Hi,
Does MW.org provide some relatively high level description of the
process flow / object interaction that is followed when rendering
mediawiki pages?
I've been searching mediawiki.org and the source tree from my mw
installation but so far I only found class-based 'local' information.
I am happy to contribute a more high level description, if that is not
yet available, but would much prefer to use (and if needed contribute
to) an existing description.
Do we have class models and process flow descriptions available somewhere?
I am most interested in the way Parser, ParserOutput, Skin and the
related classes interoperate, as well as how user extensions and hooks
are supposed to interact with the core mediawiki software.

Hi,
I want to revise permissions of Local wiki. But this problem bothers me.
For example，
in DefaultSetting.php, there is $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] =
true;
I want to revise in this way.
If(……)
{
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = false;
}
But the result is the value of $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] is
still true,it can not be revised under the condition.
Look forward to your reply.Thanks.
After the last batch of problems were fixed, enwiki was getting dumped
almost weekly. But there was no dump in December, and since it seems to
be held up dumping the full history with an ETA of Jan 22nd, it seems like
it will be at least a few more weeks.
So I wanted to check on what kind of schedule to expect. Is this a
temporary issue, so we can go back to frequent dumps again once this is
done? Or were the frequent dumps a temporary thing, and this is the norm?
Would it be difficult to run the current version & full history
concurrently on a separate schedule, to allow the current versions to be
dumped more frequently?
Thanks

The line between <cite></cite> anchors used to be highlighted in blue when
you clicked on the reference that went to them. Recently I've noticed this
no longer happens; you still go to the line, but it's not highlighted. The
highlighting was very useful for large reference sections, particularly
multi-column ones. Has a CSS class property changed? Has something else
happened?
Thanks,

Hi Wiki Devs,
First things first:
MW 1.13.2 (We're upgrading in the next couple months, managers are slow.)
PHP 5.2.8
MySQL 5.1.4
Windows Server 2003 & IIS 6.0 (client requirements)
I need to be able to create a temporary excel file from a report about what types of files are uploaded to my wiki. We wrote this extension and it worked until we got more serious about locking down our permissions in a good way. Now the excel creation still works for people with Admin rights, but not for our normal users who really want it.
The users can still upload files to the wiki, and since we are making the excel file in the images/tmp directory I assume there is a difference between how we put our new excel file in the images directory and how MediaWiki puts uploaded files in the wiki.
I've seen error messages in the past which seem to say that files are first uploaded to a temporary directory in the PHP folder and then the PHP user loads them to the wiki. This seemed like a way to go with the excel file, but when I began reading through the includes files that seemed to be involved in uploading a file I couldn't find specifically how it was done. Also, the wiki way to upload seems inextricably tied to creating an image page, which we don't want or need for this report generation.
Does anyone have any clues for me on either:
-how to start figuring out the wiki image upload code?
OR
-another way to get around Windows permissions and create this file for our users?
Thanks!

Speaking of file uploading, what's the status of uploading through the
API? Are all the features at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Uploading_files available
through Commons now? Does anyone know which bot libraries, if any,
have been updated to use the new features?
Apologies if this has already been discussed.

Hello,
I read the mails about RDFa and Microdata and idea came to my mind.
There is a technique called content negotiation and also LinkedData (see
[1])
Basically the Web server returns the content based on what the client
requested. For Wikipedia this would mean:
if the browser (it normally does) sends a request to Wikipedia with
"Accept: text/html" in its header the normal html view is returned (the
one we know)
else if some application would access Wikipedia and wants the metadata
it can send "Accept: application/rdf+xml" in the request header and
would get a 303 redirect.
Wikipedia already exists as RDF in DBpedia, so it could redirect for
example there, returning RDF of the page.
Example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leipzig with "Accept: text/html" shows the
normal page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leipzig with "Accept: application/rdf+xml"
redirects to http://dbpedia.org/data/Leipzig
(see here for a human friendly version in a browser at
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Leipzig )
This would be easy to implement and much less intrusive as writing
markup manually.
There is also a synchronized version of DBpedia (DBpedia-Live with a 5
minute update delay), which is still in Beta [2]
Regards,
Sebastian

More like "bowl you off your feet CV". That is a seriously potent resume.
But the real question, of course, is what trademark revert summary she's
going to bring... Move aside "rv x, totally broken", a new age has come to
MediaWiki! :-D
Welcome, Danese!
