Planned change to default IP blocking behavior
by Brion Vibber 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

A few months ago the ability was added to limit IP blocks to allow logged-in contributions to continue. This allowed finer-grained blocking of troublemakers on shared IPs (schools, AOL etc). There's some suggestion to make this the default mode. I wanted to announce this ahead of time since it will change what happens when admins make a block without manually clicking something extra. If there's no serious objection, we'll go ahead and change this in a few days. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Mailman runner restarted
by Brion Vibber 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Mailing lists weren't delivering mail for a few hours today, as the Mailman runner daemon didn't start up due to a stale lock file after goeje was rebooted. Direct human aliases and OTRS would not have been affected. Backed-up mail is going through now. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com / brion @ wikimedia.org)

Hallo Liste, befasse mich seit kurzem erst mit dem Mediawiki. Habe das mediawiki Local auf einen Kubuntu Rechner laufen und als DBMS verwende ich MySQL. 1. Ich würde gerne wissen welche Dateien(php Dateien) bzw. Funktionen an der Mediawiki Suchfunktion beteiligt sind? 2. Gibt es ein Mediawiki Tutorial oder hat mir jemand eine Literaturempfehlung wo der grundsätzliche Aufbau des Mediawiki erläutert wird. Danke schon mal für evtl. Hilfe. Toni P.

Spam Tool extension
by Travis Derouin 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hi, I've written an extension that allows users to add links to the Spam Blacklist straight from a diff page without manually editing the blacklist article. The basic goal is to streamline the process of reverting spam, since usually there are three actions that all need to be done when spam occurs: a) rollback b) add to the blacklist and c) block the IP. Another Unfortunately, it can't be demo'ed, since it can only be used by users who have rights to edit the Blacklist page on the wiki, but I did create an entry for the extension here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SpamDiffTool_Extension In future versions, I'd like to add the ability to also block and rollback while adding to spam on the fly. Unfortunately the way that the IPBlockForm and Block classes are written is that one would have to duplicate the code for the error checking if they want to make a new Block object to block an IP. Ideally, all of the error and rights checking should be in the Block class, so that extensions can reuse this code, without duplicating the code unnecessarily. If anyone has any suggestions or comments about the extension, I'd like to hear them. Thanks, Travis

major accessibility problem recently introduced to MediaWiki
by Graham Pearce 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

I'm user:Graham87 on the english wikipedia. I use a screen reader called JAWS from Freedom Scientific at: www.freedomscientific.com It is the most popular Windows screen reader at the moment. My problem is that it appears that the edit link has become part of the title of each section created with wiki markup. This problem is compounded when using quick navigation keys to navigate between sections; in this case, JAWS will stop reading a heading title when it encounters a link. Therefore, each heading title will be read as either "left bracket" or "edit" when I navigate between editable sections on a MediaWiki page. I tested this with JAWS 5.1 and 6.0, which aren't the most recent versions but are still widely used and the problem appears on both of them. I am using Windows XP with IE 6 (Firefox only works well with the latest versions of JAWS). The headings were working fine late last night my time (about 15:30 UTC on 21 October). I would like this fixed as soon as possible so only the section title is spoken when navigating through headings. Thanks, Graham
