Looking at some comments on Wikipedia's mirrors and forks, many people have
found that their user pages were mirrored in other sites, and ultimately
their personal information out of control. So is it possible for you to stop
putting the articles in the user namespace in the dumps?
thanks,

I just discovered Kate's tool and was curious about my deleted edits.
I'd like to see which edits were deleted so that I can become a better
editor (avoiding those mistakes). Is there a plan to reinstate this
functionality?

Recent changes has become rather crowded with all that cursed popularity
of Wikipedia :-)
One often-mentioned solution was the ability to filter Recent changes by
categories. Well, now you have it!
It's turned off by default, no worries. To enable, set
$wgAllowCategorizedRecentChanges
in LocalSettings.php
It uses my aforementioned class to determine wether an article belongs
to a category or one of its sub(subsubsub...)categories. Categories can
be entered on the Recent changes page, separated by "|". You can filter
for articles belonging or either any or all of the given categories
(OR/AND).
Once the usual authorities had a look at it, I'd like it to be enabeled
on some medium-sized wikipedia to determine the impact on the database
slave servers, which might or might not be severe.
I think this would be a very efficient way of managing our "RC patrol
forces" by dividing the huge amout of changes-to-be-checked into smaller
chunks.
What's missing is "articles that don't belong to any category". Yet!

After a long period of absence, test.wikipedia.org has returned. Unlike the
old test.wikipedia.org, it is running essentially the same code as the rest
of the Wikimedia wikis. The difference is that it uses the copy from NFS
rather than the synced copy on the local apache hard drives, which means
that we can more easily test for errors in the Wikimedia environment before
we take the final step and do a sync. Hopefully this will reduce the number
of transient PHP errors seen on the site, which are most often due to
differences between the developer's test environment and the Wikimedia
environment.
The rather cynical protected warning on the main page is my doing, I want to
have at least one goatse-free page on the wiki so that I can test the code
in peace.

Hello
I have been trying to setup a MediaWiki installation (v 1.5.5) with 4
different languages (a separate MediaWiki for each language) but I've
had some trouble. The first language installation I setup is fine, but
with subsequent installations, the Navigation menu is displayed in the
language of the first installation (so German was my first installation
and French was my second, but the Navigation menu of my French
installation was in German). I was wondering if this might be caused by
choosing eAccelerator as the caching program during installation? Or it
would be a great help if anyone could point me in the right direction to
solving this.
thanks,
Andrew.
Hi
When I run maintenance/upgrade1_5.php to convert iso8859-1 to UTF-8 as
told in UPGRADE I get these errors.
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: specialpage in
/home/www/sites/tobbe.nu/mediawiki-1.5.5/includes/SpecialPage.php on line 72
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: unlistedspecialpage
in /home/www/sites/tobbe.nu/mediawiki-1.5.5/includes/SpecialPage.php on
line 396
linenumbers could be bogus as I changed the file to get it to work.
The issue is that you need to put the classes at the top of the file
SpecialPage.php. I did that and the upgrade works.
another issue is in UPGRADE, you need to tell folks to change $IP and
not just to copy LocalSettings.php, otherwise no upgrade works..
thanks for a great product.
kind regards Tobias
Hi,
A new design for Wiki editing buttons:

I made it as a better fit for Wiki silvery style.
