[MediaWiki-l] Question regarding Edit Review Improvements

[Hanke Penning]

Hiho, everyone!

Please excuse my (maybe stupid) question regarding the Edit Review Improvements.

"Live Updates update the results of filtered changes every 3 seconds. This
feature helps people who overview recent changes. When not activated, a
time-stamped link "View new changes since $1" appears on top of the results to
invite the user to update the page."

Source:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:New_filters_for_edit_review/Live_updates

In my private MediaWiki installation no "View new changes since $1" on
RecentChanges is shown when Live Update is deactivated.

$wgStructuredChangeFiltersLiveUpdatePollingRate = 0;
does not change this.

I checked a few other 3rd party MediaWikis on the web. Also, no "View new
changes since $1" is shown.

What is my problem that the widget is not displayed? Am i missing any config
variable?


MediaWiki: 1.35.0
PHP: 7.3.27-1~deb10u1 (apache2handler)
MariaDB: 10.3.27-MariaDB-0+deb10u1
Lua: 5.1.5

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Question about deleteOldRevisions.php

[John]

That script doesn’t delete deleted revisions. It deletes revision history.
I would look at your database to compact/release space that has been freed

IIRC deleted article revisions go into the archive table, so it's this
table that will have entries removed by the script. deleteOldRevisions
*will* reduce the size of your database (assuming there were any deleted
revisions to delete).

[MediaWiki-l] Question about deleteOldRevisions.php

[Rowe (US), Dolores A]

I'm trying to reduce the size of a large text table in one of our mediawikis.
I ran the maintenance script deleteOldRevisions.php, but after I was done the 
text table was still
the same size.

What am I misunderstanding regarding the procedure ?  What does this indicate ?
thanks,
Lori

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Question / Custom Design / Tollbar

[Isarra Yos]

Timeless (on master, at least) uses css scroll-padding, which only works 
in the most up-to-date browsers (notably firefox and chrome at the 
moment). If you need to support older stuff, you'll probably need to 
come up with a js solution, unless you're sure you're not going to be 
using anything with styled anchors like Cite or the like (at which point 
various +padding/-margin anchor hacks and the like would do it more easily).

We have a Website that uses a Design with a sticky Toolbar on top of the

Navigation to reach some Anchor point the page jumps “to high” because it
does not “know” there is this sticky Toolbar and part of the Wiki Text is

For example the Timeless skin also has a sticky toolbar and there seems

[MediaWiki-l] Question / Custom Design / Tollbar

[Martin Nünning Bittop]

Hello @all,

 

I have a Problem with a custom Design of a Wiki. If this here is not the
right place for me to ask, please apologize. 

We have a Website that uses a Design with a sticky Toolbar on top of the
page. Integration is fine but if you click on a link inside the Page
Navigation to reach some Anchor point the page jumps “to high” because it
does not “know” there is this sticky Toolbar and part of the Wiki Text is
hidden behind.

Could anybody give an advice how to tell the Wiki to leave a Space of maybe
100px to the top of the page when jumping?  Or any other helpful  Idea? 

 

Kind Regards

 

Martin

No, it is just not possible to disable API access any longer through the
switches wgEnableAPI and wgEnableWriteAPI. It's simply always on now.

Dear Group,

When I look at this web page:  
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableWriteAPI, it seems to indicate to
me that MediaWiki will no longer have an internal API available after version 
1.31.0.

Am I understanding that correctly ?  At that point, what would you do if you 
had some pages that you wanted to edit
automatically via an API ??

[MediaWiki-l] Question on files comments

[Jeremi Plazas]

Hey there,

We are using a bot to upload images to a wiki. It would seem that when we 
decide to upload a “new version” of a particular file (importing a new file 
over an existing file), mediawiki keeps the original “Comments” (Categories and 
the like…) that were specified in the original upload, even if new categories 
were specified in the latest upload. See the following link for what I mean:

http://terdzod.tsadra.org/index.php/File:RTZ-Tsagli-KA-02-kar_gling_zhi_khro-04.jpeg

Notice that the latest upload had a Category:Tsaglis added to it. But somehow 
that category isn’t enabled or active. 

