usage of {{ns:foo}} in localurl
by Reinhardt Wiewe 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

Dear friends, some weeks ago I noticed broken links at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages/All#General http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Template_messages/Gener… {{ns:foo}} in localurl will generate broken links. Some other examples you can find at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/localurl_Special_Allpages . Sorry to tell you about this only now. I think it sould be the best to make a database querry searching {{lovalurl:{{ns: provide me the result and / or fix all thouse pages manualy. Another posibility is to use a bot.

New Wikistats
by Erik Zachte 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

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.

Minor changes to upload form
by Erik Moeller 24 Mar '05

24 Mar '05

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. Erik

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! Jakob

1.5/HEAD schema finalised?
by David Gerard 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

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.) - d.

Help needed using POST to submit changes to my wiki
by Jim Higson 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

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
