I'm going to eventually upgrade to 1.13. I was planning to upgrade to 1.12 and then to 1.13, so that if I had any problems I could narrow down where the error was. Should I be worried about this? Is it just as safe and easy to address any resulting problems upgrading from 1.11 to 1.13 as it is going 1.11 to 1.12 to 1.13? [02:42:07] Smaug: uh, just go straight from 1.11 to 1.13, there shouldn't be any issues [02:42:26] Skizzerz: alright. thanks for the assurances. [02:42:30] np [02:42:49] just make sure that you back up your db and old files first just in case some freak even occurrs [02:43:11] definately i will [02:43:18] then svn co the 1.13 branch and run the update.php script, which should handle all the schema changes [02:43:37] i don't use svn [02:43:44] i installed just using FTP [02:43:49] that works too :P [02:44:01] i'm not sure if I have "shell access," I can still run update.php right? [02:44:14] you'll need shell access (aka SSH) to run update.php [02:44:28] if you don't have that access, rename LocalSettings.php and re-run the web installer [02:44:34] alright [02:44:50] sounds good. [03:48:44] Dear VoABot II, [03:48:46] You are eligible to vote in the 2008 elections for the Board of [03:48:48] Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, ... [03:48:50] nice email ;) [03:49:33] proxy votes :D [03:52:05] whats the default password for Admin right after installation???? [03:52:40] whatever you set it too during installation [04:12:19] hello all , i try to find out how to display partial content of one special page(SpecialNewpages.php) on the main page in a table....can anybody point me in the right direction? [04:20:17] transclude it, via {{Special:Newpages/10}} for example [04:39:37] 03shinjiman * r35962 10/trunk/phase3/languages/messages/ (4 files): Localisation updates Cantonese, Chinese and Old/Late Time Chinese [04:52:18] Hello. How can I block creating new accounts? [04:52:32] And, on the same note, how can I manually create new logins? [04:53:07] samanime: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access [04:53:21] Thanks. [05:04:33] 03(NEW) service links don't work for many-valued properties - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14426 normal; normal; MediaWiki extensions: Semantic MediaWiki; (info) [05:11:48] Also, what is the easiest way to set up the "pretty links"? [05:11:53] And does anyone know why it isn't parsing my closing dt and dd tags? [05:12:05] I have $wgRawHTML=true [05:12:16] So doesn't that mean it should just allow whatever HTML I type? [05:14:42] raw (unsanitized) html has to appear inside dummy tags IIRC [05:15:44] Ah. Though, it looks like dt and dd are enabled by default anyways, so shouldn't it be parsed properly? [05:16:24] dl, dd, dt should be allowed, are you closing them in the proper order? [05:17:47] Yeah, I have them as I would if I was writing regular HTML. [05:18:14] ahh, dd/dt have to be wrapped in dl [05:18:21] For example, I have "
Cities
". [05:18:22] They are. [05:18:26] try
bar
[05:18:28] That's the very start of the page. [05:18:45] And that isn't parse (so it's </dt>) [05:18:47] do you have tidy enabled? [05:18:57] If it isn't enabled by default, no. [05:19:11] did you try that with
Cities
? [05:19:24] in XHTML you need to close *all* tags [05:19:40] Yeah, they are all closed. [05:19:58] still doesn't work? well, you could use wikicode then [05:20:03] I do professional web programming, so I'm confident that my HTML code is correct. [05:20:06] :this is a dd [05:20:13] ;this is a dt:followed by a dd [05:20:25] but try enabling tidy too [05:20:46] I reduced it to just "
Cities
" and it still displays it as 'Cities" [05:20:57] what version of mediawiki? [05:21:17] The latest. I just installed it. [05:21:35] for definition lists, i strongly recommend a template [05:21:46] in theory, the simple markup ought to be enough [05:21:59] samanime: try
Cities
