fy language file
by Andre Engels 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

I have changed the name of the category namespace in the Frisian language file; could it be made live? What else do I need to do? Also, there is a wish to change the User: namespace from 'Brûker' to 'Meidogger'. However, for this they want the old name to remain as an alternative (like the English names are currently alternatives on all wikis). How would that be done? Andre Engels

LocalSettings.php file not being created. Connection failed.

Installing Wiki on a Stick, so following the document http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_on_a_stick Installed 1.4beta6 instead of 1.3.10 because of empty page being displayed(bug #736 in v1.3.x) instead of a 1.3 install success page and localSettings.php file not being written. Got an error when I hit the Install! button for v1.4beta6 which I copied below: MediaWiki 1.4beta6 installation Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems. Checking environment... * PHP 5.0.0: ok * PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * PHP is configured with no memory_limit. * Have zlib support; enabling output compression. * Turck MMCache not installed, can't use object caching functions * Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. * Installation directory: W:\www\wi * Script URI path: /wi * Warning: $wgProxyKey is insecure * MySQL error 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) Something's not quite right yet; make sure everything below is filled out correctly. Then next to the MySQL server text box, into which I entered localhost, a red message with Connection failed. So any ideas? Attached the two log files from Apache folder again, still don't have any log/error files in \mysql\data\. Are they turned on be default? and how can I check this? Any ideas? You help is much appreciated.

java based format parser
by Stefan Groschupf 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

Hi there, may someone know if there is a java based parser for the wikimedia formating language. I would love to transform an article into html and transfer for example [image:xxx] to <img src... etc. I found the lucene project in the cvs but this only cleanup the strings. Or may someone can give me a hint where I can found a full documentation of the allowed annontations since the help pages wasn' available or at least wasn't complete. Thanks for any hints. Stefan

And it's likewise hard putting an entire 120-min conference session into 20 megs. I second this request (40 megs would also allow the inclusion of .oggs I have from last month's Web Credibility conference). -- +sj+

Copying Mediawiki or creating language files
by Andre Engels 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

On the Dutch Wikipedia I currently have a question from another site using Mediawiki software. They would like to work in Dutch, but languageNl.php is only partly translated. They could copy everything into the MediaWiki namespace, but that is an awful lot of work. Because of that, my question: * Is there a simpler way to copy the MediaWiki namespace between projects, or is it being worked on? * Is there a simpler way to update language files, or is it being worked on? Of course this would be useful for Wikimedia too - the first could be used for translations between various projects, the second for people who use a different language interface. Andre Engels

[[ Image + Wikilink ]] - how to link both an image and a text to the wiki text page ?
by Thomas Gries 12 Feb '05

12 Feb '05

A small image and a text .... HOW-TO link both to the text page and not to the small image page ? I want to write in wikisyntax something equivalent to * <a href=wiki/foo1><img src=foo2.png border=0>foo1text</a> so that a small image and a text are both linked to the text page and not to the small image page. When I write * [[Image:foo2.png]] [[foo1|foo1text]] it does not work, because I got two different links, one to the image wiki page, one to foo1. More logical would be * [[ foo1 | [[Image:foo2.png]] foo1text ]] the image link seen as part of the alternate text for the page foo1, which is the target, but this doesn't work either. Please can anyone assist ? Tom

Commons transfer script
by Magnus Manske 12 Feb '05

What follows is the script asked for on [1]. Well, mostly. As this is my very first Python script that actually performs a useful function, I couldn't get it to work as a logged-in user. Maybe someone else has better luck. I'm too tired now.
