Hi,
For the past three days or so, whenever I try to access my "watchlist," I get this:
Warning: open(/tmp/sess_f0af9a7ae314037cd076e6d2ae285f73, O_RDWR) failed: Too many open files in system (23) in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/w/wiki.phtml on line 7
Warning: Failed opening 'Setup.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/w/wiki.phtml on line 12
Fatal error: Undefined class name 'outputpage' in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/w/wiki.phtml on line 14
Warning: open(/tmp/sess_f0af9a7ae314037cd076e6d2ae285f73, O_RDWR) failed: Too many open files in system (23) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
Is this a bug in the system, or am I doing something wrong (and remediable)?
Thanks, Steve ----- End forwarded message -----
The system gives these error messages sometimes. However, if you get them repeatedly, it usually means that the second and further times, you are NOT loading the page again, but are retrieving it from some cache. The best thing to do is to go to the page, and when you get the error message, hit 'reload' or 'refresh'. For most browsers and configurations that would solve the problems.

Bonjour, Do Wikipedia have already a support to HTML anchors ? It can be fine to be able to define anchors and add it to links. Those following lines are not interpreted by the parser : <a name="MyAnchorName"></a> <a href="#MyAnchorName">Go to my anchor</a> It can be usefull to target a paragraph in an article. Any solution ? If there are no support yet, I prose the fellowing :
[[anchor:MyAnchorName]] to set an anchor, and
[[ArticleName#MyAnchorName|DisplayText]] to link to anchors in an other articles, and
[[#MyAnchorName|DisplayText]] to link to anchors in same article.
What do you think about that ?

Can't you read my message ? Or aren't you intrested in my question ? Some people on the french's Wikipedia think that anchors are very important features and are waiting for your answer...

I seem to remember that Lee half-implemented anchors a while back, but they're not actually enabled. If nobody else can answer more fully, I'll go look over the code and see what still needs to be done.

We've had a discussion about anchors on wikipedia-l, and there were serious arguments against anchors. I short: Anchors are subpages through the backdoor. If an article is so long that it really needs anchors: split it! Shorten it and put the delailed parts in their own articles.
Please read my message on wikipedia-l from july: http://www.nupedia.com/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2002-July/002791.html and all others titled "page fragment links" (and some of the "Numbered section headings" may contain discussion about this, too). http://www.nupedia.com/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2002-July/thread.html
We've hat some kind of compromise that an index function could be implemented, that shows the headlines at the beginning of an article.
If you really think anchors should be implemented please ask for it on wikipedia-l and we can go through this again.
Kurt
Thank you Brion & Kurt. I read all post about the subject on wikipedia-l and founded this :
That's another thing to think about. BTW, I implemented page fragment links (e.g., [[Chemistry#history]], which links to [[##history]] on the Chemistry page), though I haven't made much noise about it because I'm still not sure they're needed--for one thing, they encourage long pages, and I don't like my syntax. But headings do seem like a natural match there.
Does this system still alive ? The french Wikipedians agree (in the majority) about the fact that too long articles need to be slice in sub-articles, but perhaps we don't have the same definition of what a TOO LONG article is. For exemple, I don't think this article http://fr.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?Pharaon is too long. Instead, I think in this case, anchors sould be really a usefull feature. The other case where we NEED achors, is for discussions. For exemple our vote page (http://fr.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?Wikipedia-Vote) is a vote only page. To make this page more readable, we moved discussion about the voting subject on other pages. We want to be able to target an exact place in this discussion pages. I disagree the argument that implement anchors will encourage people to make more long articles. We have to trust people to be enough mature to understand the benefit of having short articles. Even if someone write too long article, it's really easy to cut it in small part if you think it is necessary. Do you think I had better to post this message on wikipedia-l ? Cheers,
Guillaume (Aoineko)
