 @dan: the particular less isn't very powerful issues I'm concerned about
 are the ones solved by compass.  As is well-known, there is no equivalent
 to compass for less, and is not likely every to be, since less can not
 express the transformations required.  Compass uses ruby code to do this w/
 sass.  For example,
 https://github.com/chriseppstein/compass/blob/stable/lib/compass/sass_extensions/functions/gradient_support.rbis
 the code in compass in order to generate clean gradient specifications
 that work with all major browsers (including synthesizing SVG background
 images where required).  (Spec in
 http://compass-style.org/reference/compass/css3/images/ ).  Now, maybe we
 don't actually need all that power.  But the automatic cross-browser
 compatibility it allows sure is nice...

As Ori pointed out, these could be implemented as Less functions in PHP land.

However note that (for me) one the reasons I prefer Less over Sass with Compass 
is that it allows more fine-grained control over browser support and doesn't 
take the insane approach of trying to support everything and leaving you with 
very minimal options to switch things off.

For example, in the of older browsers supporting SVG background-image but not 
CSS3 gradients, I'd say just drop that and only provide CSS3 gradient + vendor 
prefixed versions thereof and have it fallback for the rest. You're gonna have 
to provide that fallback anyway for browsers that support neither CSS3 or SVG.

Optimise for the future, not for the past (those browsers are getting smaller 
in usage). It's not worth it to generate and serve that SVG to all clients.

 Ok, we've had another round of review and updates, and it sounds like
 people are pretty content with the functionality and the conventions we're
 coming up with around LESS usage; and I don't hear many strong objections.

 If there's no last-minute surprises from anybody, I'll drop the +2 hammer
 on the core support https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/78669/ later
 today, and folks can start using it.


There were a couple of suggestions to expand the inline documentation for

recommend merging it in tandem with

[Wikitech-l] Categories without interwiki

2013-09-22 Thread Amir Ladsgroup
Hello,
Persian Wikipedia is one of the largest wikis based on number of categories
but It's not very common that people consider adding interwiki of
categories (they think interwiki is just for articles) so we have tons of
tons (before writing my engine that was 30K out of 170K) categories without
any interwikis which is really bad. I wrote some codes to make it better
but It wasn't enough So I wrote an engine that gets two database: 1-list of
categories without interwiki 2-list of categories with interwiki to a
certain language (e.g. English) with the target interwiki and after that my
bot analyzes and guess what is the correct interwiki of category based on
patterns of naming them in the second database
and bot reports. After running this code on fa.wp there was a very huge
report [1] and we started to sort things out (merging duplicates [2],
deleting extra ones, adding the correct iw) and now it's less than 25K
categories without interwikis (and It's becoming less and less) we did the
same on templates namespace [3] and we interwikified more than 10K
templates after that.

And because this engine doesn't use any language-related analyses It can be
ran in any language and get interwiki from any language (we planned to run
this on Persian Wikipedia again but this time we use Dutch and German
languages as repo of interwiki)

So here is my question: Is there similar situation in your wiki? Do you
want to run this code in your wiki too? Do you have any suggestion?

In a similar way I have asked several times what the point is of interwiki
links for disambiguation pages.. The only answer I got was along the lines

In Persian Wikipedia, there is another engine that adds categories in
articles based on usage of them in English Wikipedia and in order to
avoid mistakes that engine uses a pretty damn complicated algorithm
that I have no clue what's that but It's working properly in Persian

Hi Amir -

I have a different question.  Why is it in the interests of Fawiki to use
the same categorization system as any other project?  I ask this because I
know that almost every Wikipedia has variations in the way that it
categorizes articles and other pages, and there is not really a cross-wiki
standard - nor would I expect one.  Categorization is more or less in the
same realm as defining notability, determining neutral point of view, and
Manuals of Style:  while philosophically we are very similar across all the
Wikipedias, each project has a slightly different way of addressing these
situations.

I'd suggest that the issue isn't really a technical problem, it's more a
cultural one.  That is, Wikipedia community cultures have developed
categorization systems slightly differently, so it is unlikely that any one
will be a perfect match for another.

Hello,
Persian Wikipedia is one of the largest wikis based on number of
  categories
but It's not very common that people consider adding interwiki of
categories (they think interwiki is just for articles) so we have
 tons
  of
tons (before writing my engine that was 30K out of 170K) categories
  without
any interwikis which is really bad. I wrote some codes to make it
  better
but It wasn't enough So I wrote an engine that gets two database:
  1-list of
categories without interwiki 2-list of categories with interwiki to a
certain language (e.g. English) with the target interwiki and after
  that my
bot analyzes and guess what is the correct interwiki of category
  based on
patterns of naming them in the second database
and bot reports. After running this code on fa.wp there was a very
 huge
report [1] and we started to sort things out (merging duplicates [2],
deleting extra ones, adding the correct iw) and now it's less than
 25K
categories without interwikis (and It's becoming less and less) we
 did
  the
same on templates namespace [3] and we interwikified more than 10K
templates after that.
   
And because this engine doesn't use any language-related analyses It
  can be
ran in any language and get interwiki from any language (we planned
 to
  run
this on Persian Wikipedia again but this time we use Dutch and German
languages as repo of interwiki)
   
So here is my question: Is there similar situation in your wiki? Do
 you
want to run this code in your wiki too? Do you have any suggestion?

[Wikitech-l] IRC meeting for RFC review

2013-09-22 Thread Tim Starling
I would like to have an open IRC meeting for RFC review, on Tuesday 24
September at 22:00 UTC (S.F. 3pm).

We will work through a few old, neglected RFCs, and maybe consider a
few new ones, depending on the interests of those present.

The IRC channel will be #mediawiki-rfc.

 Does it work outside Wikipedia too? I'd like to run it on some wikiquotes;
 seeing what categories exist in a language but not another is very useful
 to find out what's going on in the project(s).

Re: [Wikitech-l] Categories without interwiki

2013-09-22 Thread Amir Ladsgroup
Hi,
Persian Wikipedia uses the same system of categorization but not the same
categories, If I want to give you an example, categories related to Iran
are more deeper and better organized than the English ones but the system
is the same

 Hi Amir -

 I have a different question.  Why is it in the interests of Fawiki to use
 the same categorization system as any other project?  I ask this because I
 know that almost every Wikipedia has variations in the way that it
 categorizes articles and other pages, and there is not really a cross-wiki
 standard - nor would I expect one.  Categorization is more or less in the
 same realm as defining notability, determining neutral point of view, and
 Manuals of Style:  while philosophically we are very similar across all the
 Wikipedias, each project has a slightly different way of addressing these
 situations.

 I'd suggest that the issue isn't really a technical problem, it's more a
 cultural one.  That is, Wikipedia community cultures have developed
 categorization systems slightly differently, so it is unlikely that any one
 will be a perfect match for another.
