--- Comment #10 from Pete Forsyth (WMF) <[email protected]> 2010-05-28 17:40:12 UTC --- For future reference, I (finally) emailed TheDJ on May 26 -- I'm pasting the text below: Hi TheDJ, I'm not sure if you know Roan Kattouw, a developer who works with us at the Wikimedia Foundation. I recently asked him to help me install HotCat on a private wiki we use. (I'm not very good with technical configuration!) He tried to install it, but he told me there was an issue with HotCat's design that prevents it from working on private wikis, and that I should check with you to see if it could be changed. (I'll quote his exact words below): Second, HotCat uses JSON callbacks even to query data on the same domain. This is completely unnecessary (no cross-domain restrictions apply, so callbacks aren't needed and AJAX can be used instead) but does break on private wikis because callbacks always operate as anonymous users. Does what he says make sense? If so, is it something that you could change? If you have technical questions, it might be best to direct them directly to Roan [[User:Catrope]]. It would make a big difference for us here, and presumably on any number of other private MediaWiki installations!
