The current version of the list is at the above API address. (I do not mean the access levels of the actual users) Thanks again, Illes

? earlier versions of user access levels + permissions
by Farkas, Illes 25 Mar '10

Hello, A short question about user access levels and permissions. Does anyone happen to know, if it is possible to download not the current version of the list of user access levels and permissions, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=usergro…, but a version of this list at a selected time, e.g., 2007-03-25T08:30:00Z ? Many thanks in advance, Illes -- http://hal.elte.hu/fij

strip trailing whitespace with a hook?
by Jack Bates 25 Mar '10

Can I use a hook to strip trailing whitespace from the ends of lines when a page is saved? In other words, between an author editing a page and the edited wiki text getting stored in the database, I want to strip trailing whitespace from the ends of lines Can I do it with a hook?

Hi, I created such an extension [1] to return to the exact rendering of a page at a given time. It is still experimental and need some other improvements, particularly to take into account the moves and deletions applied on a template. ~ Seb35 [^_^] [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BackwardsTimeTravel 2010/3/22 Liangent <liangent(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Besides template histories, can we add a parameter > 'index.php?action=view&time=xxx' to allow users to read as if they > read an article at that time, and append this parameter with the same > value to all (internal) links in the article? > In this way, we can have nostalgia wikis (like > http://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePage ) at any time. > > On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 4:13 AM, Trev <wikipedia(a)wavesculptor.com> wrote: >> Hi, See you see a fix that could be made for this "user issue" rather than "bug"? >> >> The fix required is: when rendering **history** states of pages, rendering contemporary history state of any {{transclusions}}, rather than latest state, as happens now.

Transclude contemporary template states to page hisories?
by Trev 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi, See you see a fix that could be made for this "user issue" rather than "bug"? The fix required is: when rendering **history** states of pages, rendering contemporary history state of any {{transclusions}}, rather than latest state, as happens now. This would make a lot of editors happier, and some less concerned about "banning" the use of inter-article transcludes. See below at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Transclusio…, and other links contained. Best, Trev M. == Transclusion History == See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Summary_style#Problems_with_par… this discussion] Sometimes editors involved in disputes want to see an article as it was a while ago, and then look at the changes made. If the article transcludes content from another article, they will see the old version of the article but the current version of the transcluded content, which is confusing.
