Hi,
I'm creating my own custom version of Wikimedia Common's Information
template <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Information> for my
local wiki. My local wiki uses D M YYYY dates (where `M` is month name).
The issue is that I commonly copy files across from commons to my wiki via
Pywikibot (namely its `imagetransfer.py` script) and they commonly use ISO
dates, so I want to make my information template check whether the date
field is a time or not, or whether it contains a time, then if it is a time
or contains a time send the time given through the `{{#time:j F Y}}` parser
to ensure it is in D M YYYY format, but I do not know how to do this. Can
someone, per chance, help me with this? Even if you could tell me how to
check, in wikitext, using perhaps a parser function, whether a variable is
even a time that would be a help. Although, if someone knows how to
separate parts of a date field into time and comments and then send the
time part through this parser function I will be even more grateful.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Hi,
I would like to ask if anyone knows of a free MediaWiki hosting site that
gives one complete control over one's Wiki. I know of Orain Wiki, ShoutWiki
and Wikia but they all give fairly limited over the MediaWiki software
itself. Basically the website I'm looking for is one that provides a place
for my own local Wiki installation on the web for free.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton
Greetings,
In an effort to answer the question, “Who is using MediaWiki?” the MediaWiki
Stakeholder’s Group
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Stakeholders%27_Group> organized
a survey.
We want to hear from existing MediaWiki users and ask that you complete
this short survey about your use of MediaWiki. The results of the survey
will help by providing input that should influence the future development
of MediaWiki. We also hope to grow the community of MediaWiki Users and
improve involvement.
The preliminary results of this survey will be anonymized shared with the
public at the MediaWiki Stakeholder's session at Wikimania 2015
<https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/MediaWiki_Stakeholders…>
and will be posted to MediaWiki.org at a later date
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/2015_MediaWiki_User_Survey>. An anonymized
data set will be available for download as well. This survey is separated
into two parts and should take about 10 minutes to complete.
To include as many MediaWiki users as possible, please help us spread this
survey far and wide. The survey will close on *Friday, July 31st*.

Hi,
In the documentation it says that the 'fullurl' parser function returns a protocol-relative path that can be turned into a link if put between brackets.
On mediawiki.org and wikipedia it works exactly like that, but on my wikis it is turned into a link automatically and therefore unsuitable for my purposes.
Does anybody know what explains the difference and how I can have the documented behavior?

Hi,
1) We have pages written in English and pages written in French and we want
to continue to do the same.
2) We would like to have a "Welcome page" with explanations in English, and
one "Page Acceuil" with explanations in French. How should we set that up.
Thank You for answering.

We are using :
MediaWiki 1.20.3 PHP 5.4.23-1~dotdeb.1 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL

Hi,
Is there a way to detect and register that a user has downloaded/opened a certain file?
So each time someone clicks on a '[[Media:aFile.pdf]]' it is registered that the current user has done that?
Thanks!

Hi Yaron,
These would come from anyone, anytime, impossible to predict them.
That's why I though of button to push, when fields are filled up.

Rachid

Hi Rachid,
Why do you need a button in MediaWiki - why not create all the pages ahead
of time, using a script or some such? Or will these values change over
time? And if so, what is the source for the data?

Hello,
we are thinking about building a Cern encyclopedia with the
Mediawiki-software out of already existing resources and as well Wikipedia
pages, which are related to Cern. We had not the time to get fully into
this topic, but we still did a short research on Wikibase and how we could
implement our resources into the Wikibase-repository. What we couldn't
figure out is how we can get the Wikibase-client to display not only the
linked metadata, but aswell the fulltext articles of the Wikipedia pages in
our own Cern-wiki. Is this even possible or are there other ways to display
a fulltext Wikipedia article into a third-party wiki with the
Mediawiki-software?
Best regards,
Filip Martinu
