It converts inline [url] footnotes into <ref>[url]</ref> notes; replaces
multiple instances of the same ref with <ref name="" />, sticks in
<references /> at the end, a bunch of other things, etc.
Not ready for primetime but I've been working on it for the Abramoff
articles.
To address the omnipresent desire of people to know about the speed of
vandalism reversion, it would be interesting to have a page showing
exactly that; recent reversions, and how long the previous revision
had remained there.
On the whole, this would be a positive stat. It would be useful for
editors, great for live presentations, and would let reporters and
other writers offer more detailed information.
Implementation : anything reverted by an admin clicking the rollback
button should show up. Other automatic-rv messages provided by
popup-assistants and vandal-fighting software should, too.
Has anyone tried producing something like this? I suppose I should
file it as a mediazilla feature request...

Hi all,
I'm new to mediawiki (brand new), and finding it excellent. I hope this
is the correct forum, apologies if it's not or this is has been discussed
before.
I've just set up a small private wiki, and set it so the only whitelist
page is Special:UserLogin. However I didn't want that to be the main
page, and obviously didn't want the LoginRequired page to redirect to the
main page = loop.
This is very similar to this post:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/mediawiki/45763
My solution (which doesn't seemed to be mentioned in the answers to
similar requests i'd found), was to add a returntoLogin method to
OutputPage.php:
function returntoLogin() {
global $wgOut;
$titleObj = Title::newFromText("Special:Userlogin" );
$wgOut->addMeta( 'http:Refresh', '5;url=' .
$titleObj->escapeFullURL() );
$this->addHTML("You will be refreshed to the login page in
5 seconds");
}
Then i changed loginToUse() from this: $this->returntoMain() to
$this->returntoLogin().
I also changed SpecialUserlogout.php to use this as well.
Does this make any sense? am i duplicating functionality that i haven't
found?
TIA,
Alex
Since SourceForge's anonymous CVS servers have been on the fritz for a couple
days, I'll be periodically uploading snapshot tarballs of the source from CVS

After whining about [[Guantanamo Bay Naval Base]] I was wondering if
it would be possible to develop a split or clone tool; like the move
tool but would allow a new page to be generated with the same history
as the other one.
I hate copying off tons of text from GBNB and losing the history; with
the clone/split tool I wouldn't have that problem. I'd think it would
be comparatively easy to implement in some clever fashion ??
because of migrating to an other domain i would like to know how it is
possible to use the visible content of the new domain within the old
domain. i tested IFrames, but they dont work for mediawiki-enviroments.
any hints?
thx, heinz
