I would like to add some additional statistics such as number of
watching users on each article page footer. When I apply program changes
in pageStats() in the module Skin.php, this **only** results in changes
for the CLASSIC skin.
Please can someone explain, --what-- I have to change EXACTLY --where--
to have similar changed footers in eg. MONOBOOK skin ? I found several
strange looking modules but have not a single idea, where to apply my
patch for the others skins.

Hi,
what would be best to install MediaWiki on a
laptop or do screen shots? Or maybe some other
idea I haven't thought of yet for presenting
Wikipedia to a group of 80 to 120 educators...
I'll be presenting at the McAuliffe and NHAWLT
conferences this year and would like to show how
Wikipedia and MediaWiki can be useful in
education.
I can't depend on going online at the conference
center... although this would be ideal... but if I
can prepare to run a local database for the sake
of showing how the editing process takes place
and how easy it is to add articles and make
corrections, additions etc... I think running it
on a Laptop with Linspire 4.5 may be doable,
although I'd certainly take your suggestions
seriously (the DELL laptop has 30Gb drive with
256Mb RAM, and I can put Apache and PHP,
and I'd need MySQL on it, of course.
There was a fellow Wikipedian who had made
available a Wiki-engine that would run a
downloaded wiki database on Windows XP.
I tried it on a Compaq and I remember it was
pretty slick... I can borrow a Gateway with
128MB and 30Gb harddrive with XP which
may run this if I can get a hold of the program...
does anyone remember what this may have been?
It was posted here, I downloaded it and tried it
last year with good results... this would mean
I wouldn't have to install MediaWiki on the
DELL laptop.
The other option is to just do a Presentation with
OpenOffice or PowerPoint, including screenshots.
But this by itself wouldn't have the impact of having
the working model to present.
What do you suggest doing, has anyone presented
Wikipedia to a large audience and could we make
available if there isn't already a list of suggestions
when presenting Wikipedia and MediaWiki.
I appreciate your help in getting things thought out.
With regards,
Jay B.
Hi everyone,
We are in the final phases of evaluating wikis - we intend to use them
internally as well deploy it to faculty and students. We anticipate the
need to customize and extend these deployments, in both skins and
functionality.
A few questions:
How far off is 1.4 from a beta release? Will there be a migration script
from 1.3?
Will mediawiki 1.4 have better architectural support for plugins/extensions?
Especially things like wikiwhiteboars/twikidraw/svg?
What about anything comparable to macros (like moin moin) ?
Is there a systematic move towards phpTAL, or is it just being used in one
skin?
Aside from scalability/performance (which is not a major concern for our
deployments), do you have any great arguments for using the mediawiki over
moinmoin?
Thanks so much for you time,
Jonah

Hi GerardM,
if you already know someone to contact and can arrange it would be nice. Otherwise can you direct me to someone to contact?
The name spaces should be as follows:
for it.wiktionary.org -> Wikizionario
for it.wikiquote.org -> Wikiquote
for it.wikibooks.org -> Wikibooks
Thanks,

Hoi,
Recently I have been working with Sabine to convet after the changeover from uppercase to lowercase first charactere. I have also added loads of lemma's with loads of translations.
My question,
The Namespace is still called Wikipedia, it should be either Wiktionary or Wikizionario. I think the last is best. Could you ask the developpers to change that. If you cann't please reply and I will arrange it.
Thanks,
GerardM
Hi - today on "en" some vandalbot did about 30 or 40 page moves in a
minute or two. It's all fixed now, but for the future, it would be good
if sysops could speedily undo page moves.

The swap of replaceExternalLinks and replaceInternalLinks was done to
handle URLs in thumbnail captions, like in
[[Image:TeX lion.png|thumb|right|100px|The [[TeX]] [[lion]]. http://www.ctan.org/]]
Whoever did it probably forgot to update the comments...

This has happened to me three or four times over the last week or so.
It's also been mentioned a few times on IRC over the same period. It's
not something I've seen before - but it seems to be an increasing
problem at the moment. As others have said, forcing a refresh or
clearing my cache doesn't help. But using &action=purge does (not a
solution in general of course)
I've copied this to the tech list - it seems more their area than the en
list.

Now that 1.3 has category support, perhaps you could add a "Add a new article
in this category" link in the category listing pages. Close to that link you
could have a text input box where the article title could be written.
Creating a wikilink or typing a URL in order to create a new wikinode is just
unintuitive, not only to newbies but to everyone.

Can some please explain, if
oldid in combination with namespace:pagetitle
is sufficient to describe *permanently* a certain revision (version) of
a page, as long, as that revision of the page is kept in the database.
Is it ?
Please could you answer directly to me, thanks.
Background of my question:
the new Enotif patch -coming soon- will memorize (for each watching
user) the last version "oldid" the watching user has really seen. The
notification mail comprises two links, one to the current version of the
watched page and -new- a second link to
{{SERVER}}{{localurl:$PAGETITLE|diff=0&oldid=$OLDID}} , which directly
shows the differences between current version and the last visited one.
Such a feature has been proposed by some of you and is integrated in new
Enotif versions. Enotif is already available for MediaWiki 1.3.5 and
1.3.6, however, the both MediaWiki Versions are superseded by 1.3.7.
Please look forward to the next Enotif release for MW 1.3.7 and CVS 1.4,
coming soon. http://meta.wikipedia.org/Enotif
Hi there
I'm having fun hacking my local metawiki installation. Currently I'm
trying to implement a calendar
(I think would be something new?) as a special page. What I miss, are
detailed informations about
the global variables like wgOut and wgRequest. $wgOut isn't that hard,
because a var_dump will
show detailed informations - but unfortunately that doesn't work with
$wgRequest :(. Is there
_any_ more detailed documentation about the metawiki internals than the
informations on meta.wikipedia.org?
I searched almost everywhere.. and the mailing-list archive seems not to
have a search function!
Regards & great work,
Joel Wiesmann
