dear wikitech,
I'm really really sorry for bothering and giving you guys with a lot of
trouble. I've been away because of end of ramadan and eid celebration.
About the virama diacritics (attached), actually, it's kind of 'new',
because it's introduced in 1985 by the 'Balai Penelitian Bahasa Ujung
Pandang' (Ujung Pandang Committee of Language), thus will never be found in
old text like i la galigo. Therefore, ominoglot and other lontara sources
didn't mention this diacritic because they are referring to the oled texts.
Here's the scan of the page from Buginese Grammar written in Indonesia. You
will notice this at page five. The title of this book is 'Tatabahasa Bugis'
published by 'Departemen Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan', Indonesia (Department
of Education and Culture of Indonesia) in 1991. I think, you can find this
book at main library or university's library. I hope wikitech creates this
diacrtic and informs me about how to make the input.
Secondly, I notice that the diacritic /e/, when written, got mix up with
the other consonant. Take a look at this page:
<http://bug.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E1%A8%84%E1%A8%82%E1%A8%89%E1%A8%9…>
When I typed in the word 'pangadereng', the vowel /e/ got mix up with the
other consonants. Thus, make it harder to read.
Thirdly, I got some replies telling me that the consonant is too small to
read. Can wikitechs make it a little bigger like Malayalam language.
Thank you.

Hi,
I have created a new namespace for references in our local wiki. I have added
it to the DefaultSeetings.php file as mentioned in help. I wanted to know if i
need to add an entry in the languages.php file also, in the nstab section of
language.php also?. The references in this wiki work i a similar fashion as
images with each reference having its own talk page like any other article.
Do i need to make any other changes anywhere within the code for this
namespace to work?
Thanks,
Amruta

There is, really: neither is a voting matter. I raised this before,
but you appear to regard the objection as (to quote you) "no real
opposition". Not to mention Tim's quote when voting for checkuser was
floated: "Users would vote themselves root if they could."
What I said was that users need:
- the technical knowledge to know what they're seeing (which a network
admin was one example of);
- the trustworthiness that they won't break the privacy policy

Please don't misrepresent my words. I said that was not what I thought
and I meant that was not what I thought. You therefore have no
justification to say that that's what I said or meant. I ask you to
retract it.

As you FULLY KNOW BECAUSE I CC'D YOU ON THE EMAIL IN QUESTION, I am
fine with all of those.
Why are you pretending I am saying things I didn't or not saying things I did?
>But I would like to know why you have not made any comments this week

After you complained on arbcom-l of people not commenting, I went and
checked that I had in fact commented ... and had already pointed out
the ridiculousness of voting on the matter.
As Chris Jenkinson said:
>Surely the enforcement of the Foundation's privacy policy is the
>responsibility of the Foundation, and thus access to personal
>information (such as IP addresses) should be given out upon approval by

Indeed. Anthere, I originally understood this was your position.
- d.
Is it just me who keep getting some sort of strange error on searches on
:en:?
The symptoms so far include showing the Google/Yahoo boxes and an odd error
message indicating some sort of bad return from an IP in the [10.*.*.*]
range. My IP knowledge is rusty: is that a private range?
Sorry I can't be more precise: the error sometimes goes away when I try
again, and did this time :-(

Hi ,
Does anyone has any idea as to how to add a new tab to the existing
tabs (article,discussion,edit and history) to the wikipedia page.I have
the mediawiki installed and the database dump imported. Now i wana tweak
and make additions to wikipedia. I have very little idea of php but am
ready to learn the advance concepts as the need may arise.

Hi all,
I have a question regarding editing a specific language
database to aid in translating it to another language.
I have set up a test wiki on a Linux/Linspire 4.5 notebook
and have the software running quite nicely.
My wish is to upload a backup of one of the language
wikis and see how I can tweak a translation out of the
file, something that will go through the database and
basically do a search and replace using a vocabulary
list.
Is there a better way of doing this?
With regards,

Are there any tricks to speeding up Mediawiki? I have many other pages on my
site that talk to the MySQL database that open in <1s but the Mediawiki ones
tend to take longer c.2-5s, and I don't have an enormous amount of load on
the server.
It is a wiki installation that isn't editable by the public and doesn't use
a skin as such (I just allow all the HTML I want to allow by editing the
parser and another file), so I was wondering if there were any tricks to
bypass things and make the pages load quicker. It's probably worth noting
that I don't use the cache facility and that I have an extension that
displays only if someone is logged in (this is the reason for chche not
being used).
I think Mediawiki is great, just looking to find out if I can make it run
faster. Sincere thanks to all responsible for the hard work that's gone into
the script.

Hi,
I am using MediaWiki 1.5.1 with PHP 4.1.2 and I often get the
following warning when accessing my wiki pages:
Warning: mt_rand(): Invalid range: 0..0 in
/path/to/mediawiki/includes/LoadBalancer.php on line 584
Do you know that warning and can you tell me how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
