A number of new language subdomains for various Wikimedia projects have been requested in the recent months. The ones listed below (according to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Approved_requests_for_new_languages) have been approved by the Community after thorough examination and discussion. All of them have sufficient support by native/proficient speakers as well as ISO language codes. On behalf of the Wikimedians interested in contributing to our projects in those languages, I'd would like to ask for the early creation of the wikis listed below: Wikipedia * Wu: zh-wuu.wikipedia.org * Mazandarani: mzn.wikipedia.org * Nepal Bhasa (Newar): new.wikipedia.org * Lak: lbe.wikipedia.org * Emilian-Romagnol: eml.wikipedia.org * Buryat: bxr.wikipedia.org * Upper Sorbian: hsb.wikipedia.org * Novial: nov.wikipedia.org * Pangasinan: pag.wikipedia.org Wikisource * Bosnian: bs.wikisource.org * Malayalam: ml.wikisource.org * Slovak: sk.wikisource.org * Slovenian: sl.wikisource.org * Min Nan (Taiwanese): zh-min-man.wikisource.org Wikiquote * Ido: io.wikiquote.org Wiktionary * Cebuano: ceb.wiktionary.org * Pangasinan: pag.wiktionary.org Wikibooks * Cebuano: ceb.wikibooks.org For details, please see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Approved_requests_for_new_languages. For any questions, please feel free to contact me, post to the "Approved requests for new languages" talk page or to the wikipedia-l mailing list. Your help in enabling multilingualism is great appreciated. Thanks for your attention! Arbeo

Upgrading through web-based install?

by Jan Vanoverpelt

I would like to upgrade my 1.5.7 wiki to version 1.6.6 but i have ONLY ACCESS TO: 1) the files through FTP 2) the database through phpmyadmin I was thinking of upgrading through a web-based install, but it seems that i have to make the 'config' subdirectory writable by the web server. Is there a way to upgrade without having to make something writable on the webserver or i am missing something? thanks! Jan

Hi, I use Text_Wiki package to parse database of polish wikipedia. I need some information about commons, i.e.: i've got something like that: [[Image:Violin case.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Skrzypce w futerale|]] and i wanna link it to: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Violin_case.jpg/20…. What I need is the unknown part of url string: "/c/c0/", how could I establish it? I've been looking for any data quering wiki's database, but i don't see useful information, unfortunately. Thank you. Greets, Piter.

A slightly different feature request

by Steve Bennett

Hi, Maybe a project for future SoC's :) Basically, it would be handy to be able to perform image manipulation on the server. Libraries for this must exist already. Currently, there are a lot of fairly poor images, generally uploaded straight from people's digital cameras. To manipulate them, one must download, modify, then reupload - the last step being fairly fiddly. It would be very handy if even basic tools like cropping, rotating/straightening and increasing contrast were available, to allow one to quickly modify fairly large numbers of images. Any takers?

Performance issues with transformed messages ( {{ ) on skins

by Domas Mituzas

Hi, I already wrote about this issue here: http://mail.wikipedia.org/ pipermail/wikitech-l/2006-January/033518.html The problem - messages on default skin include project name, and the inclusion costs milliseconds. I didn't do proper profiling now, but it may consume up to 20% of time required to push out a simple page. The easy immediate cure for any site is to check that there're no transformations happening in these messages: mediawiki:aboutpage mediawiki:privacypage mediawiki:disclaimerpage mediawiki:aboutsite mediawiki:pagetitle As for mediawiki development, the urls may point to Project: (what would be rewritten into proper project namespace afterwards), or have $wgSitename used in Message files... Message transformations matter in many other cases, but those at least are not triggered on every page load. I guess this doesn't matter that much with Tim's new Skin rendering engine, but I can't tell now, :) Cheers, Domas -- http://dammit.lt/
