Hi there,
The coming CD version of the German wikipedia
(see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_auf_CD)
should include a list of authors for each article, as the GFDL requires.
I am not that good in SQL - can anybody help?
For each article a statement like this should be produced:
"This article has been edited X times by Y wikipedia users and Z times
by anonymous users: Foouser, Blauser, ...."
A table
All users should be listed - but not the IP-numbers of anonymous posts!
I thought of some SQL statements like (untested):
CREATE TABLE article_edit_count (
article VARCHAR(255) BINARY
edited_by_wikipedians INT UNSIGNED,
edited_with_IP INT UNSIGNED
);
CREATE TABLE has_edited (
user VARCHAR(255) BINARY,
article VARCHAR(255) BINARY
);
INSERT INTO has_edited
SELECT DISTINCT old_user_text AS user, old_title AS article
FROM old WHERE old_namespace=0
UNION
SELECT cur_user_text AS user, cur_title AS article
Well... but how to distingish anonymous and logged in users?
How can the authors be determined and how many hours/days does it take
to run the SQL statements? By the way on my notebook a simple query for
counting the number of links to each article, that I called 4 hours ago,
is still running and running :-(
Thanks,
Jakob

Sitting back and waiting is always the worse decision. :-)

Just saw the Wikipedia DTD, and stopped sitting back. ;-)

Hi all,
I have implemented the following feature in MediaWiki, which maybe
some might find interesting/useful -- "Personal Views". Basically, any
article page has a "Personal Views" page attached to it; on subpages
of the personal views page, User's can record their personal views of
the topic of the article.
So, for example, User:Foo can record their personal viewpoint on
Microsoft on the page Personal_Views:Microsoft/Foo, a page which only
User:Foo can edit. And by going to "Personal_Views:Microsoft", we can
see everyone's personal views on Microsoft.
Some questions:
1. Any comments on how I implemented this? Anything in adding a new
namespace I forget to do?
2. Can I add this to the CVS?
Also, since my changes are relatively small, it might serve as an
example of how to add a new namespace to WikiMedia. (Maybe I can turn
it into a tutorial...)
Cheers

Hello,
well, I don't know where to address this to, so I address it to this
mailing list in the hope that it will not be entirely wrong.
As I'm going to write some converter for wiki markup, I need a way to
interprete quotes ('). As this is something really not trivial, I
thought of copying the function doQuotes from the mediawiki software.
The Problem is the Licence: the function is licenced under the GPL, this
means, that my 'derivative work' has to be licenced under the GPL, too.
Well, I thought of publishing the source code, too, but I'm more a fan
of the Creative Commons licences
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/de/ in this case, to be
precise). But this creates trouble with the GPL, which makes it
impossible to use the CC licence.
Does someone know a solution of this problem?
Regards, Eckhart
Hi,
I was wondering if the interwikis could help wikipedians to focus on
missing articles in the editions. Let me explain
If an article has several interwikis, this might be an "indication" that
this lemma is valid. So my idea is to produce lists of articles that
follow this attributes:
* A list of English articles that do have x > {2,3,..} interwikis but
don't have an interwiki to de.
* A list of French articles that do have x > {2,3,..} interwikis but
don't have an interwiki to de.
and so on.
There are (imho) three possible main solutions for coming into that list:
* The article is still missing in de.wikipedia (fix: Write that article)
* The article existis but is not linked (fix: set up that interwiki)
* The article is split up for disambiguation
Is there an efficient way to produce that lists? Are there objections to
that thought? Does anyone think that there are easier ways to achieve
that result of bringing the editions closer to each other?

This script:
http://scireview.de/temp/404.php.txt
when used as an ErrorHandler 404 in httpd.conf will try to redirect URLs
like
http://en.wikipedia.org/Engine
to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine
(It skips over /wiki, /style and /upload and uses the standard 404 instead
for those.)
Any objections to putting it in use? Also, is there a way to quickly,
gracefully restart all our Apaches?
Regards,
Erik
Hi,
I am listed on this page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Developer as
having CVS accesss, which I did, but then I lost it (I accidentally
created two SF.net accounts, so my old one was deleted, which happened
to be the one my CVS access was under.) Could someone please re-add me
to the SF.net project and re-enable my CVS?
Thanks

Well, Talk pages are supposed to be discussion of the content of the
article, not discussion of the topic per se. Secondly, I supposed I
was interested in the possibilities for enabling MediaWiki to be used
for smaller communities that do more than just create an encyclopedia
(i.e. record information) but actually debate and discuss things. In
that context, seeing a list of people's personal views on a topic
might be interesting. And personal views can always be potentially
combined into an article (assuming that the view is sufficiently
common, or the person expressing the view is sufficiently important)
in that MediaWiki's universe (which might potentially follow a
different topic focus or POV rules from Wikipedia.)
Cheers
Simon

Can we add a robots="noindex" meta tag to the respective HTML source,
so that that tag will be included with EVERY article's edit page?

hi!
In de: we have a lot of articles on graph theory missing example images. Graphs
are also useful in other articles to visualize information. Editing images of
graphs with your favorite program and format is a consumption of time and nobody
can easily alter my images. We do have <math> and <hiero>-section. I'd like
editable graphs with <graph>...</graph>.
We could easily use the DOT-syntax and
[http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/ graphviz]
to create PNG-images or SVG. It's damn powerful and not that complicated!
Greetings,
Jakob