just to see [05:22:00] but somehow i never get quite the effect i like [05:22:38] This is a private wiki for just a handful of developers, and since I don't know the wikicode stuff, I figure it'd be faster to just use HTML. [05:22:48] btw: "pretty links" as in short URLs without index.php ? [05:22:52] template syntax in this case will be easier [05:23:10] Xiong: true, but this html bug is interesting and worth squishing [05:23:11] Adding around it fixed the problem. [05:23:19] Yeah. Like www.mywiki.com/mypage [05:23:20] {{define|term|definition}} [05:23:24] because *should* work [05:23:27] !shorturl [05:23:27] --mwbot-- To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at . There are instructions for most different webserver setups. If you have problems getting the rewrite rules to work, see !rewriteproblem [05:23:41] Nice. [05:24:01] also: really, if you try to use www.mywiki.com/mypage instead of www.mywiki.com/wiki/mypage you'll almost definitely be back.. several times, trying to debug problems with it [05:24:09] it is a pain [05:24:12] yes [05:24:18] follow the traditional structure [05:24:26] null article path = pain for you and us [05:24:27] with the entire install in /www/w/ [05:24:54] but urls will be /wiki/ after short url fix [05:25:03] even if you have www.mywiki.com/w/mypage it is muchbetter, you can set up a custom 404 handler to meta redirect any / to /w/ too [05:25:33] Yeah, I didn't necessarily mean exactly www.wiki.com/mypage... [05:25:37] k ^_^ [05:25:51] I have another of my sites set up that way, and it is a pain to manage... took me forever to tweak the .htaccess just right. [05:26:17] anyway, for a dd, a newline followed by a colon, and for a dt/dd pair, a newline followed by a semicolon, and the first colon in the string closes the dt and opens a dd [05:26:42] grouping them together makes them use the same dl, usually [05:26:53] and you can embed them (this is the main format used on wiki talk pages) [05:26:57] :this is a talk page comment [05:27:02] ::this is an indented reply [05:27:04] etc [05:27:32] has there been any effort to properly specify the mediawiki template language, such that it could be fully implemented within other systems? [05:27:39] i have no problem with talk page indenting with : -- in fact i insist on it [05:27:42] Is there a quick page for that? Because I'm sure I won't remember all that lol. [05:27:55] but i repeat, you'll do better with a template for definitions [05:28:19] easier to use and you *will* remember it [05:28:31] do you want me to set it up for you, and you can try it? [05:28:31] aomark1: the basis it is pretty simple, {{{}}} and {{}} [05:29:08] samanime: there is a wikicode cheatsheet somewhere (probably several) [05:29:35] aomark1: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Preprocessor_ABNF [05:29:41] (this is the short url approach i'm using -- works great for me on a freehost MW install: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title_--_no_root_access) [05:29:48] the problem is, it is too easy to add new markup via extension. [05:30:48] but basically, template syntax is: {{transclusion}} of a named page (in template namespace unless specified) but inclusive of magic words (simple variable injection), and parser functions (parameter-based text/transclusion injection) [05:31:39] but check the "ideal" processor rules for order [05:31:44] hmm -- thanks all [05:31:58] no offense splarka but i even know what you're saying and i still don't understand it on the second reading [05:32:21] the messy bit is resolving {{{}}} parameters and {{}} calls, along with [[]] links, [] external links, broken code, etc [05:32:35] indeed [05:32:44] I have no idea how it does any of this either [05:32:50] you've given the formal definition, which is cool, but don't you think examples would be more useful for the beginner? [05:33:03] I just know what it does because I spent some months debugging it during the migration [05:33:10] heh [05:33:23] I'm thinking about trying a python implementation [05:33:35] {{template}} first checks if it is a registered core parser function or extension registered parser function (inclusive of magic words) [05:33:53] samanime: do you want me to set up a template on your wiki so that you can experiment with it? [05:33:57] parser functions usually start with a hash, like {{#tag}} or {{#if}} meaning there can be no conflict [05:33:58] yeah the extensions are really where this gets difficult to port [05:34:04] if you don't like it, you can ignore it or delete it [05:34:05] Sure. [05:34:09] almost all extension parser functions have hash [05:34:24] I'll probably be setting up a public one of these for this project in the future, so it's good to learn all I can. [05:34:32] also, parameters to parser functions are first delimited with a pipe [05:34:42] is there a list of extensions being used by wikipedia currently? [05:34:46] {{#foo:bar|baz}} is a parser function, {{foo|bar|baz}} is a template [05:34:55] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version [05:35:00] thanks [05:35:18] so, if there is no parser function or magic