Hello everyone, I am happy to announce the initial release 1.0.0 of the Mermaid extension [0] created by James Hong Kong. It requires MediaWiki 1.27 and later as well as PHP 5.6 and later. It provides the #mermaid parser function to support the generation of diagrams and flowcharts with the help of the mermaid script language, e.g. flowcharts, sequence diagrams and gantt diagrams. See the README [1] to learn what this extension is all about. Cheers Karsten [0] https://bit.ly/mermaid-100 [1] https://bit.ly/mermaid-readme

Why is MW 1.28 obsolete?

by Evans, Richard K. (GRC-H000)

Can anyone say simply why 1.28 is obsolete and 1.27 is still supported? I'm not looking for anything too technical. I'm just curious as to what went wrong. Sounds like there must be an interesting story there. -Rich

I have a query that returns over 15,000 rows and it returns this error, Category: Pages where template include size is exceeded. Is there a default size limit that can be changed? Thanks, Phil

references - linkback after reference text

by Bri

Is there a means to place the linkback numbers after the text of the reference? When there are a large number of backlinks, it can be difficult to read. Currently it appears as: 1. ↑ ^1.00 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 1.05 Text of reference. Is there a way to have it look like: 1. ↑ Text of reference. ^1.00 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 1.05

Using MediaWiki to front-end a log server?

by John Lewis

Hello everyone, Has anyone use MediaWiki plus Cargo or SMW to act as a fronted-end to a SQL based log aggregation sever? It would be trivial to access and mix historical data and notes about servers with that kind of setup. If someone has already made this as a product or a project, this is your chance to plug.

(no subject)

by Jefsey

I am a user of the mediawiki softwares to build specialized SQLite wikis - as a user/author personal management tool/interface/blog, etc. that can be replicated for back-up and convenience on several machines. I run this way several hundred of thematics or friends' sites I name "bliks" ("live book in line"). This allows publishing/maintaining documentation/debate/research/local pages/personal positions/etc. without being limited by the wikipedic neutrality I am asked to make it a product that friends and cities could use. The way I manage the farm of them calls for one hour or two to set one bliks with all the basic pages, images, etc. I am willing to consider a deployment package on an USB key or as part of an extended LAMP installation. However, this should be rationalized to integrate it with other non-mediawiki features. So, I would be interested in knowing (sorry for the number of questions) : - if someone has attempted such a project already ? - where could I find a simple (images included) comprehensive description of the mediawiki software system architecture ? - if there is a place where every command made possible by main/extensions solutions and the corresponding PHP tool(s) are listed and introduced - or how should I proceed to build such a reference ? - if there were attempts to use functional programming to support the mediawiki core (server side) instead of PHP ? This must is to stay fully compatible with the mediwiki page format. - if there is a reliable way to protect access/write rights on single pages (so no one else than a specific authorized user can update a page ?) - last but not least: would there be some interested in sharing in my project (on/outside of this list) ? Thank you of your help jfcm

Potential 1 day hackathon in London on February 3

by John Lubbock

Hello developers, I would like to gauge the community's interest in taking part in a 1 day hackathon in London on February 3. It's a bit short notice, but we have been offered 1 day during a more general hackathon on the future of Wikis. It's going under the general title of Darvoz (Portugese for 'to give voice') and Katherine Maher will be in London during that evening and will be giving a talk at the same venue from 7-9. So I would like to see how many developers would be interested to come down and join in a hackathon and attend the talk in the evening. At the moment, it's undecided what the focus of the hackathon would be, but that's why I would like to see if any community members could come and take part, and potentially help me to organise the day. Please let me know if you are interested and if you could come to London (if you might need somewhere to stay the night, or if you might need travel expenses to get there) for that day. Here's the darvoz.org site.

Visualizing Knowledge creation in mediawiki

by Evans, Richard K. (GRC-H000)

Folks, I recently saw the following video [0] created with a tool called Gource [1] that shows the software development of the Enterprise Mediawiki project Meza [2] and I was wondering if anyone has done anything like this to show the creation of articles and edits in a wiki. Has anyone seen or done anything like this for Mediawiki? What a fabulous tool this would be to show management the growth of knowledge in an organization.
