Re: [Wikitech-l] HtmlBuilder virus

2014-06-08 Thread Ricordisamoa

Yes, AFAIK every wiki uses the name HtmlBuilder.
When bug 62982 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62982 is 
resolved, it will be easy to go on a random wiki, search the string 
HtmlBuilder in all modules (ns-828), and make some semi-automated 
replacements as I did here 
https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=37142221diff=38218438.
However, since most of the transclusions come from other modules 
imported from the English Wikipedia, it will be wiser to wait for the 
original modules to be updated, and then simply re-import them on the 
'small' wikis. (Waiting for bug 50329 
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50329!)

Hi.

Thank you for starting this thread. In my experience, it's more helpful to
give people an actionable list of places where they can help. This also
establishes a clear goal, which people often respond better to. Assuming
every wiki uses the name HtmlBuilder, it shouldn't be too difficult to
iterate through the Wikimedia wikis to find wikis where this module still
has transclusions. This should provide a useful list of places for people
to help out, at which point the magical wiki process can take over. :-)

[Wikitech-l] HtmlBuilder virus

2014-06-06 Thread Ricordisamoa
The HtmlBuilder module virus, also known as HB-N1, which stemmed at the 
English Wikipedia, has infected many other sites: b:id:Modul:HtmlBuilder 
https://id.wikibooks.org/wiki/Modul:HtmlBuilder
Since the creation of the mw.html library 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#HTML_library, 
very few attempts to actually defeat it have been done.

We need your help. Spread this out to your wiki!

Sorry, is there some more context available? What does this virus
do? From where is it coming?

I believe it is an ironic call for action to move from scripted HtmlBuilder
to its native equivalent.
