[04:20:22] mwbot: welcome back [04:20:56] heh. CHBot knew mwbot was back [04:21:08] Almost like he's psycic :) [04:21:28] MrZ-man: the only think now is that if account creation is blocked, you can't request one [04:21:37] erm .. psychic* [04:21:44] *amidaniel fails at spelling [04:21:45] I'd make a config option to tweak it, but I don't see the use [04:21:54] I can't picture it being enabled here [04:22:22] some people have been complaining about email addresses an IPs of users being left in the page history [04:22:29] *and [04:23:16] AaronSchulz: why would it not be enabled? [04:23:17] yeah, that's kinda silly to have people expose themselves like that [04:23:30] there is always some silly reason [04:23:43] people will say it would be confusing or an instruction creep [04:23:54] this is en wikipedia after all [04:24:02] the current way is already instruction creep [04:24:11] it has clerks and everything [04:24:52] I suggested a toolserver based thing, but its been pretty flaky as of late, and an extension exists that does most of what would be needed [04:29:07] and the extension needs email enabled, so I can't test it :P [04:55:01] *Splarka glares, wonders who invented that crazy esperanto transformation syntax [04:56:27] MZMcBride: brion and I were talking about it earlier, weren't you here? [04:56:48] oop. /me reads scrollback [05:00:36] ooh, mw 1.12 is coming :) [05:00:36] MrZ-man: the form has options to make it simple or complex [05:00:44] you can check out citizendium's form [05:00:51] it uses that [05:04:29] where is text transformation (like the esperanto x-coding conversion/unconversion) done in mediawiki? [05:04:59] Splarka: in the iconv() override :D [05:05:06] there's an editing charset override [05:05:10] yes, it's a horrid and scary system [05:05:16] it dates from very early days of the code [05:05:20] i was probably on crack [05:05:20] fair enough [05:05:26] *Splarka just replicated it in javascript, on crack [05:05:34] brion: and don't forget to sync test.wp :) [05:05:51] brion: every try meth? [05:05:53] brion: http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-EoMagicalConversion.js [05:06:05] *brion is more a caffeine and alcohol kind of guy [05:06:41] and having done that while only using eo.wikt preview a/b testing, I thought afterwards I should look at the code ... [05:06:49] *Splarka giggles a bit insanely [05:06:59] *Splarka glares at gangleri too [05:07:13] hi [05:07:28] the problem though, is it is compoundable, for example un-coding cx... [05:07:39] cx becomes cxx becomes cxxxx becomes cxxxxxxxx [05:07:52] >:D [05:08:01] which in JS is a bitch [05:08:03] yeah, it gets scary because it needs to be able to round-trip all possibilities [05:08:11] quad mocha <3 [05:08:21] it works fine right now, unless you click [back] and [forward] in your browser [05:08:25] give me a time machine and a clue-by-four and i can fix this problem for you [05:08:30] heh [05:08:34] well [05:08:34] "hey zamenhof, JUST USE CH" [05:08:41] I have another recent cluebyfour for you [05:09:07] how come there is no