word that matches that syntax, then a page by that name is looked for [05:35:33] {{foo}} would look for Template:Foo, as would {{Template:foo}} [05:35:55] {{User:Foo}} would look for User:Foo as User is a valid namespace [05:36:20] {{Foo:Foo}} would look for Template:Foo:Foo *unless* Foo: was a valid custom or localized namespace [05:36:33] {{:Foo}} would look for the page [[Foo]] in the main namespace [05:36:57] there are some subversive deviations of this, like int: msg: msgnw: raw: subst: etc [05:37:08] see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words for details on those [05:37:38] all useful, thanks splarka [05:38:01] {{{1}}} is a template argument, example, calling {{foo|bar}}, it would grab Template:Foo and replace {{{1}}} with "bar" [05:38:07] 03shinjiman * r35963 10/trunk/extensions/ (AntiBot/AntiBot.i18n.php TorBlock/TorBlock.i18n.php): Localisation updates Cantonese and Chinese for extension messages [05:38:16] a fallback is delimited with a pipe, eg: {{{1|default if no parameter specified}}} [05:38:29] parameters can be named: {{foo|name=bar}} -> {{{name}}} [05:39:08] those are the basics, see the preprocessor code for workings, and for more depth see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates [05:39:48] and to get into esoteric stuff, like transcluding the name of a template, {{{{foo}}|bar}} see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template [05:40:17] but if there is one thing history has taught this channel, making an identical parser in another language is semi-futile [05:40:55] *Splarka pokles Tim to correct him on anything he completely got wrong ^_^ [05:41:02] :) [05:41:53] what was the quote again?

[12:11:18] What does it output? [12:11:22] zeev: have you looked into the file to verify that it's valid xml? [12:11:28] check, please, whether the list I have provided is the correct one [12:11:36] by exporting it [12:11:44] I get no error messages [12:11:56] Do you get a list of imported pages? [12:12:00] also... what's your content language setting? I think if the Help namespace is called something else, this may cause confusion. not sure though [12:12:34] yes I get the list of imported pages - but they are empty [12:12:41] most of them [12:12:49] zeev: well, it will export the pages you listed. and when you import the xml, the pages on that list should exist on your wiki, if they existed on the source wiki. [12:12:58] hm? most? [12:13:14] yes, some of them do have contents [12:13:25] are you sure you are exporting from the right wiki? [12:13:38] what's the full url of Special:Export yopu are using? [12:13:50] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Export [12:13:55] from there [12:13:56] wrong wiki [12:14:09] you should be exporting from www.mediawiki.org [12:14:14] not meta.wikimedia.org [12:14:20] oops... [12:14:36] :P# [12:14:37] what should I write to the Category in export form? [12:14:44] nothing [12:14:51] (thanks I'll check it) [12:14:58] that's just an alternative way to list pages [12:15:05] if you already have a list, you don't need it [12:15:17] how do I delete all the pages that I have created by importing? [12:15:48] I have no idea, i'm afraid. [12:16:09] I'd just import over them. [12:16:17] for the ones with no content, that should just work [12:16:42] if there was content, may see content from the wrong page, depending on which one was edited more recently [12:22:54] wait a second - why do you say its a wrong wiki [12:22:56] ? [12:23:18] I should be able to export anything from any place, no? [12:24:04] zeev: sure, but those pages are not on that wiki. [12:24:13] the help pages are mainteained at www.mediawiki.org [12:24:41] hm... ok... [12:24:44] that you don't get an error message when trying to export a non-existing pages is simply a sad fact of life [12:25:20] though it's admittedly not trivial to show an error message when at the same time serving an xml file for download. [12:25:28] actually, hhtp doesn't allow this, really [12:25:32] *http [12:25:52] show the error page, make it redirect to the xml file [12:26:41] that would mean buffering the xml, and it only works with a disposition-header, for bropwsers that actually support that. [12:26:48] but yea, it would be worth a try [12:26:54] my approach would be to write the error into the xml [12:27:06] and show it on import. or do both [12:27:28] anyway, /me is going down for reboot. [12:30:09] do I need to write Help:name of page or just [12:30:13] name of page [12:30:17] while exporting?

