Re: [Wikitech-l] [Bug 8381] Don't remove whitespace before [[Category:...]]

by Dan Jacobson

b> I think this is so that you don't have ugly whitespace at the end of an article, Ah ha, assuming that is where people always stick categories. Well, it would have to be a very smart(?) template that can stick a category at the end of a page at the same time as a link in the middle of a page.

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Bug 8383] red links vs. navigation panel

by Dan Jacobson

b> Links in the sidebar are not checked for redlinkiness, no. Is there b> any reason they should be? Just as much reason as any link. Why make them a special case? of brokenness too. If they are red then we won't click on them like a boob. If they are red then we will remember to do something about them, (edit or remove (with "-")) especially as every user sees them on every page!

Thanks for the nice new CheckUser interface!

by David Gerard

Lovely, just what we've been after. I also heartily approve of the inclusion of a "reason" field. - d.

track changes / svn blame view

by Dave Grogan

I have made further progress on this extension. Check out these screenshots, I've got a "rendered" track changes view working in addition to the raw view. You can also look at these things side-by-side, similar to the current diff view. original page (notice the 2 track changes tabs) http://people.virginia.edu/~kjl3d/wiki/page.png raw track changes view http://people.virginia.edu/~kjl3d/wiki/raw.png raw side by side track changes view http://people.virginia.edu/~kjl3d/wiki/rawSidebySide.png rendered view http://people.virginia.edu/~kjl3d/wiki/rendered.png rendered side-by-side view http://people.virginia.edu/~kjl3d/wiki/renderedSideBySide.png Anyway, the discussion about changes to the ArticleSaveComplete hook seems to have been trailed off. Mark Clements had some ideas on how I could get the same functionality without changing the hook but they didn't pan out like we'd hoped. The crux of the problem is that the newly-added revision isn't passed to the hook (see thread "can I add parameters to hooks used by two extensions (spellchecker and svn blame-like view"). I'd like to get this extension checked into subversion so that others can use it. I'd also like to amend the ArticleSaveComplete hook in whatever way seems most fit so that this extension can work. Who do I talk to about getting commit access so that I can commit this extension, continue development on it, and make any agreed-upon changes to the hook? Thanks, Dave

Sluggish access to Wikipedia

by Jim

I've made many positive contributions to Wikipedia and would like to continue to do so. Normally, my access to Wikipedia pages has been quick. However, for the past two or three days, my access to each Wikipedia page has been slowed considerably. When I click on a Wikipedia link for example, it now takes 20, 40, and even 60 seconds or longer for the page to fully appear on my computer screen. In addition, when I try to post items now, I've started receiving lost data messages. I've tested my computer and do not believe that the problem is on my end. Would you please help speed up my access to Wikipedia. For example, please look at my Wikipedia account. Perhaps something has changed in my account to cause my access to Wikipedia to be much slower. Thank you. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Ooh yes. Do we need to wait on single login for that to be a reasonable thing to do? I understand a dev also has to explicitly allow transwiki to move histories, though I'm not at all clear on the details. [cc'd to wikitech-l for my cluification] - d.
