I seem to have some sort of spam attack that is adding the following
tag to multiple pages.
Anyone know what it might do?

Is there a quick way to undo or rollback all edits made by one user -
or do I need to undo each page one by one?

Dear wikitech's,
I'm not sure about the next procedures and I'm not sure whether I'm doing
the right thing. I ask some people at IRC wikimedia and they said that I
should email wikitech.
My proposal of buginese language receives consensus from the wikis and me
and my friends (wikimedia username:Riyanz) agreed to join and work on this
buginese wikipedia (both of us are native to the buginese.) This proposal
also receives enough support from other wikis. Therefore, I am asking
wikitech's help to set up a new wikipedia in buginese.
The wikipedia of buginese as discussed will be using lontara (buginese
script) and roman alphabet.
Below is the link to the proposal template
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Requests_for_new_languages/Buginese>
And should I remove my proposal to the approved language site?
Thank you
Muhammad Zaid Zainuddin
p/s: If this is not the right procedure, can wikitech explain to me what
should I do now, whom the request should be forward to etc.
Hello,
I broke the search page ( LuceneSearch.php ) for roughly 20 minutes
tonight. Everything is fine now thanks to zwitter.
Details: we got a context hack on live site. Of course the cvs version
doesn't know about that hack and was indeed incorrect.
When I grabbed the lastest cvs version and synced it, the search page
got disabled (php error showing). Zwitter added yet another hack and i
finally merged my changes :)
cheers,

I am not in position to give any indication if is good or not to give
bureaucrat the ability of giving bot states, but if this is not done a
way to reduce the stewards job is to request that the bit request is
previously disscussed and approved locally (by the buroctrater, by a
group of admins or by the comunity). The request to the steward should
be have a link to the local discussion. (I perfectly know that if such
a rule were in action you would still recive a lot of request without
that, but this could be solved ... ahmmm ... just ignoring them as not
conforming to the rules).
In such a way local comunity (or the burocrates) would be able to
express thei opinion on the bot (conforming to local policy). The
stweards would be the only people tecnically able to change the bot
status flags on the database and he/she could still do any required
checks, but in this way these checks should be easier.
I am conscious that there will be the problem to decide if an apeal
would be possible in case of refuse from the local comunity, but this
is a thing that can be discussed.

This can reduce the job level, but even in this case I consider that
my above suggestion could be still useful.

Actually I do not understood why if an user is so trusted that
rollback right could be given why admin staus should not be given to
them.

Hello
I am looking for a simple, no online, converter either
- latex2wiki
- html2wiki
I have seen some converters for producing math formulas, music etc.
For me a simple html2wiki converter would be fine.
Thanks
