Exactly. Using wgDbType outside of the database should
never be necessary.

What I think DJ Bauch meant was that conditional code in special pages
deciding which SQL to use based on $wgDBtype is a bad idea and has
been opposed. Adding a function to the Database class to form compound
queries has, to my knowledge, not been opposed.

I'm aware of the bug, I just didn't see any major reason
to do it. However, consistency is always good and this
is a pretty low-impact change.

I wasnt aware SVN had a rename option. Ill update the patch to include
renaming the files.
Probably the main reason to rename them is that in the maintenance
directory, the standard is .inc, whereas there are a few, but not many
with .inc.php as the extension
And there was a bug report submitted to fix it.

That should be a part of your patch, renaming the files.
If you renamed via svn, then it should be included in
your unified diff. Fwiw, is there any compelling reason
to change them all to .inc? The majority seem to be
.inc.php.

Hello,
I have been working on a patch for Bug 18698 which is where we have
inconsistent file naming standards being .inc and .inc.php
The patch I have created corrects the file naming to .inc in the
affected files. Once it has been reviewed and after that, is there some
form of procedure or process that exists to have files renamed?
Regards

I'm sure that it's written somewhere on Mediawiki.org or on meta, but I
can't get hold of the information right now. Can somebody help me?
Thanks,

Two separate sites indicate potential sources of torrents for *.tar.gz
downloads of the en wikipedia database material :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_database and
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps#What_about_bittorrent.3F
(so far).
Is it possible for anyone to indicate more comprehensive lists of
torrents/trackers than these? Are there any plans for all the
database download files to be available in this way (I imagine that
there would also be some PDF manual which would go along with these to
indicate offline viewing, and potentially more info than this).

Hi!
I'm trying to build dumps similar to those on static.wikipedia.org (I
want to create dumps for an offline wikipedia on mobile linux devices).
It seems that the dumps are in some way incomplete. Because it is a
small wikipedia that I can understand, I first tried als.wikipedia.org.
The problem is that some image description pages seem to be missing. For
example:
On the page http://als.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%BCrenlos, the picture
http://als.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Wuerenlos_AG.jpg is used. When I
search the xml dump, I can find the reference, but not the image page
itself, whereas other image pages do exist.
Can someone explain this issue to me?
Kind regards,
Christian Reitwießner
