Re: [Wikitech-l] Extension bundling for 1.18
So this is the current list: * CategoryTree Is this really a feature that most people would use? * Cite Is this something that most people really use on external sites? how popular (i'm saying this because i'm probably one of the rarer people that don't run/need it on any of my installs) * Confirm Edit * DismissableSiteNotice Again, how many people? this seems a suggestion for the sake of it, but i guess its up to other people. * ExpandTemplates Is this something most sites really need? * Gadgets * ParserFunctions * Renameuser * TitleKey Couldn't we just fix search so it was case insensitive compared to needing to bundle something? * Validator There is really no need for it, unless there is a extenstion that needs it that we are also bundlering we shouldn't just randomly stick stuff in because it might be nice * Vector * WikiEditor Possibly I guess, although I would actually prefer it in core compared to a extension, I'm not a fan of how it takes a little longer to load and the screen jumps around. It would probably be nicer to set up ED to record stats on which extensions get downloaded the most and then use that as a starting point for the discussions on what to bundle. Also have we even looked at security issues side of things? because even if they aren't installed the files will still be sitting there on the server unless someone deletes them from their extensions directory... ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

[Wikitech-l] WOM Extension
I am looking at the WOM extension, but I am not sure if it is the correct extension for us. We want is an api call that takes a wiki page - either parses the wiki markup (or removes wiki markup) then sends back an xml of the page content.The regular wiki api gives us pages with wiki markup within it. We tried something like this: api.php?action=womgetpage=Somepagexpath=//* It did not seem to do what we expected. Do you mind letting me know if we are looking at the correct extension?

[Wikitech-l] Announcing Ubuntu Ensemble, mediawiki community feedback requested
Hi everyone, This is Ahmed, I work for Ubuntu helping the cloud community. Ubuntu has been working on some hot technology, that aims to be apt-get for the cloud! Basically Install and manage large scale cloud deployments of web applications (and others) with the equivalent ease of apt-get install. The reason I'm posting this here, is because the very first use-case for this technology (called Ensemble) has been MediaWiki (yaay)! To get a feel for Ensemble, here is how you'd deploy a 4 machine Mediawiki installation DB - MediaWiki - memcached - HAproxy Loadbalancer -8- # Deploy machines ensemble deploy mysql wiki-db ensemble deploy mediawiki demo-wiki ensemble deploy memcached wiki-cache ensemble deploy haproxy wiki-balancer # Connect them together! ensemble add-relation wiki-db demo-wiki:db ensemble add-relation wiki-cache demo-wiki ensemble add-relation wiki-balancer:reverseproxy demo-wiki:website -8- Slashdotted? Want to scale out? You'd need something like ensemble add-unit wiki-cache ensemble add-unit demo-wiki Yes, it's that easy! Ensemble takes care of informing MW about the new memcached server just spun up, and informing HAproxy about the new MW...etc! You can view the formula code that does all the magic at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ensemble-composers/principia/oneiric/mediawiki/trunk/files/head:/hooks/ http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eensemble-composers/principia/oneiric/mediawiki/trunk/files/head:/hooks/ The reason I am contacting you guys, is that you're the MediaWiki experts. I am very interested to get feedback from you on what you think of Ensemble today, what you think it should do tomorrow, and most importantly to help improve the MW formula The main project page is: https://ensemble.ubuntu.com/ Ensemble documentation: https://ensemble.ubuntu.com/docs Development resources (source code, bugs, etc) are available in Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ensemble To connect to the Ensemble community, You can subscribe to the mailing list at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ensemble And there's also an active IRC channel: #ubuntu-ensemble @ Freenode If you reply here, I'll try answer questions, but it's better to post Ensemble feedback directly on Ensemble channels (since that's where the devs and formula writers are). In the mean time, if there's any questions or thoughts grab me (kim0 on freenode) right away. I'd love to see more collaboration between the MW community and the Ensemble community to make MW a dream to install/run/manage/scale on the cloud. I am willing to help in any way possible to make this happen. Interested? What next steps do you think we should take?

