Autopromotion and revoking
by ChrisiPK 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi everyone, there is a discussion going on on Commons about a rollback policy. This involves deciding how users should be given this permission. We have been discussing autopromotion, but Andrew told us on IRC that he thinks it's not possible to revoke autopromoted rights. Revoking rollback permission is very important to take care of edit-warring/mass-rollbacking troublemakers, so we don't want to surrender this possibility. Can anyone comment on this, is it effectively impossible to revoke automatically given rights? Thanks and best regards, ChrisiPK

How to calculate word count in an article according to contributors?
by Lei Jiang 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Is there a way to calculate word count in an article according to contributors? For example: an article is written by three authors A, B, C. The total word count of this article is 100 words. A write 60 word, B write 30 word, C write 10 words. After the article is stable and no more editing, is there any method that could list the word count for each author automatically? Thanks!

no less than [[{{#Special:Specialpages}}|{{ns:special}}:{{int:specialpages}}]] needed

I can't believe in 1.14 that you have now removed the ability for zh-tw users to make links to e.g., Special Pages using their zh-tw characters. To link to e.g., [[Special:Specialpages]], [[特殊:特殊頁面]] can no longer be used, as now only this [[特殊:特殊页面]] simplified Chinese link works. The problem is, there is hardly anyone in the country (Taiwan) who has the software configuration, any interest, nor often knowledge of even how to read some simplified characters. Sure, on the surface all is zh-tw, but the links are all loaded with Simplified Chinese: $ for i in --dump --source; do lynx $i http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/| iconv -f utf8 -t big5|wc -l; done 119 iconv: illegal input sequence at position 5412 79 So now all one can use is [[{{#Special:Specialpages}}|{{ns:special}}:{{int:specialpages}}]] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17681 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17680 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17712

Re: [Wikitech-l] HTTP redirects preserving "redirected from" line (was: http://en.wikipedia.org/ --> 301 Moved Permanently)

How so? Does the "redirected from" notice not appear at all, or does the wrong one appear? I can imagine that there would be some cases that would get messed up no matter what (e.g., loading the same page twice from two different redirects at once), but I should think most cases could be made to work properly.
