Hello
I´m contacting you from Georgia (Europe), i´m presenting myself as
member of Georgian Internet Alliance. We have some plans around one
project about Open Source Software, Community Portal, support and open
documentation & etc. Maybe we can help wikipedia/wikimedia to make
it´s mirror on our future server in Georgia to help local visitors
view wikipedia much faster, effective. We need to know, how is
possible to make only ka.wikipedia.org-s mirror for first step and
then whole your database.
We are officialy working under translation of KDE, mozilla, opera, &
other free software. Currently we are now little busy to work under
translations, while we are organizing several projects and portals but
i think it will be done with mediawiki translation in a week. Main
programming-specific part is already done, but i have not uploaded it
on sourceforge yet.
Also we want to help wikipedia editors to communicate - we will create
special section and we also plan to add mediawiki engine for local
tests, to help users.
Sorry for my broken english.
Please contact us (me or Mr. Gia Shervashidze) in the forum on
http://www.gia.ge , at right top corner u may switch language an then
goto forum´s section (it may be under construction/beta-test stage).
or within online chat:

I've just read the article here:
http://www.nature.com/news/2005/051212/full/438900a.html
Will you be publishing more detail on the results? There is a horde
of researchers interested in these findings.

This looks like a really great start, and a much-needed new feature,
so thank you. Here are my thoughts on the key things that need work to
get this operational (hm, this should probably be on wikitech-l,
shouldn't it... re-addressing):
* A proper replacement for manual in-page templates saying "this
article has been listed for..." - as mentionned before, things like
"wikify" don't need much prominence (though arguably more than the
current sidebar link gives), but things like deletion most certainly
do. A configurable banner for each task still seems the best way to
me, with perhaps a built-in priority for different tasks (so that, for
instance, only one banner is ever shown, but with an extra "+ 3 other
outstanding tasks" if necessary)
* Actual replacements for AfD, etc - i.e. more viewing options for
Special:Tasks, including ones which transclude all the relevant Task:*
pages. These should probably be linked to from the little task status
tables, as well.
* The "task discussion pages" need a better naming scheme, involving
both the pagename and the task in question. e.g. "Task:Main
Page/Delete". [I now realise that the current system is actually
broken, with the "task box" relying only on the task's ID number, so
that http://www.magnusmanske.de/wikipeerdia/index.php/Task:Delete_%281%29
and http://www.magnusmanske.de/wikipeerdia/index.php/Task:Wikify_%281%29
show the same metadata, but different content.]
* Obviously, presentational details can be fiddled with relatively
easily, but I thought I'd mention that on the Task: pages themselves,
the "This task is for..." message seems a bit hidden, and the "initial
comment" might need to be more prominent to look like the start of the
conversation that will take place below it.
Like I say, great start, and these are just a few thoughts, most of
which you'd probably already thought about, but not had time to do
yet. Y'never know, I might find time to help out (though presumably
this isn't in CVS yet, since we don't really have an 'unstable' branch
there atm, HEAD being the version live on Wikimedia).

Hi,
I lately built a calendar extension for mediawiki 1.5+. The sql request
was easy to create, thanks to the re-architecting of the database.
Nevertheless, as nobody could yet help me transpose the captcha system
for 1.5, I still have to stay with my oldish version of mediawiki 1.3 :
I hear Rob Church gasping again:-) So, in contradiction to evolution, I
now need to adapt the easy version of the calendar for mediawiki 1.3
Here is the question:
I ask for all the pages title having a link to a page whose title has an
[[Dec/%/2005]] pattern.
The first difficulties is that if the page [[Dec/%/2005]] exists, it is
in the LINKS table, and if it is not created it is in the BROKENLINKS
The BROKENLINKS situation seems easy to deal with:
SELECT *
FROM cur, brokenlinks, categorylinks
WHERE (
bl_to LIKE 'Dec/%/2005' AND cur_id = bl_from AND cl_to='Blog' AND
cl_from=cur_id
)
The LINKS situation presents a difficulty surely overcomed by the use of
aliases: I need to ask the title of a page in cur_title and at the same
time the title of another page (the [[Dec/%/2005]]) in cur_title
Has anyone here any cognition of an sql / mysql syntax for this?
Or better, any adaptation of the captcha system for mediawiki 1.5 :-)
Thanks for any help

Can somebody please tell me the rational behind the decision, that

I would like someone else to confirm this: there seems to be a bug with the
list of transcluded templates which appears at the bottom of the edit view.
If you create a template which uses <includeonly> and inside that tag you
transclude another template, that second template does not appear on the
list of templates. It does however seem to appear OK on the list for client
pages, i.e. those which transclude the "outer" template.
HTH HAND
