I've just finished preparing the first release candidate for MediaWiki 1.21 and I'd like your help testing it before the final release. Please download the release candidate and test it. If you find any bugs please report them on Bugzilla[1] and make sure I am added as a CC so that we can fix any show-stoppers before the final release. Finally, if you could also look over https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21, I'll be using an edited version of that to make the final announcement. If you spot problems or areas that could use clarification, your help in improving it would be appreciated.

Spambots and CPU usage
by Dan Fisher 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Some spam bots specifically target wikis (edit/create page and then enter data). I don't have problems with spammers actually getting through and submitting spam. The anti-spam is strong enough to stop that from happening. The problem is that they still use CPU and ram. I know about Fail2ban but I haven't tried it yet. Here's one idea: If a certain IP address fails the captchas a specified number of times in 5 minutes or so, it should be banned temporarily for say, 24 hours (through htaccess or firewall etc). This would keep that IP address from using up CPU for some time and reduce overall CPU. Anyone who has already implemented something like this?

How do I police my Media Wiki wiki's ?
by Aaron Gray 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hi, What extensions are available to police my Media Wiki's ? I have several personal computer language ones which I will want to make public at some point. And more to the point I am wanting to put up a quite high profile one that may/probably get attacked for having political information on it. Many thanks in advance, Aaron

Suggestion: a proper catalog for extensions
by Quim Gil 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hi, this is a heads up about this suggestion: A proper catalog for extensions https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46704 We want to know whether this could become a good candidate for the Outreach Program for Women: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women Feedback welcome (especially in the bug report). All the better if someone wants to step in as potential mentor for this project. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Applying for GSoC - Mediawiki
by sandeep kumar 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Hi, I am sandeep and pursuing my MS by Research at IIIT-Hyderabad. I am thinking of applying for GSoC this year. I have gone through the ideas page of mediawiki and find the following ideas quite apt for me to work on. 1. Visual Editor Plugins. 2. Proofread extension needs to be refactored. 3. Prototyping inline comments. I am quick learner and a good programmer. I have good knowledge in *C, C++, Python,Java* etc.. Apart from these, because of my interest in web development i learned *PHP, HTML, MySQL, JavaScript, JQuery* etc.. and implemented several websites for small startups. With the development of websites, i think i gained some experience in UI design as well. Please let me know of further details if i want to work on any of these ideas as part of GSoC. Thank you, Sandeep, MS by Research, IIIT-Hyderabad.

Amir E. Aharoni == Babel == Only localization updates. == cldr == === Highlights === * Adding support for time units === Noteworthy changes === * (bug 38209) Remove duplicate array keys == CleanChanges == Only localization updates. == LocalisationUpdate == Internal code cleanup and optimization, making updates faster. == Translate == === Highlights === ==== Translation UX ==== The new Translation UX is getting out of the beta status and becoming release-ready. The variable $wgTranslateUseTux can be used to control which interface will the users see by default. The default value is true. Set it to false to make the old green-style translations editor show by default. The user can choose the editor version by adding tux=0 or tux=1 to the URL. The plan is to remove the old editor in the future. ==== Other notes ==== Several internal fixes were made in File Format Support (FFS) and in core Translate features, but no new features were introduced. See below for details. === Noteworthy changes === ==== Translate UX ==== * Proofreading view added to Translate UX. * Page view added to Translate UX. It is similar to the default "List" view, but it gives every message more space and partially parses the messages rather than show them as plain text. * Added a "Discard changes" button. * Various visual design adjustments. * (bug 45493) Do not consider empty string to mark a translation as "unsaved" * (bug 45481) Move focus to search for the project selector * (bug 45488) Remove delay in enablement of "save translation" button * Allow inserting a translation from the helper language with a click * Workflow state selector is now only shown for groups with states and the correct state is shown ==== File Format Support ==== * (bug 45354) XML for Android export should have escaped ' and " * (bug 42635) Some GettextFFS messages were not unfuzzied on import: Handling of external changes only affecting the fuzzy flag are now handled properly on import * Add fuzzy support to AndroidXmlFFS * Don't create empty files in AndroidXmlFFS * Empty msgctxt is now exported correctly in GettextFFS * (bug 42612) Have PythonSingleFFS observe the supplied mapping of internal language codes to product language codes ==== Other ==== * The "Recent Additions" filter displays only relevant messages - without optional, ignored and discouraged. * Converted the logging code to the new LogFormatter * (bug 44328) Do not display fuzzy translations on translation pages * Fix and speed up translatable pages moving * (bug 45345) Run mapped code through wfBCP47() == UniversalLanguageSelector == === Highlights === UniversalLanguageSelector is updated to the latest version. The latest release of MediaWiki 1.20 supports the recent updates for the preferences handling, and this allows users properly save their ULS preferences. === Noteworthy changes === ==== Display and design ==== * (bug 42384) Don't show the tooltip if the ULS panel is on (preventing the overlap) * (bug 42440) Fix button state when canceling * Styling of settings to fit the bottom of the ULS * (bug 43568) Languages are shown multiple times * (Bug 42439) Incorrect vertical alignment for Telugu web font ==== Webfonts ==== * Support for the Amiri webfont in the standard Arabic language (ar). * Added the Alef font for Hebrew. * Add Tuladha Jejeg font for Javanese ==== Other ==== * (Bug 42378) Make "disable IME tools" effects immediate as a preview * Update jquery.uls and make it more modular * Provide a base ULS RL module and separate UI language selection * The non-standard language code als now redirects to the standard code gsw. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni‏ ። אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי Localization developer‏ ። מְפַתֵּחַ תְּמִיכָה רַב־לְשׁוֹנִית Wikimedia Foundation‏ ። קֶרֶן וִיקִימֶדְיָה
