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.
It seems that someone's added a checkbox "Log me in globally" on
CentralAuth's modified Special:Userlogin. This is kind of not great in that
it clogs up the user interface with something that should always 100% of the
time be on, and should never be optional.
The feature request:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20852
The commit:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/75041
If there's no strong objection, I'd like to revert it. If there really is
some very specific need for non-global logins (wtf?!) this should be
something that individual people who really need it can *get to* with their
secret wizard knowledge but not inflict on everyone else. ;)

Hello,
I noticed code review lagging a bit in trunk, which I was expecting
since 1.17 have kept guru busy for the last month. When I started code
reviewing in October or November 2010, I have spent hours and hours
reviewing trivial revisions that mostly anyone could have marked ok.
In attempt to get more people to review the code, I have started marking
my own trivial commits with the tag 'easy'. It would be a good way to
start being confident in reviewing code if you have not yet tried :)
The list is at:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/tag/easy
It would be great if other developers can tag their commits with the
same tags and we could start shy developers in reviewing more.
cheers,

Since several people gave me some very positive feedback about last
weekend's sprint to fix the tarball blockers for 1.17, I'm going to have
a new sprint to fix the 1.17 blockers. Before we get started, though,
let me give some recognition to the people who have fixed bugs this past
week:
27440 Special:Types non-functional on 1.17
Jeroen De Dauw (SMW bug that probably shouldn't have been a
tarball blocker, but, hey!, thanks Jeroen!)
27506 <gallery> is printed in 1 file per row
Krinkle
27607 Special:NewPages only showing last 24 hours since 1.17
Derk-Jan Hartman closed it WORKSFORME
There were also two bugs that, after investigation, are no longer
tarball blockers:
27474 [[#_foo|bar]] renders with href="#foo" , breaking Cite anchors
configuration issue
27571 GRAMMAR rules from $wgGrammarForms don't work with fallback-language
Niklas Laxström told me he couldn't reproduce this one or track
it down
And now, the still-outstanding blocker bugs. A couple of bugs have been
added, but I think that overall we're making good progress. First, the
bugs related to the new installer that Tim mentioned last week. Since
the installer will be the first exposure many people have to 1.17 and
the code is all new, I think these deserve special attention.
12070 After Installation MySQL was blocked
26481 New installer doesn't fill in the $*Key values some times
26612 Regression: Postgres cannot install
26937 Deleted file path not visible when going back to page=Options
27579 Chrome saves config as LocalSettings.php.php
Chad made some real progress on the Postgres installer (26612) and I said that I
would take care of the remaining issue in, but I haven't had a chance
yet. Chad and Platonides have been working on 12070. Meanwhile, 26481,
26937, and 27579 look pretty easy. I expect we could have all this
taken care of this weekend.
If the UI is your thing but the installer bugs don't grab you, have a
look at these:
27023 once dom ready mediawiki.loader.using issues callback before modules are ready
27490 RTL ui in LTR wiki is LTR aligned
27540 width of <gallery> always 100%
27566 New wikilink window grows in width each time when opened in Chrome
27577 Gallery perrow width is overestimated
27679 Ugly encoding in red file links containing an ampersand
27693 Doing double bar in image link inside table changed behaviour
Finally, a couple more bugs if you none of the above whets your
appetite:
27403 Disabled preferences are taken into account anyway
27473 Apostrophe in linktrail breaks bolded links
I haven't included one blocker in the list because I think P.Copp's
javascript minimizer fixes it. However, his contribution hasn't been
installed yet, so there may still be room to try your hand:
27528 JS minification still outputs incorrect javascript for some input
If you're going to try your hand at any of these, I suggest you post a
comment to wikitech-l so we have an idea of what you're doing.
Note that if any of these don't excite you, you should check out #27339
blockers:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=27339&hide_resolve…
Some of these require shell access, but some are bugs with MediaWiki
extensions used on Wikimedia.
As always, if you need help figuring something out or tracking down one
of these bugs, ask on #mediawiki on freenode.
Happy hacking!
Mark.
I have done a small amount of testing, the tests look good. Acccordingly
I have started up one process to do dumps; please get your eyeballs on
them and let me know thumbs up or down. I'd like to start up the rest
of the processes by tomorrow at this time so if you can squeeze in some
time to look at them sooner rather than later that would be awesome.
Thanks!
Ariel
p.s. Yes this means I am done travelling for a while, thank goodness. I
think I am sick of airplanes. And *very* sick of jet lag.
Hi,
The last month(s) I'm starting to get more busy every day what kind of means
that I didn't have time to respond fast...
So I contacted Chad, and from this moment he is the second list admin for
this list.
