paper counter at lij.wikipedia.org
by Claudi Meneghin 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

Hello, the counter of articles at Ligurian wikipedia seems not to run properly: it shows some delay (not depending on the cache of the browser), and it counts only 33 papers, instead of about 45. Could you please take a look? Many thanks, Claudi --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail réinvente le mail ! Découvrez le nouveau Yahoo! Mail et son interface révolutionnaire.

Detecting deleted articles
by mdd4696＠gmail.com 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

Hi all, I'm generating a few lists of articles on the Toolserver, and I can't seem to figure out how to detect if an article has been deleted. I don't want to include those articles in my lists. Is there an easy way detect this? I did see the unused rev_deleted in the revision table, and I found a previous post in mediawiki-l (http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2006-April/011330.html), but it'd be nice to know how MediaWiki detects them... ~Mdd4696

Bad image list

The purpose of the bad image list as designed was to allow a few dodgy pictures to be specified and quietly suppressed upon parse actions. Leaving the fact that I don't support this behaviour in categories aside, I'm starting to think about whether or not we need to be storing this information elsewhere. A page with a bunch of regular expressions on it[1] that is evaluated in the manner the bad image list is...doesn't scale well if the administrators start adding several hundred/thousand odd images to it. It might be more effective to look at migrating this information to the database somewhere. As I see it, there's a few options springing to mind: 1. Add an extra column to the image metadata; treat it as a boolean value and use it to determine whether the image is bad 2. Add a whole new table for the purpose and introduce special pages to manipulate it 3. Similar to option two, but do it through an extension; don't make it part of the core code; expose the check via hooks in wfIsBadImage() Personal preferences lie with options two and three. We'd want logging for it, of course, but that is rather trivial. :) Anyway, just throwing out some thoughts, concerns and ideas... Rob Church

lot of blank pages and errors tonight
by Steve Summit 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

I've been getting quite a few blank pages and error messages this evening, which disappear immediately upon reload. (This is en.wiktionary, if it matters, not wikipedia.) I wonder if some number of the squid servers are indisposed?

Poem extension on Wikisource
by Brion Vibber 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

I've committed the Poem extension to SVN and activated it on Wikisource. Pretty straightforward, works like this: <poem> bla bla bla bla bla bla </poem> The inside text is wikitext, but line breaks and initial spaces are preserved. Output is wrapped in a <div class="poem">, so you can do global styling of poems per-wiki. Additionallly you can add other allowed HTML attributes on the <poem> tag just as you would for a <div> or <pre>, such as setting one-off custom styles or additional CSS class names. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
