Ever more often, lately, I find my self logged out
of various WMF wikis. Right now, I googled some
names and when I click a link to sv.wikipedia,
I'm logged in, but when I click a link to en.wikipedia,
I'm not logged in there. Say what? Did sv.wikipedia
leave the SUL system? How is this possible?

Vinay from the Internet Archive asked me, with reference to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Recent_changes :

Vinay, #mediawiki on Freenode IRC, and possibly also the mediawiki-api
mailing list, will be helpful to you.
Thanks all.

"Surfacing" is a silly buzzword in business/technology these days.
It roughly means "bring up" or "make clear."
It makes me cringe whenever I see it.

It seems like a client-side bot-powered Semantic MediaWiki. If I
understand correctly it gather the data from across the website and
create its visual representations.

Percolate is a system of Python scripts and modules for working with
bot-updated templates, built by WMF's grantmaking department, but reusable.

Hello,
Can anyone recall work extracting these two files from enwiki-history?
(1) Each Page ID in namespace=0 -> Page name
(2) Same Page IDs + Each version ID -> List of linked page IDs
No perfectionsim, I'd like to solve this only.
For pages-current I used wikiprep years ago. I use perl daily.
Would be grateful for any advice :-)
Thanks!!

Hi,
I would like to announce that html irc logs, which were beta until now
are deprecated since now, and will not be continued - these html logs
are not raw txt irc logs, don't confuse them!
raw txt logs: http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs
html logs were at: http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/html
Raw txt logs are quite simple but reliable so we will continue
supporting them, despite there might be better alternatives to them,
but in addition to raw logs, new service is being developed as well.
Since now wm-bot is storing irc logs into mysql database as well (it's
globally accessible from wikimedia labs, poke me on irc if you wanted
to work with that, credentials were accidentally pushed to github
anyway :P). That will allow us to do some great things with them. One
of them is introduction of this site:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wm-bot/logs
Which allows you to render irc logs from any channel that is being
publicly logged (@logon command of wm-bot) and for now it allows you
to convert it into wiki-text as well.
This site is written in php (poor php) and is open source:
https://github.com/benapetr/wikimedia-bot/tree/master/public_html/logs
In future it should support:
* Search engine (indexed and fast)
* Some apis? - depends if people want them or not, in order to render
irc logs somehow else - on wiki maybe?
* Support for irc codes (color etc) as well as clickable url's
I hope this would improve your irc experience in wikimedia dev and
other channels :-)
Have fun
Hi,
there is now a demo that shows the rendering options of the MediaWiki
Math Extension:
http://math-test2.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:MathDebug?length=…
The demo compares the following rendering modes:
MW_MATH_SOURCE: The plain source as entered by the author.
MW_MATH_PNG: The tex output of texvc rendered with latex.
MW_MATH_LATEXML: Texvc output converted by LaTeXML to Presentation and
Content MathML
MW_MATH_MATHJAX: The texvc tex-output displayed by MathJax
MW_MATH_LATEXML_JAX: The MathML output (from LaTeXML) displayed by MathJax.
In contrast to the current stable Math Extension the demo version
checks all user input with texvc by the before it is passed to the
render.
Comments, feedback and questions are highly welcome.
Best
