Bonjour à tous Je viens de télécharger la nouvelle version de LibreOffice Writer 5.3.1, mais mon ennui persiste ... J'ai déjà investi des heures pour tenter le résoudre moi-même ... Dites-moi, est-il possible (et comment faire) de : 1. Faire en sorte que ne s'affiche pas le pied-de-page (l'espace entre chaque page) sans y double-cliquer à chaque fois ? Je n'y voudrais de séparation que la ligne simple. 2. Faire en sorte que ne s'affiche pas le champ de l'en-tête flottant (avec la ligne et l'espace) : "En-tête (Style par défaut)" en bleu pâle, à chaque fois que je clique dans la marge supérieure ou inférieure de chaque page) ? Ah! sauvez ma patience je vous prie ! Merci mille fois !! É l o i -- 💦 é l o i Colpron 🔆 ⇒ ♥ ⇐ ~ consciousness in pleasure, and pleasure in consciousness : this is love ~

Fantastic MediaWikis - Track at Wikimedia Hackathon - CfP
by Markus Glaser 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

Hello everyone, "Fantastic MediaWikis and How to Maintain Them" is a one-day conference track designed for people who work with the open source software MediaWiki in their organisation, company or business [1]. The conference track is curated by the MediaWiki Stakeholders Group and hosted by Wikimedia Austria. The track is part of Wikimedia's biggest annual tech-event, the Wikimedia Hackathon [2]: For three days each year, about 200 developers come together to improve MediaWiki. Among the participants are coders from the Wikimedia Foundation as well as volunteers from all over the world. We're using this opportunity to connect the people who work with MediaWiki in their enterprise, company, or organisation to the people who actually develop the code. We invite all MediaWiki stakeholders - power-users, maintainers, and service providers, who have a professional or semi-professional interest in the software - to join us for a day full of MediaWiki knowledge and networking! This is a call for participation. We are specifically looking for contributions of your experience in running MediaWikis. These include but are not confined to: * Use Cases. Tell us how and why you use MediaWiki in a specific area or to solve a specific problem. * Best Practices. Talk about the most effective way you have found to use particular MediaWiki features. * Enhancements. Have you improved MediaWiki to fit your needs? Show us your solution. * Challenges. How can we all add to MediaWiki functionality? Do you have specific ideas you want to collaborate on? Share your experience and submit a presentation here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Stakeholders%27_Group/Fantastic_Me… Important dates: * 20th March 2017: Call for Participation opens * 5th April 2017: Submission deadline * 10th April 2017: Notification of acceptance * 19th - 21st May 2017: Vienna Hackathon We are looking forward to your submissions!

Media Viewer isn't available
by martin knaup 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

(1) Thanks ruud for helping in my first email. This problem is solved. (2) My second (and at the moment last) question is: The Media Viewer isn't available in my personal wiki. The help writes, that this feature is enabled by default but there is nothing. Making it easier for you to give me some hints, I create a public playground with exact the same settings like my personal wiki. http://wiki.martinknaup.com/playground/index.php/Main_Page I really like this feature and want it. So I need your help again. Thanks. Martin

Re: [MediaWiki-l] "Working with MediaWiki" 2nd edition now available (including for free)

Hi, I wrote the O'Reilly book. Yaron's book is surely more current with Mediawiki syntax and development practices. Go buy it. :-) Where my book stands out, even today, is in coverage of the practical, big-picture issues of planning, rolling out, and maintaining a wiki in a large, corporate environment. (For example, see Chapter 10, "Practical wiki design.") My team at Vistaprint runs possibly the largest and most successful corporate wiki in the U.S. if not the world. It's 10 years old this Friday and has 250K topics, thousands of users, 100+ custom extensions, and a full-time software development staff since its inception. So we've accumulated a lot of wisdom, and I tried to distill some of it into the book. FYI, my direct report, Daniel Renfro, presented on some of our work and our current challenges at EMWcon last week. DanB

