anything but a technical issue - which it shouldn't be
since this feature worked before -, then please

Changing XxWikipedia: in-line links to :xx: in-line
links does not solve the problem that XxWikipedia:
does not work. :xx: needs to be reserved for easy
in-line language linking /within/ a single project
(such as Wiktionary when it finally gets
internationalized - xx: links would therefore be magic
language links) and the more explicit Xx{project_name}
should a failsafe default that will work the same in
any MediaWiki-powered project and meta.
Here is the diff that still shows the broken links:

I'll be away from tomorrow morning early and returning Tuesday. I'll
be available by cellphone 24x7, so those of you who have that number
could reach me in an emergency. I will also have net access, although
I don't intend to be online much.
Remember when I had people volunteer for mediation and arbitration
committees? I haven't forgotten. Expect initial appointments to
those committees on December 2nd, when I get back.
If anyone still wants to volunteer, let me know.
Remember -- mediation in this context means "attempting to resolve a
problem without resort to bans or restrictions of any kind, by helping
two parties to a conflict find a mutually satisfactory solution", and
arbitration in this context means "more mediation, but this time with
ultimate resort to bans or restrictions if absolutely necessary".
The idea here is to start working towards a scalable governance
solution that preserves and extends our culture of helpfulness,
openness, and WikiLove.

Hi,
I've given lectures on Wikipedia (in Esperanto) in
Brazil, France, Czech Republic, Belgium, Netherlands
and Sweden before, so if you need help preparing your
lecture, feel free to ask. Probably early next year
I'll be lecturing in Warsaw (Polland). I wrote a
scientific publication for the book: Fakaj Studoj en
Esperanto (Specialist Studies in Esperanto) which has
summaries in English, German and Czech. If you can
read Esperanto, you can read the original text at:
http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikipedio:KAEST_prelego
If you want to see the Esperanto articles I've written
about Wikipedia, you can find links from my userpage
at
http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikipediisto:Chuck_SMITH
Also, an Esperanto radio interview can be found at
http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikipedio:Intervjuo_%C4%89e_Radio_Polonia
(transcription and sound files).
Now I have a question: is there a place in the English
Wikipedia to put these links? If so, are they already
there?
Best wishes,
Chuck

On [[en:Wikipedia:Protected page]], I find a number of links being
shown as broken links, even though the page they linked to exists.
I tried (quasi-zero-)edits on both the page itself and on one of the
linked pages ([[en:Silesia]] - with apologies for editing a protected
page), and neither solved the problem.
Anyone knows what the problem is, and how to solve it? I find this
especially bad, because with the move these problems should have
been solved - instead they seem to have been added.

At this point Wikipedia proper in all languages (that are on the new
software) should be transferred to the new server and running and
editable. Please report any new and exciting bugs!
Meta and the sister projects should follow shortly.

No need to apologize! :) I feel like a kid on Christmass - I can't wait to
edit with the new server config and see what that does to our Alexa ranking.
It should go through the roof!

Remember what I said about induced demand? Alas our growing popularity will
probably put us in the same pickle by June (which should be a couple months
after the our 500,000 article press release boost).

This could take a few hours; sorry for the inconvenience, but things
should improve after this!
* The databases are being moved to the new bigger, faster, dedicated
database server. this should lighten the load on the web servers and
hopefully let us reenable some of the features that have been off for a
while.
* The link tables will be rebuilt. Oddities in 'what links here',
orphans lists, and image use links should be resolved.
* The article count will be recalculated. Some bugs caused drift in the
article count; corrections may move the number up or down.

So, on Wikitravel, we have various "Expeditions", kinda like Wikipedia
projects, for very specific projects within the travel guide. One of
the Expeditions we just started is to identify and list related
projects, and explore ways to cooperate with them:
http://www.wikitravel.org/article/Wikitravel:Fellow_Traveller_Expedition
Obviously, one of the main projects we'd like to cooperate with is
Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. We use the MediaWiki software
that runs Wikipedia, and we've learned about how to do our site from
how Wikipedia works. I think we're all grateful for the software and
the example, and we want to give back whatever we can.
We've got a page going about cooperating with Wikipedia here:
http://www.wikitravel.org/article/Wikitravel:Cooperating_with_Wikipedia
(Thanks to Stephen Gilbert for the original ideas). If you've got some
suggestions, please feel free to add them to that page, or to the talk
page, or respond here, or what have you.
Thanks,
~ESP

Sorry folks, a couple got through. PLEASE do not
respond to "[Textbook-l] Job Kwanta" posts unless you
want you inbox full of SPAM and your email account
rendered useless (set aside the fact that SPAM is part
of a scam!).
This is getting annoying - every day at least a couple
SPAM emails are sent to this list and either Brion or
I have to review and reject each one. My work email is
also exposed on the Internet as a 'mailto:' and yet I
have received only one commercial SPAM email in 2
years (office SPAM is another issue...).