Merging to core or not would have no effect on that -- it can be fixed while still an extension, or it can remain jumpy in core. That jumping is one of the biggest pains in the goddamn ass when I'm trying to edit Wikipedia. (It appears my 1Mbit connection is not fast enough for Wikipedia, as my 20MBit work connection doesn't have the same problem, finishing the jumping far quicker ...) Is there anything I can do to alleviate this bloody annoying problem? As I recall, the old toolbar had this exact same problem. The only difference was that it was so much smaller in code size that it wasn't nearly as noticeable, especially on a fast connection. The English Wikipedia implemented a solution that pre-set the height of the toolbar in CSS, so when it finally loaded, there would be no jump. More info about this trick: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=259876614#Jumping_edit_window. I'm not sure if the same trick can work for the new toolbar, as the new toolbar doesn't have a consistent height. The height fluctuates depending on which sub-modules have been expanded previously. This could probably be fixed by loading the toolbar earlier, though? MZMcBride ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

I believe I mentioned the advantage of using a format that would not be a php injection security vulnerability if we permitted to be updated on the fly. ie: Being able to instantly propagate batches of new translations from TranslateWiki to live sites. Perhaps allowing peer-reviewing of messages as a method of deciding how instantly to apply a message to live. Course as long as we make sure we don't have html injection vulns in our messages and we restrict changes of .js/.css messages. -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Re: [Wikitech-l] Announcing Ubuntu Ensemble, mediawiki community feedback requested
Ahmed Kamal wrote: Hi everyone, Thanks for contacting with us, Ahmed. This is Ahmed, I work for Ubuntu helping the cloud community. Ubuntu has been working on some hot technology, that aims to be apt-get for the cloud! Basically Install and manage large scale cloud deployments of web applications (and others) with the equivalent ease of apt-get install. The reason I'm posting this here, is because the very first use-case for this technology (called Ensemble) has been MediaWiki (yaay)! To get a feel for Ensemble, here is how you'd deploy a 4 machine Mediawiki installation DB - MediaWiki - memcached - HAproxy Loadbalancer -8- # Deploy machines ensemble deploy mysql wiki-db ensemble deploy mediawiki demo-wiki ensemble deploy memcached wiki-cache ensemble deploy haproxy wiki-balancer # Connect them together! ensemble add-relation wiki-db demo-wiki:db ensemble add-relation wiki-cache demo-wiki ensemble add-relation wiki-balancer:reverseproxy demo-wiki:website -8- Slashdotted? Want to scale out? You'd need something like ensemble add-unit wiki-cache ensemble add-unit demo-wiki Yes, it's that easy! Well, you still need to know that you need 4 machines and what is each of them. I first got confused thinking that they were packages on a single machine. So, when you add a second demo-wiki, how is the second mediawiki configured? A simple copy ? How are further changes synced? What about optional packages? If you are installing for a large scale cloud deployment of mediawiki you probably also want php-apc, or wikidiff2 extension. I see you are creating your own LocalSettings.php, but the way you are installing it is really ugly. I advance you that it will break in the new installer of MediaWiki 1.17 You will have an install.php cli script there, though. (i have to admit, it is really the fault of ubuntu package that it doesn't create the database or thatit leaves the tables broken on update) I recommend you to plan and test with 1.17 and tell us if you need some additional feature. It still could enter in the release, if it's simple enough. http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_17/phase3/ Cheers ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Further fixes for NewUserMessage: newusermessage contains the template name, so
we don't need to substitute that page ourselves and have it substituted by the
parser. Also fixed an {} that was being interpreted by PHP.
Comment:
According to the documentation it should use Welcome-heading and Welcome-body
in LQT mode and just Welcome in other environments. However it's still using
Template:Welcome-body on Commons (which does not have LQT)
Also, there's two line breaks before and after the templates causing a gap on
top of all pages. And a timestamp, which may or may not be good.

[Wikitech-l] LanguageConverter and searching with the incorrect keyboard layout
There's a problem which is familiar to people who use non-Latin alphabets in computers is that they sometimes forget to switch the keyboard layout and type a whole word or even a sentence of gibberish until they notice it. For example, people who use a Cyrillic keyboard may search Google for цшлшзувшф, when they actually meant to search for wikipedia, and vice versa - dbrbgtlbz when they meant википедия (that's wikipedia in Russian). The Google search engine is aware of it for a few years now and often automatically searches for the desired term in a DWIM manner. Wikipedia's own search engine is not aware of it yet. A user in the Hebrew Wikipedia had this idea: Maybe LanguageConverter can be used for it? Common keyboard layouts can be mapped to each other, like the two Serbian alphabet are mapped to each other today, and Special:Search is already aware of LanguageConverter. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace. - T.
