Extensions and unwanted extra transforms
by Tels 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Moin, I have written a small extension and it is very closely modelled to the sample extension. Basically, it uses $wgParser->setHook() and then returns the text that should be included in the output as HTML. However, for some reasons, the output of my extension is not put straight into the output page. The parser (or whoever :) looks at it, and then checks/transforms it. This creates, IMHO, unec. overhead. For instance I have to remove leading spaces inside style-tages, or otherwise the output becomes garbled. Likewiese, things like <br> are transformed into <br /> (this is harmless, but unec.). How do I stop whatever get's my extension's output and "mangles" it? I want the text from my extension be included verbatim into the page (basically because I trust my extension to return valid HTML - if it doesn't, the extra check/transform from Wikimedia will not help, anyway) Another small question: How would one go and benchmark an extension including the overhead from the wiki? Editing pages via script and measure how long it takes for each submit? Has anybody done this before? Thanx, Tels PS: Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask - I am not very familiar with the /.*wiki.*/ background :) - -- Signed on Fri Mar 11 11:26:03 2005 with key 0x93B84C15.

Re: [Bug 710] Redirect to category page doesn't work

Patch for a custom feature : "hide my changes"
by Jonathan ILIAS 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Hi, I use mediawiki internally for more and more projects... It's really a great tool, but you allready know that ;-) Sometimes, i do some small hacks like this one. I wanted to hide my own changes in "recent changes" special page. Maybe this patch would interest someone... Or maybe this feature already exists... In these two cases, there is no more work for me ;-) Before using it, it should be useful to add "$5 my own changes" in MediaWiki:Showhideminor page.

Status 200 on some error messages
by Troels Arvin 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Hello, I just got a page like this: http://troels.arvin.dk/misc/wikipedia/200error/ copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_Java_to_C_Plus_Plus… The HTTP response status code for that page was 200 (OK), according to my LiveHTTPHeaders Firefox-extension. I suggest that such error pages be delivered with a 500 (internal error) response code. The problem with delivering error-pages using status 200, is that it may be cached by proxies and picked up by search engine bots. -- Greetings from Troels Arvin, Copenhagen, Denmark

Google Search box - thanks Angela and Brion
by Alison Russell 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Thanks Angela and Brion for the code. I have it working fine, but the frame extends right across the page, as opposed to being the same width as the navigation, search and toolbox frames. I added the code to monobook.php as brion suggested, do I need to add it to the quickbar section of code? and where do i find that? I am using MediaWiki 1.4. Thanks again, Alison.

Sockpuppet / Reincarnation?
by Richard Holton 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

On en.wikipedia, [[user:The Recycling Troll]] has recently been banned (indefinitely blocked). The reason provided is that he is a reincarnation of 142. However, the evidence so far presented is subjective, and a sort of 'debate' has arisen, the user being blocked and unblocked a few times. It seems to me that a developer could at least establish if this user is 142 or not. If it turns out to be 142, it would almost certainly end the matter. If not, then the debate could focus on the remaining issue(s). So, could a developer please look into this? Thanks. -- Rich Holton en.wikipedia:User:Rholton
