Tossed this together during hacking this evening in Berlin, finally
fixes https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14473
Somehow we never got round to recording interwiki links into the
database link tables (eventually langlinks was added, but only for the
sidebar interlanguage links; inline interwiki links were simply dropped).
The table will be added by update.php for MySQL, should work for SQLite
(untested); probably still need to add a PostgreSQL updater for it.
Note that the magic indirection for things like [[wikt:fr:blah]] isn't
resolved on the source wiki side, so that'll currently record as
('wikt', 'fr:blah'). At some point we'll probably want to make the
project/language pairings something we can evaluate and normalize to
provide better tracking.

Hi everyone,
We're considering hosting MediaWiki for an institution of approximately
16,000 users. We're wondering what costs (monetary or employee-hours)
others have experienced in a similar deployment.
Currently we're looking at a relatively light single-use (say, 50
concurrent users peak), but are considering a more enterprise deployment
in the future that could host documentation for more projects and see
more activity.
Any additional advice or lessons learned about similar deployments is
also very welcome.
Cheers,
Branden
Does there exist a recommended wiki syntax for representing that a page
is hierarchically a "child" of another page?
I don't want to rename the pages
Currently I use this static, hierarchical index of wiki pages which are
part of our user manual,
http://github.com/jablko/manual/raw/master/manual.html
- to compile the pages into this PDF, http://ica-atom.org/manual.pdf
Now however, instead of the static index, I want to represent in each
page's wiki markup, which pages are logically "children" of that page
Among the reasons for doing this is that, to build the PDF based on the
static index, currently I recursively concatenate first the body of a
page, followed by each of its children
Now I have a case where, instead of concatenating the children after the
page body, the children need to be inserted at various positions in the
page body
So I think I need to indicate these positions with some wiki syntax, and
this will make the static index redundant
I thought "transclusion" was a candidate, because pages are recursively
transcluded to build the PDF, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion
In the wiki however, I don't actually want to display pages embedded in
each other - instead I want links to child pages. This represents enough
information about the hierarchical structure to build the PDF
My current best candidate is the <a href="..." rel="down"/> "link
relation",
* http://www.imc.org/atom-syntax/mail-archive/msg21260
* http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-divilly-atom-hierarchy-03
Is there a better syntax for representing, at a particular position in a
page, that another page is a "child"?
wikimedia.org, wikipedia.org, wikipedia.de and wiktionary.org are on the IE8
compatibility blacklist again (you can check by opening
res://iecompat.dll/iecompatdata.xml in IE8 or at
http://ie8blacklist.appspot.com/ ), which means that IE8 renders Wikipedia pages
just as IE7 would. I see no obvious difference when switching into IE8 standards
mode. Does someone know the reason for the blacklisting? If not, could someone
from the foundation ask them to remove these sites from the list? (Information
on removal requests can be found at the end of this article:

Hello,
I'm using a mediawiki farm with multible wiki, all using there own code.
I have been busy and they are using one /images/ /cache/ and one
/skins/ but I'm wondering... Is it also possible to use one directory
with the languages for all wiki's ?
Best regards
Huib
I've made myself mailing list owner of mediawiki-l and wikitech-l
temporarily, since I don't think Brion is interested in moderating
either of them anymore.
But it's a relatively simple task, and it seems to me that it could be
done 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?

I don't get it. In e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai there are
tons of e.g.,
<a href="#CITEREFPatelMasselos2003">Patel & Masselos 2003</a>
<a href="#CITEREFMehta2004">Mehta 2004</a>
<a href="#CITEREFHansen2001">Hansen 2001</a>
But no corresponding anchors. One will only get
No such anchor: CITEREFHansen2001
in ones browser. What's the deal?