[21:43:05] that's the only way you'll ever be able to manipulate mediawiki after it's already started processings stuff, so yes. otherwise you're limited to about when LocalSettings is defined, which is very early on [21:43:26] right [21:44:37] 03(NEW) Add translation for "UTC" in signatures for Arabic Wikipedia - 10http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14452 15enhancement; normal; Wikimedia: General/Unknown; (mohamed.m.k) [21:46:58] i'm not sure how to have this custom tag only do something, on ArticleSave [21:49:26] Skizzerz: do you know if that's possible? [21:49:46] idk, what do the docs say? [21:55:51] jlerner: it's not possible with a "real" parser tag -- because those are about parsing/rendering, which does not happen at all when the page is being saved. [21:56:00] you can do some type of search & replace on the text though [21:56:04] right [21:56:08] you'll just have to find the right hook [21:56:12] this actually seemed to work - after i fixed the bug [21:56:40] http://pastebin.com/ma01439b [21:56:54] if it passes that, something happens [21:57:04] which is what i wanted [21:58:21] Duesentrieb_: apparently the code following what's in pastebin is getting executed (on article save only) [22:04:31] K, Found a sorting issue in mediawiki on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroelectricity#Countries_with_the_most_hydro-electric_capacity [22:04:39] Annual Hydroelectric [22:04:40] Energy Production [22:05:05] sorts properly, but "Installed Capacity" does not [22:16:57] Mapler: my guess would be that this is caused by non-numbers ("-") in some cells [22:17:56] err, actually... the sorting looks good to me [22:21:11] it sorts one way correctly, but not the other [22:21:34] it lists (as an example) 88, as being higher than 112, since 8>1 [22:21:55] unless this is a mozilla firefox error...

[23:00:25] so that " " becomes %20 etc [23:01:45] i have a download template which is called like {{Download|file=media/audio/Lost_In_Translation/Bubble_Bobble/Bubble_Bobble_-_Title_&_Extend_(Arcade).ogg|name='''"Title & Extend"'''}} and the template is [http://files.exotica.org.uk/?file=exotica/{{{file}}} {{{name}}}] (ftp) [23:01:57] and i want to url encode "file" [23:02:50] in this case the problem is the & .. of course the link could be encoded by the user, but they don't always know [23:05:46] Buzz_: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Parser_function#URLENCODE [23:05:47] ok. i think i found it {{urlencode: [23:05:49] yeh [23:05:50] hehe [23:06:00] thanks [23:06:47] Mike_lifeguard: will {{urlencode:{{{file}}}}} parse ok ? [23:07:41] i wonder why mediawiki chose {{{ }}} sometimes.. in templates. readability wise it can be terrible [23:09:23] Buzz_: you want {{urlencode:{{{file|}}}}} so it does not interpret {{{}}} literally, and urlencode them [23:09:43] aah ok [23:10:12] but really.. its really ugly.. [23:10:25] who chose this syntax ;-) [23:10:59] why 3x{{{ for template parameters ?

