11 Jan '23

Hello, can someone to update list https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P10500 which contains repositories which haven't mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer. I found in list that much repositories are empty, and repositories which aren't available on Gerrit. So, can someone please update this list of repositories (in mediawiki/extensions) which haven't mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer, but at least, contains one PHP file. or to provide me command with which I can update list when I want, so I don't need to request it every time. Best regards, Zoran. P. S.: Happy weekend! :)

Wikimedia Enterprise HTML dumps available for public download
by Ariel Glenn WMF 02 Jan '22

02 Jan '22

I am pleased to announce that Wikimedia Enterprise's HTML dumps [1] for October 17-18th are available for public download; see https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/enterprise_html/ for more information. We expect to make updated versions of these files available around the 1st/2nd of the month and the 20th/21st of the month, following the cadence of the standard SQL/XML dumps. This is still an experimental service, so there may be hiccups from time to time. Please be patient and report issues as you find them. Thanks! Ariel "Dumps Wrangler" Glenn [1] See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Enterprise for much more about Wikimedia Enterprise and its API.

Microsoft Word to Wiki (via LibreOffice)
by Greg Rundlett (freephile) 18 Dec '21

18 Dec '21

Our users have found that using LibreOffice to convert MS Word documents to wikitext is the best approach to getting 'mostly there' when you want to create a wiki page from some MS Word document. In the past, I've created a headless LibreOffice setup to accept file uploads to give editors a conversion service. I don't have that setup available anymore. My question is: "Does anyone know of a service that *is* setup to use LibreOffice to convert MS Word to wikitext?" I searched the ToolHub to no avail. Thanks, Greg

Limit to the number of images in a page?
by Strainu 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Hi, I have some wikipages with a large number of images (1000+). Those pages never load completely, as upload.wikimedia.org starts returning 429 Too many requests after a while. This limit does not seem to be documented on mediawiki.org, so I would like to know what it the exact value and if there is a way to work around it (except for splitting the pages). Thanks, Strainu

Hello! I see that the Technical Decision Forum page now includes members in the "volunteers" section[0]. However, I don't see any records of the documented appointment process[1] taking place. How was Mark appointed? When will the documented proper process (or some other public process) be used to appoint community representatives?