Any clues? Any default setting in MW that keeps the original comments? Can it 
be changed? Or does it probably have to do with the custom bot we’re using?

Thanks so much,

[MediaWiki-l] Question about interwiki transcluding.

[Jeremi Plazas]

Does anyone know of more up to date methods for transcoding content from 
another wiki?

Also, does anyone have experience transcoding content from a “private” wiki 
(behind a firewall) onto a public wiki?

FYI: I have checked out scary transcluding using interwiki extension.

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Question about Flow diff

Interesting. That definitely didn't work earlier. I wonder if there was a
caching issue.

I am aware of the purpose of this list, and my question pertained to a
MediaWiki feature (Flow). And I currently can't log in to WMF sites due to
a temporary issue on my end.

Thanks,

Pine, your contributions appear as expected, in your contribs, in the topic
history, and in the page history.
http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1469597585.png I tested
logged-in and logged-out.

In the future, I suggest asking questions like this onwiki, at the main
feedback page, if you're not sure where to put them.

Continuing my puzzlement, the direct link to the Flow topic doesn't work.
Try this instead:

Why do my Flow edits not appear in my contribution history?

[MediaWiki-l] Question about Flow diff

[Pine W]

I have a question as a novice Flow user.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Pine doesn't show that
I edited this page:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:T869nwy7v5hih5k1&action=history.
Is it normal for Flow comments not to appear in edit histories?

We are considering also using a separate namespace for archiving purpose, but
the main reason why we don't like it is that the content of the archived pages
is not hidden, and thus links from archived pages would pollute other pages'
backlinks and some special pages (e.g. Special:MostLinkedPages).

A Wikimedia project has a notion of archiving pages. This is done by manually 
adding an {{archive}} tag and manually protecting them.

Is there some merit in using a separate namespace for old pages? Can namespace 
automatically impose a level of protection?

[MediaWiki-l] Question about disclosing Special:Undelete for regular users

[Jakub Klinkovský]

We are reconsidering our strategy for archiving outdated pages on ArchWiki [1],
see [2] for the full discussion if interested. Currently, we don't do any
archiving, we simply delete obsolete pages (after being flagged with
'Template:Out of date' or 'Template:Deletion' for some time of course).

I would like to ask a question regarding one of the suggestions, which is to
make Special:Undelete [3] available for everybody (by assigning
'deletedhistory', 'deletedtext' and 'browsearchive' rights to all groups). This
is the most simple, but also most controversial way to solve our problem. The
main question is regarding security, because obviously this feature is intended
for administrators only.

The only bad implication we could think of is if somebody creates a defamatory
page and we delete it, we wouldn't be able to prevent anyone from linking to
the deleted revision(s) and thus exposing the wiki to possible legal
consequences. However, the same attack could be carried out on an already
existing useful article, and the same fix could be used in both cases, i.e.
using the RevisionDelete [4] feature. 

We would also appreciate any other comments on why this is a good/bad idea,
suggestions of another archiving solution etc.

Lahwaacz (ArchWiki admin)

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Question about the search engine (Vol 129, Issue 27)

[Rea Iseli]

Hm, in my Wiki it highlights nothing..
The problem is, that my mediawiki is stored on synology, and i'm not shure if 
ElasticSearch works on a NAS. 
So if you would have an other solution it would be great? :D Otherwise i hope 
that mediawiki adds this settings soon!
Thx alot!

If you want a really nice search I suggest setting up CirrusSearch because
it should be easier to set up then the other options.  And, if it doesn't
work for you I can help.

Sorry thats kind of a non-answer.

[MediaWiki-l] Question about the search engine

[Rea Iseli]

Hi everybody,

I'm using Mediawiki and want that the searchmatches are displayed bold. I found 
the css code .searchmatch { font-weigth: bold; }, when i looked with firebug at 
an other mediawiki side who had this option and saw that the diffrence with 
mine is - that the searchmatches are not marked as searchmatches.
I use the vector skin. How can i enable that option?

The other question is, how can i make that the class mw-search-result-data only 
displays the date, without the bytes, words and the time?

Thx alot for your answers!