[23:14:21] thats an unfair reply.. you can be a critique of something without having made your own solution.. [23:14:48] that's [23:15:22] Hey, I'm not a developer either. I don't mean you need to write things yourself, but you could suggest something better. [23:15:59] well.. heres one. a simple one. why '' '' for and ''' for strong ? why not /something/ for em and #for strong# ? [23:16:01] for example ? [23:16:16] ok dir names can have /somethign/ but that couldbe quoted [23:16:25] or //something// maybe [23:16:25] I don't know, I didn't write it [23:17:05] but I do know that that would break basically 100% of pages, so that's not a good change [23:17:28] for wikipedia yes... im selfish and im only considering my own wiki :D [23:17:41] ok, so rewrite the parser just for yourself :) [23:17:51] but if you have }}}}} in a template, and its only 2 nested things, then something is going wrong ;-) [23:18:08] brain f*ck really [23:18:17] buzz, the template syntax is weird because it's meant to work with english [23:18:23] that's really the crux of the issue [23:18:32] not only english, but any other natural language [23:18:52] so basically, anything that isn't meant to render exactly as typed has to be escaped in some way [23:19:13] the point is i assuem that {{{ etc or ''' would never come up in a normal text [23:19:17] exactly [23:19:20] but would ## either ? [23:19:23] or $$ [23:19:24] ? [23:19:34] but in point of fact, *everything* comes up sooner or later [23:19:43] so, elaborate escape sequences [23:19:48] ## and $$ are not valid wiki markup syntax, so they would show up [23:19:49] and in that case. dont complicate it. and when it comes up. escape it. [23:20:05] well, why prefer # to {{? [23:20:11] Skizzerz: my point is, using such things instead perhaps.. [23:20:22] well i would prefer in a template just { [23:20:31] and escape any other { [23:20:35] because { } is used in many other instances [23:20:42] right, but a single brace is common [23:20:50] but.. in a "template" [23:20:50] that will come up often in regular text [23:20:54] esp. in wikis that have code examples of, say, PHP and the like [23:20:58] not in main [23:21:20] so then why not {{ this is common too? why {{{ :-) [23:21:21] i think you're asking for templates to be parsed using different rules than ordinary pages [23:21:30] templates aren't magic, mediawiki doesn't give templates an elevated status, it just uses that namespace [23:21:33] maybe they should. [23:21:38] i know that [23:21:39] {{{ is for template parameters [23:21:43] because {{ is a template call; {{{ is a parameter [23:21:44] i know that. thanks [23:21:48] ;-) [23:21:49] must be able to tell the difference [23:21:59] yeh.. well. thats where it all gets messy [23:22:05] then why are you complaining/what are you complaining about? [23:22:07] veeblefetzer {{one}} [23:22:14] that's a call to Template:One [23:22:19] <[Ex0r]> im having trouble. I just installed mediawiki 1.9.3 on my server, and imported a backup database for it [23:22:23] veeblefetzer {{{one}}} [23:22:27] <[Ex0r]> but im getting a .revisions table doesn't exist error [23:22:35] that's the text of some template that has a named parameter "one" [23:22:41] im saying its not very readable [23:22:47] i agree [23:22:55] im not saying i have the asnwer [23:22:56] answer [23:22:59] but *no* metamarkup is readable -- it can't be [23:23:01] but.. its ugly [23:23:06] [Ex0r]: is the db prefix you used in the installation the same as the prefix in the db dump? [23:23:14] and im certain there MUST be a better way [23:23:14] surely [23:23:15] :-) [23:23:17] <[Ex0r]> i changed it [23:23:31] <[Ex0r]> but reflected the changes in the dump [23:23:41] you have to admit. logic in a table having a template called "!" or something with | is rather ugly [23:23:42] well, i think the reason you're annoying everyone with your complaint is that we all have the same opinion [23:23:50] if you can do better, cool [23:23:53] but we can't [23:23:59] im not trying to annoy. im just discussing it.. [23:24:04] if that's ok [23:24:04] <[Ex0r]> Skizzerz- there isnt even a table called revisions in the db [23:24:05] :) [23:24:08] <[Ex0r]> or in the dump [23:24:10] no, {{!