The IP of the current request is going to be the blocker, at least on retroactive autoblocks.

generating Messages.php from message cache
by Travis Derouin 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi, It seems like it's possible to edit the software messages by going to Special:Allmessages, clicking on a message, editing it and saving it. Is there any easy way to generate a MessagesXX.php file from what's the state of the message cache, so the messages can be moved between versions, or times when the messages are rebuilt? Travis

It would apparently have some use, if people keep making requests for things which rely on it. Well, let's do this officially, anyway: Brion, may we please have an edit count field? Steve

Different sysop levels
by Christophe Henner 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

Good evening/morning There's a discussion on the french speaking wikipedia about granted some users the power to block vandals one day. Is that possible? I do think right now it's not, but is it possible to create a new level granted by bureaucrats that allows the user ONLY to use blocking for a preset time? Those users wouldn't have access to delete and other sysops abilities. Before letting them going further into the organisation of this I though it was better to have a technical answer about it. Sorry to bother you Have a nice day -- schiste

Implementing a licensing quiz on Commons
by Brianna Laugher 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

Hello, It has been floated a few times that new users should have to go through a copyright or licensing quiz before uploading material to the Commons. If there was widespread community support to implement such a thing, would the developers be willing to code such a quiz into either Special:Createaccount or Special:Upload (for first time uploaders)? The type of quiz I mean is here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pfctdayelise/Licensing_quiz regards, Brianna user:pfctdayelise

It's confusing when reading the code, and can be maddening when splicing new code into the middle of an existing function that does this. There are a lot of examples of that in older code, unfortunately, but that shouldn't be emulated. ;) > - wfMsgExt( 'templatesused', array( 'parse' ) ) . > + wfMsgExt( 'templatesused' . ( $preview ? 'preview' : ( $section ? 'section' : '' ) ), array( 'parse' ) ) . I'm also not sure it's a great idea to build message key references dynamically this way, when it's not really needed. The way this code is, you won't be able to easily search for where the messages "templatesusedpreview" and "templatesusedsection" get used in the code. That can contribute to maintenance problems later; for instance the messages might get removed on the belief they are no longer being used. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
