Hi, Is there any way to display images uploaded into a particular category on Wikimedia Commons to be displayed in realtime on a WordPress site? Like a plugin that follows a particular category on commons and displays any images that are added to it? Kinda a feeder? Thanks Rexford | google.com/+Nkansahrexford | sent from Smartphone

Code review in mediawiki/skins/Vector and friends
by Bartosz Dziewoński 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

Hi all, I'd like to remind everyone that we now have WMF-deployed code in the mediawiki/skins/* repository group, most importantly in mediawiki/skins/Vector (but also MonoBook, Modern, CologneBlue). It seems that patches proposed and merged there are getting a lot less review (and fewer reviewers) than they used to while the skins were in core. Please update your review subscriptions :) There are at least two ways to subscribe to incoming changes: * Publicly at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Reviewers * Sneakily at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/settings/projects -- Matma Rex

Static functions usable in LocalSettings.php
by Seb35 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Hello, Sometimes in LocalSettings.php or in extensions settings one want to do simple computations on the namespaces or related to the Git branch in a development environment. Unfortunately this is not (resp. no more) really possible, because LocalSettings.php is loaded before GlobalFunctions.php and Setup.php. Is it a good practice to do that? If yes, is it possible to either: * "tag" some static functions in some classes to avoid these to include hooks and other global functions and variables (loaded later), and/or * move before (in loading order) some global functions and variables to make them usable (e.g. wfDebugLog, wfRunHooks, $wgCanonicalNamespaceNames) ? Details for namespaces: $wgCanonicalNamespaceNames is defined in Setup.php, making MWNamespace::getCanonicalNamespaces() and MWNamespace::getValidNamespaces() unusable in LocalSettings.php to e.g. compute namespaces where an extension could be enabled <https://github.com/mementoweb/mediawiki/pull/2>. Details for Git version: until two months it worked, but some wfDebugLog was introduced (defined in GlobalFunctions.php), making it unusable in LocalSettings.php. ~ Seb35 [^_^]

extra docs in beta & gadgets tab (was: superprotect; was: 'everyone who tries to speak for 'community' is <censored> and trying to blame it for own lack of interest')
by svetlana 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

in light of the recent conversation about superprotect and about what community could or should do to get things done specifically i'd like to see links to documentation on gadget & extension writing right inside of 'gadgets' and 'beta' tabs somewhere in big fat banner at the bottom of each of these tabs 'want to add your gadget/beta feature? _learn more_ & _get involved_, or _request an idea_' please give that a kick -- where? how? ... file a bug with betafeatures extension to modify its text, or can it be modified on-wiki ? ... edit relevant mediawiki:* page for gadgets for each project manually so that it includes a link to [[:mw:Gadget kitchen]] ?? ... structurise the gadgets place for it to become more useable as a directory ?? -- svetlana

Parsoid
by Aran 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Hello, I'm trying to install parsoid on Ubuntu 12. I installed nodejs from source, but when I try and install parsoid via apt-get it fails saying that it depends on nodejs (>= 0.8.0) even though node --version returns v0.10.31! Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Cheers, Aran
