[[Water]] images broken
by Steve Summit 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

The first two images on the [[Water]] page are broken. Experimentation reveals that they're only broken at their specifically-scaled sizes (280 and 150 px, respectively). So obviously it's a caching problem. What's that trick for forcing all a page's content to be explicitly regenerated? &action=flush or something?

page summary, formatted diff change region, etc.
by Chris Hecker 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

Hi, is there an existing way (or an extension) to generate a short well-formatted snipped around changes on a wiki page, or even just to take the top part of a page cleanly, kind of like "Today's featured article" does on wikipedia? That looks like it's edited by hand from the original article, which is understandable for its placement on the front page, but is there a way to do an automated version of that sort of thing without a human in the loop? Basically, I'm using the WikiFeeds extension on my site for rss/atom, and it's great, but it always includes the whole page in the feed. For changes that are major enough to put in the feed, but not an entirely new page, I would like to put some snippets in the feed, but I'd like them to be well-formatted in the sense that they look like a snippet from the page in its final state, or close to this at least. It seems non-trivial given the nested hierarchical structure of wikitext/html, so I figured I'd ask if anybody has done something like it already. Thanks, Chris Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Today%27s_featured_article/September…

tagging releases of extensions
by Evan Prodromou 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

So, I did a new version of the OpenID extension today, and I wanted to tag it in Subversion. I couldn't find a place where tags for extensions live, and I didn't feel comfortable adding something to the top level of tags. So, I added a tag here: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/OpenID/REL0_7_0 Wrong? Right? Better ideas? Is there anything that automatically reads the tags dir and will choke on this? -Evan -- Evan Prodromou <evan(a)prodromou.name>

Articles per category page
by Soo Reams 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Am I being exceptionally dim or is there no setting to control how many articles are shown on each page of a large category? 200 is pretty arbitrary and, in the case of my wiki, far too few. If there's no setting, I'd be happy to dig through the code and submit a patch to make it customisable, but I just want to check it's necessary before I bother. Soo Reams
