I've been using perl (Mediawiki::API) to work with the API, since perl is my preferred medium. However, it will not work with the Flagged Revs actions (there is an explicitly limited list of actions that it will work with). Before I go through all of them, does anyone have a recommendation for which client module could do this (ruby, python, php, js -- cannot use .NET or Java here)? -- MK <halfcountplus(a)intergate.com>

Broken database, for sure (was Wrong database, maybe)
by Javier Bezos 12 Mar '10

> When we have had problems it was easier to dump database to sql statements, > drop database, recreate with media wiki setup with all correct settings and > restore the data without drop table instructions. Sounds sensible. Thank you. Unfortutately, as a consequence of one of their changes, data has been partially lost (apparently only redirects and a few templates and images) and I think several tables are corrupted in the sense they contain data which shouldn't be there, so I'm even considering an export and then and import (with history, of course) for articles and the like, and only resort to the database for users (this table seems ok) and the like (just brainstrorming). <sigh> Javier

Re: [Mediawiki-l] CSS/JavaScript mystery on wiki family

OK, appending "action=purge" to the query string, then refreshing the browser, makes the CSS work in all domains. But why is this necessary? DanB

mediawiki extension for citability
by Silona Bonewald 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

So I asked around and was told that this should be the appropriate list to post this too... We are looking for a few brave programmers that believe in the battle cry of "citation needed!" We want to create a special easy to install open source tool for citability on mediawiki. We already have teams in other platforms such as Drupal, DotNetNuke, and Wordpress. We will be demoing this tool and others in front of a gathering of govt officials and employees on April 11th in Washington DC. And again later in California. So many of the citability features already exist in mediawiki: such as the permalinks, the ability to have those permalinks point at a specific paragraph, pubsubhub to a Bazaar archive server instance. We just need to make it easy for govt people to add to a default mediawiki installation. So please sign up http://dccodeathon.eventbrite.com and read more about Citability at citability.pbworks.com or to sign up and work on the addition at http://dccodeathon.pbworks.com/Project Thank you! Silona -- Silona Bonewald Gtalk: Silona(a)gmail.com is the BEST WAY to contact me http://dccodeathon.com http://Silona.org http://citability.org http://citability.pbworks.com http://leagueoftechvoters.org Cell: (704) 750-9220

I run a site on Wikia (which obviously means it uses MediaWiki). What page in the MediaWiki namespace contains the PHP source code for MediaWiki?

Writing extensions for MediaWiki
by Tech Geek 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Hi all, I have been playing with mediawiki for past 6 months and I am getting more and more comfortable with it and I like it a lot. Now I am thinking to start writing extensions for mediawiki starting from very simple (Hello world types) extensions. I am familiar with PHP and have done some LAMP based database driven websites. Can someone recommend a good source/pointers from where I can start learning on how to write extensions? Also I would like to know what is the simplest extension (based on lines of code) for mediawiki that is currently available so that I can look at the source code and learn from it too. Thanks

Texvc Question / Problem
by Charlie Parry 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Hi folks, I'm helping someone get their MediaWiki set up, and they need to use the Texvc module to display the mathematical functions that are part of their content. The host provider (SiteGround) has installed the module, and it does work some of the time, but fails other times. The provider has now declined to offer further support, claiming that the module is correctly installed, so I'm trying to figure out the next step I can take in debugging this 'occasional' problem. An example of the error that we receive is: Failed to parse (unknown error): \theta _{\text{0}} And the page output may be seen here: http://foodprocessmodel.org/index.php?title=Flow_through_Porous_Beds I am new to this list and apologize if I'm asking an old question - I had not yet discovered it in the archives. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Charlie
