questy captcha
by Jonathan Aquilina 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

I am part of the document foundation infrastructure team, the organization which produces libreoffice. After extensive testing we have found that questy captcha is the best at preventing a big chunk of spam. There have been quite a few complaints about the plugin not supporting native languages. I was told in the dev channel that it is somethign that emufarmers is working on. Is there a way I can contribute to this effort? The way I was thinking of doign it is having questy somehow detect the language of the web browser the person is using. Thanks for any feed back or suggestions Regards -- Jonathan Aquilina

Have released a modified version of the Monaco skin
by Arcane 21 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

I have just finished making a fork of Daniel Friesen (Dantman's) port of the Monaco skin for anyone who likes using the skin but has found it has display errors when used with certain extensions (like WikiEditor), especially on the latest versions of MediaWiki. This forked version has several edits to make it more compatible with more recent versions of MediaWiki, mostly CSS tweaks and a compatibility patch for users of the WikiEditor extension. I'm not very experienced with GitHub, but I have tested the project linked below and it works fine for me, so I would like to share my fork with the MediaWiki community: https://github.com/Arcane21/monaco-port I hope it was not inappropriate to use this mailing list to share this, so if it was, I apologize, but I thought this might benefit the MediaWiki community, and I hope it proves useful.

Retrieving interlanguage links with the MediaWIki API
by Magda 11 Sep '13

11 Sep '13

Hi! Can anyone tell me how to retrieve interlanguage links from the WikiData in batch mode (i.e. for a list of articles)? I have tried running the following query, but it only works with a list of maximum 50 articles: http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&sites=enwiki&titles=… Is there any way I can do this for an arbitrary number of articles? Is there any other way of retrieving interlanguage correspondences between Wikipedia articles? (Since this info is no longer available in the Wikipedia dumps) Sorry if my question sounds silly, but I'm not very familiar with the MediaWiki API and I didn't find this information elsewhere. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks, Magda

Error: could not open single-table tablespace file .\mysql\innodb_table_stats.ibd
by Ben Crane 11 Sep '13

11 Sep '13

Morning all, My Spec: Windows 7 (64bit) Xampp 2.3.1 Apache 2.4.2 MySQL 5.6.11 PHP 5.5.3 Just installed MediaWiki over the weekend to have a play and so far so good...but...this morning when I tried to get back in I got the following error message: *Warning*: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in * E:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\Beki\includes\objectcache\SqlBagOStuff.php* on line * 232* *Warning*: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in * E:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\Beki\includes\objectcache\SqlBagOStuff.php* on line * 232* A database error has occurred. Did you forget to run maintenance/update.php after upgrading? See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Run_the_update_script Query: SELECT page_title FROM `page` WHERE page_is_redirect = '0' AND page_namespace = '8' AND (page_title NOT LIKE '%/%' ) AND (page_len > 10000) Function: MessageCache::loadFromDB(en)-big Error: 1146 Table 'beki.page' doesn't exist (127.0.0.1) MySQL had not started so retried but still no joy so check the log file which said: InnoDB: Error: could not open single-table tablespace file .\mysql\innodb_table_stats.ibd InnoDB: We do not continue the crash recovery, because the table may become InnoDB: corrupt if we cannot apply the log records in the InnoDB log to it. InnoDB: To fix the problem and start mysqld: InnoDB: 1) If there is a permission problem in the file and mysqld cannot InnoDB: open the file, you should modify the permissions. InnoDB: 2) If the table is not needed, or you can restore it from a backup, InnoDB: then you can remove the .ibd file, and InnoDB will do a normal InnoDB: crash recovery and ignore that table. InnoDB: 3) If the file system or the disk is broken, and you cannot remove InnoDB: the .ibd file, you can set innodb_force_recovery > 0 in my.cnf InnoDB: and force InnoDB to continue crash recovery here. So I went to the MediaWiki site and ran the update.php file and then re-tried, no joy. I then removed the ibdata1 and voila MySQL restarts but I still get the same error with MediaWiki. I restart my machine in case that will help and all of a sudden the original problem re-appears with MySQL not starting and the ibdata1 re-surfaced. I repeated all the steps - same outcome... So now I'm a little stuck. I have generated a couple test pages over the weekend in MediaWiki so not completely committed to it but this worries me going forward as if it's already falling over so early I don't want to lose any of my work if I commit and build hundreds of pages Cheers Ben
