I checked most of them by my discussion page, or by some random edit from the RC list: http://encyklopedia.servis.pl/wiki/ http://www.eldamar.my.link.pl/encyklopedia/ http://www.wiki.brief-reklama.pl/ http://www.artemobili.com.pl/encyklopedia/ http://wiki.optymalizacja.com/wiki/ http://www.polsek.org.pl/Main_Page.pyw (all the links go to the Polish Wikipedia, but anything you insert in the URL works) http://www.ee.pw.edu.pl/~kochanor/wiki/ (not the Polish Wikipedia, but other Polish projects) -- Pozdrawiam, Dariusz "Datrio" Siedlecki

<includeonly> and <noinclude>
by Tim Starling 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

I wrote a feature at Wikimania and forgot to announce it outside that audience. It's live now on Wikimedia websites. The feature is the ability to control template inclusion by the use of <noinclude> and <includeonly> tags. Anything between <noinclude> and </noinclude> will be processed and displayed only when the page is being viewed directly, not included. Possible applications are: * Categorising templates * Interlanguage links to similar templates in other languages * Explanatory text about how to use the template The converse is <includeonly>. Text between <includeonly> and </includeonly> will be processed and displayed only when the page is being included. The obvious application is: * Adding all pages containing a given template to a category Note that the usual update problems apply -- if you change the categories inside a template, the categories of the referring pages won't be updated until those pages are edited. Beware of bugs: this hasn't been tested in a real wiki environment yet. -- Tim Starling

rich client / webservice research
by Joshua Marinacci 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hello all. I was wondering if there is a particular website or mailing list specifically about automated access to the Wikipedia content? I'm thinking of something along the lines of a webservice API or spec for semantic XHTML content. Perhaps something about desktop application access as well? I'm the author of Flying Saucer, an embeddable Java XHTML renderer and I'm interested in making a client which could render Wikipedia content in interesting ways. (annotations, searching, animation, etc.) I'm wondering if there are existing resources on this some where. Thanks! - Joshua

MediaWiki 1.5rc2 released (package fix)
by Brion Vibber 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The MediaWiki 1.5rc1 release package was mistakenly built from the development source tree rather than the 1.5 release source tree. If you find yourself with a site claiming to be "1.6alpha" at Special:Version, you might be slightly more avant garde than you had intended. :) A corrected 1.5rc2 package from the 1.5 release branch has been uploaded.

enotifwiki 3.50 released = mediawiki1.5rc1
by Thomas Gries 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

to whom it may concern download links, helpdesk, documentation as usual on http://www.enotifwiki.org changes: * small bugs are fixed * updated to MediaWiki 1.5rc1 * e-mail notifications can be again configured to show a _fixed_ server address which avoids http://localhost/... links in enotifs (when someone edits locally)

I put a "permalink" link in the sidebar. Consider it a trial, please tell me what you think. This has often been suggested, but it was most recently discussed at: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposa… The UI message name to translate the link is "permalink". -- Tim Starling

MediaWiki 1.3.14, 1.4.8, 1.5rc1 released [SECURITY]
by Brion Vibber 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 MediaWiki 1.5rc1 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series. Numerous bug fixes since last beta, plus a security fix; see change log in the release notes for full details. A flaw in the interaction between extensions and HTML attribute sanitization was discovered which could allow unauthorized use of offsite resources in style sheets, and possible exploitation of a JavaScript injection feature on Microsoft Internet Explorer. This version expands the returned text and properly checks it before output. MediaWiki 1.4.8 is a bug fix and security maintenance release. It fixes the above bug, plus an update to skins/MonoBook.php ensures that sites using the default MonoBook skin will display correctly in the Internet Explorer 7 beta. (1.3 and 1.5 are not affected by this display problem.) MediaWiki 1.3.14 is a security maintenance release. The 1.3.x series is no longer maintained except for security fixes; new users and those seeking bug fixes should upgrade to 1.4.8 or 1.5rc1. Existing 1.3.x installations not willing to upgrade to the current stable relase should apply the change manually; details are in the release notes. If you are actively using extensions to generate HTML attribute values, upgrade to 1.4 or 1.5 for a full fix; 1.3.14 simply disables any attempt to use such.
