Hello,
Could someone tell the mathematical expression that would enable me to
calculate how many days new users are prevented from editing
semi-protected pages on the French Wikipedia ? The English Wikipedia
page [[Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy]] says "Very new" is currently
defined as four days", but that does not seem to be the case on the
French Wikipédia, as a 6 day long new user tells that she still can't edit
a semi-protected page.
Could we have a
{{NUMBEROFDAYSNEWUSERSCANTEDITSEMIPROTECTEDPAGES}}
magic word/variable so that we can know for sure how long this is, and tell
new users exactly how long they will have to wait ?

I sent this message to the list, but it never appeared, possibly because
I sent it from a second e-mail account I have and not the one I was
subscribed to this list with. I have changed my subscription to the
address this is coming from. This was my first message. Does it need to
be moderated?
Greetings,
Jmol is a molecular viewer which also contains an applet that can
display molecular structures in web pages. There is now an extension
that allows the use of this applet in wiki pages under MediaWiki. We are
very keen to allow this use in Wikipedia and I need a technical person
to assist. The ability to manipulate chemical structures in 3 dimensions
would greatly add to many chemistry pages on wikipedia.
The process is described in details in:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Using_Jmol_to_display_molecular_mode…
and links from that page. Basically a php extension script and various
Jmol files need to be installed in wikihome/extensions/Jmol/. Various
examples on the Jmol wiki are also linked from that page.
I discussed this with Tim Starling at a Melbourne Wikipedia meetup and
later by e-mail. This was before the extension was finalised (not by me,
but by User:NicoV on Meta) and before the latest stable release of Jmol
occurred. He seemed to think that a trial could be organised, but he now,
quite understandably, appears to be too busy to help.
Could someone please step forward and assist in getting a trial underway?
I'm happy to discuss this by e-mail or on wikipedia (I'm user Bduke
there). A knowledge of chemistry is not required.
Regards, Brian.

[[User:Bduke]] mainly on en:Wikipedia.
Also on fr: Wikipedia, Meta-Wiki, WikiNews, WikiBooks and Commons
He has a got a point. It could be nice to be able to include that
stuff in the META headers, by having the geolinks templates ( such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Coordinates_templates ) include
some wikitext like "{{GEOHEADER|long=151.21459|lat=-33.87531}}", where
"GEOHEADER" was a magic wiki word, that did a "-01234567890." sanity
check on the args (like RFC, ISBN, and PMID), and if it checked out
included the appropriate headers.
However, some devil's advocate questions come to mind:
* How used are these headers, really? Is it a niche thing?
* If it's niche thing currently, then why? Is the reason because it's
useless / a-solution-in-search-of-a-problem, or is it a niche thing
because nobody has put up a large corpus of useful data that uses it
yet?
* Are there standards that cover this stuff? Have those standards been
ratified / broadly agreed up / standardized / progressed beyond draft
status / reached consensus by some independent group / body /
organisation?
* Which of the format or formats are we talking about? For example,
from http://webtips.dan.info/titles.html , I see there are things like
this:
<META name="geo.position" content="26.367559;-80.12172">
<META name="geo.region" content="US-FL">
<META name="geo.placename" content="Boca Raton, FL">
<META name="ICBM" content="26.367559, -80.12172">
( see http://geotags.com/geo/geotags2.html and
http://geourl.org/add.html ; seems also to be some info about Flickr
tags on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoTagging about using yet
another method)
* Would it be just "ICBM" we're taking about, or just "geo.position",
or both? Because they seem to be doing exactly the same thing.
* What about "geo.region", and "geo.placename"?
All the best,
Nick.

Google have come up with this "Notebook"[1] tool which looks very much
like a wiki to me. It doesn't have all the features of your average wiki
but what's interesting is the user interface, the way "AJAX" is used to
allow inline WYSIWYG editing on the page. To edit a "note" you just
double click on it.
I mention this here because I've often thought that editing should
happen on the same page as viewing on wikis. That doesn't mean to say
that such an interface would be suitable for all uses of MediaWiki, but
for some of the projects I've used MediaWiki for it would be perfect.
Thoughts?

When I coded section editing, I tried different ways to present the
link; it was very hard to find something which works even with complex
table layouts. I would actually prefer a small icon to the "[edit]"
text (it could still have "[edit]" as an ALT attribute), but that has
the problem of not working well with different heading sizes.
Regarding the scroll-up problem, one way to deal with it at least for
advanced users would be to offer double-click editing on the section
level. You could then click anywhere within a section to edit it.

Dear Platonides,
this evening everything runs, after a ctrl-F5. Maybe a bug is hidden in my brain, rather than in Wikipedia... I cannot explain what happened, but probably it was something trivial.
Many thanks.
Sincerely yours,
Claudi

Anyone written an MS word/javascript macro to convert to/from MS word
format? I was just thinking it might be kind of cool to be able to pop
the code of the page out into word, where ==Level 2== would be
converted into the Heading 2 format and so forth. It might even be
able to embed images within the article.
Then, when you were finished editing, it could convert it all back again.
Stupid idea? :)
