Public access to http://en.wikipedia.org/wikistats/csv/ has been switched
off some months ago.
Reason given was that the files are too large for download (20 Mb now)
I will add a last step to the counts job, to zip csv files, and make those
accessable.

Would a kind soul direct me to the procedure in translating
the error messages which appear when the Wikipedia servers
have problems. These apparently always start with "We are Sorry"
and are coming from http://wikimedia.org/errors/.
I thought it would be nice if we had some of those errors in Greek.

Something odd seems to have happened to the old revisions at
[[en:Camp_Hero]].
Looking at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Camp_Hero&action=history , the
last diff is from 4 Jan 2005
(http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Camp_Hero&diff=9097678&oldid=1130…).
If you go there and click on the "Older edit" link, you go to a revision
from 7 Jan 2005 (in the middle of the history list). However, if you
cliked instead on "Newer edit" and then "Older edit", you would get the
real first revision, and then you can view all edits in the proper
sequence. Doing that you find in the middle of the sequence another
revision which is exactly the same as the one which created the article,
down to the date and time (i.e. it jumps from 7 Jan to 4 Jan).
This can be highly confusing; I got shouted at by someone who thought I
had changed the article for the worse ([[User_talk:CesarB#Camp_Hero]]),
when in fact I saw the article just at that revision identical to the
first one, and added a stub message.
Possibly the wrong date confused the history sorting, but it does not
explain how the original revision got duplicated.
Could someone please take a look and fix the history of that article?

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, but recently I have
been getting DB errors like the following when trying to access pages in
the Wikipedia namespace (such as Votes for Deletion and Rquests for
Comment) If I refresh the page, it will load correctly. Just thought
someone should know.
Sincerely,

Hello :)
I've noticed the wiki (seems) much much faster since yesterday. I wish to thank everyone working on the servers and the software for their work on that essential part of the project.
Ok, this mail doesn't bring any new information, but I've often complained of slowness, so the least I can do is thank people when it's working nicely :)
Keep up the good work!

Hi, can anyone tell me where to find the code for the automatic creation of
the table of contents based on the headline text within a page?
What page is it contained in?
Thanks in advance,
Alison

At some point of time I traversed whole code and checked for timestamp usages.
All of those were replaced with $db->timestamp(), which chooses correct timestamp.
If some patches were commited later in, I could miss the review.

Well, this is maybe wrong thing done, but using NULL's might need reviewing code again :)

Hi, as many of you know we are adding pronunciations on commons and link
them wherever this is possible.
Now there's one thing I don't like when inserting the link to the
soundfile on commons.
Just have a look here:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bushhttp://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush
After George Walker Bush we have this sign for outbound links, but
really it is not an oubound link - it is a pronunciation. We have the
same problems for the language courses on wikibooks and of course also
wiktionary.
Since the soundfiles are going to be more and more used it would be
great if we had a sign (maybe a music note or somethin similar) that
indicates that there is the pronucination. This will also help people to
immediately understand which one is the point to click on to "hear".
Do you see a solution for this?
Thank you and have a geat day!
Ciao, Sabine

Hi,
just wanted to thank you folks for MediaWiki. I just installed version
1.3.11 so that we could try to grow our knowledge base on top of it, in
a collaborative manner. I was _very_ impressed with how easy it was to
install it (IMHO it's as "turn key" as a software needs to be) and to
use it (as a reader/ editor). Documentation is excellent.
Many thanks and congratulations. Keep up the excellent work. I am
looking forward to trying version 1.4 when it stabilizes -- please,
please, please make sure upgrade from 1.3.x will be painless =)
Best,
Andre
PS: I am not subscribed to the list.
