I have been tasked with making a print interface for MediaWiki. The user
would select and article and specifiy how many internal links deep to print.
How can I do this?

On the cy: wikipedia we have noticed that user "MediaWiki default" (a
bot?) seems to run every 6 months or so and repeatedly resets many of
the MediaWiki strings either to an older version which has been
corrected or (even worse) to English. I've just had to edit
:cy:MediaWiki:Go from "mynd" (travel) to "ewch" (imperative) again!
It is intensely annoying to have to repeatedly go through
Special:Allmessages trying to find out what has been screwed up (our
users usually notice when the labels of the editing tabs or the sidebar
go crazy). I know you need to create new strings for new features in
MediaWiki but for goodness' sake can the bot be altered so that it
doesn't interfere with pre-existing strings?

Subject: [Wikipedia] DICT protocol

Dear Sir,
I would like to suggest you at Wikimedia to use the DICT protocol [1]
which allows to query dictionaries and databases [2].
For example, thanks to the _Dict Firefox extension_ [3] it's possible to
write an url like the following one : dict://dict.org/d:encycplopedia .
There is a DICT server which allows to query the french Wikipedia
dict://mali.geekcorps.org/d:wikipedia e.g. [4].
It would be really great if we could query Wikimedia content with this
protocol.
BTW, while searching for http://google.com/search?q=wikipedia+dict I
found a lot of websites reproducing Wikipedia content with Google Ads. I
am wondering if they comply with the GNU GFDL license.

Hi there...
Images dump which I downloaded from
http://download.wikimedia.org/images/wikipedia/en/ is not full.
Is it because of license for some images or another reason?
For example there are no *Tux.png, **Commons-logo.png, **
Wikiquote-logo-en.png **and Wikibooks-logo-en.png *for Linux article.
Thanks

Installing and maintaining a bunch of software kind of sucks.
It would be good if we could make a more concerted effort to make use of
the RPM package manager that Fedora so conveniently provides for our
customized and patched software; we can have a local yum repository for
extra convenience (we've already got a local mirror of the main FC
packages, so adding our own should be easy).
We'll be upgrading the remaining Fedora Core 2 machines in the Florida
cluster to 3 to match the others, which should help in keeping things
consistent and friendly to mass installations.

I'm trying to rebuild the index and links from an imported wiki.
Any help much appreciated.

UI messages can now be blank, this is now considered to be different to
missing. Unless there are strenuous objections, it will stay that way, I
think it makes more sense than those ugly workarounds.
There were a few transient bugs over the last 24 hours related to this,
some messages erroneously showed up as blank when they were in fact
missing. This should be fixed now (thanks to Brion for helping with this).
I also improved the cache a bit.

I've enabled SVG uploads and rendering.
SVG images are automatically rendered to PNG for thumbnails and inline
display, currently using rsvg (of librsvg) as a converter backend. (If
anybody sets up new Apaches in the cluster, make sure the librsvg2
package is installed.)
Note that some old SVGs might have bogus size information if the image
table which causes rendering to fail; I'll try to get that worked out,
but as a workaround you can re-upload the file.

Dear devs,
The website iPG-Enciclopédia <http://www.enciclopedia.ipg.com.br> is using
real time content from ptwiki and is not crediting either the article
authors or Wikipedia as a source, but is instead indicating that the content
is copyrighted by them. Since they also do automatic text replacement, I
would like to request - just like elian suggested on #wikimedia - this
website to be blocked from accessing the Wikimedia projects.
I'll also will try to send them an email about this.
Best regards,
