I'm getting a lot of disconnects and server site outage errors on
en.wp right now. What's up?
Thanks...

Whenever I save a page from Wikipedia, or any other MW site, using
Firefox, the resulting HTML loses its screen stylesheet. This seems to
be due to the way we are embedding the stylesheet, i.e.:
<style type="text/css" media="screen,projection">/*<![CDATA[*/ @import
"/skins-1.5/monobook/main.css?61"; /*]]>*/</style>
This appears to cause Firefox to not treat the stylesheet as part of
the page it needs to retrieve. Is there a way to avoid this behavior,
either on the client or on the server side?

No kidding. On my radio scanning wiki, categories (frequencies) are to
be populated, but contain no text. Alas one must jump through hoops (
http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/index.php?title=Template:C ) to not
have the obligatory edit box thrust in the users' face.
And the obligatory edit boxes on empty help messages just get filled
with users' comments.
Maybe someone can make a better bug out of my bug carcasses:
[Bug 7347] Add __NOCATEGORIES__ just like __NOTOC__
[Bug 7897] allow stopping needless editing of categories
[Bug 8060] __NO_CATEGORY_LIST_AT_END__
[Bug 8810] "You have to log in to edit pages" 1-2 punch
[Bug 8810] List all errors when user is forbidden from editing a page
[Bug 8812] Special:Categories red links vs. $wgGroupPermissions
[Bug 8813] Documentation of $wgGroupPermissions is poor

Are if/then statements enabled for use in templates in the latest
version of MediaWiki, as they are in Wikipedia? It's getting to become
a bit of a chore having tons of empty fields in my At a Glance lists,
and I'm wondering if it's worth going through the hassle of having my
MySQL databases updated so I can run the latest version of MediaWiki.

A machine generated thesaurus constructed from interwiki and wiki links
and tags contained in the XML dumps has been posted at
ftp://ftp.wikigadugi.org/wiki/thesaurus.
This build analyzes the 20070206 enwiki dumps and contructs a thesaurus
based upon relationships between wiki links and
interwiki links contained within the XML dumps. Included are raw files
of links, lexicon, and XML dump created based
upon the embedded Thesaurus inside of Wikipedia.
Text file of stripped links and interwiki links with tags:
ftp://www.wikigadugi.org/wiki/thesaurus/wikipedia-thesaurus-20070206.links.…
Machine generated text lexicon of stripped links and interwiki links:
ftp://www.wikigadugi.org/wiki/thesaurus/wikipedia-thesaurus-20070206.lex.bz2
Machine Generated XML MediaWiki dump which can be imported as a basic
Thesaurus has a few title problems, I will finish it
up in the morning and post to the thesarus area.

It would be really nice if wikipedias Special:random-function could take
arguments, making it possible to get a random article from user-specified
categories.
A suggestion to do this is as follows. When a user click on the "random
article" link the random article is loaded with a comment on the top of the
page saying something like "you requested a random article. click here to
view options" and so the the user can mark which categories the article
should come from. The settings can either be stored in a cookie or they can
be sent in the URI.
Everyone would love this feature!
regards,
Manne Tallmarken

I recall a month or so back that when I first reported the problem with
SVVG files being detected as "text/rtf" and other errors
a fix was posted somewhere in the trunk for MediaWiki 1.9.3. Can
someone point me to the link to the fix? The "file -bi" command
also has inaccurate return values detecting SVG images, so there is
still not a correct fix. I have noted that SVG images appear
to render propperly now provided they are detected correctly.
Please advise,
Jeff
