Finally, new wikistats.
It took a couple of weekends to get the scripts up to date for the new
database format.
You may have to refresh the page in your browser to see new stats (Ctrl-F5)
Stats are generated from newest dump (March 9)
The layout has been improved in some places (newest stats on top, language
names in comparison tables).
New features:
Records counts per namespace:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wikistats/EN/TablesWikipediaEN.htm#namespaces
Percentage categorised articles (same url as above)
Hierarchical category trees per Wikipedia (some are huge!):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wikistats/EN/CategoryOverviewIndex.htm
Not entirely new but not yet advertised here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wikistats/EN/TimeLinesIndex.htm
EasyTimeline charts are collected per Wikipedia and listed together with the
script code. This may serve as a source of inspiration and help to learn the
syntax. Also this can help to find real gems on other Wikipedias that
deserve to be translated. Although starting a timeline from scratch is not
completely trivial, expanding, correcting or certainly translating an
existing chart is really where the plug-in earns its name.
Tech notes on script update:
Decipering the serialized compressed info was not a major hurdle, although
the Perl equivalent (http://hurring.com/code/perl/serialize/ )was unusable,
way too slow (goes through a state machine for each character), so I had to
cook something myself.
Keeping everything within reasonable memory boundaries was more difficult,
wherever possible data are written to disk in several bins (e.g. one
intermediate file per month history), sorted per bin, then merged before
readback.

Fixed.
(You might or might not have to reload the portal page to make sure it
has the updated form.)

I've checked in two minor changes to the upload form to the live code
(after they've been tested in HEAD):
1) The upload description is now multiline. It has always accepted long
input, it was just very cumbersome to enter. This is not meant to be a
substitute for a proper redesign of the upload form, just a quick hack
to encourage people to add proper summaries.
2) The issue where [[Category:]] tags and the like inserted in the
description would not be added to the database properly has been fixed
(by backporting the existing fix from HEAD).
Please report any problems in Bugzilla.

I'm forwarding this from Wikipedia-l.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wiktionary.org_template contains
<form action="search-redirect.php"> which doesn't seem to have a
Wiktionary version.

Hi,
to whom it may concern:
I think this isn't the right list, but the only one I'm subscribed to:
the http://www.wiktionary.org search field links to wikipedia.org
entries, not to the wiktionary.org ones.

Thanks a lot!
Unfourtenately the csv-download is still disabled (not your fault).
Could *please* someone provide a way to download the raw data generated
by Wikistat?
Thanks a lot!

I understand the 1.5 database schema is considerably changed from that
of 1.4. Is it finalised? Still susceptible to minor tweaks? Still
susceptible to complete revision?
(I want to play with tools to do things with the SQL database, which
would need the schema written into them.)

I'm trying to programatically submit edits to my wiki via a http post, using
XMLHTTP. However, I am unable to 'persuade' the server to accept them. The
server always responds as if I'm asking for a preview.
Either:
* I'm not making the upload requests correctly
* There is a server side security model that forbids this
* I'm going mad :)
You can see the form-data I'm sending by going here:
http://81.5.150.113/wysi/Very_small_test?debug=yes&action=edit
then change the wikitext and click save, the request and response body will
be shown on the right (which I use as a debugging area)
Any help would be really appreciated, this is a real show-stopper for my
project.
Thanks,
Jim
Hallo,
I'm getting the following warning on top of all MediaWiki pages:
Warning: arg2 must be passed an array in
/srv/www/htdocs/wiki/languages/LanguageUtf8.php(53) : regexp code on line 1
It's the MediaWiki version 1.4.0 (the new stable version) on SuSE Linux
Enterprise Server 8 with PHP 4.2.2.
How can I solve that issue?
Regards,
Frank
