A blank wiki where only the article appears
by Leander Tal 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Hello, i need a blank wiki where only the text of the article appears for the viewer. No header, footer, navigation, interaction, search, toolbox, languages, or categories should appear. Only the admin, or logged in persons should have the standard navigation, and the ability to edit, and discuss the page. How to realize this request? Thanks, Leander Taler

raising the upload limit
by Graham Pearce 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

I'd like the upload limit to be raised to at least 40MB. I'd like to upload some free classical music from Pandora Music that is more than 20MB and cannot be split easily without a loss in quality. For example: http://music.ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/pandora/vorbis/chamber_orchestra/MA… http://music.ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/pandora/vorbis/piano/Goldstein/Vari… I am aware of the message in October 2007 to this list: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/htdig/wikitech-l/2007-October/034344.ht… Has much changed since then? Graham

Several of us at Wikipedia did some work on an interface for incorporating category intersections a while back. It can be found at shortcut [[WP:CI]] or full url: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Category_intersection --Samuel Wantman [[en:User:Sam]]

Add SPF to wikimedia.org
by Platonides 23 Apr '08

23 Apr '08

I'm seeing a number of spam bounces at OTRS, which means that some spammers are using the queue mails as source addresses, at least at the SMTP level. Restricting outgoing servers with SPF would protect servers using SPF from receiving that spam. Which IMHO is much more important than handling the backscatters :)

userOptions script failing - help!
by Andreas Rindler 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Hi, we are trying to change the default skin for all users using the userOptions script and we get an error. Any idea how to resolve the error or change the skin user option for users with another method? MW version: 1.11 Php: 5.1.6 Here is the command and the error: [openm@machine maintenance]$ php userOptions.php -cli skin --old monobook --new mike2 PHP Warning: array_shift() [<a href='function.array-shift'>function.array-shift</a>]: The argument should be an array in /chroot/home/openmeth/openmethodology.org/html/mike2/w/maintenance/commandLine.inc on line 39 PHP Warning: reset() [<a href='function.reset'>function.reset</a>]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /chroot/home/openmeth/openmethodology.org/html/mike2/w/maintenance/commandLine.inc on line 49 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.6 Content-type: text/html Thanks, Andi

Enabled! HttpOnly cookies and search suggestions
by Brion Vibber 21 Apr '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks to Werdna, Tim, and Robert for work on getting these things ready. :) Rather than repeat myself, lemme just link to my writeups: Support for HttpOnly cookies should provide an extra security barrier for session-stealing via XSS; the required PHP upgrades probably help too. ;) http://leuksman.com/log/2008/04/21/httponly-cookies/ And I've enabled the AJAX search suggestion drop-down, using the basic prefix matching: http://leuksman.com/log/2008/04/21/suggestion-search-drop-down/ I'm still a little worried that the search hits might cause extra load. So far I don't even see a blip on Ganglia, though. :) If things bog down while I'm away, turn off $wgEnableMWSuggest! - -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkgNO0kACgkQwRnhpk1wk44GmQCgozYkDf9gWZlpw0+O2MIOKh5f 0SQAoMXM+appFeeDQ0XPe9sslUphhoVa =l7/2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Language pack for MediaWiki
by Gerard Meijssen 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

Hoi, For the MediaWiki 1.12 stable release, Betawiki has issued a language pack. This language pack includes all the localisations that were added after the release of MediaWiki 1.12. Several languages have been substantially improved in the month and a half since the original release of MediaWiki 1.12. We now have 6.9% more messages ... The language pack is for the moment available here<http://translatewiki.net/mediawiki/>. We are looking how we can support your language better and make the best MediaWiki localisation available in an optimal way. As always, you are welcome to help support your language by localising at Betawiki. Thanks, GerardM

Recent change to Imagemap extension.
by Michael Daly 20 Apr '08

20 Apr '08

I've been looking at the imagemap extension and noticed the following change in Imagemap_body.php: was: line 74 - $imageHTML = $parser->makeImage( $imageTitle, $options ); now: line 70 - $imageHTML = $parser->makeImage( $imageTitle, $options ); line 71 - $parser->mOutput->addImage( $imageTitle->getDBkey() ); explanation in SVN: * Have ImageMap add images to parserout like parser does. Not doing so also causes FlaggedRevs to think the review metadata was incomplete. However, the added line is already present at: line 292 - # Register links line 293 - $parser->mOutput->addImage( $imageTitle->getDBkey() ); I can't see an obvious reason for the line to appear twice and it seems redundant. The change seems to have been made by Aaron. Can he or someone clarify - am I missing something? Mike
