp.piclab.com/pub/phase3.zip> or
<http://www.piclab.com/pub/phase3/zip>. It should now be very
straightforward to install a new system or update one. Brion, I'd
appreciate it if you'd install it at test.wikipedia.org and tell me
if you had any problems. It passes the testsuites. If all goes well
I'll check it in and get to work on the bug list and other things I
have on the back burner.

this is an old topic, but worth mentioning:
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_pages
there's
* the auto-caption feature that's been discussed
* proposal for auto-formatting - this is good because it dramatically
cuts down on ugly HTML in wiki pages
* links to larger versions of images
have we sorted out the weirdness of using [[image: to link to soundfiles?
I am making a sweeping change in our DNS that shouldn't affect
anything... Currently, *.wikipedia.com (the DNS entry) resolves to
the Bomis server that used to host all of the wikis. Any wikipedia.com
wiki that is loading from the newer server is doing so because an
explicit entry has been added to DNS for that wiki to make it point to
the newer server.
I am going to point *.wikipedia.com to the newer server, and add
entries for the wikis that are in use on the old server.
This will give our administrators on the newer server the ability to
handle DNS names that we don't officially support (test.wikipedia.com)
in whatever way they deem fit. It will also allow them to add new
languages at will, since the hostnames will already be pointed to
the correct IP. For me, it simplifies converting old wikis to the new
software, as removing a name from DNS is easier than adding one using
register.com's interface. Also, it has the added bonus of making DNS
get simpler as we convert more old wikis, rather than having it become
more complex (as it currently does).
