Can someone help me, please:
I need the $article object (the article page, where the LinkEnd hook is
called) inside
a function called by hook LinkEnd.
- because I want to modifiy some links in the hooked function,
but only on articles where the raw text contains some strings
in E:WikiArticleFeeds .
In case anyone is getting this error trying to update a
/trunk/extensions checkout:
svn: Unrecognised line ending style
The magic incantation to make it work again is:
rm -rf extensions/SideBarMenu
See r113253 and r113362.

Background and older discussions:

related is bug https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35121
"rename right-passwordreset to right-passwordreset-emailsent-capture-view"
Hello,
_/I want to propose a slight change in/_
*
Special:PasswordReset
*
similar to what I proposed last year in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/95596
which was then reverted in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/95618
because the change was not properly justified and discussed last year.
I now suggest these changes:
1. includes/specials/SpecialPasswordReset.php
class SpecialPasswordReset extends FormSpecialPage {
public function __construct() {
- parent::__construct( 'PasswordReset' );
+ parent::__construct( 'PasswordReset', *'special-passwordreset-access'* );
}
Because we already have "passwordreset" (right to view the password
reset mail when it was sent to user)
in order to avoid confusion I choose special-passwordreset-access
(this should be renamed as suggested in bug35121, not topic of this mail)
2. includes/DefaultSettings.php:
+ *$wgGroupPermissions['*']['**special-passwordreset-access**'] = true;*
3. languages/MessagesEn.php:
'right-passwordreset' => 'View password reset e-mails',
+ *'right-special-passwordreset-access**' => 'Can access
Special:PasswordReset',
*
Is it possible to reach a consensus about the new right so I can submit
such a change to core ?
I'll be available in #mediawiki now.

Hi.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29898 is about adding a user
preference for HTTP vs. HTTPS while a user is logged in.
I'd really like to see this bug resolved, as I regularly encounter HTTP
links and the lack of auto-redirection is becoming a larger and larger
usability problem for me. (I don't use HTTPS-Everywhere on my personal
computer.)
I have a few questions for this list:
* Does a user preference make sense here? I argued on that bug that adding
an intermediate user preference seems a bit silly (letting the user shoot
themselves in the foot), but it's apparently common to give the user a
choice (Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, etc. all allow a choice).
(This next question is for Wikimedia ops.)
* If a user preference is implemented and the default is set to HTTPS, is
the current infrastructure ready for the increased load? That is, if the
code were magically ready tomorrow, could HTTPS be immediately deployed as a
default for logged-in users without causing any problems?

As Ryan mentioned in an email to another list a couple weeks ago:
> Everyone with access to create svn accounts can also link them to Labs
> accounts. Feel free to make Labs accounts. Also feel free to add users
> to the bastion project, and to any other project you are a member of.
> Unless the user needs/wants Labs access, don't give them bastion or
> other project access by default, though.
It seems to me that the list of people who can make SVN accounts is
unclear to the average newbie --
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/System_administrators doesn't have me on
it. Is there a better list?
How to make a Labs account:

about to merge into https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Access .

Hi,
I am a 3rd year Engineering student from India, I have a few project ideas
for gsoc, one is regarding enhancement of the extension : CentralNotice.
Here is a brief outline of the new features suggested
- Enabling Editing of Banners
- Campaigns notifying only specific targeted users - For example,
Requesting Users with more than 100 edits in wikipedia but no activity in
last 3 months to continue contributing.
- Simpler UI-based Banner creation
(here<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-March/058765.html>is
a discussion regarding the same)
- More Statistics
- putting namespace specific notices
- Making the extension more usable with respect to needs of Wikimedia
and Non-Wikimedia needs
However I think many more such features can be added.I would request Ryan
Kaldari and Brion Vibber to give their feedback regarding this proposal.
I also request Srikanth, who suggested many features mentioned here to
comment if I have missed out any important features.

I've been trying to set up CentralAuth on a localhost test wiki, but I can't work out how to specify a wiki's database table name prefix.
My DB name is 'mediawiki_test3' and the table name prefix is 'mw'.
It was suggested to change the DB name to suffix a hyphen with the table name prefix, but it still goes looking for the same thing. ('mediawiki_test3.user')
I would've expected it to look for 'mediawiki_test3.mwuser' (what I want to happen) or 'mediawiki_test3-mw.user' (not interpreting mw as the table prefix), but it just seems to ignore what I added completely.
Anyone know how to do this?
