I see "Live", and then I see "Search", and then I think this has to do with Microsoft...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 6:59 PM, Magnus Manske <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:magnusmanske@googlemail.com">magnusmanske@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I have set up a highly experimental (read: pre-pre-alpha) tool on the<br>
toolserver to search for combinations of key/value pairs in templates.<br>
Like TemplateTiger, but for the live site (one day...)<br>
<br>
URL:<br>
<a href="http://toolserver.org/%7Emagnus/knights_template.php" target="_blank">http://toolserver.org/~magnus/knights_template.php</a><br>
(as in "Knights Templar", sorry, couldn't resist)<br>
<br>
What does it do (or should do):<br>
Find actors on Wikipedia that have a book by publisher McFarland cited<br>
as source? No problem:<br>
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/chadva" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/chadva</a><br>
(will take a few seconds)<br>
<br>
All templates used on [[Roy Scheider]], with key/value pairs:<br>
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/dkpbh7" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/dkpbh7</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Things that need fixing (like, everything):<br>
* Slooow<br>
* Only en.wikipedia<br>
* Only 16K pages indexed at the moment (some Recent Changes snapshots)<br>
* Only templates used directly in the article are indexed<br>
* Needs continuous update (can run on cron, but disabled because text<br>
retrieval and DB storage too slow to keep up with RC)<br>
* Needs better query interface<br>
* Might cause database size problems<br>
<br>
All in all, it would be much better directly integrated into MediaWiki<br>
(no need for text retrieval/parsing, no bulk updates). But I've been<br>
saying that for years, at least this is a first attempt.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Magnus<br>
