[Fwd: [Wikide-l] Wikipedia.de down?]
by Zeno Gantner 13 Jul '03

13 Jul '03

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 -----Weitergeleitete Nachricht----- From: Daniel Herding <DHerding(a)gmx.de> To: wikide-l(a)wikipedia.org Subject: [Wikide-l] Wikipedia.de down? Date: 13 Jul 2003 12:52:46 +0100 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 Daniel _______________________________________________ Wikide-l mailing list Wikide-l(a)wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikide-l

Update Special pages using Cron Job?
by Timwi 12 Jul '03

12 Jul '03

The following pages currently hold saved versions that are rather old: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Lonelypages (May 03) http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Longpages (May 03) http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Shortpages (May 03) http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Wantedpages (Jun 03) Would it be feasible to set up a cron job that updates them automatically during off-peak hours (say once every 24 hours)? Greetings, Timwi

Development tasks
by Brion Vibber 12 Jul '03

12 Jul '03

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: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_tasks -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Committed stuff
by Timwi 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

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 :-) Timwi

New development policy
by erik_moeller＠gmx.de 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

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

Category feature commited
by Magnus Manske 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

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 Magnus

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 JT _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Problem with PHP
by Timwi 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

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

[hardy@math.mit.edu: an oddity]
by Jimmy Wales 11 Jul '03

Interesting! ----- Forwarded message from Michael Hardy <hardy(a)math.mit.edu> ----- From: Michael Hardy <hardy(a)math.mit.edu> Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2003 21:51:00 -0400 (EDT) To: jwales(a)bomis.com Subject: an oddity 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 -- Michael Hardy hardy(a)math.mit.edu ----- End forwarded message -----
