Please enable bot filtering on en.wp watchlists
by Brian 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

One of the groups of pages on my watchlist is a large number of year articles. My watchlist has been constantly flooded with bots adding interwiki links to these pages. Out of the 122 items on the first page of my watchlist, 77 are Chobot year edits. According to "Wegge", da.wp has run fine for 8 months with $wgFilterRobotsWL = true; Can someone please enable this on en.wp? Thanks. brian0918

Fundraising info back online
by Brion Vibber 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Kyle had another go at resuscitating tingxi, the machine that was housing the fundraising status information, but it remains uncooperative. I've commandeered friedrich, another of the old Apache batch which is due to be retired from main service due to its slower processor and low memory. It's now online & showing the fundraising goodies. It may take some hours for all DNS to properly clear for fundraising.wikimedia.org; try friedrich.wikimedia.org if it isn't working for you. I'll continue live updates of the database shortly; for now I ran a batch update. About two days of data are missing from mid-February due to various core machines being down, but everything since should be properly collected into the log. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

A couple notes: First, since this changes the HTML output of section headings this has broken several of the parser test cases. When changing parser behavior it's a really good idea to run the parser tests before and after. If anything's stopped working, you should determine whether it's because the new code is broken or because the output has legitimately changed; if it's broken, fix it. :) If it's a legitimate change, fix the test case output in parserTests.txt so it runs clean. Also, it's best to put in some test cases for the behavior you're changing if they aren't already there. This can ensure that you've coded the new feature correctly and that any future regressions will be caught. Offhand I tried tossing some examples of markup and other non-plaintext into headers to see what the output would be; things appear to be getting double-escaped. (eg, "<" turns into "&lt;" in the HTML, showing "<" in the mouseover popup) It might be good to de-escape here. (There should be a method on Sanitizer to intepret HTML entities into plaintext.) -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Trying to purge the annoying cache without using 'action=purge'
by thomas Armstrong 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Hi. I try to make MedaWiki serve the very last webpage, instead of the cached one. I've just found out the tip of adding 'action=purge' to the URL, but is there another way without using this URL extra code? Thank you very much.

PHP 5.1.3RC1 testing
by Ilia Alshanetsky 09 Mar '06

Hello! You are receiving this email because your project has been select to take part in a new effort by the PHP QA Team to make sure that your project still works with PHP versions to-be-released. With this we hope to make sure that you are either aware of things that might break, or to make sure we don't introduce any strange regressions. With this effort we hope to build a better relation between the PHP Team and the major projects. If you do not want to receive these heads-up emails, please reply to me personally and I will remove you from the list; but, we hope that you want to actively help us making PHP a better and more stable scripting language. The first release candidate of PHP 5.1.3 can be found at http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.1.3RC1.tar.bz2. This is not a final RC, but we hope it will be followed by a final RC2 that should be released in mid-March. At this time I would like to ask you to test your application against this release and let us know about any issues that you discover. We are particularly interested in backwards compatibility breaks and new issues appeared in this release, but were not present in prior 5.1 versions. If you find any issues, please contact the PHP QA team at "php-qa(a)lists.php.net". In case you think that other projects should also receive this kinds of emails, please let me know privately, and I will add them to the list of projects to contact. regards, Ilia Alshanetsky 5.1 Release Master
