Thanks Jason! I informed the German Wikipedians and hope they'll start
playing around with it soon.
I wrote down some bugs I found on
http://test-de.wikipedia.com/wiki/wikipedia:Beobachtete+Fehler
But that's in German, and I don't know anybody else but Magnus will
understand it. So shell I post a (bad) translated report to wikitech-l
from time to time?
* The search for words with umlauts doesn't seem to work. The script
doesn't find them,
Hmm, looks like the search needs another drubbing. I believe it's
chopping up words at the boundaries of non-ASCII characters; if your
word is big enough on either end (übersetzung, terroranschläge) this
does a good enough job anyway, but it's hardly the way it should work!
I'll try it on my own machine later today; if it works there, I'll send
some MySQL character set config tweaks I've made that may help.
and when I search for more than one word (including
one with umlauts) I get MySQL errors.
I'm not getting that, this seems to work for me. (Try for example
"terroranschläge staaten".)
Note of course that the dreaded 4-character minimum is still in place.
* The conversion didn't correct the upper and
lower case problem in
article titles. I thought someone made a script for this?
Working on it...
* And can't we prevent the loss of article
histories when converting to
the new format?
BTW, maybe it's possible to keep an unlimited revision history (and
import the old ones) when the script is faster again, or when we change
to the new server.
We already do this since ages. (But nobody's yet run the recovery script
which will add these to the *English* version which was converted with
an older, more primitive conversion script.)
Which articles are missing histories? I checked a few at random and so
far, so good.
More complaints coming soon ... ;-)
Vielen dank!
