Hello,
today, most of the non-English Wikipedias do not respond at all.
I tried German, Spanish, Esperanto, Danish and Polish.
The Wikipedias with old software versions, like Welsh or Catalan,
do work well.
Does anyone know the source of this problem, and how long it will
remain?
Best regards,
Zeno

Hallo,
Ist die deutsche Wikipedia down? Auf die französische komm ich auch
nicht mehr drauf, auf die französische und esperanto auch nicht. Die
englische klappt aber noch.
MfG

I added the translations for the last changes done in Language.php. Just to
be ready if someone starts them.

We've really got to work on stabilizing the latest fun fun changes...
and we can start to look at the boring stuff that needs to get done.
Stuff that's maybe not a sexy new Table of Contents or Auto-Generated
Maps or Cool New Language Support or Skin That Doesn't Scare People
Away, but that really needs to get done to keep the wiki running.
Optimization, fixes for race conditions, minor but continuous usability
problems. The stuff no one wants to touch. :)
If something strikes your fancy, please oh please claim one of these for
your own:

Speaking of committed stuff, now that I have finally managed to gain CVS
access, I have committed the following changes (if someone could put
them on the test server, that would be great):
- OutputPage.php: The apostrophe-stuff. See
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe_Test_page
- SearchEngine.php: "Go" button redirects to the article if one found
(rather than displaying it under the "search" URL).
Please everyone test :-)

I have formulated a policy for Wikipedia development here:
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_policy
In short:
* We now have a "stable" branch. All Wikipedias should henceforth be
updated from that branch. It is currently identical to the main (unstable)
branch, but I'll take some untested features out in the next days.
* NO MORE MANUAL OVERWRITING OF FILES ON TEST.WIKI. Sorry for shouting,
but this really has to stop. If our Test-Wiki is supposed to be useful, it
has to be in a consistent state. That means it should only be updated from
CVS unstable.
* A basic testing procedure. Features will have to run on test.wiki for
3-10 days before they are committed to stable.
With this policy in place, it should become much more feasible to keep all
the Wikipedias up to date. We still need someone to finish the conversion
script, though -- Italian is still on UseMod, for example, they really
should be switched over.
Regards,
Erik
As there were no real problems with my implementation of the Erik-style category feature at the test site (only a few improvement suggestions, IIRC), I commited the changes in Language.php, Skin.php, OutputPage.php, and the new SpecialCategories.php to the CVS.
It will not engage unless
$wgUseCategoryMagic = true ;
is set in LocalSettings.php

I went into my email and found that I had received 144 wiki emails. After
collapsing from a suspected heart failure, I discovered that many were from
the wikitech list. Which raises three interesting questions:
1. What am suddenly doing on the wikitech list?
2. What is the wikitech list?
3. How do I get off the said wikitech list?
Oh and a fourth question thrown in in honour of my 144 wiki emails - what
the wikitech are Timwi and Brion talking about in the above email??? :-)
OK, maybe I don't want to know, given that I am the sort of person who if I
change a lightbulb blows every fuse in North county Dublin on a good day (on
a bad day the lights flicker all the way to Boston!)
In other words, LEMME OUTTA HERE!!!! :-O

Hi,
my test server is currently working, but for some reason, I no longer
have the command-line command php. How come? I used to have (I have run
the install script, after all).
When I try to make php, I get:
gcc: sapi/cli/php_cli.o: No such file or directory
gcc: sapi/cli/getopt.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1
Thanks for any help,
Timwi
Interesting!

OK, type "[[real]]ism" in a Wikipedia article and you
see the whole word "realism" made clickable, underlined,
and colored blue, and when you click on it you go to the
article titled "real". But type "real[[ism]]" and then,
although the whole word "realism" is colored blue and you
go to "ism" if you click on it, only "ism" is underlined!
(See if you can find "o[[ecumenical]]". I thought this
was a cute way to be efficient when an old-fashioned
spelling was used in the text.) -- Mike
