I am running different wiki's, one is more open then the other. But I would still like to know who is adding what and not just know their "nickname". Mischa

Just got access to the commandline from my hostingprovider, question now is, how do I execute rebuildMessages.php ? thanx, Gerard -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] Namens Rob Church Verzonden: woensdag 30 november 2005 17:28 Aan: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Onderwerp: Re: [Mediawiki-l] how to copy Special:Allmessages to another wiki 1.5.x and later versions should offer a PHP view under Special:Allmessages.

It includes links to some of the discussions of why this proposal has been shot down in the past with reference to Wikipedia itself. On 05/12/05, Kent S. Larsen II <kent(a)lusobraz.com> wrote: > Rob, I don't think that restricting editing is the reason why so many users > are looking for email verification.

The problem with this argument is that e-mail addresses are in general no more traceable than the IP addresses that any website can already log at will. Consider the ease with which someone can create a hotmail, yahoo! mail, or similar account, not to mention the existence of sites like mailinator.com, spambob.com, and the like, which offer completely open and anonymous addresses. Some previous proposals have been driven to suggest complex blacklist/whitelist systems to rule out registering with such "disposable" e-mail addresses, but I'm not convinced that this is even technically feasible, and it would certainly result in far more people being discouraged from editting, due to the hoops they'd have to jump through to do so. > You may have seen the following horror story: http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2005-11-29-wikipedia-edit_x… For those who haven't yet come upon it, a journalist discovered that the entry about him on Wikipedia was inaccurate to the point of libellous; he then decried the fact that he didn't know who to sue, and blamed Wikipedia for not telling him (and the government for not letting him sue Wikimedia as a publisher). Firstly, as someone on Wikipedia-l pointed out, this is no different from just about the whole of the Internet - a libellous comment on Geocities would be equally untraceable, with the only difference being that Wikipedia is more prominent and therefore potentially more damaging. Now, imagine for a moment that instead of either an IP or a meaningless screen-name, he was able to extract an e-mail address attached to that edit (presumably after going through some due process with the site's admins); would he have been better off? The e-mail address might be foobar(a)yahoo.com, or bob(a)hotmail.com, or yousuck(a)mailinator.com, or perhaps an ISP-based address that was no longer valid. In the first 2 cases, he would have the option of demanding information from Yahoo! or MSN - this would probably consist of another IP address, plus some fake name and address details. In the last case, he would need to find out at what date the account was registered (meaning Wikipedia would need to have stored this information), and demand that the ISP tell him who held the named account at that time - which really amounts to little more than demanding to know who was assigned a particular IP address at a particular time. Re-reading the article, it seems he even *had* the IP address (presumably the user was not logged in, leaving this plain to see) and therefore knows the ISP of the user. Since this is, realistically, the most he'd get out of an e-mail address *anyway*, I don't see that automated approval would leave anyone better off in such cases. > Since it is already possible to restrict editing mediawiki to regisistered > users, seems like a simple, useful thing to add authentication of the email > address. Restricting to registered users is itself, in some quarters, controversial, but in as much as it has any benefit it is in acting as a "speed bump" or "prickly hedge" - people have to be pretty determined in order to go through the process of registering just to vandalise a page. Of course, it also puts off people wanting to make passing corrections or improvements to the page - I know I've clicked "edit" on a number of wikis only to abandon when told I need to register - but this is a trade-off that site administrators have to consider. If there is any value in having e-mail approval as part of the registration process, it is that it raises the entry barrier still higher - making the hedge even pricklier, in a sense - so that only really dedicated would-be-users (both good and bad intentioned) will get through. Maybe allowing site admins to play with this configuration would be worthwhile, but I remain unconvinced that actually flicking that switch would have a positive effect. > I apologize if this is really off topic for this list -- but you kind of > brought up the subject by assuming that Mischa was against 'open' editing. > I don't know what his wiki is about or what his policies are, but I don't > think enforcing a valid email address conflicts with 'open editing.' Well, whatever the intentions behind it, such enforcement would actively discourage users from editting pages, by making it harder for them to do so. In as much as 'open editting' means encouraging as many users as possible to edit, it is thus at the very least "a step away from" that principle - for better or worse. -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP]

