Data dump of wiktionary doesn't seem to have any template pages.
by Apple Grew 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Hello everybody, I am new to this. I am currently trying to mirror en.Wiktionary.org on my computer so that I can browse it smoothly even on my slow college net and partly just for fun. I have installed MediaWiki (SVN 12apha). I have imported the pages.article.xml.bz2 data dump (http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiktionary/20080213/enwiktionary-20080213-p…). All is fine but it seems that it hardly contains any pages of Template namespace, hence I am getting the weird - Template:Shortcut, etc. thrown up every where. I have tried manually creating some pages and coping the code from the original site, but there are too many templates to be copied. Is there any more data dumps that actually has this data, or there is some alternative saner method? Pls help I am stuck. :( Regards, Apple Grew my blog @ http://applegrew.blogspot.com/

Preprocessor syntax in ABNF
by Tim Starling 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Just a fun little project for my Sunday afternoon: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Preprocessor_ABNF Turns out the production rules are pretty simple. The magic is in the disambiguation. An EBNF representation of the whole of MediaWiki wikitext, if such a thing is possible, would only go a small way towards specifying the language. -- Tim Starling

File related hooks
by Bryan Tong Minh 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

Hello, I have a question about where file related hooks should be defined. Currently, the FileUpload hook is defined in filerepo/LocalFile.php and UploadCompleted is defined in SpecialUpload.php. Is there a reason for this? I want to define new hooks FileDelete and FileDeletedCompleted. Should I follow the current practice and define them in filerepo/LocalFile.php and FileDeleteForm.php respectively? Bryan

User password and email issues
by Norman.Boyd＠showaaluminum.com 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

I have installed mediawiki on our intranet server. It works wonderfully!!! Thank you! Now, on to the problem. When I initially installed the wiki, users were receiving emails without any problems. Then, over time, the emails stopped. Now, I have a user that cannot remember her password and I cannot get her logged in. What can I do to fix either or box of the problems? Thank you Norman K.

Fallback behavior change per bug 13010
by Huji 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

I created a patch for bug 13010 with the help ialex provided over IRC. However, as I've mentioned on the bug, I'm not certain if we really are going to apply it. This will change the fallback behavior of the wiki software, and although Meno thinks this change is favorable and I agree with him, I think a more experienced developer should comment on it. Please advise Hojjat (aka Huji)

Single wiki multi language extensions
by MinuteElectron 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hello all, As part of a project I am embarking upon to provide a client\repository system for distribution and installation of MediaWiki extensions I am attempting to provide internationalized descriptions to users. One way to use this is to extract the data from extension i18n files, however it was suggested that using the wiki would allow many more users to contribute to the process. To implement such a function description messages would have to be synced between extension pages and the subversion repo and vice versa - this is the simple stage. Currently, however, there exists no unified way to provide content to users based upon interface language on Wikimedia wikis -- essential for implementation of such a feature. Therefore, I was wondering what the issue with the current multi-lang extensions are (e.g. [1] and [2]) and whether such issues still exist. Thank you, MinuteElectron.