Kind regards,
Rea

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Question regarding modifying a wiki sidebar menu

[Shirley Hicks]

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks in advance for any advice and assistance.

I was attempting to customize our wiki's sidebar menu for the first time. I've 
now successfully done this (wiki.redmountainmakers.org (1.19.11), beta (1.22.6) 
with further tests and finetuning of extensions at 
wiki.backup.redmountainmakers.org via the MediaWiki:Sidebar page (took a little 
while to figure this out).

Would now like (if possible) to add dynamic content based on user group.

Hi Shirley  Perhaps you could better explain what exactly you are trying to 
accomplish? You stated dynamically, which to me (and probably others) mean 'on 
the fly' or based on content of the page, user group, date, etc...   Chris 
pointed you at Mediawiki:Sidebar which is how you would build the static 
sidebar (same on every page / even SpecialPages).   Now you are using the word 
responsive, which to me would reference mobile/media screen adjustments to 
layout. Flow or layout?  Sorry, just trying to understand what exactly you are 
looking to find.   Tom



Yeah - have found that and dug in. Haven't quite got the divisions working in 
the responsive manner that I'd like to use through brute force.

Am drilling down through the wiki documentation to figure out how to add 
dynamically relevant link lists to the navigation sidebar.
Have identified the divs and the mark-up (thanks Chrome element inspector) but 
for the life of me, can't find the php script, css or html
mark-up that holds the content.  

Can someone throw me a cluebrick and tell me where to look?

Sounds like something you could do with a gadget. Take HotCat and make a

Ive been doing some searching and I cannot find any basic extensions for
checklists. The closest I have seen is semantic forms which is a megalithic
extension requiring other extensions. How hard would it be to create an
extension that lets a user add/remove items, reorder them, and
check/uncheck them?

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Question regarding extensions to use for site security

[Alex Monk]

I find that an abuse filter (through the AbuseFilter extension) that simply
forces new users trying to add links to confirm their edit works quite well.

[MediaWiki-l] Question regarding extensions to use for site security

[Shirley Hicks]

Good evening everyone,
First post from a newbie.

I'm relatively new to wikis, currently administering my second one ever on 
behalf of the Red Mountain Makers, http://wiki.redmountainmakers.org.
I just completed a rather large spam cleanup, caused by our failure to install 
security and anti-spam extensions.

Ended up doing it the way that specifically MediaWiki specifically advises 
against, editing the user and page tables, as the volume was really, really 
high.
The wiki database is now knocked back down to a reasonable size, but I'm 
wondering what extensions and tactics users of MediaWiki 1.19.7 find the most 
useful for controlling spam?

I've installed and configured the bad-behavior, SpamBlackList, ConfirmAccount, 
Nuke & UserAdmin extensions. The User Admin script is broken and I haven't yet 
started to trace that to see if I can fix it to work with this wiki version.

Advice? Ideas?

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Question about submitting follow-up patchset in Gerrit

[Nischay Nahata]

If you are working on the same branch from which you submitted the patch
earlier the following works:

'git commit --amend'  - to amend the change

'git review'  -to submit it to gerrit as a new patchset.

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Question mark after every link?

[Nicola Ferrari (#554252)]

Hi guys, thanks to everybody for the replies.
My mediawiki installation's version is 1.20.3, and I can't find the 
"highlightbroken" preference neither in LocalSettings.php or 
DefaultSettings.php .


Should I add it somewhere and set it to "1"??

It's a clean install, it has been working for some days, than I made 
some mistaken edit to LocalSettings.php and I had to replace it. Now the 
two above files was taken from the just downloaded archive...


Thanks in advance.
Nick

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Question mark after every link?

[Amir E. Aharoni]

Hi Nicola,

You probably got the highlightbroken preference changed somehow. When
set to 0, it shows red links with a question mark. It was not very
useful, so support for it was removed in MediaWiki 1.20 if I'm not
mistaken. If you have an older version, you need to get it set to 1 by
default.

In general, you are not supposed to edit DefaultSettings.php for
making local customizations, but LocalSettings.php.

[MediaWiki-l] Question mark after every link?

[Nicola Ferrari (#554252)]

Hi guys. I had to restore my DefaultSettings.php file for some reasons, 
and now, I'm having a strange problem..


