I would like to thank you very much for your e-mail of
2014-Jan-11.
It was very helpful and I have made much progress towards WP-MIRROR
0.7.
My pleasure. Glad to help out.
However, in the
navigation bar, under the ``In other languages'' link, the expected
list of interlanguage links still does not appear.
As a disclaimer, I've not set up Wikibase on my machine (XOWA parses
the json directly for interlanguage links)
That said, have you downloaded the wb_items_per_site table?:
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/20140226/wikidatawiki-20140226-wb_i…
I looked at the Wikibase code now, and it appears that links are
retrieved from there. See:
/Wikibase/lib/includes/store/sql/SiteLinkTable.php
there is no
list of gadgets.
Special:Gadgets depends mainly on the Gadget pages in the MediaWiki
namespace. Specifically
simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition, and related
gadget pages (for example, MediaWiki:Gadget-Edittools and
MediaWiki:Gadget-Edittools.css).
These pages look fine in my simplewiki dump:
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/simplewiki/20140308/simplewiki-20140308-pages-ar…
Offhand, I'd guess that the pages don't exist in your simplewiki
instance. I know your last email said that you pruned the MediaWiki ns
from the title:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2014-February/001000.ht…
Could you check your table just in case?
SELECT page_namespace, Cast(page_title AS CHAR) FROM page WHERE
page_namespace = 8 ORDER BY 2;
I would expect rows like the following
8 Gadget-Edittools
8 Gadget-Edittools.css
8 Gadgets-definition
If they do exist, go to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition and reduce the
list down to one gadget (Gadget-Edittools). See if that loads.
Hope this helps, and good luck with WP-MIRROR 0.7.
