I've granted root access on the machines to Jerome Jamnicky (jeronim on
IRC), he's done good work on the servers in recent weeks. I hope that's
OK.
Regards,
Erik

Personally, I think this whole thing is silly. I don't think there
should be a Wikipedia in Klingon, or Ferengi, or Pig-Latin, or any
other pseudo-language. (In the immortal words of William Shatner,
"Get a life!") If a few Trekkies want to start up a Klingon wiki,
they can download the MediaWiki software themselves and install it on
their own server. That's how I started the Disinfopedia. I didn't
need to ask anyone else for permission, because I didn't use anyone
else's resources (other than the software, which I thank the
Wikipedia community for giving away free).
Having said this, though, perhaps a few folks here will enjoy taking
a look at Google's language tools, which enable users to "Use the
Google Interface in Your Language," with choices including "Elmer
Fudd," "Pig Latin," "Esperanto," "Hacker," "Klingon" (of course), and
something called "Bork, bork, bork!" The URL is:
http://www.google.com/language_tools
Can we have a Wikipedia in Bork, bork, bork!, please? :-)

Please pardon me if this has been suggested before or if it already exists.
I am in love with Wikipedia. What I, as a fairly new Wikipedia user,
would find terribly helpful would be a Wikipedia Lookup Button for my
browser similar to what Merriam Webster has:
http://www.m-w.com/button/
1) I'm reading something on the web that I would like to know more about
2) I highlight the phrase or word that I want to look up in Wikipedia
3) I press the Wikipedia browser button
4) Boom! I'm taken right to the correct Wikipedia page
On the danish Wikipedia we have already localized everything into danish on the new MediaWiki 1.3, but a couple of hours ago all the newly introduced translations disappeared.
Please, whoever deleted them, put them back ASAP.

Hello.
As Med mentioned in a mail in reply to Magnus, he & I are working on a
project called 'wikirover' (exists on sourceforge, empty for now).
Not very advanced yet, but you never know :p
I think some people may be interested, so i'll try to explain what we
have in mind.
The aim will be, ultimately, to make an offline Wikipedia, that could
be distributed on CD/DVD/...
But not necessarily the whole encyclopedia, a subpart would do it
(sports? movies? you name it).
The core will be a C++ library. It'll have tools to store raw articles
(and history) in an sqlite database, parse'em to different formats
(html first, then maybe others). Also search capabilities.
Maybe classes to access articles from live Wikipedia, mysql server,
and/or database dump.
Then an application that'll actually display articles, from local
database. It'll use different raw articles sources, and merge that
(like: first download 'movie' database, then 'actors/actresses', it'll
merge & make correct links between topics). With also update
capability (from live Wikipedia? dump? why not :p), things like that
(basically, things you'd expect from a regular encyclopedia).
And, potentially, a tool to manage those theme-related bases.
We'll try to make it crossplatform (we can test on Linux & Windows).
Library will use platform independant code, applications probably
wxWidgets (depends, nothing is sure yet :p)

aa, ab, gu, and gv Wikipedias had symlinks going to the old version of
the script; also af had a link to the old style directory. I've pointed
them at the new files and they seem to work now.
