page quality (FA, FL, A, GA, B, ...)
by Farkas, Illes 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Dear All, At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:FA-Class_Hip_hop_articles several types of page quality are listed: Unassessed, Template, Cat., ... , FL, FA. Does each Wikipedia page have such a ranking ? Or only pages in projects or portals (e.g., hip-hop) ? Thanks.

connection between dump files: pages-meta-history and pages-meta-current
by Farkas, Illes 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hello, I've attached questions about the dump files pages-meta-history and pages-meta-current. Sorry for the details, questions are marked with (1) and (2). Please, let me know, if I misunderstood something. Thanks a lot. =============================== (1) Is the following statement correct? The dump file "pages-meta-history" lists all versions (revisions) of each page and the dump file "pages-meta-current-yyyymmdd" contains for each page only one of these versions (revisions): the last version of the page before the day yyyymmdd I try to test this statement on a small wiki and download from iawiki (interlingua) these two files: iawiki-20090201-pages-meta-history.xml.7z iawiki-20080308-pages-meta-current.xml.bz2 Now I search for the page "Actualitates" in both files: $ cat iawiki-20080308-pages-meta-current.xml | grep \<title | grep Actualitates <title>Actualitates</title> <title>Wikipedia:Actualitates</title> <title>Categoria:Actualitates</title> <title>Discussion:Actualitates</title> $ 7z e -so iawiki-20090201-pages-meta-history.xml.7z | grep \<title | grep Actualitates <title>Portal:Actualitates</title> <title>Categoria:Actualitates</title> <title>Discussion Portal:Actualitates</title> A look at http://ia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actualitates reveals that the page "Actualitates" existed earlier on iawiki, but it has been deleted. (2) Is the following statement correct? : The dump file "pages-meta-history-yyyymmdd" contains the histories of ___exactly___ those (not more and not fewer) pages that exist on the selected day (yyyymmdd). ===============================

MediaWiki Apache Confusion
by Shannon Adams 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

I am in the process of migrating my existing MediaWiki installation over to a new server running CentOS 5.2. I have the following installed on the new server: MediaWiki 1.13.4 PHP 5.1.6 MySQL 5.0.45 MediaWiki is installed under /var/www/html/intranet. The full URL to the main page on the old site is http://intranet.company.com/wiki-it/index.php/Main_Page. The new one should be same except for intranet2.company.com... I am using another application on this server that uses apache. When I browse to http://intranet2.company.com/wiki-it/index.php/Main_Page, it brings up the other application. I have the following in my /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf file: <VirtualHost 10.9.10.212> ServerName rtnew.company.com ServerAdmin sadams(a)company.com DocumentRoot /opt/rt3/share/html AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl <Directory /opt/rt3/share/html> Order allow,deny Allow from all SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler RT::Mason </Directory> </VirtualHost> Do I need to add to this file or create a new conf file under /etc/httpd/conf.d so that my new MediaWiki page comes up (http://intranet2.company.com/wiki-it/index.php/Main_Page)? What needs to go in there? Thanks for any help. Shannon

MW 1.14 and DPL
by Daniel Barrett 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

DPL (Dynamic Page List extension) has a problem with MediaWiki 1.14.0rc1. Any DPL tags that select on the Image namespace (e.g., namespace=Image) break because Image has been renamed to File. I'm surprised this breaks DPL. I filed a bug report on the DPL web site. Just letting people know, as this may require manual fixes to DPL tags after deployment. DanB

To add to this: http://10.9.10.212/wiki-it/index.php/Main_Page brings up the other application (/opt/rt3/share/html) and not the login page for my new Wiki.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Error creating thumbnail
by Henny Savenije 19 Feb '09

Never mind. I found a solution which works Instead of adding the $wgUseImageMagick and $wgImageMagickConvertCommand variables to LocalSettings.php, add this line instead: $wgCustomConvertCommand = "/usr/sfw/bin/convert -resize %wx%h %s %d"; This line is documented in DefaultSettings.php and is meant for using another graphics library like GM. But instead, I just added in the convert command for ImageMagick 5.x.

Welcome to mediawiki-l (weekly posting)
by river＠hemlock.toolserver.org 19 Feb '09

Welcome to mediawiki-l. This mailing list exists for discussion and questions about the MediaWiki software[0]. Important MediaWiki-related announcements (such as new versions) are also posted to this list. Other resources. If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to mediawiki-announce[1] instead. MediaWiki development discussion, and all Wikimedia technical questions, should be directed to the wikitech-l[2] mailing list. Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist: - mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions, - mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise, - mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subversion repository, - mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support, - wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker. List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives). To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [12]. Archives of previous postings can be found at [3]. This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to read and post to the list. Posting to the list. Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if your question has been asked before. Please try to ask your question in a way that enables people to answer you. Provide all relevant details, explain your problem clearly, etc. You may wish to read [13], which explains how to ask questions well. To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you send. When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting style[11], for clarity. When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post. Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list, which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the list in general, you should change the reply to only go to that person. This avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic. About this message. This message is posted to the list once per week by <river(a)wikimedia.org>.

Why aren't some thumbnails created? http://www.genealogy.henny-savenije.pe.kr/mediawiki/index.php/Afbeelding:Pe… Granted, the image is pretty big, but in other cases the thumbnails of similar images was created fine.

Watchlist not sending out e-mails
by elc pub 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hello ! I am trying to get email working for pages that are watched when modified. I have installed Pear mail and got $wgSMTP configured. I tested Pear mail with a standalone program and that works just fine. Even the "E-mail new password" on the log-in works just fine. I tested with two users (as we should for generating mail for watchlist). No luck. Any ideas folks ? Thanks, elcpub
