Hi,
I have made an extension called AllTimeZones [1] that lets anyone put up
dates in a page in all Timezone formats.
I think it will be especially useful for admins when announcing a meeting
rather than the current usage I saw at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Events (using the Template:UTC with
local time link) as I don't like the idea of opening a new website just to
check my local time.
Reedy already suggested to make the zones in UTC format (I am still working
at it), any other comments are most welcome.
The UI really needs some work IMHO. You can see its screenshot at [2].

Hi.
I am writing a tool for analyzing vandalism and I have difficulties
with revdeleted revisions, because they are not available using API.
I have pushed a chunk of code for review
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,4658 to get some feedback. More
information is available in the commit message. I would like to know
if this is correct way before I start changing next modules.
Regards,

The "pluggable" part sounds great, as long as it isn't JSON-centric. I could see a need for XML or even SQL adaptors.
It would be great if namespaces, subpages, or even regexp title matches could trigger a particular content rendering. For example, I have LOTS of pages that contain identical wikitext in order to access SQL data, using subpages:
{{plant used for|{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}
This simply fires off an identical template for each subpage, passing in the SUBPAGENAME, which then is used as a query term to display a page of structured data. For example:
http://www.EcoReality.org/wiki/Plant_used_for/Adaptogen
I've also got LOTS of pages with "{{plant needs|{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}", "{{plant supplies|{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}", etc., not to mention pages like "{{annual harvest for|...}}" and "{{monthly harvest for|...}}".
I seem to have LOTS of templates whose name ends with "for" that take one argument and that display data. I've often thought "there should be an easier way..." I played with SMW for a bit, but couldn't easily bend it to my needs.
Is this the sort of use you had in mind?

I'm particularly proud of this widget, and I'd love to share it with
everyone:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Badon#HTML5_video_and_subtitles_widget
I'm a big fan of image annotation for MediaWiki, and I was wondering if it
could be done with videos. This is a pretty good step in the right
direction. We get not only videos, but multi-lingual subtitles for the
videos too (or annotations, if that's what you want to call them). Anyone
can update or add more subtitles, in whatever languages they speak.
I'm pretty sure there's a few bugs in that widget, but I've tested it enough
to be confident that it should work reasonably well. Let me know if you
notice anything seriously wrong with it, and also if you have your own
tweaks to add. It's got a fair bit of "polish" that I've put into it, based
on my previous MediaWiki template programming experience and lessons, but
I'm sure there's ways it can be improved further.
Thanks to all Widget extension contributors that made this possible!

Hi,
I have created a wiki without user registration enabled.
How do I (re)enable and disable user registration ?
Also how do I sign up new users on a restricted access wiki with no user
self registration ?
Many thanks in advance,
Aaron
If you administer a MediaWiki installation and use it as a conference
website when you host conferences and conventions, you might be
interested in this suggested summer project:

No skilled MediaWiki administrators or developers have shown interest in
mentoring this project, so right now it's unlikely to progress. If you
think you could mentor him this summer, please reply to me and cc him at
chughakshay16(a)gmail.com . Mentoring takes about five hours a week
(communication, code review, design help, and so on).
(He is applying to participate in Wikimedia Foundation's Google Summer
of Code program -- details at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2012/management#GSoC_manageme…

Wondering if anyone knows how to request rss feed with basic auth ?
I'm using the RSS extension. I've tried using
"http://user:pass@myserver.com/wiki/feed" but it doesn't work.

Perhaps there is a better way, but we use phpMyAdmin to insert a new record in the mw_user table, then tell the user to type in their name and click "send me a new password."
You need only enter the user_name and user_email fields using this technique.
