_Show changes_ button destroys edit summary
by Phil Boswell 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

I like the new "Save changes" feature, but the current installation on enwiki seems to destroy the edit summary, which AFAICT is a bad thing. How come this didn't show up before? HTH HAND -- Phil [[en:User:Phil Boswell]]

en.wikipedia.org open for business
by Brion Vibber 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Woo, that was fun! Good news: We've got our BiggestWiki upgraded, in less time than I feared (under 24 hours!) and the servers still live. The scripts have gotten some additional stress-testing from problems that didn't show up on the dozens of wikis we upgraded yesterday (but of course we're real glad we fixed the problems revelaed on _them_ first!) I'll write up some more notes in a bit. It's all downhill from here, folks. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

[Wikitech-l] AVAR: http://cvs.defau.lt/phase3/includes/SpecialWatchlist.php?rev=1.56&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
by Thomas Gries 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Re: SpecialWatchlist.php I would like to suggest as soon as possible to revert the both changes of Avar and to return to the version Nr. 1.56 of SpecialWatchlist.php, which worked perfectly, even when the list was twice so long as before. Reasoning:: ========= I also thought last year, when I developed Enotif, that dividing the "number of watched pages" and not showing talk pages on magic special watchlist was a solution - but it isn't. (comment code is still in the CVS some line above Avar's recent patch). Please allow me to explain. Within Enotif EVERY SINGLE page (article, talk and so on) ist treated separately. This is documented,see also [1] This has the big advantage, that users can now separately watch (or unwatch) article and/or talk pages --> clicking onto "watch" always adds BOTH pages to the watchlist, but using special watchlist, one or the other can be removed now. For this reason, simply not showing talk pages and dviding the number by 2 is _not_ a good solution. Therefore I asked the developer to return for a while to version 1.56 of SpecialWatchlist.php until a better solution (e.g. a two-column watchlist view) is implemented.

Non-integral number of pages on watchlist
by Phil Boswell 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

I can only assume that some quirk of the migration to version 1.5 has produced the message which graces the top of my watch-list this morning: You have 2,630.5 pages on your watchlist (including talk pages); ... Huh?!? What's the spare half-page for? -- Phil [[en:User:Phil Boswell]] I'd also like to know why Outlook Express thinks that "wtachlist" should be spelled "titlist" (sic :-)

User groups on Wikimedia projects
by Dariusz Siedlecki 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hey everyone, some of you may know me from IRC or Meta, but this is my first post here. I have one simple (I hope) question - will there be a possibility to either create custom user groups on the Wikimedia projects, or give single users special permissions? For instance, I can do with a rollback function on pl.Wikipedia, and I don't need the other sysop functions. Would it be possible for one to do something like that, or are we staying with sysops/bureaucrats? -- Best regards, Dariusz "Datrio" Siedlecki

Limiting amount of content per wiki page
by edward molasses 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hello, I am installing MediaWiki to be used to hold a dictionary and I would like to be able to give an administrator the ability to control how long dictionary entries (i.e. wiki pages) should be. I have not been able to find reference to this functionality in MediaWiki's documentation so I am assuming it is not implemented. Could anyone suggest where in the MediaWiki source code I would look to go about implementing this type of functionality? Thanks! Andrew.
