Re: Bugzilla?
by Axel Boldt 07 Mar '02

07 Mar '02

I don't know Bugzilla, so I have no opinion about adopting it, but I just wanted to point out that our sourceforge account at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipedia appears to come with a fairly sophisticated bug tracking system; maybe we should start importing bugs from the wiki page. (I also think that we shouldn't force Wikipedians to use a different interface to report bugs, quickly editing a Bug_Reports page seems to be the most natural for them). Axel

Hide minor edits in recent changes
by Lars Aronsson 07 Mar '02

07 Mar '02

If I set my preferences to hide minor edits in the recent changes listing, then I want to see the most recent major edit for that page. That is how UseModWiki worked. It seems the new software doesn't list the page at all if the most recent change was a minor edit. Example: 1) I set my prefs to hide minor edits. 2) I make a major edit on a page. 3) I view recent changes. The page is listed. 4) I make a minor edit on the same page. 5) I view recent changes. Now the page isn't listed at all! -- Lars Aronsson <lars(a)aronsson.se> tel +46-70-7891609 http://aronsson.se/ http://elektrosmog.nu/ http://susning.nu/

Hi Leonardo, I believe the plan is to eventually migrate all wikipedias over to the PHP script. So your perspective and help from your side is very much welcome. You can read about the features of the new script at http://wikipedia.com/wiki/wikipedia:PHP_script and you can browse the current code at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/wikipedia/phpwiki/fpw/ To download the code, it's best to use anonymous CVS, explained on the PHP_script page mentioned above. Have fun, Axel

RE: [Wikitech-l] Bugzilla?
by Mark Christensen 06 Mar '02

One issue to consider how easy it will be for end users to report a bug. Bugzilla is far better than the wiki interface for tracking bugs, but wikipedians will already know how to use the wiki, and form that perspective Bugzilla will be more complex to use. Clearly bugzilla is not --that-- complex, so this is not a serious problem, but I think it is still worth mentioning. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jimmy Wales [mailto:jwales@bomis.com] > Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 11:12 AM > To: wikitech-l(a)nupedia.com > Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Bugzilla? > > > Sure, I'd consider it.

Bugzilla?
by kband＠www.llamacom.com 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Jimbo: Would you consider installing bugzilla (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla/) on wikipedia to help us manage bugs/feature requests? The Wiki interface is pretty wretched for bug management. I'd certainly be happiest if everything was integrated (so that you wouldn't have to separately log into bugzilla...hm, maybe that could be done...that would be neat, if when you first create an account at Wikipedia, you could choose to join the wikipedia-l and/or wikitech-l lists...) but that certainly doesn't need to be a high priority. The installation looks pretty simple, especially since you already have perl and mysql all running. It would be of great help. If you do so, I promise to file the bugs on the current bug reports page. -tc

User's contributions minor edits bug
by kband＠www.llamacom.com 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

Contributions aren't listed if the most recent edit (not the only edit) made by the user is a minor edit. It would be great if this bug could be solved by having a configurable Contributions page, choosing to list minor edits, pages created, and/or pages edited. But that's a feature request, not bugfix. So why does SELECT old_title FROM old WHERE old_user_text=\"$theuser\" AND old_minor_edit<>\ 1 exclude *all* entries which have a minor edit? Maybe it needs to be SELECT DISTINCT old_title FROM old WHERE .... or perhaps SELECT old_title FROM old WHERE old_user_text="$theuser" GROUP BY old_title HAVING old_minor_edit<>1

SQL dump
by Magnus Manske 02 Mar '02

02 Mar '02

I just commited a "special_sqldump.php" file with a function that creates a SQL dump as a zipped file in the upload directory each time it is called. Runs about 21 sec on my system. I didn't link it from anywhere else yet, so you'll have to access the page through "...../wiki/special:sqldump". After it finished, you'll get a direct link to the file and a file size in KB. Please have a look. Magnus

Pages that link here...
by Lars Aronsson 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

I just noticed that the "pages that link here" on http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Belarus/History does not list http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Belarus which I think it should. Shouldn't it? I think this is how it used to work a few weeks ago. -- Lars Aronsson <lars(a)aronsson.se> tel +46-70-7891609 http://aronsson.se/ http://elektrosmog.nu/ http://susning.nu/

IP numbers on History pages?
by Axel Boldt 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Currently, we display full IP numbers on history pages. Is that a bug or a feature? Looking at the code in special_recentchangeslayout.php, l. 91-100, it appears that the full IP (including last 3 digits) was put in deliberately (or else I can't see the point of that code). Axel
