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

1.5.x and later versions should offer a PHP view under
Special:Allmessages. You can copy and paste this into the
LanguageXX.php file (backup first) in the right place, then run
rebuildMessages.php.

First of all, can I point all those reading this thread to the
discussion of "bug 2065"
[http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2065] about making
exactly this option available "not for Wikipedia use, but a
configurable option". It includes links to some of the discussions of
why this proposal has been shot down in the past with reference to
Wikipedia itself.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It does not work using syntax of external

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:

I've been trying to fix this all evening. 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".
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hallo!
at the beginning of
http://yi.wiktionary.org/wiki/project:bugzilla/02042#more_test_links_availa…
there are three links regarding tests with *Unicode Character NO-BREAK
SPACE - U+00A0*
1.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - tried to generate the UTF-8 character with
"copy and paste" in Firefox
2.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - tried to generate the UTF-8 character with
"copy and paste" in Outlook Express
3.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - tried to generate the UTF-8 character with
"copy and paste" in Word
4.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - generated with  
5.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - generated with
I copied the fourth link on a Windows XP SP2 system
1 in Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12)
Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7)
2 in Outlook Express
3 in Word
However I was not able to copy and generate the correct link using an
UTF-8 character.
Is this
a) a MediaWiki character conversion issue
b) an issue related to the operating system
c) an issue related to the used programs
Would be happy about your feedback.

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.
