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.

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!

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".

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.

Hello,
My webserver was upgraded to PHP 4.4.0 today and I started getting these notices in the logs. Is there anything I could do about these messages?
Thanks
