Hello "all",
I have just published my recent version (3.07) of - see subject.
If you are interested in using MediaWiki with e-mail notification for
page and/or user_talk page changes, please consider to visit
http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454 . You are invited to
add your e-mail address to the CC list of this bugzilla, if you want to
receive always the latest news or to track new releases.
It also introduces direct links to the "difference to my last seen
revision" of pages, you have on your watchlist.
The patch works without "glitches" and is an improved(!) back-port from
what is already in CVS HEAD (version 1.5).
The indicated download URL ( http://www.wikinaut.de/mw/mw141+enea.tgz )
directs you to the version of REL1_4 incl. my additions, which are
listed also on http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enotif .
Wikinaut Tom
I would like to know, whether you also like a new feature
- additional user option for Sysops, Developers and Bureaucrats (SDBs)
- configurable through a regular expression (RE) - per SDB.
which sends an Enotif (e-mail notification) to the SDBs on creation of a
new page - if the RE matches.
It can now easily be included in my Enotif 3.x for Mediawiki REL1_4 (1.4.1).

Hi,
first I thought this might be a frequently asked question but I researched half
an hour and it also appears not to be a frequently answered question. So -
subject says it already:
Is there a possibility/parameter (or patch) which opens a new window when
left-clicking something like [http:/www.domain.tld/directory/filename.html Click
here]?
Just like <a target="_blank"
href="http:/www.domain.tld/directory/filename.html">Click here</a>?
Cheers
Philipp
there was an incident with postfix mail delivery software (some corrupted spool files crashed queue manager), therefore you all poor souls had to suffer mailing list withdrawal. Seems to be working lately.
Cheers,

I have put up a test site for the Serbian language that supports
Cyrillics and Latin alphabets: http://s87257573.onlinehome.us/sr/
Just for the fun of it, I also made a English version, running at
http://s87257573.onlinehome.us/en/

Hello dear all,
I don't know if it is the right place to send this EMail, I will see soon...
Sorry in adavance for my poor english :-[
I'm trying to build a wiki web site for a professional use. I'm
paleontologist and I want to create a databank on fossil species with the
help of my colleague dispersed all around the world. It will be a non-public
website, the subject is too much specialized for non professionals.
I have no good knowledge in informatic, therefore, it is not very easy for
me.
I have different questions to ask, if somebody can help me on those
topics, thank you in advance:
1) As sysop, normally I can block users. To test this function I have
tried to block an user but the system refuse the username and ask for the
IP address? How can I solve this problem? IP address is not interesting as
many of us use different computers with different IP adresses. By example:
I have three computers connected to internet with, of course, three
different IP adresses. In addition I don't know the IP address of the
other users.
2) In the page "special pages for all users" the different entries towards
the different special pages are not alphabetically organized, isn't possible to sort
them in alphabetic order?
3) It is the same for the special page on categories. They are all mixed.
Isn't possible to sort them in an alphabetic order?
4) In the Wikipedia website, I have seen that it is possible, in editing a
page, to insert special characters in using a table containing them in the
lower part of the edited page. This is a very useful tool. How can I add
this in my wiki website?
Sorry to ask you so much questions.
Thanks a lot for all help.
Regards
Philippe

When I tried to view the following page
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target=mb…
I got the following error message:
Database error
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
For Mbecker (Talk)
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in
the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "wfSpecialContributions". MySQL returned error
"1053: Server shutdown in progress (10.0.0.2)".
Also, when looking at the source of this page I found the following:
<b>Warning</b>: mysql_query(): Unable to save result set in
<b>/usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.4/includes/Database.php</b> on
line <b>325</b><br />
Also, in case this helps:

Also, on a different page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:#20406
which is linked to by
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special%3AIpblocklist I get the
following:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in

Yes, indeed you can. It's easiest to access the cur_table (the current
version of articles, not the history).
Get a Wikipedia cur_table dump, install mysql, tweak its config
parameters a bit so it can read the very large chunks the DB dump is
written in, and execute the dump as a set of mysql commands. This will
build and populate a copy of the database, which you can then directly
read using SQL commands to mysql.
A lot of the structure of the database is self-evident, but you will
need a bit of advice to get the finer details of all the information in
the dump. Backup dumps contain compressed data, and are harder, but not
at all impossible, to access.
The same goes for accessing live data from your own local Wikipedia
installation's database, if you have one.

Dear Neil,
Thanks a lot and please give me more info.
I am running Linus Fedora Core 3. Somebody tel me that I need some files
for every database.
For instance I have: db.frm, db.MYD, db.MIY in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.
I have 2 dumps (20050309_cur_table.sql, 20050309_old_table.sql) for
Romanian wikipedia on directory
/mnt/120GB/nou-01-24/MyD/01/Lucrari_Wikipedia/wikipedia-ro
I also have one English version couple of files and intend to read from
it eider.
Next I hope to write some C code to access info from database.
Thanks again,
Mircea
