Where did <onlyinclude> come from?
by Mark Clements 15 Oct '06

15 Oct '06

Someone just used an <onlyinclude> tag in a template in MediaWiki. From playing with it, it seems that the following two examples are identical: ===EX A <noincludeHeader</noinclude Template <noinclude>Footer</noinclude> ===EX B Header <onlyinclude>Template</onlyinclude> Footer I could not find any documentation on MW.org, meta, en.wp or even Google, and it is not in any of the release notes going back to 1.6. Is this a hyper-new (1.9) feature, or just very poorly documented? If the former, is it safe to use it yet? If the latter, is there a reason for hiding this feature? - Mark Clements (HappyDog)

Hey, Does anyone have any suggestions about this bug? http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6464 More and more users on our site are experiencing it and actually are able to edit articles as other users. I can't reproduce it myself, unfortunately. Thanks, Travis

Status updates: image slowness and Europe downtime
by Brion Vibber 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

Just some updates for those not following the logs or IRC channel closely: Images have been very slow during peak hours as load has continued to raise to a level where the disk array on the backend server can no longer keep up with peak demand. Several measures have been put in place over the week to alleviate this a bit: brion: The image-based 'captcha' on some sites has been temporarily replaced with a text-based one until the proper captcha is updated to search its files in a more efficient way mark: The proxy servers in front of upload.wikimedia.org have been tweaked to cache more aggressively JeLuF: A portion of thumbnails for commons are now served through an alternate server (bacon) instead of the central one (amane) and probably a few other tweaks. New cache and fileserver boxes are on order and should hopefully arrive soon (some have arrived already, I think, and should be installed shortly), which will let us share the load more evenly. There has also been some downtime to Europe due to routing problems which intermittently shut off access to our Amsterdam cluster for a few minutes while the routers scream at each other. There's not a lot we can do directly about this other than hoping that the Surfnet issues get worked out soon; it's upstream of us. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com / brion @ wikimedia.org)

Parser function hooks in MediaWiki 1.8
by Adam Atlas 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

A few days ago I upgraded my wiki to 1.8.1 (from 1.7.something), and all of my parser function hooks (the tags with {{#Blah: ...}} syntax added with $wgParser->setFunctionHook) stopped working. (That is, they started showing up verbatim, unparsed.) I upgraded the ParserFunctions extension, the one with the conditional evaluation things and such, to the latest version, and they now work fine. But my own custom-written hooks still don't work. I tried comparing the new version of ParserFunctions to the one I previously had installed, but I couldn't figure out what changes were necessary to make it work in the new version. What changed about the semantics of adding such hooks in MW 1.8?

Template Oddities
by Mike O 13 Oct '06

13 Oct '06

I'm finding some odd template behavior after importing articles from Wikipedia. Here's an example snippet from the John Lennon page - the infobox on the right side had what appear to be HTML tags visible, but when viewing the source code I see that < and > chars have been translated to < and > which explains why they show up looking like HTML, but doesn't explain how I get the software to not translate those chars: John Lennon <tr style="text-align: center;"><td colspan="3"> The HTML source looks like this: <big>John Lennon</big> <tr style="text-align: center;"><td colspan="3"> I think I have all the same extensions installed (I could be wrong though, I checked Special:Version page and they appear to match save for a few things that seem to not be available to the public) so I wonder why this happens. Anybody know? If it is a missing extension then which one? Or maybe it's a config setting?
