Currently, the parser behavior for lists is something like this:
* Item 1
* Item 2
Converts to:
<ul><li>Item 1
</li><li>Item 2
</li></ul>
While:
* Item 1
* Item 2?
Converts to:
<ul><li>Item 1
</li></ul><ul><li>Item 2
</li></ul>
I see the second syntax far too often in wikitext, usually because
improves readability by spacing of long list items. The second case, is,
however, semantically incorrect.
I would like to throw out a suggestion to make the second case have the
same result as the first case, and ask for some feedback, before I file
a Bugzilla bug.
This is related to http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8318 ,
although I think this is a specific subset of the issue.

Hi everyone,
as a multilingual user of Wikipedia, I am always looking for new ways of
using and accessing the content from different language wikis. I am
Norwegian, but I read Chinese and I have several friends who often edit
there. Whoever, if I want to look up an article in Chinese Wikipedia, it's a
hassle since I don't necessarily know how they write "Oslo" or "Plato" in
Chinese... so I did this little tool
http://70.47.70.10/redir/en/zh/Oslo
it will automatically git you the page in Chinese Wikipedia that is
interlinked from the article about Oslo in the English Wikipedia. (This
works for all language combinations - given that there are interwiki links -
and all articles. Use _ instead of spaces).
http://70.47.70.10/redir/no/ar/Demokrati
it only downloads the first article, does a quick regexp, and forwards to
the second article. I have posted about this on the Norwegian and Indonesian
community pages. Not sure what is the place to list this tool on the English
wiki / Mediawiki?
--
Another thing that has struck me is that being able to read several
languages, I often don't really mind that much which wiki a certain article
comes from - but I would like to read the longest or most complete article
on a given topic. However in practice I find myself often "constrained" to
the English wikipedia because that is generally the best, or the Indonesian
if I am reading on Indonesian topics etc.
so this url
http://70.47.70.10/bigger/en/no,sv,id,ms/Poland
will automatically redirect you to whatever of the articles in no, sv, id or
ms that is _longer_ (pure bytesize, not very scientific but still) of the
articles linkes from the English Poland page.
This is insanely useful (it's mainly meant to be a Firefox bookmark - plug
in the languages you are comfortable reading in, call it big, and whenever
you want an article type big Television, and you will get the longest
article in one of the languages you know).
However - right now what it's doing is downloading a full page from each of
the Wikipedias, to find the size. So in the above example, it would download
five full pages, before redirecting the user to one of them (causing it to
be downloaded again)... I'm obviously not happy about wasting Wikipedia
bandwidth, so I wonder if there is a better way of doing this - getting just
the size of any given page... I will not post this online anywhere else,
until I have some guidance from this list.
Both are written in respectively 20 and 43 lines of Ruby CGI code btw. I can
post the code if anyone wants it.

== Still looking for an accurate, contemporaneous "MediaWiki
Installation Manual" ==
Peter Blaise says: I cannot seem to successfully contribute to
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Contents/To_do or other
MediaWiki.org pages. So, I created one here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Peterblaise ... if I can only
successfully log in more than once!
I look forward to anyone else trying to document the various roads to
success implementing MediaWikis. As of 2007-05-18 there is no
discussion on MediaWiki yet at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Contents/To_do ?!?
There is much fragmentation:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Installationhttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Manualhttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Contents
... and so on. No one has taken ownership (I know, ownership is a Wiki
no-no) of structuring a comprehensive Installation manual. And since I
can't seem to contribute anywhere else on MediaWiki.org except at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Peterblaise then I can't lend a hand.
Even at the old http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents I quote":
"For Installers ... nothing yet?"
Sadly, I was officially unwelcomed here (speaking of ownership) once
before, but I'll try again.
As I experience it:
- The beauty of MediaWiki is that everyone can contribute (except me!).
- The problems with MediaWiki.org are that almost no one actually does
contribute, and when they do, it so horribly disorganized that it
doesn't matter much.
However, I suggest that people NOT respond to me here.
Instead, if you think you *know* some answers, then first *try to find
those answers at http://www.mediawiki.org/* ... and:
- If you do find answers at MediaWiki,org, then reply here with *links*.
- If you cannot find answers on MediaWiki.org, then *create answers
there*, and then reply here with links.
Thanks!
I'm trying to put everything I have to offer on MediaWiki.org - please
join me.
Here goes for today, Friday, May 18, 2007 (how long has this been going
on? April 6, 2007 was my first post here, and February 7, 2007 was when
I "officially" started searching elsewhere for this very same help):
My Struggle #1: prototype, building an intranet-sharable Wiki that does
not require admin privileges on my local primary workstation. Cornelius
Herzog's "Wiki on WOS" (Webserver On a usb Stick) from
http://www.chsoftware.net/ works. However, it requires that I permit
each visitor access by a manually entered list of internal-IP address.
This is arduous and requires that I be here for newbies to achieve their
initial success. This dampens their enthusiasm to stay with the Wiki
learning curve.
My struggle #2: alpha/beta, building an intranet-sharable Wiki WITH
admin privileges on my remote secondary workstation. I have yet to get
ANY MediaWiki system working at all. I have yet to find a resource that
clearly and concisely lists the linking steps and confirmation checks
between MSWinXPPro, Apache, PHP, MySQL, and MediaWiki. (The book
"MediaWiki Administrators' Tutorial Guide: Install, manage, and
customize your MediaWiki installation" by Mizanur Rahman, 2007
http://www.packtpub.com/ says, page 19, "Since this book is about
MediaWiki, we are not going to learn about the installation of a web
server, database server, or even PHP." Well, all right, then! So much
for fulfilling their own title! Thanks!)
My dream struggle #3: build multiple Wikis on one computer that share
the same database, and also build multiple Wikis on one computer that do
not share the same database.
If anyone has links to resources supporting resolutions to these
struggles, please share! I've read most of the ones in Google's top
search results and find they are missing specific linking steps and
confirmation checks, and are usually out of date (MySQL 4 and PHP 4 and
MediaWiki 1.3, for instance).
Here are some http://www.Google.com/ searches and results:
Search Terms:
[install mediawiki apache php mysql win xp winxp windows xp phpmyadmin]
... and so on.

... and so on for ~1,100,000 others.
... NONE of which are contemporaneous, complete, accurate, nor do they
include linking steps and confirmation checks for the entire suite of
OS/WS/DB/PI/WP/E&E. Don'tcha love abbreviations? Anyway, these generic
terms might help structure a "manual", as there are choices at each step
(too many choices is perhaps why no one has built a manual yet!):
OS = *Operating System* - Linux, Windows ...
WS = *Web Server* - Apache, MS/IIS ...
DB = *DataBase* - MySQL, PostgreSQL ...
PI = *Program Interpreter* - PHP ...
WP = *Wiki Programming* - MediaWiki ... are there others? ;-)
E&E = *Extensions and Enhancements* - FCKEditor, PHPMyAdmin ...
I'll contribute what I have, but I have scant little success because no
one else seems willing to return to MediaWiki.org or anywhere with their
notes while on the way to their own success, and I can't contribute to
MediaWiki.org anywhere but my
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Peterblaise page (there's that
ownership issue again!)!
HELP!
