RE: [Wikitech-l] Bugzilla?
by Mark Christensen 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

One issue to consider how easy it will be for end users to report a bug. Bugzilla is far better than the wiki interface for tracking bugs, but wikipedians will already know how to use the wiki, and form that perspective Bugzilla will be more complex to use. Clearly bugzilla is not --that-- complex, so this is not a serious problem, but I think it is still worth mentioning. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jimmy Wales [mailto:jwales@bomis.com] > Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 11:12 AM > To: wikitech-l(a)nupedia.com > Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Bugzilla? > > > Sure, I'd consider it.

Bugzilla?
by kband＠www.llamacom.com 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

Jimbo: Would you consider installing bugzilla (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla/) on wikipedia to help us manage bugs/feature requests? The Wiki interface is pretty wretched for bug management. I'd certainly be happiest if everything was integrated (so that you wouldn't have to separately log into bugzilla...hm, maybe that could be done...that would be neat, if when you first create an account at Wikipedia, you could choose to join the wikipedia-l and/or wikitech-l lists...) but that certainly doesn't need to be a high priority. The installation looks pretty simple, especially since you already have perl and mysql all running. It would be of great help. If you do so, I promise to file the bugs on the current bug reports page. -tc

User's contributions minor edits bug
by kband＠www.llamacom.com 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

Contributions aren't listed if the most recent edit (not the only edit) made by the user is a minor edit. It would be great if this bug could be solved by having a configurable Contributions page, choosing to list minor edits, pages created, and/or pages edited. But that's a feature request, not bugfix. So why does SELECT old_title FROM old WHERE old_user_text=\"$theuser\" AND old_minor_edit<>\ 1 exclude *all* entries which have a minor edit? Maybe it needs to be SELECT DISTINCT old_title FROM old WHERE .... or perhaps SELECT old_title FROM old WHERE old_user_text="$theuser" GROUP BY old_title HAVING old_minor_edit<>1

SQL dump
by Magnus Manske 02 Mar '02

02 Mar '02

I just commited a "special_sqldump.php" file with a function that creates a SQL dump as a zipped file in the upload directory each time it is called. Runs about 21 sec on my system. I didn't link it from anywhere else yet, so you'll have to access the page through "...../wiki/special:sqldump". After it finished, you'll get a direct link to the file and a file size in KB. Please have a look. Magnus

Pages that link here...
by Lars Aronsson 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

I just noticed that the "pages that link here" on http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Belarus/History does not list http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Belarus which I think it should. Shouldn't it? I think this is how it used to work a few weeks ago. -- Lars Aronsson <lars(a)aronsson.se> tel +46-70-7891609 http://aronsson.se/ http://elektrosmog.nu/ http://susning.nu/

IP numbers on History pages?
by Axel Boldt 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Currently, we display full IP numbers on history pages. Is that a bug or a feature? Looking at the code in special_recentchangeslayout.php, l. 91-100, it appears that the full IP (including last 3 digits) was put in deliberately (or else I can't see the point of that code). Axel

"watch this article" for special: pages
by Jan Hidders 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Should there really be a link "watch this article for me" for pages in the special: namespace? This causes an error for the watch-page-links page, and I think the concept of putting a generated page in a watch-list is strange anyhow. -- Jan Hidders PS. I also saw a redirect to a special page from a conventional page. If that happens you see the special page with the coloring of a normal page. PPS. I think that the namespaces mentioned should always be just one: the talk: article, and it should not be called namespace but something like "discuss this article here".

Re: [Wikitech-l] orphans page takes too long (PS)

It just occurred to me that there is a problem because you probably by now have dropped the cur_linked_links and cur_unlinked_links columns, right? The script updLinks.php assumes they are still there and gets its information for the new tables from them. So just running it again won't work. No panic, the linking information is still there except we now need a different script because we need to get it out of the cur_text field. This is a bit of a problem because I really have to prepare some lessons for tomorrow. Any of the other programmers feel able to do this? -- Jan Hidders

Re: [Wikipedia-l] Allowing HTML for ruby text?

On second thought, I don't really need it because in this case, i.e., the presentation of search results, it is probably better to simply remove all HTML tags anyway. -- Jan Hidders
