[WikiMedia] Search in article source code

by Brice V

Hi, I suggested an evolution on french Wikipedia for the soft WikiMedia : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Propositions_pour_le_logiciel#P… The idea is to produce a special page that enable the search in the source code of the wikipedia articles. For example, if i try to search [[Catégorie:Avion]] and [[Catégorie:ébauche]] i get all articles sorted by the number of match.. and there is so more examples... Maybe i got no answer because of this evolution isn't very secure ? i don't know. Another example : we got the question on the french Guilde of guides ;) on how searching some URL on wikipedia articles, because of a change of this url by the webmaster. The Wikipedia search and google search (i think) don't enable this kind of search. A special page that enable source code search is imho an interesting idea to solve a lots of request (evolution proposal). What could you say about this ? Thanks (sorry, my english is still so poor ;) Brice (alias Boly38)

categories as tags

by Steve Block

Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask this, but basically I was wondering if I could get a developer's opinion on whether it would be possible to have the category system work more like the tagging systems used by del.icio.us or flickr. There's a bit of a discussion at the village pump, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVillage_pump_%28techn… which might better explain the concept, but the idea is to bypass a lot of the problems the current system causes with regards to categorisation by gender, ethnicity, nationality, faith and sexual orientation. Any thoughts? Steve Block -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.375 / Virus Database: 267.14.20/234 - Release Date: 18/01/06

MediaWiki 1.5.6 and 1.4.14 released

by Brion Vibber

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 MediaWiki 1.5.6 and 1.4.14 are security and bugfix maintenance releases. A bug in edit comment formatting could send PHP into an infinite loop if certain malformed links were included. In most installations, this would cause the script to fail after PHP's 30-second failsafe timeout. in 1.5.6, some improvements have been made to the installer which should make installation possible on a system with a broken MySQL "root" account. Some miscellaneous fixes are also present; see the complete change list at the end of the release notes, linked below. 1.3.x releases are also vulnerable to the loop bug, but we are no longer maintaining that branch, and it doesn't work with current versions of PHP. Older installations probably should consider upgrading for the numerous bug fixes etc. Release notes: 1.5.6: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=386609 1.4.14: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=386608 Download: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.5.6.tar.gz?download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.4.14.tar.gz?downlo… MD5 checksums: adcb318d812af2d2637374a8aadc79c1 mediawiki-1.5.6.tar.gz 5cafd5f6adea43be0fedd64883d50127 mediawiki-1.4.14.tar.gz SHA-1 checksums: 8e0df360ddf5b267dd2b62e59a24c6921ccd1c43 mediawiki-1.5.6.tar.gz d3e57bb777a3ec8cc07d97ebf6afa850f3f743ab mediawiki-1.4.14.tar.gz Before asking for help, try the FAQ: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ Low-traffic release announcements mailing list: (Please subscribe to receive announcements of security updates.) http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce Wiki admin help mailing list: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l Bug report system: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ Play "stump the developers" live on IRC: #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net - -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com / brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDz1upwRnhpk1wk44RAlYyAJwMUnQad2EQECe4SVhzqiFUnzyiMQCeNnYb 4MBBzK/OwBWHUpn+/PO+qgc= =+3ip -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

mediawiki graphic profiling

by Domas Mituzas

Hello, I uploaded some random profile image at http://dammit.lt/2006/01/18/ mediawiki-graphic-profile/, take a look at big picture of some random web hit. It shows how inefficient our interwiki handling is, I'm trying to rewrite it now. I'm adding 'KCacheGrind' to a list of my favorite desktop applications, besides TextMate ;-) Domas

"Out of memory" style error

by Rob Church

A user in the #wikipedia IRC channel commented on an error he thought amusing. Given that Domas and either Brion or Tim (and I think Brion) were discussing it briefly in #wikimedia-tech, I thought I'd grab the details. Can't actually get anyone to respond to my pokes right now... URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Japan&oldid=35775401 Error text: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 52428800 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 10597086 bytes) in /usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.5/includes/Parser.php on line 301 Checking the code, that line seems to be in the middle of Parser::extractTagsAndParams() so gut instinct suggests, to me at least, that it's a massive chunk of text being handled somewhere, but that's pure speculation and could well be (and given my recent cockups, probably is) wrong.

mwdumper problems

by candy

Hi all, I tried to import the entire english wikipedia dump(some 15 gigs) in to mediawiki1.4. The entire process took 2 days and then, it seems nothing happened ! I got an error like the following in between somewhere. ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 28: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1 But the import was not aborted. So I let it continue. I used the follwoing command for the import : java -Xmx512m -server -jar mwdumper.jar --format=sql:1.4 pages_full.xml.bz2 | mysql -u root -p wikidb where wikidb is the database name. I think people had similar problems as is evident here http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Data_dumps But then what went wrong. Or what needs to be done to make it work ? Candy

Subversion coming

by Brion Vibber

SourceForge has begun a beta rollout of Subversion version-control service. I've signed us up for this, so at some point in the next few days hopefully we should have source over in SVN instead of / in addition to CVS. In addition to the general niceties of SVN (atomic multi-file commits!), anonymous access will not be delayed as it is on SF's CVS. This means that people who aren't signed up on our sourceforge project will now be able to get commits immediately with a 'svn up'. Subversion's command-line interface is mostly like CVS, so Unixy types shouldn't have much trouble getting used to it. There's a TortoiseSVN for Windows types who are used to TortoiseCVS. Some docs: https://sourceforge.net/docs/E09 https://sourceforge.net/docs/B01/en/#svn_client -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