Does the problem persist if you create separate background directives, e.g. body { font: x-small sans-serif; /*background: #f9f9f9 url(headbg.jpg) 10 5 repeat;*/ background-color: #F9F9F9; background-image: url(headbg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; color: black; margin: 0; padding: 0; } Rob Church On 05/12/05, Gordon Joly <gordon.joly(a)pobox.com> wrote: > At 09:39 +0000 5/12/05, Gordon Joly wrote: > >If I set the x or y offset of a background image to non zero, and > >also set "repeat", then image does not appear (the background > >appears white). > > > >That is, I change > > > >body { > > font: x-small sans-serif; > > background: #f9f9f9 url(headbg.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; > > color: black; > > margin: 0; > > padding: 0; > >} > > > >to > > > >body { > > font: x-small sans-serif; > > background: #f9f9f9 url(headbg.jpg) 10 5 repeat; > > color: black; > > margin: 0; > > padding: 0; > >} > > > >This seems to happen is in 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 (at least).

Small problem with main.css in /skins/monobook/
by Gordon Joly 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

If I set the x or y offset of a background image to non zero, and also set "repeat", then image does not appear (the background appears white). That is, I change body { font: x-small sans-serif; background: #f9f9f9 url(headbg.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; color: black; margin: 0; padding: 0; } to body { font: x-small sans-serif; background: #f9f9f9 url(headbg.jpg) 10 5 repeat; color: black; margin: 0; padding: 0; } This seems to happen is in 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 (at least). It had worked well in previous versions. -- Gordo (aka LoopZilla) gordon.joly(a)pobox.com http://pobox.com/~gordo/ http://www.loopzilla.org/

WikiTex: Xymtex install

Hello; I've been attempting to install the xymtex package for WikiTex. I uploaded the entire 17 megabyte package to my webspace, then I pasted an example from Wikisophia into a new page: > <chem>\octamethylene{4==S;5==S}{1W==HO;1D==O;8D==O;8W==OH;2SB==H; > 7SA==H;2SA==NH$_2$;7SB==NH$_2$}</chem> The following error was returned: > This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5) > (./2c67c000747b6ff14054bb48ef81ba6e > LaTeX2e <2001/06/01> > Babel and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, > ngerman, n > ohyphenation, loaded. > (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls > Document Class: article 2001/04/21 v1.4e Standard LaTeX document class > (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/size10.clo)) > > !

I've been messing with the wikitex.chem.inc.tex file. Also of note, the xymtex directory is within wikitex directory. That's why I used "xymtex/xymtex.sty".

Sud-domains / Linux
by Mauro do Carmo 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hi all, It is a kind of off topic, but I need one advice here. This is the problem: On webhost4life I have a sub-domain like 1.carmo.ws which gives this URL: HYPERLINK "http://1.carmo.ws/index.php?title=Main_Page"http://1.carmo.ws/index.php?tit le=Main_Page. Note that the sub-domain remains in its place on the URL. If I use HYPERLINK "http://www.1.carmo.ws/"www.1.carmo.ws, I get this HYPERLINK "http://www.1.carmo.ws/index.php?title=Main_Page"http://www.1.carmo.ws/index .php?title=Main_Page. So, that is perfect. If I have this situation on a Linux account I would be happy, because I would use .htaccess on the sub-domain address and all would be as I want. I just bought one hosting plan on Godaddy.com. Linux account. .htaccess works fine, but… Godaddy treats my sub-domains in an odd way: if I type 1.carmo.ws I would get this URL: HYPERLINK "http://www.carmo.ws/1/index.php?title=Main_Page"http://www.carmo.ws/1/index .php?title=Main_Page. Note that they changed my URL. I have no more my sub-domain in the address bar on my browser. For me, that is a redirection of my URL without my consent! And it is very odd too. Maybe it is a question of some trick I might have to do with my DNS Record File configuration. Play with A records or Cnames. I don’t know. Perhaps, some one here has a Linux account on Godaddy.com servers and can help me out? Perhaps, I should pay more for a better service? I hope not!:) Thanks again for all help, mauro. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Webhost4live Server: * PHP Version 4.3.11-dev; * Mediawiki: 1.5.2; * shared hosting account with www.Webhost4life.com, on a Windows Server 2003, IIS-based environment.
