Review statistics not working after FlaggedRevs update
by lampak 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

... or at least a few pieces of it don't. http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specjalna:Statystyki_oznaczania http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Markierungsstatistik As you can see, all the quantiles (or whatever it is) are displayed as zeros. Is it a temporary post-update issue or a bug in the new version of FlaggedRevs? Does it have something to do with the fact that on en.wiki the table is not displayed at all? Regards, lampak

About XML Dumps
by Angel Valdes 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about this dump files, and the kernel panic of the server occurred when I was downloading the last dump file(69.7%) of the spanish version. There is a remote chance that that download take the server down? I'm very worried cause that. -- Este mensaje le ha llegado mediante el servicio de correo electronico que ofrece Infomed para respaldar el cumplimiento de las misiones del Sistema Nacional de Salud.

But that extension's name sounds oddly familiar. Did it used to be enabled on wikimedia (en wikinews specifically) a long time ago? -bawolff

Pending Changes/Flagged Revisions update tomorrow
by Rob Lanphier 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hi everyone, We are currently planning to roll out a new version of the FlaggedRevs extension to all wikis on Tuesday, November 23 starting roughly 3:15pm PST (23:15 UTC). This is used for Pending Changes on en.wikipedia.org and Flagged Revisions on many other wikis (such as de.wikipedia.org and pl.wikipedia.org). The update sports a new reject button[1], some diff page load optimizations to help complicated diff pages load faster by displaying the diff prior to displaying the old revision[2], and many under-the-hood code improvements. We have several test environments in place with FlaggedRevs/Pending Changes configured: 1.16wmf4 core + trunk FlaggedRevs extension (this is the closest to what we plan for our production environment): * en.wikipedia.org: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/flaggedrevs/ * de.wikipedia.org: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/flaggedrevsde/ trunk core + trunk FlaggedRevs extension (this contains several changes that won’t be deployed for a while, in addition to the updated FlaggedRevs extension): * de.wikipedia.org: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/de.wikipedia.org/ * pl.wikipedia.org: http://prototype.wikimedia.org/pl.wikipedia.org/ Please let us know if you have any problems with this.

Special:CommunityHiring
by Steven Walling 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hi all, I'm aware that Special:CommunityHiring was built directly by WMF staff, but I was wondering if there was anyone else involved/aware of how it was built that could give me a rough spec on it? I'm considering building an equivalent but much simpler/shorter version for my own purposes and understand there's no documentation available. Thanks, Steven Walling

XML dumps stopped, possible fs/disk issues on dump server under investigation
by Ariel T. Glenn 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

We noticed a kernel panic message and stack trace in the logs on the server that servers XML dumps. The web server that provides access to these files is temporarily out of commission; we hope to have it back on line in 12 hours or less. Dumps themselves have been suspended while we investigate. I hope to have an update on this tomorrow as well. Ariel

Jimbo juxtaposed some dirty words
by jidanni＠jidanni.org 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Here just for fun is Jimbo coincidentally juxtaposed some dirty words: http://bug-attachment.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=7842 By the way, with only the above URL it seems extra hard for the common man to trace back to just what bug it was attached to! Tell me your method so I can include it in a bug report to the Bugzilla people.

Loading external libs with the RL
by Jeroen De Dauw 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hey, What is the recommended approach to loading external libraries (such as the Google Maps one) using the resource loader? I poked Roan about this a few weeks back, and got told that at that point there was no way of doing this yet. Is there one now, and if not, how to best add one? Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw http://blog.bn2vs.com Don't panic. Don't be evil. --

Invoking maintenance scripts return nothing at all
by Andrew Dunbar 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

I wish to do some MediaWiki hacking which uses the codebase, specifically the parser, but not the database or web server. I'm running on Windows XP on an offline machine with PHP installed but no MySql or web server. I've unarchived the source and grabbed a copy of somebody's LocalSettings.php but not attempted to to install MediaWiki beyond this. Obviously I don't expect to be able to do much, but when I try to run any of the maintenance scripts I get no output whatsoever, not even errors. I was hoping to let the error messages guide me as to what is essential, what needs to be stubbed, wrapped etc. Am I missing something obvious or do these scripts return no errors by design?
