Re: [Mediawiki-l] [WikiEN-l] Citizendium vs. Wikipedia

[cc'ed to mediawiki-l] [from wikien-l - discussion of git-backed MediaWiki] 2009/4/23 Gwern Branwen <gwern0(a)gmail.com>: > As it happens, I've thought about this before and have a little > expertise in the issue. I'm one of the developers of a wiki called > Gitit - http://github.com/jgm/gitit/tree/master - written in Haskell. > The most interesting thing about Gitit, besides its ability to export > articles (written in Markdown or ReST) in various formats such as HTML > or PDFs or LaTeX, is that it uses a library called 'filestore' - > http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/filestore - > to access and change articles. While the idea of putting lumps of PHP into an otherwise Haskell project is really quite horrifying, the parser that (literally) defines MediaWiki wikitext could to some degree be made into a module for use elsewhere. I understand it's not entirely cleanly separated out in the MediaWiki codebase, but if you could do that you'd at least have something that quite definitely processed MediaWiki wikitext precisely as MediaWiki does. This might be better for mediawiki-l ... - d.

Redirecting subdomain to specific page
by Matthias Korn 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hi, I need to redirect people entering our wiki through a specific domain or using a specific skin (I only need one of both distinctions) to a specific page. I thought ParserFunctions might be one way to go, but when I do {{#ifeq: 1 | 1 | #REDIRECT [[Specific Page]]}} it prints the redirect instead of redirecting. Any ideas? Maybe other solutions? Best, Matthias -- Rock in China http://wiki.rockinchina.com/ http://www.rockinchina.com/

moving wiki "root"?
by McHale, Nina 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Hi, all, First post--please don't hurt me. :) I installed MediaWiki a couple of months ago to begin using as an intranet for about 80 people in an academic library environment. At the time, the idea was to only have a portion of the intranet be a wiki. Now, I'm sold, and I want to make the wiki the environment for the whole intranet. Question: how do I move the wiki files from /siterootfolder/wiki/ to just having the wiki files be the site root? Can I just dump them into the site root folder, or would that break stuff, including the existing articles? :) Part of my motivation for doing this is shortening URLs even more: http://hostname/wiki/My_Article_Title http://hostname/My_Article_Title I feel like if the intranet is contained entirely within the wiki, we don't need the extra /wiki/ in the URL. Does MediaWiki work okay installed in the site root folder? Oh, and of course, there is already content in the wiki... Thanks in advance for your help, Nina

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.

Documentation for plugins for backup.inc
by Jim Hu 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

One of the great weaknesses of our TableEdit extension (among many!!) is that the extra tables we put into the schema don't pass information into the XML dumps made by dumpBackup.php/backup.inc. We're wondering how to implement this. It looks like there is something in the code for plugins, but I don't understand how those would be used. Thanks!

Placement of the magic words
by Alejandro Exojo 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi. Just a minor issue: which is the rule for the placement of magic words? I've added __NOINDEX__ to the bottom of two pages, and only one worked. Then I moved the text to the top of the problematic page, and it worked. Then I discovered that the problem was not the placement: the page in which the magic word wasn't working was in a category, and I added the [[Category:Foo]] just before the magic word. Is this the expected behaviour? Do the magic words need a special placement or any formatting constraint, or is this a bug? I found it with 1.14.0. Thanks in advance. -- Alex
