Not that I don't truse SUSE, but at
http://bsd.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=92486&cid=7951598
someone's very pleased with FreeBSD 5.0:
"Our site gets a million hits a day on a completely db-driven
website. Both the Apache webserver and the two replicated MySQL servers
on the backend are all running FreeBSD 5, and have been for months now."
Does this configuration sound vaguely familiar? An alternative to
consider in case SUSE proves unstable.

Sorry to spam the list, but I tried to submit a bugreport to
Sourceforge--only to get a message that SF was undergoing
maintenance :-/
Can someone please take a look at the Finnish Wikipedia?
The recent changes ("Tuoreimmat muutokset") is totally broken!
No changes are being displayed.
All the messages from the MediaWiki: namespace have been
replaced (at least in my browser) with question marks.
Maybe the original text is in arabic or japanese or something
(except those two at least display quite nicely on my browser).
Anyway, can someone please look into this ASAP?

I noticed that the stats on download.wikipedia.org are still from December
6, 2003. Is it possible now to get a stat run, or it's impossible until a
decent server setup is in place?

The only way to track edits is through 'Related changes'. I'm keeping an eye
on everything linked from the [[Main Page]] and [[Current events]].
If a vandal stumbles on en2 we will have no way to really see the vandalism
unless we happen to stumble upon a vandalized article.
If RC is not going to be up anytime soon, then could somebody lock the
database?

I've added a phpBB style edit toolbar (JavaScript-based) to the edit
screen. It can be disabled in the user prefs. There's plenty of new text
in Language.php to translate (tooltips, mostly).
The toolbar should work in all JavaScript browsers, but with different
results:
1) Mozilla and IE: Select text and click a button to apply that tool (e.g.
select text and click "bold" icon to make it bold). If you do not select
text and click the button, you get an example text (e.g. '''Bold text''').
2) All(?) others: Select and apply is not supported - you only get the
example text. Still useful as a learning tool.
In my version of Mozilla, select+apply works well unless the text is more
than a screenful. In that case, the cursor jumps to the top again. Not so
in IE. Not sure if this is a browser or JS bug. The JS is copied mostly
from phpBB.
Committed to CVS unstable, please report any bugs you find.
Regards,
Erik

The policy on how to deal with this is already there - only simple vandals are
to be blocked. I've already wasted a dozen or so hours trying to keep a step
ahead of logged-in vandals. I don't wish that on anybody.

OK - that's good too. I was mainly thinking of the great deal of work that has
to be done to set it up in the first place and later add more servers. But if
you have local help, then it should be fine.

Every time I try it says "No user exists by that name". Interesting message
considering this 'non-user' has an edit history on Meta (most of his edits
have been to articles that are now deleted, however):
http://meta.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=M…
Also whenever I ban an IP on Meta the ban seems to auto-expire after a very
short time and does not seem to leave any mention of the un-banning in any
log I could find.
