Math syntax
by John Andrewartha 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi, Thanks for your support. Having overcome the difficulties getting math to work, my thanks to the community. I am using MW1.9.3 on FreeBSD and am having some trouble the syntax for <math>\,</math>. I have read and experimented with the basics as per meta.mediawiki.org and mostly failed to produce anything but errors. Syntax. Is there a source of current (MW1.9.3) syntax for the math package ? Regards John

Thumbnails still largely broken
by Timwi 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries More than half of the flags are broken images. This is the same bug that I've reported millions of times before. People keep suggesting to use action=purge to convince the server to regenerate the image file. Well great, except doing that for all the broken flags on this page is beyond tedious. And besides, how is a casual reader supposed to do this. This needs fixing quite urgently, especially seeing as it's been around for so long. Timwi

WTF? > -* Do not present an image bigger than the source, for bitmap-style images As explained on IRC I thought it was a bug, not a feature, sorry again. But I am still unsure for <gallery>s: [[Image:SmallIcon25pixel.jpg|200px]] blows the small image up. -> feature [[Image:SmallIcon25pixel.jpg|thumb]] or [[image:SmallIcon25pixel.jpg|thumb|300px]] does not blow up. -> feature <gallery> Image:SmallIcon25pixel.jpg </galler> blows icon up to standard gallery width. -> bug or feature?

OGG files with 'frame' image syntax
by Brianna Laugher 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi, I did a quick test of what audio files look like when used inline, with the new OGG Handler extension: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Sandbox&oldid=7564729 It appears that the 'frame' keyword doesn't cause the new player to appear. I doubt that frame is used very much, but since the old behaviour is next to useless, I suggest that it get the upgrade as well. Also, [[image:foo.ogg|caption]] now seems to have no material difference to [[image:foo.ogg]]. (Maybe the caption could appear next to the "i" graphic?) Another minor thing is that when the "thumb" keyword is used, the "i" graphic is centred, whereas otherwise it is left aligned. thanks, Brianna -- They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment: http://modernthings.org/

What do you think about the following method: 1. Define an array per language in /languages/localNames/localNamesXx.php In a similar way the native language names are definded in Names.php 2. Read this array in /languages/messages/messagesXx.php: require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/languages/localNames/localNamesXx.php' ) ; Benefits from this method should be: 1. No hojillion wfMsg() calls ;-) 2. localNamesXx.php could be created/updated by a script from a source like http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/charts/summary/en.html (Idea by Nikerabbit, thanks :) Raymond.
