Add xml:lang to interlanguage pages
by Anders Wegge Jakobsen 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

I have made a small change to the MonoBook skin. The change will add meta information to the <head> element for pages containing interlanguage links. Not knowing what to do with it, I made a bug with severity enhancement in MediaZilla: <http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1433> Two questions: Should I add a variable to regulate the behaviour, like $wgEnableXmlLang? Can changes such as this be accepted into the main tree without similar changes to the other skins? -- /Wegge <http://wiki.wegge.dk> echo mail: !#^."<>"|tr "<> mail:" dk@wegge mailto:awegge@gmail.com - Invitationer på FCFS basis

Re: [Wikitech-l] Rendering math question
by Tom Troceen 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

I searched the list and couldn't find any answers. It's all pretty techincal and I think I might just be overlooking something. I think this is a basic problem. Shouldn't the math just work. For example, my a place whrere I'm using formulas and not showing up it here: http://actuarialnews.relaxinstaugustine.com/wiki/index.php/Interest Should this type of math formating just work as soon as I installed mediawiki, or am i missing a file or something?? -Tom > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Tom Troceen wrote: > | I have just installed my first wiki.

minor patch to mycontributions special page
by Frank v Waveren 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

I've decided to take a stab at hacking mediawiki (hacking at articles is '''so''' passé), and in the interest of starting small, here's a fix for special:Mycontributions, which is otherwise broken on a clean default install. I'm not sure how to find out whether the FullURL already contains a ?, so I'm cheating and using the (much prettier) / syntax instead. I assume that doesn't give any other problems? -- Frank v Waveren Fingerprint: BDD7 D61E fvw(a)[var.cx|stack.nl] ICQ#10074100 5D39 CF05 4BFC F57A Public key: hkp://wwwkeys.pgp.net/468D62C8 FA00 7D51 468D 62C8

Donations links on non-Wikipedia wikis
by Daniel Mayer 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

Could somebody please re-add the donation links to Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikiquote, Wikisource and Commons? I just noticed they are missing and we are going to be having a fund drive in a few weeks - so they do need to be there. -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Bookmarklet for bugzilla
by Zigger 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

I just discovered a useful bookmarklet for finding similar open bugs in bugzilla. While it won't automagically find & close duplicates, it works better than my memory and saves keystrokes. javascript:void(document.location.href='http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&product='+encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById('product').value)+'&content='+encodeURIComponent(document.getElementsByName('short_desc').item(0).value)+'&bug_status=__open__') Credit: http://www.justdave.net/dave/article.php?story=20040905225321748 -- Zigger

Please check and test language files before committing them
by Brion Vibber 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've reverted LanguageNl.php in HEAD back a couple revisions to the last version that didn't contain corrupt Unicode or extra whitespace at the end of the file which, either of which would break proper functioning of the wiki to some degree.

monitoring/management and snmp
by Ashar Voultoiz 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, Looks like we are waiting for the new switch before doing any network redesign. Still we can probably prepare the servers right now. We can start changing ip address of our servers for the future VLANs: 1/ public ips : for squids, (download|noc).wikimedia.org and future bastion hosts. 2/ squid <-> apaches 3/ apaches <-> databases 4/ management Actually we got our servers under 10/8. 192.168/16 is used for network stuff (switch, bgp?). We can use 172.16/20 block for monitoring and management purpose, with the new switch we can assign it high priority in case the site got a trouble. Larousse can probably be the monitoring host as it already hosts cricket servmon and nagios. Cricket currently only graph squids and it can be interesting to get more graphs for memcached usage, apache usage, disk space ... Nagios actually require the nrpe daemon running on every host and rely on custom scripts being run on host to feed data. To get something a bit easier to manager, I think we should install snmp daemon on all servers and make them send snmp traps to Larousse, then we can have snmptrapd log the traps somewhere, send notifications to nagios and feed the irc bots. - -- Ashar Voultoiz - WP++++ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hashar http://www.livejournal.com/community/wikitech/ Servers in trouble ? noc (at) wikimedia (dot) org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFB+aZhpmyHQ2O4INERAt0WAKC9lODj2eC+KvxVJjW/ZnprHi2PsQCgqzXM 7egZLnGBZxIXUaxXvw+OCwA= =Z5LR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Help needed installing chemistry wikitex in mediawiki 1.4beta5
by Alwyn Noronha 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

Hi, Could someone please help me with installing the chemistry module of wikitex in mediawiki 1.4beta5 I have downloaded wikitex-current.tar.gz from wikitex.org I copied the folder wikitex below extensions including tmp and have set the owner of the folder to be the web server (chown -R apache.apache wikitex) Then I added the line: include 'extensions/wikitex/wikitex.php'; to LocalSettings.php Then I copied the code from the chemistry module to my wiki website and tested and it does not display the chemical molecules. I have installed ocaml and compiled texvc in the math folder but if I understand correctly, wikitex is supposed to REPLACE texvc and not extend it to chemistry and other things? Would be much obliged for any help getting the chemistry to work. Regards and Thanks Alwyn
