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).

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!

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
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.

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.

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
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.

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).
