Maps and Semantic Maps 0.6.1 released
by Jeroen De Dauw 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Maps [0] and Semantic Maps [1] 0.6.1 have been released, and are available for download [2]. This release does not add any new features to 0.6, but contains multiple important bugfixes [3, 4]. People running 0.6 are advised to upgrade. Especially people using Semantic Maps 0.6 in conjunction with Semantic Forms, as the mapping form inputs in 0.6 will output invalid coordinates when editing existing ones or inserting new ones.

namespaces for languages?
by Daniel Barrett 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

I recently set up a multilanguage wiki farm using interwiki prefixes in the "interwiki" table: "en" refers to en.mywiki.com, "de" refers to de.mywiki.com, etc. But I was wondering: could *namespaces* be used instead of interwiki prefixes? That is, if my wiki has an "en" namespace, a "de" namespace, etc., will MediaWiki's multilanguage code recognize and use them for interlanguage links? In our particular case, we want articles of all languages to be in the same set of database tables, and this would seem an efficient way to make it happen. Any reason this wouldn't work? Or is it a bad idea? Thanks, DanB

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Wildcard Search Fail
by Samuel Marchand 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

Thanks for the help ! I had a little compatibility problem, because the /etc/my.cnf file didn't exist on this mySql version. It was replaced by a /bin/my.ini file. But now this works fine.

Wildcard Search Fail
by Samuel Marchand 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

Hello ! My problem is when I try to make a search with a wildcard, the search engine doesn't return me any page. For example, if I search "to*", the search engine won't return me any solution, and I know "tools" page exists. I've experimented the same problem on MediaWiki 1.16 beta1 and on 1.15.3, with and without semantic mediawiki enabled. I'm using IE8 (yes it's a shame, but the users are not interested in changing their habits...) on WinXP, and my server is managed by XAMPP 1.7.2. Could you explain me what could be the origin of tthe problem, so I could correct it ? Regards

Question: Redirect
by Huib Laurens 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ethan Kibe <erk5072(a)psu.edu> Date: 2010/6/2 Subject: Question: Redirect To: mediawiki-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hello, I am one of the editors of a privately hosted wiki page. I am quite fond of the redirect syntax that allows me to easily improve the search-ability of the contained wiki. However, a partner group has recently granted editorial access to me and viewing access to the people in my group. What I would like to do is start redirecting our pages to their pages but there does not seem to be a way of doing this. Is there a way to do this? Or would it be possible for you to develop a method for doing this, as I am sure that I would not be the only one to find this functionality appealing. Also it would be nice to be able to redirect to any webpage. Please email me back. Regards, Ethan Kibe -- -- Huib "Abigor" Laurens Tech team www.wikiweet.nl - www.llamadawiki.nl - www.forgotten-beauty.com - www.huiblaurens.nl - www.wikiweet.org

Semantic Notifications aren't being added to the queue
by Alex Shapovalov 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi all, I am attempting to use the Semantic Notifications extension to MediaWiki, but I can't seem to find the final piece to the puzzle. I have SMW installed along with SMWHalo, SMWGardening, and of course Semantic Notifications. All of the extensions installed just fine(I did the recommended test for each upon install). Although all of the extensions are installed Semantic Notifications aren't working properly. When I attempt to add a semantic query to the "watch list", so I can be notified of the result set of the query changes, nothing happens. No matter what, the query is not being added to the "watch list" and therefore no notifications come in. I also noticed that the Semantic Notifications bot is not listed under the Semantic Gardening special page. If anyone has had a similar issue, or could guide me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. BTW I am running: MediaWiki 1.15.4 SemanticMediaWiki 1.5.1 SMWHalo 1.5.0 Semantic Gardening 1.3.1 Semantic Notifications 1.1 Thank you. Alex.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Moral standards

> That is a moral standard. Freedom is more important then moral > imperative. Freedom is subject to obligations. You have the "freedom" - read, "power" - to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater. You '''don't''' have a right to do so. > I do not have the freedom to vandalise Wikipedia. Sure you do. People do it all the time. But you don't have a '''right''' to do so. And you don't have a '''right''' to fill this list with off-topic issues. Create a new list, and let others exercise '''their''' freedom to spend allocate their time on lists as they choose.

{{cquote}}
by Steve VanSlyck 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

On Wikipedia, is there a way to change the color of the images used in the {{cquote}} template without uploading a new image. I expect this could reasonably start with SUBST:ing the template to get the code, but what about the image or the image color?