Almost every link has a question mark (?) at the end.
e.g. username link in the top right bottom after logging in, is 
"username?" and the "my topics" link is "mytopics?"


Also every category link gives the same problem..
Instead of seeing a red link with "Category" as in the past, now I see a 
black link "Category?" and only the ? is red.

But actually, links are working correctly...

Why?
Any suggestion on how to solve?

Thanks to everybody :)

[Mediawiki-l] question about "Unused files"

[Bertram Simon]

Hi,

I have a question about "Unused files".

We build a business wiki with MediaWiki 1.81. We have created ~250
articles and link a lot of pdfs.

The syntax is: *[[:Datei:example.pdf|Example file]]

When I choose on "Special pages" the item "Unused files", all these
files are shown. When I look at the file usage,I read: "There are no pages
that link to this file."


I thougt, all these files should be listed, because they are linked on
several pages. Am I wrong?

Greetings from germany

[Mediawiki-l] question about user input on a WIKI page for database access

[Dan Dansereau]

Hello All 

I have MediawWiki 1.16.5 installed on a CENTOS 5.0 box and using
postgres 9.0.3 as the database. 

Unfortunately behind a secured system that I cannot give you access to. 

I have a very simple question - that I cannot find the correct answer
and have produced a very simple example

Given a Wiki Markup Page as follows...

Showing Zip Data for a test



ZipCode

PostOffice

Latitude

Longitude

{{#apGetLine:

zipcode

|zipcode

|84332

|zipcode

|postoffice

|lat

|lon

}}



end of page


How would one take the 84332 and put it in a variable that the user is
prompted for, 

or enters in a form just before the database query is done?

This is the database search key 

 

Thank you very much

To create a page:

1. Type the title into the search box.
2. When the search page says there's no such page, you will see a red link to

You might need to be logged into the wiki first. (This is true for Wikipedia,

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Question about page protection

[Adam Meyer]

I actually used the snoopy class before there was a usable API to do a lot of 
what the API does. It is propably not the best way to go about it, as it will 
actually act as a user, login and all, and modify the page in some way. You 
could actually have it protect the page, and confirm it.

I used to use it to create pages for me, and even upload tons of images. - Now 
most of that can be done pretty easily with extensions and all.


http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy/

Best of luck.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Question about page protection

[Vadtec]

Adam,

Thanks for the response. I haven't heard of the snoopy class, so I will look
into that.

Yes, I do agree that if I am editing the page it is easiest to just click
protect and move on. The idea is, I want the tag itself to protect the page
(probably via an option) so that I can drop it on my wiki and not have to do it
manually. This really is more an exercise in getting comfortable with MediaWiki
extension writing, as I will most likely end up writing more. There is a project
I will be working on in the next few weeks that would benefit greatly from such
an ability, so maybe I can work something out. I'll be sure to post on the list
if I do.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Question about page protection

[Adam Meyer]

Im really not sure.

But upi may be able to protect pages through the API. If that is true, you 
could make an extension.
The problem is that the protect page comment requires admin access. So I guess 
you could have it access the page as you or a bot and protect the page.

If you know PHP, you can also use the snoopy class to act as a bot and protect 
the page.


If you are in the page editing it to add the extension/template... couldn't you 
just then protect the page? (may be less time than making a new extension)

[Mediawiki-l] Question about page protection

[Vadtec]

I've posted this question twice before without so much as a courtesy response of
"Sorry, we don't know." I'd really appreciate some help with this, as I have not
been able to track down any information on protecting pages (aside from "click
protect at the top of the page") and asking in the IRC chan on freenode usually
goes unanswered as well.



Greetings all,

Is it possible for an extension to set a page as "protected"? I have a tag that
displays help info for my extension, I'd like to drop it in a page, and have the
tag set the page as protected via a parameter. The idea is to allow the tag to
display its output but have the page be protected from editing.

Thanks for any advice, much appreciated.

So I should be ok doing:

return $parser->recursiveTagParse( htmlspecialchars($text) );

Thanks for the info. I figured it wasn't XSS safe, thus I erred on the side of
caution.