}} is clever [23:24:22] [Ex0r]: then re-run the install scrpit, you appear to be missing tables [23:24:23] see, | introduces another actual parameter [23:24:28] i know.. [23:24:29] it won't mess with any existing ones [23:24:36] what if you need to pass | *in* a param? what would you do? [23:24:38] er, run update.php actually if you have shell access [23:24:39] <[Ex0r]> Skizzerz- It won't delete any of my existing tables ? [23:24:41] yes. but this all happens due to clashes [23:24:45] no, it won't [23:24:47] || doesn't cut it, that only means an empty param [23:24:59] <[Ex0r]> Skizzerz- I can't, it's telling me it's already configured. [23:25:00] and if the parameter syntaxs were thought out differently this could be avoided im sure [23:25:07] you probably don't like LISP, either, do you? [23:25:21] [Ex0r]: run the update.php script in your shell (if you have shell access) [23:25:24] i used to, but then i saw a speech therapist ;-) [23:25:26] <[Ex0r]> i dont [23:25:57] 03(NEW) Invitation e-mail subject to be translated. - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14455 15enhancement; normal; MediaWiki extensions: BoardVote; (bugzilla.wikimedia) [23:26:01] otherwise rename LocalSettings.php to something else, re-run the install script, and incoporate any changes w/ the newly-created localsettings with the one you renamed and rename it back to LocalSettings.php [23:26:04] there area great many languages and scripts -- for a reason [23:26:24] one or more programmers don't like the features or syntax of all that exist [23:26:27] so they write another [23:26:39] obviously, nothing pleases everyone [23:26:48] and for that matter, nothing seems to please very many [23:27:20] sure. but mediawiki is a chocie of many because its the largest most supported software.. and you know.. if noone ever makes any critical comments, then there is something wrong, or the softwre is perfect [23:27:36] everyone complains about MW [23:27:40] im not being deconstructive i think.. just discussing [23:27:43] we all know it's prefect :p [23:27:52] the development path for it was basically idiotic -- an application designed to run once [23:27:55] basic wiki markup isn't going to change anytime in the near future, or ever, for that matter [23:28:11] stuff may be added or tweaked, but the basic syntax won't change [23:28:33] it just so happens that over time, the application matured and does a lot of nifty stuff [23:28:45] <[Ex0r]> Skizzerz- Rerunning the script is saying the table already exists [23:28:52] for a long time, the standard MW distro made sitesubtitle ="The Free [23:28:55] <[Ex0r]> so it wont create it [23:28:56] huh...

[23:29:26] see, that sitesubtitle doesn't display at all under monobook [23:29:31] so most users never even noticed [23:29:33] Your problem has surpassed my level of expertise in that regard, so perhaps someone else may be able to assist you :) [23:29:37] but i use cologneblue [23:29:57] and even now, i see many wikis that run old install, that have never changed the sitesubtitle [23:30:14] basically, MW is the scrap that fell off the dining room table [23:30:27] you drag it home and eat it -- or you leave it [23:30:39] ... quite an interesting simile there [23:30:46] to me, the joke is that MW is the best thing to come out of the entire effort [23:30:50] my opinion [23:30:59] *Skizzerz agrees :P [23:31:03] i think WP is turning into a hellhole -- and has been doing so for years [23:31:23] WP is overly bureaucratic imo [23:31:23] but as a test bed for MW, it has done famously [23:31:41] WP suffers from so many ills i don't know where to begin [23:31:53] the point being, MW became robust in response to these challenges [23:32:06] in some ways, WP has been a battle between the devs and everyone else [23:32:26] with "everyone else" currently in the lead >_> [23:32:27] while the userbase sits around and debates policy, devs simply write what they think is best [23:32:36] disagree [23:32:47] because the devs have achieved -- apparently -- their goals [23:32:52] i chose mediawiki because although some other wikis code (at the time) were much better looking, mediawiki was proven to be scalable, and the liekly hood was it would be developed.. if only because of wikipedia [23:32:54] which was enough for me [23:33:10] and i already knew its syntax (and yesi complain, but mostly its quite ok ) ;-) [23:33:18] i think the outstanding example of this was autofellatio [23:33:35] autofellatio ? if only i could ;-) [23:33:35] this image went up for deletion and for featured picture -- several times [23:33:39] not really... there is so much more stuff that needs to be coded and/or fixed in the mw codebase that it would take many more years for the goals to finally be achieved. and by that time more goals will pop up [23:33:52] meanwhile, it was being spammed all over, inappropriate places [23:34:06] so, one of the devs just wrote up a "bad image list" [23:34:09] speaking of spam. did i mention my wiki? http://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/Main_Page ;-) [23:34:19] images on that list can only be displayed on certain pages [23:34:21] sorry "our" wiki. ;-) [23:34:41] that "policy" was never debated by the community at large; no consensus formed [23:35:02] at the time that dev imposed that solution, there was nothing like consensus -- and i don't think there is, now [23:35:06] Xiong: yes, out of