I too feel that its crazy that these articles have been placed on Meta:Rfd when the main purpose of Metapedia is (and has always been) to discuss the direction of the Wikipedia/WikiMedia projects and to help co-ordinate work on existing and new editions. These test-wikis were set up to demonstrate commitment and to thrash out any problems which might impede their development before committing a developer to the task of setting them up properly. This is in order not to waste developer time on creating wikipedias which sound good in principle but aren't viable in practice and I would say that it falls under role three of the four roles described on Meta:About. However if we are going to be "run out of town" before we have had a chance to get properly started, I can only urge that the new wikipedias be set up properly immediately without a test period on Meta so that we have somewhere to run to.

HTML whitelist
by NSK 19 May '05

19 May '05

DefaultSettings.php from MediaWiki 1.3.9: # Allow limited user-specified HTML in wiki pages? # It will be run through a whitelist for security. # Set this to false if you want wiki pages to consist only of wiki # markup. Note that replacements do not yet exist for all HTML # constructs. $wgUserHtml = true; Where is this whitelist? -- NSK http://portal.wikinerds.org

Article validation feature (again) in 1.5?
by David Gerard 19 May '05

19 May '05

Sorry to keep on about this, but I'm still not clear as to whether this will be on in 1.5 - it's not on the 1.5 test wiki. (Brion switched it on and everything broke, so he switched it off again.) What will it take for it to be switched on in 1.5 on Wikipedia? Or at least on en:? (I ask in particular because if it's going on then we need to work out what things to rate articles on, debug the interface and so on.) - d.

Transfer of a wiki base
by Philippe Roth 19 May '05

19 May '05

Dear all, We made a transfer from a wiki database version 1.2.2 to version 1.3.10. All the articles we wrote in the old data base were well transfered but articles concerning Wiki Help, tutorials, etc... are empty, but these articles contain text in the old database. In fact, all the articles containing "wikipedia:" in the link seem to be empty after the transfer... We would like to know if there is a possibility to get all these "wikipedia:" articles in the new database as they are in the old database (in fact ALL the articles) or if these kind of articles are always empty in all databases transfers (these articles are always empty when creating a fresh installation of a database)? Many thanks for help and sorry for my english. Best regards, Philippe Roth Switzerland

dumps
by Domas Mituzas 18 May '05

18 May '05

Hello, new dumps (as of 20050516) available at http://download.wikimedia.org/ Please note, we no longer provide 2GB split files. I do sincerely believe, that HTTP has enough capability to do partial downloads of files ;-) And those splits simply double disk space requirements... Cheers, Domas
