MediaWiki to Latex Converter
by Hugo Vincent 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi everyone, I recently set up a MediaWiki (http://server.bluewatersys.com/w90n740/) and I need to extra the content from it and convert it into LaTeX syntax for printed documentation. I have googled for a suitable OSS solution but nothing was apparent. I would prefer a script written in Python, but any recommendations would be very welcome. Do you know of anything suitable? Kind Regards, Hugo Vincent, Bluewater Systems.

10k

Hi, today we came over 10k HTTP requests per second (even with inter-squid traffic eliminated). Especially thanks to Mark and Tim, who've been improving our caching, as well as doing lots of other work, and achieved incredible results (while I was slacking). Really, thanks! Domas

Rating Articles Extension
by Travis Derouin 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Hey, I've put together an extension for rating articles if anyone is interested. It's just a first version and hasn't been tested much, but the details can be found here: http://www.wikihow.com/WikiHow:RateArticle-Extension You can see an example here on our development server: http://wiki16.wikidiy.com/Get-a-Better-Deal-on-a-Home-Loan (username password wikihow / wikihow2006) - scroll down to the bottom of the page for the checkmarks. I'd appreciate feedback if anyone has any. If someone wants to add this to extensions in svn, that'd be great. Thanks, Travis

Hello, As you might or might not know, the Commons Picture of the Year 2006 [1] is running. We have also made an archive [2], which we want to be available as a zip download. This archive contains all Featured Pictures of 2006 and their licensing and description. This archive is 550 MB big. Would it be possible to have it hosted on download.wikimedia.org? Thanks, Bryan [[:commons:User:Bryan]] [1] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture of the Year/2006 [2] http://tools.wikimedia.de/~bryan/poty

Bad UTF-8
by Gregory Maxwell 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

One problem I seem to run into over and over again while working with data from our projects is invalid UTF-8 sequences that litter our output. I could go on about how doing this is a horrible offense against man, but my main concern is to simply get around these issues in my own code. Does anyone have a document describing places where we're known to emit malformed unicode? Tonight I encountered it in the file history output for a query.php request. http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/query.php?what=categories|templates|links|pe… You can see it on the site proper at: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:00022279.jpg&action=hi… Simply striping the bad characters on the serialized output frightens me because I worry that eventually I'll strip an adjacent delimiter and make the output unparsable. It would at least be useful to know all the places I could expect to find junk like this. :)

Ajax Search

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, is there any reason why wfSajaxSearch is casesensitive and limited to namespace 0? I just wondered if I can get this nifty feature to show me the same results as the normal search without hacking core-code or using runkit functions to redefine wfSajaxSearch? Kind regards, Benedikt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) iD8DBQFF4x/NX96C8k2LhU8RAr5KAJsGwVG5sgJ6dQ2kLqtLQglJKFNjnACeJuQM CyFGdjytERT5YEKYbeSdQc0= =Olce -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

MediaWiki 1.9.3 wgLogo renders improperly
by Jeff V. Merkey 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Please check and try to create an account on one of the two sites setup with 1.9.3 http://chr.wikigadugi.org http://en.wikigadugi.org Even though $wgLogo is setup correctly, the images fail to render on the default page with no user logged in. When you switch to a login panel or some other panel other than main display, the images then show up properly. They disappear completely when either logged out or when sitting on a main page for editing. Jeff