response of the spamming all over the place, it was such activity which caused that to be coded [23:35:27] the rabid inclusionists and the bowdlerizers never worked it out -- the devs did [23:35:33] I do agree with you in that consensus should have been reached before its implementation, but the means were out of good intention [23:35:39] look, i'm not arguing here [23:35:43] only describing what happened [23:35:46] heh [23:36:03] the devs did not offer this solution to the community and wait for a decision -- they just did [23:36:13] the man with the keys to the rack room is always the final authority [23:36:25] the good news. is.. the "api" almost allows editing ;-) [23:36:29] finally [23:36:31] almost [23:36:33] ;-) [23:36:34] it does allow editing [23:36:41] you just have to turn on the feature in LocalSettings [23:36:50] and all the bitter battles over this or that sysop, this or that policy, or this or that arbitration committee decision are subject to the first rule [23:36:51] and have the 'writeapi' permission [23:36:52] no. almost ;-) as its not well tested [23:37:02] and not everything is supported [23:37:16] the devs don't really have to listen to anybody, including jimbo and the board [23:37:24] because the latter can't do without the former [23:37:54] anyway. it finally allows me to create a perl script which doesnt rely on page scraping [23:37:59] so, while WP has been embroiled in politics and stupidity, MW itself has forged ahead -- and as i said, is the best result fo the entire effort [23:38:09] mmm [23:38:22] Xiong: devs listen to the board!!11 [23:38:26] there's a lesson there [23:38:34] a small team with shared values can get much done [23:38:37] Xiong: domas is the board. [23:38:49] a huge community without shared values stalls and fights [23:38:49] oh yes, I am _the_ board [23:38:57] Xiong: and domas comes after us with a meat cleaver if we add milliseconds to page load time, what do you think would happen if we ignored board? :) [23:39:02] well domas, go ahead -- fire all the devs, take away their keys [23:39:06] don't think it will happen [23:39:16] Xiong: why? [23:39:28] well for one, your interests are not so divergent [23:39:32] Xiong: brion vibber is Chief Technical Officer, and a paid employee of the foundation. [23:39:38] and for another, who will you get to replace them? [23:39:45] Xiong: if somebody revert-warred with him on the codebase, he would take away their access. [23:39:48] I can replace anyone! [23:39:56] Werdna: I can revert-war with him [23:39:59] i dunno, perhaps the time has come that it is actually possible to fire all the devs [23:40:02] Werdna: I actually did! [23:40:11] there's sufficient cash flow and interest [23:40:19] domas: o rly? [23:40:24] Xiong: why would you do that? [23:40:24] but that's not been true in the past and that's why MW works so well [23:40:39] who, me? [23:40:42] i wouldn't [23:40:55] i think the devs are doing pretty well, considering most are unpaid and unappreciated [23:41:01] and often openly reviled [23:41:15] and as i've said twice now, MW is an outstanding tool [23:41:20] mmm, torblock comes to mind [23:41:20] i won't use another wiki engine [23:41:24] that was fun. [23:41:30] yeah, people should really show some respect for teh poor devs :D [23:41:34] yup [23:41:36] no respect!

There are legitimate problems that should have been addressed [23:46:18] Mike_lifeguard: Well yes, but you can never get anybody to care about it, or to make a genuine effort at compromising and discussing, until it's actually been done. [23:46:36] I spoke to numerous checkusers before implementation, and they all basically said "Tor is bad.

[23:53:32] AzaTht: I already rate limited it [23:53:37] ok [23:53:39] it's subject to the same rate limits as regular moves. [23:53:42] to how much? [23:53:45] why don't i see a board vote link from WP? [23:53:49] only from wikinews [23:53:51] whatever the existing rate limit is. [23:53:54] I see [23:54:29] yeah, I think some additional restriction is needed for that [23:54:52] even on wikibooks, sysop-only is probably fine [23:55:23] Werdna: so what happens then? does it just move X pages up to the rate limit? [23:55:37] or does it wait a minute and moves the rest then? [23:55:59] or does it precalculate and decides if it can be moved or not based on the current limit? [23:56:33] all moves count as one, I think (moving the talk page along with a page is treated the same way) [23:56:56] but moving one additional page versus moving >>1 additional pages is not quite the same [23:57:25] AzaTht: correct. [23:57:34] Werdna: which one? [23:57:46] AzaTht: each page move hits the rate limit once. [23:59:16] so if we have for example A, A/{A,B,C,D,E} and the rate limit is 5, then A and A/{A,B,C,D} is moved, but not A/E? [23:59:34] right
