Bug in URL spam filter
by Timwi 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Today I added a table with some figures to the article [[Cocoa]]. Here's the edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cocoa&diff=167748653&oldid=167579… Note how I added a URL to back up the numbers. It allowed me to make one more edit to the same section. After that, I couldn't edit the section anymore. Supposedly the URL that I just added is in the Spam blacklist. That is quite ridiculous seeing as I only just added it and it was accepted. I had to REMOVE A REFERENCE in order to SAVE AN EDIT. I think this is a rather severe problem because it means that users will be prevented (even more than they already are) either from providing sources or from editing out errors. The fact that it's a bug is further demonstrated by the fact that after I removed the URL with my next edit, it suddenly allowed me to add it straight back in. It should not have been necessary to remove it. Timwi

20071018 dumps have more problems. "United States" does not render.
by jmerkey＠wolfmountaingroup.com 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

The article "United States" and "Antarctica" (and lots of others) do not render on MediaWiki 1.9.3 release with the 20071018 dumps. I also have a test setup with MediaWiki 1.11 and the performance is very poor vs. 1.9.3. The errors are mysql timeouts and no useful output from the http logs. I will attempt debug next. Any ideas on what this could be? The page is: http://www.wikigadugi.org/wiki/United_States Dumps prior to September do not exhibit this breakage. Jeff

extracting .xml.bz2 files using MWDumper
by Osnat Etgar 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Thanks to all. I am now trying to download it again with a download tool Wish me luck :) I'm afraid I don't understand how to open these files. I downloaded a small .bz2 file, to see how it works. Just to make it clear, my goal is to get all the data from the dumps, to MySQL database. In mediawiki MWDumper page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MWDumper#Example_of_using_mwdumper_with_a_ direct_connection_to_MySQL_on_WindowsXP I tried to run the following commands: Set class=mwdumper.jar;mysql-connector-java-3.1.12/mysql-connector-java-3.1. 12-bin.jar set data="fullpath_to_myfile.xml.bz2" java -client -classpath %class% org.mediawiki.dumper.Dumper "-- output=mysql://127.0.0.1/myWikipediaDatabase?user=<myusername>&password= <mypassword>" "--format=sql:1.5" %data% [I bolded the variables I've replaced with my own] Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver at org.mediawiki.dumper.Dumper.connectMySql(Unknown Source) at org.mediawiki.dumper.Dumper.openOutputFile(Unknown Source) at org.mediawiki.dumper.Dumper.main(Unknown Source) I installed mysql-connector-java-5.0.4. What am I doing wrong? What is org.mediawiki.dumper.Dumper? Where do I get this file from? Am I supposed to have it after installing something? I tried to run java -server -classpath mysql-connector-java-3.1.11/mysql-connector-java-3.1.11-bin.jar:mwdumper .jar \ org.mediawiki.dumper.Dumper --output=mysql://127.0.0.1/testwiki?user=wiki\&password=wiki \ --format=sql:1.4 20051020_pages_articles.xml.bz2 I don't have a java server installed at the moment so I tried to run with out it. I got - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/mediawiki/dumper/Dumper Is this something to do with the server? If it's necessary I will install it, though I prefer not to. Thanks a lot Osnat _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail

Wikipedia dump
by Osnat Etgar 28 Oct '07

28 Oct '07

Hi, I don't know if this is the correct forum to be asking these questions. If not, please refer me to where I can. 1 - There seems to be a problem with the .bz2 dump file wikipedia provides. I tried to download it twice, and it aborted on an error after running for about 7 hours, at about 2GB. Does anyone know how I can know when the next dump will be available? Does wikipedia provide a new dump every so-and-so days? 2 - Is there anyone working with MVDumper.jar? 3 - Does the bump include ambiguous lists, categories and different types of lists? I have been trying to download it for two days, so I am curious to know what I'll find there. Thanks Osnat P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail

Upload limit

Now that we have proper support for video in MediaWiki, the upload limit of 20 MB is reached much more easily. Could this limit be increased? Bryan
