Has the parser just been changed with regards to tildes (~~~~) inside
HTML comments? It appears they used to be ignored, and are now
suddenly being replaced en masse the next time someone edits the page
(and can't be easily reverted - it just changes the sig to the
reverter's instead). See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/2006-06-02-ear…
for an example.
I distinctly remember there was a way to add a title to a special page
simply by entering in a URL, then adding the title to the wiki edit
field, and then saving. The new "writing a new special page" how-to is
very confusing - and it wants me to write PHP to get the title to show
up. There was an easier way...
I can't find this how-to anywhere- though I'm sure it used to exist. FX
can you walk me through how you've added a wiki page title to a special
page?
Thanks!

That page seems to have changed, it now just has a pointer to an
article about writing an extension which really doesn't seem to build
a special page.
I just figured out how to build a new special page which is like the
Uncategorized pages page, but looks at the Image namespace. I wrote it
up at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Writing_a_new_special_page

I'm currently trying to adapt several gadgets that are meant for wikis using the Monobook/Vector skins to the Monaco skin, and so far, I've managed to successfully port over the UTC Clock gadget and Sandbox page gadget to Monaco, but aside from those I've been having trouble since, frankly, my knowledge of Javascript/JQuery is slim and I'm not familiar with all the variables used in writing user scripts. I've fairly decent with CSS style sheets, but I still need help with Javascript, so does anyone know of some good resources I could look into, preferably tailored for writing scripts on MediaWiki?
Also, if anyone wants to see what I have done so far (and have released publicly), the wiki I have been testing my live gadget/user script code on is here:

Hi,
I am thinking seriously about creating, or at least helping to oversee the
creation of, a MediaWiki extension that lets users create flowcharts for
use in BPM (business process management, or business process modeling). The
extension would most likely be a wrapper around bpmn-js, an open source
JavaScript library that does this sort of thing pretty nicely:
http://bpmn.io/toolkit/bpmn-js/
There already is a MediaWiki extension that includes bpmn-js - Cognitive
Process Designer:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cognitive_Process_Designer
However, my understanding is that it no longer works with recent versions
of MediaWiki. Also, I disagree with some of the design decisions made on
that extension, so I think creating a new extension makes sense.
I'm not actually looking for funding or development help at the moment -
though both of those would be great to have - but rather some advice. I'm
looking for people who have dealt with BPM, and would like to be able to
edit and display such charts, and BPM information in general, in a wiki. If
this description fits you, please email me back - I have a bunch of
questions and ideas I want to bounce off other people.

Hi,
A new episode of the MediaWiki podcast Between the Brackets has been
published (well, it was published yesterday): an interview with Alex
Tanchoco, who runs the internal wiki at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center in New York City. You can listen to the episode here:

Hello Andre,
I believe that this mailing list is run with WMF hardware and software, so
I conclude that this is not a community mailing list any more than
Wikipedia is a community website. They are both under the technical and
legal control of WMF, and WMF can intervene at any time in a variety of
ways, although the copyrights to the content usually are owned by
individual contributors (or their employers) and in that sense the content
but not the technical infrastructure is owned by the community. There are
many social processes where WMF chooses not to intervene, and community
members have developed varied and sometimes sophisticated self-governance
mechanisms, but that does not mean that WMF has permanently gifted control
of its infrastructure to the community or that this is a mailing list that
is not run with WMF money. Maybe a way to think about the issue is that
both WMF and the community share space on this mailing list, with hardware
and technical services belonging to WMF, and content mostly belonging to
individual contributors or to their employers.
I think that WMF resources generally should not be used for advertising
third party services, whether or not they are related to the subject of a
mailing list. I would feel differently if this mailing list was not a WMF
resource that is supported by donations that I think donors intend for the
benefit of Wikipedia and the sister projects.
I am more accepting of an on-wiki list of third party related services,
such as the one that you linked. Also, I don't want to discourage good
faith discussion of third party MediaWiki services, such as if someone asks
for advice regarding which provider to select, but I think that the email
announcement that started this thread is far removed from acceptable uses
for WMF donor funded resources such as this mailing list.
If someone wants to propose a change to the mailing list description, they
can try that. My interpretation of the existing description is that
advertising is not allowed on this list, and I think that is the way that
it should be. On the other hand, I am not sensing much support in this
thread for enforcing my interpretation of policy or my views of appropriate
uses for donor-supported resources, so I won't press this issue further at
this time unless I hear more support for my views.

Pine, I hope WMF Legal won't care and won't comment. They likely have
better things to spend time on than telling a community how they may or
may not define the scope of one of the community mailing lists.
As a general reminder,

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know what happened to the Referata MediaWiki hosting service (http://referata.com) - it seems to have died or something, as no site hosted under Referata's domain name, nor the main "meta" website itself is accessible. CC'ing Yaron Koren who I believe is the lead sysadmin of the service. If we have indeed lost another free MediaWiki host, I will definitely say that it is a major setback and has the potential to impact many poeple. Too many free MediaWiki hosts have either died, had a change of management and are now ad-spammed, and/or have become pay-only services.
