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 have just joined, I am from mumbai, india. I would like to get the
articles translated in marathi, my mother tongue. Looking at the effort
and no of volunteers, this will not be usable in any reasonable amount
of time.
That has made me think of alternatives - machine translation. A state
funded institute has a software available but I don't have access to it
yet.
Pl. comment about this approach. Has this been tried for any other
language earlier.
Thanks & regards,
Prasad Gadgil

Hello,
in the past few days the following problem occurred in a local mediawiki
installation: When opening an article for edit, everything seems in order.
Showing the preview also works and the change applied to the article is shown.
But when trying to submit, one gets the other-user-edits-conflict-warning and
in the preview field there is the old unchanged version. This happens with
every article (as far as tested) independently whether that respective article
being edited by someone else or not.
Writing a new article works, trying to edit it just afterwards leads to the
described problem.
Already did a rebuildall which took all night (2500 articles), but the problem
remains the same. Is that something known and what am I missing here?
Greetings
Philipp
While we were discussing setting YurikBot bot flag on irc for YurikBot
accounts all over wikipedia , someone created a YurikBot account on
jawikipedia (according to Yurik, I can not read japanese)
It could OF COURSE just be a unexpected creation, but I fear it was
rather done on purpose.
I'd like that a check is run on who did this, and that this person is
politely ask to hand out the password to Yurik. Can someone help ?
Thanks
PS : I tried to use the check user, but it seems not to be working.

Hello
1. "Feature Request" feature: I have had a very difficult time finding
a "Feature Request" feature on Wikipedia. It should be easy to find. The
"Feature Request" part of the "Bug Report" page doesn't seem to exist.
2. "Page Change Alert" feature: I would like to receive an email alert
when any pages I have marked for tracking are editing.
Thanks

First of all: sorry for crossposting to all lists, but I need to reach
as many people as possible.
There are two things I would like to talk about and maybe this mail is
going to be quite long.
At this stage I took over part of the translation's organisation (or all
of it? we'll see ...)
There are some problems involved when it comes to translations for
wikimania - on one hand we will have people that know how to edit and
that go simply there and edit an article on the other hand we will work
with translators who don't know how to do this and therefore they
receive the article and send it back to me - then their work needs to be
copied and pasted into the wiki.
Therefore I created a page where to collect the names of people who work
for wikimania and a yahoogroup to assure that every article is only
translated once.
The translator's list can be find here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translators_that_are_willing_to_co-operate
It is organised by language combinations. I also added myself, but
really I suppose I won't have much time to translate since I will need
the time for organisational tasks.
The translator's list is on yahoo: wikimaniatrans(a)yahoogroups.com
I am inserting all translators there since all articles that need
translation are posted there. The first translator who answers to the
list with "I am doing this translation EN-IT" (just to make an example)
will translate that language combination of that particular article - so
all other translators know that this work is being done.
So if you are interested in co-operating for translations, please add
yourself to the list and subscribe to the yahoo-group. If you won't do
this yourself: just send me a mail indicating
Language combinations
Name
e-mail
Website (if any)
As to the reporters: to be faster in our work it would be great if you
sent me a note with the link as soon as your article is online and ready
for translation. I know that this is not the normal "wiki-way" but we
have to deal with people that are not used to wikis and we don't have
the time to teach them how to work there.
Please drop me a note so that I know you before (it would be great).
As to admins: please post the message that we are on search for
translators in your Beer Parlours and ask people who are interested to
contact me by e-mail (either sabine_cretella(a)yahoo.it or
s.cretella(a)wordsandmore.it) - I understand German, Italian, English,
French, Spanish and write German, Italian, English - I approximatively
understand some more languages, but it is not the case to guess what is
written in this situation, so please bear with me and accept these
limits :-)
For now that's all - the more we are the better we will be and the less
work anyone will do - if there's someone who would like to help with the
copy/paste upload: please let me know.
Ciao!!!!
Sabine

Hi, I have a question regarding the
Default Style Sheet behavior: The internal wiki links in MediaWiki are
either blue (click to view an existing article) or red (click to edit
a new article). This coloring applies to the tabs at the top as well.
We have a number of stub articles in our wiki that are showing their
discussion tabs as red, even though the discussion does in fact exist.
It is only happening on the articles tab (discussion is red in color
when it is not new) but it doesn't happen for any other tabs.
Here's an example: http://www.taxalmanac.org/index.php/IRS_Enrolled_Agent_Exam
Thank you.