Yes it's safe, as long as there are no unsafe extensions, $wgRawHtml
is false, and you have the latest version of MediaWiki. Or to put it
another way, if there was an XSS vulnerability in it, there would be
one in the ordinary editing interface too.

Note that wikitext markup is allowed, so it's often best to call
wfEscapeWikiText() on user input that you pass to recursiveTagParse()
to avoid unintended formatting.

The output of a tag hook is HTML and needs to be escaped. For example
this:

return "" .
   $parser->recursiveTagParse( $args['text'] ) . "";

is an XSS vulnerability. But this:

return Xml::openElement( 'div', array( 'class' => $args['class'] ) ) .
$parser->recursiveTagParse( $args['text'] ) . "";

is not.

[Mediawiki-l] Question about recursiveTagParse()

Greetings all,

I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list to be posting this question to,
so if I should be posting to mediawiki-api, please let me know. (I think I'm in
the right spot though.)

I have a question about recursiveTagParse(). Is it XSS safe? As in, do I need to
escape its output with htmlspecialchars() or does it take care of that for me?

I am writing a tag extension, and I need it to be able to parse wiki text. I
have followed the instructions at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tag_extensions#Version_1.8_to_version_1.15
(I am running MW 1.15.4), but it doesn't specify if the output is XSS safe or 
not.

Erring on the side of caution, I have pre-escaped all of my user supplied
variables with htmlspecialchars(), but if I could avoid this step it would be
wonderful, both for the simplicity of coding and performance.

Thanks for any advice you can offer, it's much appreciated.

Those are used by the skins automatically. They aren't "installed" for

Hi,
I've honestly tried looking through the doc and I can't figure out which
page I should be looking at to help me answer this question:
There's a number of icons installed in MW - for example in
$IP/skins/common/images/ - and I'd like to use them, but I don't know how to
reference them in wikitext.
Does MW look in all these directories by default?  Do I have to specify
exactly where the image lives?
Is there a specific manual page describing this stuff?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To: mediawiki-l-ow...@lists.wikimedia.org


Hello,

I am one of the editors of a privately hosted wiki page.  I am quite fond of
the redirect syntax that allows me to easily improve the search-ability of
the contained wiki.  However, a partner group has recently granted editorial
access to me and viewing access to the people in my group.  What I would
like to do is start redirecting our pages to their pages but there does not
seem to be a way of doing this.

Is there a way to do this?  Or would it be possible for you to develop a
method for doing this, as I am sure that I would not be the only one to find
this functionality appealing.  Also it would be nice to be able to redirect
to any webpage.

Please email me back.

Ethan Kibe

This is a security and bugfix release of MediaWiki 1.15.2.

Two security issues were discovered:

A CSS validation issue was discovered which allows editors to display external 
images in wiki pages. This is a privacy concern on public wikis, since a 
malicious user may link to an image on a server they control, which would allow 
that attacker to gather IP addresses and other information from users of the 
public wiki. All sites running publicly-editable MediaWiki installations are 
advised to upgrade. All versions of MediaWiki (prior to this one) are affected.

A data leakage vulnerability was discovered in thumb.php which affects wikis 
which restrict access to private files using img_auth.php, or some similar 
scheme. All versions of MediaWiki since 1.5 are affected.

Deleting thumb.php is a suitable workaround for private wikis which do not use 
$wgThumbnailScriptPath or $wgLocalRepo['thumbScriptUrl'].
Alternatively, you can upgrade to MediaWiki 1.15.2 or backport the patch below 
to whatever version of MediaWiki you are using.

MediaWiki is not compatible with PHP 5.3.1 due to a bug in that release, which 
is fixed in PHP 5.3.2. This release of MediaWiki will refuse to upgrade if an 
affected version of PHP is present. Note that local or distribution-specific 
backports of the PHP bug fix are supported. See http://bugs.php.net/50394 for 
details.

Betreff: [Mediawiki-l] Question on Extension:User Merge and Delete

Teammates,

I installed the v1.5 Extension:User Merge and Delete on a Windows MediaWiki.

The description of the extension
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete),
say that it creates a log.

