Hello. Now that ISO 639-3 has the entry "nan" for Min Nan,
is it possible please to add an alias "nan:" for
"zh-min-nan:"? Cheers.

Domas disabled it in "miser mode" for performance reasons.
The search is particularly useful on Commons to find, for example, all
the latest SVGs or OGGs that have been uploaded. What exactly is it
that makes it so slow? Could it be reactivated at least on Commons, or
for certain predefined searches?

Two or three times during the past few minutes I've gotten an
apache-style 404 message:

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while
trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Sumpin wrong with the squids?
Hi!
Could you tell me, where can the localisation of special pages be done or
how?
For example in dewiki [[Spezial:Zuf%C3%A4llige_Seite]] works the same way as
[[Special:Random]].
I remember, there was a page where one could translate the titles of the
special pages, have those translations been implemented?
Do the special pages in huwik have a localised name?
Thank you for your answers
Regards,
Bence Damokos

Hi fellow wiki-admins,
We all gotta start someplace ... here's where I'm at now:
I presume there's something painfully simple I'm missing, but I can't
for the life of me find a reference anywhere simply on how to
setup-and-configure a wiki!
For example, all I wanna do is:
1 - Sign in as admin. Is that so hard? How do I sign in as admin?
2 - Make others sign-in as lesser-editors and contributors. I need to
see how hierarchies of user-capabilities work before I go live.
3 - Lock parts of article contents so users can add to them but not
delete the locked part, admins can change anything.
4 - Change/customize a few visual things, like the sidebar.
Now, I'm not askin' you all to answer my detailed questions above
(unless you want to!).
I'm asking if anyone knows of a reference where I can look up these
kinds of (must be) precedented things. Does anyone have any leads on a
BASIC (as in "initial") MediaWiki setup-and-configure instruction
manual?
Thank you so much (conversations so far have been ... interesting - I
can't wait to understand what you're all talking about and see how you
respond here!).

Dear Wikitechnicians,
My name is Reid Priedhorsky, and I'm a Ph.D. student at GroupLens
Research, which is the human-computer interaction group at the
University of Minnesota.
We are currently working on some research which is investigating
Wikipedia contribution and vandalism. To this end, statistics on the
view rate of different articles would be extremely helpful to us --
something along the lines of Leon Weber's WikiCharts tool, but with a
larger limit (ideally all 1.7 million articles).
It seems to me that the easiest way to accomplish this would be to get
copies of your sampled Squid logs (as described on
<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2007-January/029000.html>
and its links). We do not need the client IP or any other similarly
sensitive data, though if you gave it to us we would protect it
carefully as we protect the other sensitive research data we handle.
Would it be possible for us to have access to these log files?
If not, I would love to begin a discussion on what it would be possible
for us to access.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you have
any questions.
Thanks,
Reid
