Language problems in es:wiki
by Carlos 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05

Since some weeks, messages in es:wiki alternate between our customized [[es:Especial:Allmessages]] and the defaults in LanguageEs.php. We thought it was a temporary situation, because of the upgrades (?), but we are using the new version now, and the problem continues. Can this please be fixed? We would like that only the customized messages are used. (If this is the wrong place to complain, please redirect me to the right one.) Thanks.

RE: [Wikitech-l] Re: Time to get some new servers

Hey, I won't be serious this time :) In year 2005 Gabriel Wicke cited 1 year old message: >> - Some new web servers(3 or 4), P4 2,8Ghz with 2Go of RAM > The web servers use about 210Mb ram currently (according to 'free'), > 512Mb ram and no raid for web servers would buy the same performance > for the same money. You can still all take a look at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hardware_report%2C_March-June%2C_2005 One year ago we had slightly different loads ;-) Cheers, Domas

Time to get some new servers
by Camille Constans 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05

Hello, As wikipedia is slow at the busy time, I propose to get some new servers for our cluster. - Some new web servers(3 or 4), P4 2,8Ghz with 2Go of RAM - A server which could be a backup for nfs server, zwinger, with bigger disk, 80Go is very low, maybe 200 or 250Go - Upgrading disk of zwinger to 200 or 250Go (or add a new one) - A db server in 64 bits mode with 4Go of RAM (if we cant make working geoffrin), like this one : http://www.macomp.com/products/servers/patriot2200.asp With raid 10 disk system, 4 or 6 drives in raid and 1 stand-by. I prefer 15000rpm disk, but I can understand that they are more expensive - Maybe another squid server What do you think of that ? Shaihulud

Re: [Wikitech-l] Diff?rence de recherche Wikimedia 1.3.13 et 1.4.5
by Philippe Roth 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05

Cher Brion, Un grand merci pour ta réponse qui a résolu notre problème. Ouf... Mais j'aimerais savoir si cette fonction est documentée à quelque part, car je n'avais pas réussi à trouver cela sur le web et surtout sur le site MediaWiki... En fait, y a-t-il un descriptif des différences fondamentales entre les versions 1.3.x et 1.4.x? Enfin, un autre petit problème: j'ai un utilisateur du nom de "zuzu". Dans la version 1.3.13, si je tape ce nom, j'ai une page indiquant: Utilisateur Zuzu 100% (*****) Dans la version 1.4.5, si je tape ce nom, j'ai la liste des pages créées par l'utilisateur mais aussi la page de l'utilisateur. Comment faire pour avoir une réponse identique à la version 1.3.13? Encore un grand merci pour ton aide très précieuse. Avec nos meilleures salutations, Philippe Roth

Patch for SearchState.stripWiki(String)
by Folke Behrens 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05

Hi, attached is patch for lucene-search/../SearchState.stripWiki() For now this is just trivial optimization since I couldn't find any test data for stripWiki. Right now I'm downloading en.wikipedia's cur table. Besides, what's the status? Is Lucene (Java) still the most promising candidate for the full text search engine? Regards, Folke

Licensing information transcluded from the Commons
by Erik Moeller 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

Please forward this information to your local project. Kate Turner has added code to MediaWiki to load licensing information directly from the Commons when viewing a local image description page. What this means is that you can go to, e.g., http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Aubrey_Beardsley_1.jpg and get the licensing information for that image from the Wikimedia Commons without having to "click through." This has been a highly requested feature for some time. This will only work for wikis that have been upgraded to MediaWiki 1.5. See Special:Version of your wiki to see if you have been upgraded already. The text of MediaWiki:Sharedupload may need to be updated. Many, many thanks to Kate for making this much requested change. All best, Erik

Interviki sorting
by Александр Сигачёв 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

We can display interwiki links ordered by language list in a MediaWiki message. Thus within each project it will be possible to adjust any uniform sorting: order by language names (latin names, then cyrillic, then hieroglyph...) or order by language codes or have ahead a few "major" languages. And if this "MediaWiki:Interwikiorder" is empty then list will be formed like now. Will it be useful feature? -- Alexander Sigachov

Import Database to mediawiki
by Chris Hittinger 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

Hi, i tried to import a database with some technical information to a mediawiki 1.4.4. To do that, i imported the data to the cur-Table through a insert-Statement and looked, what happened. The new pages appeared on the page with the uncategorized articles. As soon as i opened the articles to edit them, i couldn´t apply categories. The link simply didn´t appear on the changed page. On the web i found a script to import a usemod database, but this doesn´t suit my needs. Has anybody had a similar problem or has a piece of code, which i could use? PHP, Perl or something else. sincerly chris

Filters missing from "User contributions" page
by Nyenyec N 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

Do I see correctly that the filters from the "User Contributions" pages have been removed? Why? I think this is a problem for Wikipedias which tie voting rights to e.g. 200 contributions in the article space, such as de.wikipedia.org. That feature was *extremely* useful, e.g. to see if someone was ever rude on "User talk" pages before deciding about nominating them to admin status, etc. Will the filter be re-added? Thanks, nyenyec