Semantic MediaWiki 2.5.0 released
by [[kgh]] 15 Mar '17

15 Mar '17

Hello everyone, we are happy to announce the immediate availability of the Semantic MediaWiki 2.5.0 release: [0,1]. This is a big release bringing a lot of new features and improvements as well as bug fixes. ## Version highlights * Full-text search in property values introduced Support for full-text search was added using the native capabilities of the SQL backends "MySQL"/"MariaDB" (#1481) and "SQLite" (#1801) for the "Text", "URL" and "Page" datatypes. * Provenance data recording introduced Qualifying facts using a simple provenance model is now supported (#1808) using existing mechanisms in defining a property specification together with a new "Reference" datatype. * Property chain and language filter support in result printouts introduced Property chains for conditions (e.g [[Located in.Capital of::Foo]]) was provided for some time, and now got extended (#1824) to supporting the syntax on print requests to retrieve values of a chain member that represent a page node. Values of datatype "Monolingual Text" can now use a language filter (#2037) to restrict the display of a value in a print request. * Edit protection for better semantic gardening introduced Edit protection to help avoid changes to properties or other data sensitive pages from alterations that may cause data invalidations (e.g. change of a property type, inconsistent specifications etc.) or process disruptions. This feature integrates with MediaWiki's page protection functionality. * Preferred property label support introduced Semantic MediaWiki now supports the declaration of preferred property labels (#1865) with the objective to show labels in a user context on special pages, query results, and factboxes instead of the canonical property label. * Query result cache for better performance introduced Caching of query results (#1251) was added as experimental feature to minimize a possible impact of query processing during and after a page view. This change also includes a reevaluation (#2099, #2176) of the query hash (used as identifier) to ensure that cache fragmentation is reduced and duplicate queries can share the same cache across different pages. * Links in values feature now working reliably Support for links in values for datatype "Text" was extended by use-cases and improved in performance as well as avoiding the former error-prone "PCRE-approach". * Fixed properties now a stable feature Support for fixed properties was overhauled, fixed (#2135) and is no longer experimental. * Special page "SemanticMediaWiki" formerly "SMWAdmin" overhauled and extended Special page "SemanticMediaWiki" formerly known as special page "SMWAdmin" was modernized and extended (#2044, etc.) including a new configuration setting allowing for a more fine-granded control over feature accessibilty (#2142). See the release notes [0] for these highlights and for much more information on the features, enhancements, changes as well as fixes this release additionally brings to you. ## Compatibility changes Semantic MediaWiki 2.5.0 dropped support for PHP 5.4 and lower as well as MediaWiki 1.22 and lower. See also the compatibility notes [2] for detailed information on supported environments. ## Installing and upgrading If you are using Semantic MediaWiki via Composer, update the version in your "composer.json" or "composer.local.json" file to "~2.5" and run "composer update". If you are using the tarballs, you can download them here: [1]. Remember to also update your database afterwards by running "update.php" due to schema changes and new database tables. If you would like to install Semantic MediaWiki you can follow the installation instructions: [3]. ## Contributors At this point we would like to thank all people involved making this release possible: James Hong Kong, Karsten Hoffmeyer, Jeroen De Dauw, Niklas Laxström, translatewiki.net translators, Maciej Brencz, Felipe de Jong, Siebrand Mazeland, Alex Winkler, Stephan Gambke, Toni Hermoso Pulido, Amir E. Aharoni, Felipe Schenone, Jaider Andrade Ferreira, James Forrester, Justin Du, Sébastien Beyou, Virginia Cepeda. We also encourage your continued contributions: [4]. Thank you to all of you for using Semantic MediaWiki. We wish you a pleasant time and a lot of success doing so. - The SMW development team [0] https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki_2.5.0 [1] https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/releases/tag/2.5.0 [2] https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/docs/COM… [3] https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/docs/INS… [4] https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/CONTRIBU…

Page Forms-like extension for Wikibase? Using Semantic MediaWiki with Wikibase?
by Greg S 15 Mar '17

15 Mar '17

I am interested in running a local instance of wikibase, but I would like a custom interface to edit statements. It would be great if I had a form-like interface, which, once filled out, would generate the statements. This would be useful for editing data for a specific class of item, that all have certain properties. In addition, I'd like to restrict possible values for certain fields and be able to have dropdown menus. Does anything like this exist? Is there a way to use Page Forms (i.e. Semantic MediaWiki) with Wikibase? What is the wikidata online editing interface even called? Thanks

"Working with MediaWiki" 2nd edition now available (including for free)
by Yaron Koren 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce that the 2nd edition of my MediaWiki reference book, "Working with MediaWiki", has been released. This is the only MediaWiki reference book published since 2010, as far as I know, so it's the de facto authoritative reference for MediaWiki - other than the contents of mediawiki.org. "Working with MediaWiki" was first released in 2012, and an updated version was released in 2014, but this is the official 2nd edition. Changes in this 2nd edition include: - A new foreword by Daniel Robbins, founder of Gentoo Linux and Funtoo Linux - Much of the content on Semantic MediaWiki was replaced by content on the Cargo extension, which I think is now the better solution for data storage - Lots of other updated content to handle the various changes to the software in the last three years. The biggest change, though, is that the book is now available for free online. Given MediaWiki's presence in both the open source and "open knowledge" worlds, I'm excited to have this book be similarly freely available. It's also still available (at cost), though, in printed and e-book forms. If this were six months from now, I would say that the book makes a great holiday gift, but instead I'll say that it makes for great beach reading. You can read more about "Working with MediaWiki" here: http://workingwithmediawiki.com And the entire book can now be viewed here: http://workingwithmediawiki.com/book -Yaron -- WikiWorks · MediaWiki Consulting · http://wikiworks.com

MediaWiki mailing list emails exposed to potential spam
by ahmadfarooq123＠gmail.com 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Found out a few days ago that email addresses for people using MediaWiki mailing lists have been archived at gossamer threads. While at some places they have been converted to images, but at others, they are clearly readable by a bot as has been done by google. Gossamer threads don't seem to list any contact details. Anyone from the WikiMedia foundation has any information on how to get those removed? --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