 *   Extension now (since 1.2) creates a User Merge log and logs all User
Merge extension activity.

Does anyone know where it places the log on your system ?  I couldn't find a
log.

Or did I misunderstand ?  I do get some outputs returned on the MediaWiki
results page of the Merge/Delete.

thanks,
Lori

[Mediawiki-l] Question about Forms Capability

[Rowe, Dolores A]

Teammates,

I have some users which would like to implement forms capability for their 
mediawiki.
We are using mediawiki 1.13.5.

What would be the best way to go to implement this capability ?
What is working for you ?  What is the current recommendation ?

thanks,

I don't know your requirements, but probably you should look at Semantic

[Mediawiki-l] Question to database experts: how not to suppress log event listing in a (modified) recent changes view?

[Thomas Gries]

I need to list only the recent change of each article, and suppress 
older changes. This is solved by the extension funciton below.

An unwanted side-effect of my query condition is however that the log 
data is also suppressed, but I want to see the log data.

Question to the database experts:

How can I amend the query condition so that log data is not suppressed 
in the recent changes view?

function onlyRecentRecentChanges( &$conds, &$tables, &$join_conds, 
$opts,  &$query_options  =  array()  )  {

   if ( !in_array( 'page', $tables) ) $tables[] = 'page';
   $conds[]  =  'rc_this_oldid=page_latest'; /* What needs to be added 
here ?*/
   return  true;

}
$wgHooks['SpecialRecentChangesQuery'][] = 'onlyRecentRecentChanges';

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Question about how to get admin access

[Christensen, Courtney]

Hi Claus,

Another answer, I think, would be to use the maintenance/createAndPromote.php 
script.  I'm pretty sure if you have command line access to the wiki that will 
make you a new admin user.

The real way to do maintenance actions is of course by using eval  
interface:

flu:phase3 midom$ php maintenance/eval.php
 > User::newFromName("Eviluser")->addGroup("sysop");

Logout, login, here you are.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Question about how to get admin access

[Jan Luca]

Hi,

Run in mysql:

INSERT INTO `{$PREFIX}_user_groups` (
`ug_user` ,
`ug_group`
)
VALUES (
'{USER_ID, you get in the table `{$PREFIX}_user`}', 'sysop'
);

INSERT INTO `{$PREFIX}_user_groups` (
`ug_user` ,
`ug_group`
)
VALUES (
'{USER_ID, you get in the table `{$PREFIX}_user`}', 'bureaucrat'
);

Now you should can use the page "Special:UserRights" in your wiki.

Viele Grüße
Jan

Betreff: [Mediawiki-l] Question about how to get admin access

Hello,

I am new to MediaWiki and couldn't find the answer to my problem in the
docs. Maybe I was just blind but I hope someone here can help me.

I have to manage a MediaWiki installation that has already bin in place for
a while. 
I have to add an user with admin rights, for example to change the
navigation on the very left.
Currently there seems to be no admin user (or sysop). 
I have root access to the file system and the MySQL db. 
In the user table there is only one entry for myself and in the user_groups,
there are no entries at all.

Is there a way to add a user with all admin rights without doing a new
installation? There is a lot of content in the wiki already.

any help very welcome!

Claus

[Sam.Sexton]

If you add entries to your user_groups table for yourself as bureaucrat and 
sysop, that should do the trick.

[Mediawiki-l] question about fresh installation

[Tim Daschner]

Hello folks,

 

I am installing mediawiki on a windows vista machine (don't ask why vista)
with apache, mod php and all the good stuff. I have a virtual host pointing
at a folder which contains the unzipped mediawiki folder. As per
instructions, I go to config/index.php, I see the big form to enter db
passwords, admin passwords etc. When I hit the install button, however, I
get a authentication dialog box asking for some user id and password for my
apache digest realm. Wheres that coming from? What should be the user id and
password here? I cannot go any further because, I basically don't know whats
the user id and password.

 

What did I miss? Thanks in advance!

 

Best,

Tim

Are you using a LAMP stack?  If so, I think you follow the directions for using 
Mod rewrite as described on this page: 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL
I feel like they will have the example you are asking for, but it shouldn't be 
too hard to extrapolate from those given.
