Line Numbering...
by Mohamed Magdy 25 Apr '07

What do you think of adding line numbering to mw? I mean, when you open an article, you find line numbers on the left (ltr) or at the right (rtl) ....

maxlag parameter for bots
by Tim Starling 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

I've implemented a "maxlag" parameter to index.php which can be used by bots to voluntarily throttle their write rate and mitigate slave lag on the server. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maxlag_parameter It came out of the discussion here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bot_owners%27_noticeboard#Maxlag_par… Permalink: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bot_owners%27_noticeboa… -- Tim Starling

Upgrading from 1.3.5, 1.4.x to current versions
by George Herbert 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

I have just arrived at a new client site and was handed a pile of MediaWiki wikis, running varied versions from 1.3.5+enotif v1.2, 1.4.0, 1.4.4, and 1.4.7 (I think that's all of them). I'm looking at an upgrade to current (1.9.3, 1.10 if it comes out in timeframe) versions. I've done some version upgrades before, but never from such old versions. What risks, known gotchas, or issues am I facing here? Should this be expected to work cleanly, do I have a major problem, somewhere in between? Thanks. -- -george william herbert george.herbert(a)gmail.com

Bad title errors with non-special special characters
by Tony 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

On MediaWiki 1.9.3 we are getting "bad title" errors if almost any punctuation mark is included in the title. Examples include the single quote ' and ordinary brackets ( and ) - i.e., "normal" special characters, not weird stuff like # and & and + (which is in any case not required in our case). Copying $wgLegalTitleChars from DefaultSettings.php to LocalSettings.php makes no difference; not have any of the variations on this I have tried. I have run out of ideas to try, can anyone suggest a fix - it's driving my users nuts. Thankyou in advance

Re: [Wikitech-l] [MediaWiki-CVS] SVN: [21503] trunk/extensions/LinkSearch

Now it > supports MiserMode to make Domas happy :-) I don't like the changed user interface in this version. The drop-down box for protocols means you can't just cut-and-paste a link, making it *much* harder to use. There's really no need for LinkSearch to know or care about what protocols are used and recorded at the parser end; anything that doesn't get stored just won't match. I would strongly recommend returning to the previous state, where you paste in a full URL, and a missing protocol will fill in with assumed 'http://'. - -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGLSWuwRnhpk1wk44RAvrSAKCrtVwsB+fNnNaGJdRx4JYGe0kByACgk7fT UuJJTpN5ysjr66b58xfsWUY= =qZ+R -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Exporting pages; getting one sublevel automatically
by Claudi Meneghin 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

Hello, is there any way, please, to get automatically all the pages included within a category by means of special:export? That is to say, could I list Catégorie: Naissance in 1000 Catégorie: Naissance in 1001 Catégorie: Naissance in 1002 Catégorie: Naissance in 1003 etc. at French wikipedia and get (without listing explicitely) every article in those categories? This would allow to save a lot of work and time. Thank you, Claudi --------------------------------- Découvrez une nouvelle façon d'obtenir des réponses à toutes vos questions !

Wikimedia Server Statistics
by Edward Z. Yang 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey, I was wondering if there were any statistics breakdowns (or any plans to make them) for Wikimedia servers for things like browsers? I remember seeing this pop up a while back on the lists, it looks like the more in-depth statistics charts are down (not talking about the requests/hits ones). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGLVXYqTO+fYacSNoRAt96AJ46rlX/FmLvm4oGXJTJQJngY28SgACcD2dx 00awJXxUWCbXKDLTTdyr450= =9BEo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
