Someone must have made a change that disabled EasyTimeline on all
Wikipedias.
The script is not invoked at all, quick test: it would respond to faulty
input like
<timeline>bla bla</timeline> with an error box.
EasyTimeline.pl is at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/extensions/timeline/
Thanks, Erik Zachte
I have put some preliminary code for article validation into CVS HEAD.
You'll need to add the table "validate" (tables.sql) to the DB. Then,
(for "Main Page", as example) go to
index.php?title=Special:Validate&article=Main_Page
Every logged-in user can "vote"
* for every article
* in multiple versions
* in multiple categories
* in a variable range (so far, 1-5 points per category)
This offers maximum flexibility, but can be "dumbed down" to a single
yes/no decision. No database entry equals the "no opinion" choice.
I hard-coded the available choices into SpecialValidate.php, but that
can be moved to the language files,
So far, *no* way of extracting that information exists. Some statistic
output is likely to be my next attempt.
The special page is also *not* linked from the articles yet. I'd prefer
a "tab" like edit, history and the like instead of the special page, but
I didn't look into the coding just yet.
That's it for today :-)

Could someone please look at http://wikisource.org/wiki/Shitstorm . I
don't have the technical expertise to evaluate what User:Goat-see (a
suspicious name?) has done, but it looks like a program for sending out
some kind of vandalism or virus on a large scale. If so, we need to
consider what to do with this kind of thing, but first I would like a
more informed opinion of just what that piece of source code does.

This is just one of many, but MediaWiki:Historywarning and
MediaWiki:History need to be merged, they each contain:
MediaWiki:Historywarning = Warning: The page you are about to delete
has a history:
MediaWiki:History = Page history
And when this is put together in the rendered page it looks like this:
"Warning: The page you are about to delete has a history: Page history"
Since it is already split for me i have no option to put "Page
history" in the middle, or first, it has to be in the center, this
just doesn't work in all languages without making the sentences sound
very awkward.
Another message which is split like this is MediaWiki:Previewnote and
MediaWiki:Note
I found about ten occurences of duplicate article titles in the nl: cur db
while processing dump.
Two consecutive entries with exactly the same title field, both namespace 0.
See three examples (article text omitted, was entirely different between the
two versions).
Is there an explanation for this?

Hi,
By default, the atoms feed produced by wikipedia is not valid:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmeta.wikimedia.org%2Fw%…
There are 3 errors.
The first one, "missing of namespace", is easy to fixed.
'xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#"' must be add to the "feed"
element printed by outHeader method of the AtomFeed class (line
153 of the 1.3beta5 version of wikipedia).
The second one, "Undefined entry element: comment" seems to be a
bug of the validator: Comments are not elements.
The last one is more complexe. In an atom feed, each entry must
have an id. This id must identify the entry:
http://www.mnot.net/drafts/draft-nottingham-atom-format-02.html#rfc.section…
Has someone a suggestion about how-to produce a good Id element?

Hello !
I was thinking that adding in the search window (Special:search) the
possibility of searching among the broken links
I looked in the code and seems not to be so difficult (??)
We have to add a conditonnal part of the SQL code which do a
{ UNION select bl_to in brokenlinks where .... }
and to add a checkbox to activate this functionnality or not
What do you think of that ?

Ok, so Jamesday proposes that we use any open or common file format. Should
I
write this into the Wikipedia:Sound policy, or is this debate going to go on
forever?
(I'd prefer it be settled before I write the policy). Jimbo - is James's
idea OK by you?
