webalizer, or not
by Kate 17 Jul '05

17 Jul '05

well, webalizer is not particularly efficient or scalable, and can't handle the load from processing our logfiles, so it's disabled now. i've hacked up a stats package that generates similar information quite a bit faster (25 mins vs 1.5hrs), and it's running at http://www2.knams.wikimedia.org/stats/ at the moment it's quite basic, but it'll expand to cover more statistics as i have time to work on it. kate.

MediaWiki 1.4.7 released
by Brion Vibber 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 MediaWiki 1.4.7 is a bug fix release. Those affected by the following problems in 1.4.6 should upgrade: * Watchlist breakage on MySQL 3.23.x and with table prefix enabled * Possible breakage in watchlist, some image resizing modes on PHP 4.1.2 1.4.6 included a fix for a cross-site scripting vulnerability, so anyone running older 1.4 releases is very strongly encouraged to upgrade as well. Note to upgraders: current versions of MediaWiki are known to produce a large number of notice-level warnings under the newly released PHP 4.4.0. These appear however to be harmless; if you encounter them add this to your LocalSettings.php to suppress the notices: ~ error_reporting( E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE ); PHP 5.1.0beta3 is known to be incompatible at this time.

Fwd: [Wikitech-l] Re: Case sensitivity on Afrikaans Wiktionary
by Mark Williamson 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Gerard. It is very much like you to attack someone for a short comment with little meaning attached. I said: > >Because they speak Afrikaans, and would be able to give the view of a > >native speaker. And you told me that I may know a lot about languages, but nothing about Wiktionary. That response is uncalled-for. It is insulting, untrue, and on top of that a slap in the face after my having just begun to monitor inactive Wiktionaries a week or so ago. You do not speak Afrikaans (this, not "African", is the English name as well). Different languages may have peculiar capitalisation rules, which require headwords to be capitalised. The simple input of a native speaker is not difficult to obtain, and we would do well to get it. We can ask them, "in Afrikaans dictionaries, are headwords capitalised?". And they will answer us. Very easy. But you choose instead to make blanket assumptions about all languages, and to tell me what I do and don't know. My brain is my own, and only I know which things I do and don't know. I do not plan on giving you my brain anytime soon, either, thank you very much. Good day to you, sir.

loading data
by Nicholas W. Miller 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hello, I've installed a fresh wiki and I'm looking to seed it with about 1000 initial entries. I've written a PHP script to load the categorylinks, cur and searchindex tables, however I get the Edit Conflict error anytime I try to apply an edit within the wiki interface. Can anyone explain why this is happening and how I can fix it? Thanks, Nicholas Miller Intercast Media, Inc. 229 19th Ave. Suite 4 San Francisco, CA 94121 415-379-9500 415-520-9501 (fax) nick(a)intercastmedia.com

TeX Fonts
by Ben Raskob 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hello, I'm running a MediaWiki server on a linux box running Kubuntu, and I'm trying to get my environment set up for TeX use. It all went pretty well, but I can't seem to use the 'ominus' or 'otimes' fonts. I have 'oplus' though. Can anyone tell me how to get the 'ominus' font? Thanks, Ben

Request for Dutch-Low Saxon Wikipedia
by Servien Ilaino 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hi everyone, On the Wikipedia-L mailinglist we have had long discussions about this subject (one person was against the creation, but didn't speak a word of Low Saxon.) we have at least 5 people willing to work on it and others who support the creation. The Low Saxon version exists but this is Plattdüütsch (flat German) and not the Dutch variant used, people also complain it is very hard to understand each other and this is why I'd like to request nds-nl.wikipedia. We need the creation of http://nds-nl.wikipedia.org (nds-nl, is the ISO code) I have set up a test-wp (please see: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Test-wp/nds-nl/) Please let me know if anyone is willing to work on the creation of it. Kind regards, Servien Ilaino

"/execscriptdir/php.cgi" my eye!
by Greg Turner 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

I've just installed MediaWiki at http://www.gregturner.org/wiki. As you can see, it's got all of the link URLs wrong, including for the stylesheet. At first, it didn't run at all, returning a 500 because the URL redirected to http://gregturner.org/execscriptdir/php.cgi/index.php?title=Main_Page. I looked in LocalSettings.php and found: $wgScriptPath = "/execscriptdir/php.cgi" which I changed to $wgScriptPath = "/wiki" and then it ran, but still the links are messed up. I've had a manual look about (but this isn't my computer and I can't batch search the contents of files) and can't find any other mention of execscriptdir. phpInfo stores this string on SCRIPT_FILENAME and SCRIPT_NAME plus when surrounded by _SERVER[] or _ENV[] The question: where in the code is it getting the value "/execscriptdir/php.cgi" for every URL and where can I change it to "/wiki"? Thanks a lot! G.
