How to put Googla Ad at the right side of the article?
by Lei Jiang 16 Mar '09

How to put Google Ad at the right side of the article? Besides, I only want to show Ad when the user is read the article, but don't want the ad to appear in the discussion, edit, and history page. Thanks! Lei Jiang __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3897 (20090228) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com

research-oriented toolserver?
by phoebe ayers 15 Mar '09

15 Mar '09

Hi all, I'm not sure exactly where to raise this, so am asking here. A researcher I have been in touch with has proposed starting a 2nd, research-oriented Wikimedia toolserver. He thinks his lab can pay for the hardware and would be willing to maintain it, if they could get help setting it up. He got this idea after a member of his research group tried (unsuccessfully so far -- no response) to get an account on the current toolserver; their Wikipedia-related research has been put on hold for a few months because of the delay. (It seems like there is a big backlog of account requests right now and only one person working on them?) This research group has done some interesting Wikipedia research to date and I expect they could do more with access to the right data. Personally, I think a dedicated toolserver is a great idea for the research community, but I know very little about the technical issues involved and/or whether this has been proposed before. Please comment, and I can pass on replies and put the researcher in touch with the tech team if it seems like a good idea. -- user: "first post on wikitech" phoebe -- * I use this address for lists; send personal messages to phoebe.ayers <at> gmail.com *

Special page access and render other lists
by David Di Biase 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Hi there, Two quick questions. I just created a new Wiki special page, setup the group extension files and all. The first issue I'm noticing is that on the extension page the name of the page is displaying as <bibliography> . I can't figure out why, because all the config files have the proper naming... The second question I have is...I need to write a script that iterates through all articles (or better yet articles attached to a specific category), sort through them, extract specific info and render it on my bibliography page. I can do the last part but I'm having trouble looking through the class list and supported hooks that will allow me to retrieve a list of articles. Does someone have code that does this already or can point me in the correct direction? Thanks! Dave

Can you upload them somewhere?

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Foundation-l] Proposed revised attribution language

Here's an idea: nice URLs for the history. So we don't end up with stupid things peppered with ? and & and = printed on mugs, travel guides, etc. e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/history/Xenu for the history of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu . Something to point at for CC-by-sa attribution is an actual reason to put this into MediaWiki. cc to wikitech-l - is this something suitable for Wikimedia use? Shall I file an enhancement bug?

browsing in phpmyadmin vs. charset
by jidanni＠jidanni.org 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Say one can successfully see the UTF-8 in an SQL dump with $ mysqldump --default-character-set=latin1 my_database | less OK, now how about browsing with phpmyadmin? no matter what I set, browser charset or various phpmyadmin choices, fields like 'ar_title varchar(255) latin1_bin' come out as mess. I just want to browse them, not change or 'injure' them. (That is the varchars, phpmyadmin won't let me browse the blobs.)

how to delete "Talk:Project_talk:Community Portal"?
by jidanni＠jidanni.org 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

What is the best way to delete a page with a name like "Talk:Project_talk:Community Portal": that even deleteBatch.php can't deal with, as you can see in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11487 Trying to browse it only gets as close as http://taizhongbus.jidanni.org/index.php?title=%E7%89%B9%E6%AE%8A%3ASearch&… However dumpBackup.php will show its contents. Anyway, what is the best way to delete it without damaging the database?
