MediaWiki to Latex Converter
by Hugo Vincent 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi everyone, I recently set up a MediaWiki (http://server.bluewatersys.com/w90n740/) and I need to extra the content from it and convert it into LaTeX syntax for printed documentation. I have googled for a suitable OSS solution but nothing was apparent. I would prefer a script written in Python, but any recommendations would be very welcome. Do you know of anything suitable? Kind Regards, Hugo Vincent, Bluewater Systems.

Hi, today we came over 10k HTTP requests per second (even with inter-squid traffic eliminated). Especially thanks to Mark and Tim, who've been improving our caching, as well as doing lots of other work, and achieved incredible results (while I was slacking). Really, thanks! Domas

Rating Articles Extension
by Travis Derouin 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Hey, I've put together an extension for rating articles if anyone is interested. It's just a first version and hasn't been tested much, but the details can be found here: http://www.wikihow.com/WikiHow:RateArticle-Extension You can see an example here on our development server: http://wiki16.wikidiy.com/Get-a-Better-Deal-on-a-Home-Loan (username password wikihow / wikihow2006) - scroll down to the bottom of the page for the checkmarks. I'd appreciate feedback if anyone has any. If someone wants to add this to extensions in svn, that'd be great. Thanks, Travis

We have reached the maximum table size limit of 4GB for our text table - what's the best way around or to fix this? Travis

License status of MW screenshots.
by Mark Clements 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

This pops up every so often at www.mediawiki.org, particularly in relation to the public domain help pages that we are trying to compile. What is the correct license for screenshots of MediaWiki? Are we able to distribute them along with the PD help pages (when we get to that stage)? Currently they are variously tagged as GFDL, PD, (c) WMF and possibly others. Are there any considerations that may cause some screenshots to be under one license and some under another? E.g. if the screenshot includes the MW logo or certain interface text does it affect how it can be licensed? What about the different skins? It would be good to have this question answered officially, once and for all. - Mark Clements (HappyDog)

Blocking request: domains used for SEO
by Tim 'avatar' Bartel 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

Hi, there is a infamous person in Germany named "Mario Dolzer" (try Google if you speak German) who is mostly known for spreading dialers. He is building a massive SEO network for his activities. And since several weeks he uses dynamically grabbed wikipedia content. He is not only ignoring "official" OTRS-Mails to him but announce to sell his "Wikipedia-SEO-Script". Most probably it will be best to sue him - that is not an easy job. Second best option seems to be to cut him off. The good thing: Most of his domains are located in a small adress space. 213.131.228.64/28 213.203.193.128/26 213.131.229.232/29 Just a 'short list' of the abusing domains: o3.de 100000logos.de

WikiDump Parsing
by Harish TM 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

I was trying to parse the Wikipedia dumps but unfortunately I find the XML file that can be downloaded a little hard to parse. I was wondering if there is a neat way to extract: 1. The article title 2. The article content ( without links to articles in other languages, external links and so on ) 3. The category. Also I find that there are a large number of tools that allow one to convert plain text to media wiki text. What if I want to go the other way and extract information exactly the way it appears on the wikipedia site. Harish

embedded links in UI messages (splitted from "Major flaws...")
by Daniel Arnold 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

Note: The following topic is not about namespace names and not about names of special pages. Vanilla Mediawiki UI strings contain hardcoded localised link targets. For example have a look at MediaWiki:Blockedtext (if you want to get all (?) affected messages grep for {{ns:project}} in the sources). Well again in monolingual wikis no problem. These linked pages are supposed to exist but now consider a multilingual wiki... For example "Project:Administrateur" is linked in MediaWiki:Blockedtext/fr from vanilla Mediawiki. Imagine using someone French in a wiki with a non-french default language which is commonly the case in multilingual wikis such as Wikimedia Commons (note: French is just an example this holds for every of the zillions of languages supported by Mediawiki). So UI messages were created with monolingual wikis in mind and never considering simultanous usage of different languages. So in vanilla Mediawiki please do not hardcode any wiki page in message strings. Well how to localise embedded link targets in the future? Use a mechanism that points to mediawiki namespace pages that define these link targets (like the mediawiki namespace pages defined by MediaWiki:Sidebar). A possible syntax could be done with {{subst:Mediawiki:PAGENAME}} templates (however this syntax has some problems as this would need to expand to a given sub page and would need to check if that sub page exists and fall back to default if not). Another possible syntax could be the use of named variables such as $MediaWiki:PAGENAME in interface strings. Arnomane

Indeed there was a strong feeling that the hacking days were overproduced last year, with too many outsiders, too heavy scheduling, too many talks. The hacking days are meant to be informal and, hopefully, productive. :) Some really nice points did get made in the middle of it, but I and others found the overall experience rather frustrating. In contrast, in 2005 we really weren't organized enough, and while there was good socializing which helped build team spirit we didn't come out with much directly productive. My recommendation: don't invite too many people, don't have lots of talks. Talks would be more appropriate for a tech track during Wikimania proper. A few small workshop-type sessions to let people strategize, socialize, roadmap, experiment, and accept tasks to work on for the coming months would be a lot nicer, and would better justify having a distinct "hacking days" period before/after the main conference. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
