I made a small little extension to whitelist a namespace - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Whitelist_Namespaces Perhaps it might be useful to you. Cheers, Bawolff

Description of process flow available?
by Jean-Marc van Leerdam 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

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. -- Regards, Jean-Marc -- . ___ . @@ // \\ "De Chelonian Mobile" .

Revise Permissions of Local wiki problem
by 李琴 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

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.

enwiki database dump schedule
by Steve Sanbeg 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

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 -Steve

CSS class property changed?
by jayjg 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

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, Jayjg

checking understanding of file uploading
by Christensen, Courtney 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

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!

uploading with the API
by Ryan Kaldari 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

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. Ryan Kaldari
