Subpages broken
by erik_moeller＠gmx.de 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

I haven't had time to look at the code yet, but one of the recent upgrades broke subpage support (used on Wikipedia for user and talk pages). Check out http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eloquence/Boilerplate_texts for an example. The backlink title is shown, but the actual link is not. Regards, Erik

Connectivity to wikipedia.org
by Arwel Parry 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Is it just me that's having difficulty connecting to wikipedia? For the last few days I've been getting 80% packet loss which makes it incredibly frustrating to try to edit large articles! Traceroute seems to indicate messages are running into the sand in the San Diego area... This traceroute is from 0115 UTC, 2 Dec 03: Traceroute to: en.wikipedia.org IP address: [130.94.122.199] 1: [194.159.180.36] war1-du-36.access.demon.net ( 140 ms) ! ( 141 ms) !

My application (Re: Need Developers)
by Fantasy 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Hi all, Following Tim's request for people to speak up, if they would like to contribute to MediaWiki, here it is: I would liket to ask for developer-status and offer some of my Wikipedia-time to write MediaWiki-PHP scripts. To give you an idea about what you can expect from me: - I worked 4 years in the database field. - No experience with PHP, but my first look at the PHP-scipts gave me the feeling that I will be able to understand how Wikipedia works and how I can contribute, and I got Wikipedia up and running at home already ;-) - I would not like to give up all my Wikipedia-Time to development, I see my involvement more as a long-time contribution, something like 50% - I contribute to Wikipedia nearly a year and I am admin in en/de/it. The fields I would prefer to help: - http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiImages.org - DE/IT Server issues - One central user-registration for all wikipedias (I don't know the current status of this Idea) - ...whereever I can give Brion and other Developers a hand on simple tasks that just take time away from them and help me learn MediaWiki. I look forward to your replies, Fantasy :-)

XML export and questions
by jakob.voss＠s1999.tu-chemnitz.de 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Hi, I'm working on a XML representation of Wikipedia articles [[meta:Wikipedia DTD]] - the XML export function [[XML import and export]] is a step forward to this but I do not understand what the element "restrictions" may contain: So what is the purpose of table 'cur_restrictions'? Are there any other restrictions but 'sysop' or why it is not just a boolean value? Some bugs and wishes for the next update of SpecialExport.php: - add an XML header ("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>") - replace the attribute 'xml:ns' with something like 'interwiki' or 'language'. Please avoid attributes starting with 'xml:'. 'xml:lang' is not the best choice neither since there are MediaWikis like wiktionary and meta that does corespondent to languages. - include 'cur_counter' BTW: What about the new namespaces 8 => "MediaWiki", 9 => "MediaWiki_talk" ?? Thank's Jakob Voss P.S: The statistics page is one posibility to include a reference to the developers more publically - like the "most active wikipedians". Perhaps there is a way to get some CVS stats out of sourceforge into the wikipedia growth overview.
