Hi all!
I believe that for anonymous users, the interface language should be
chosen based on their Accept-Language. I think the required code is
simple, see the attached diff for a basic sketch that seems to work
(really only basic, some issues are ignored, e.g. when a new user is
created, his default preferred language should be set to
Accept-Language, too).
There are some further issues that should be considered -- e.g. what
about Main_Page/Hauptseite/...? What to do with a user preferring some
language not supported on the wiki? (Should there be some local
setting with a list of supported languages?) Etc.
But I would like to know -- what do you think about the idea? (My
initial thought was about the Commons -- users from many Wikipedias go
there, only to find that, seemingly, the site is English-only. But
their language is just a few clicks away; unfortunately, the clicks
have to go through the English interface.)

The English article on PHP has been subject to some strange spam over
the past week. We're reverting the article quickly and blocking
spammers as we see them, but it's coming from many different IP
addresses, probably trojaned hosts from all over the world. It seems
to be an automated process and unfortunately the spambot makes about
10-20 edits over the course of a few minutes. It doesn't even link to
working sites, most of the advertised sites have already been taken
down.
But since we're still getting hit, could we add some domains to the
spam filter please? Here are the commonly spammed domains:
6x.to
uni.cc
grozny.su
tuva.su

Other technical solutions would also be appreciated. Thanks,

Hi, this is my first posting so bear with me if I am asking something dumb.
I am studing a BSc Hons degree in Computer Science at University of Ulster,
so I am using the networked PCs in University. The is my first attempt at
installing my own Wiki.
I am following the document http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_on_a_stick
as I cannot install it on any particular PC in university, so need it to be
portable.
I want to install my own Wiki on a 256MB memory drive. But I'm stuck. An
help would be appreciated!! I am stuck at the section Configure The Wiki -
Initial Wiki Configuration.
I am at the stage of starting the web and database servers by running the
start.bat file in the folder UniServer3_2. Is that all i have to do? I don't
understand the bit about start.bat w mysql in the document. Running the
batch file does open the web browser re-direct page, but then when I try to
open localhost/wi/config/index.php I just get "Page cannot be found" error
message.
Any ideas? I've checked for log files for any clues, as suggested by
troubleshooting section, but they haven't been created yet.
Also I am not sure about the HTTP TCP Port section and how to check if
another Apache.exe is running(both referred to in the document).
Thanks in advance,
Alison
Albert seems to be connected to the internal network on a 100Mbps link;
the backup files are stored on yongle, and accessed over NFS through
that link.
Fast, disk-intensive things like making the image tarballs or md5sum'ing
the database dumps saturate the line; the apaches have to fight for
traffic on that same line trying to load images from albert's NFS server
when rendering pages... which leads to waits, hangs, and general suckiness.
If we run the backup process on yongle (or move the actual dump files
used?) maybe it'll work better... and/or if that 100Mbps link is
supposed to be gigabit, we need to figure out why it's at the wrong speed.

I apologize for the delay - we are in the midst of launching a bunch of
other projects around here.
I have created the mediawiki-agora sf project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mediawiki-agora/
Please email me your sf id if you have any interest in developing here.
The idea behind this collective is to let anyone developer who is interested
become a contributor so we can begin collecting extensions, scripts, and
useful tools in one place. I hope to convince some of the existing
extensions authors to host stuff here (at least until it gets integrated
into the core).
If anyone is interested, here is an announcemnt indicating Columbia
University's CNMTL commitment to the mediawiki
http://ccnmtl.columbia.edu/web/p03_announcements.html#20050131
Thanks to Peter Danenberg for the nifty name.
best regards,

Thanks, Brion, for updating LanguageEt file, but it seems that my
patch was not OK after all. There are problems with namespaces on
et.wikipedia and et.wiktionary now... quick fix would be welcome.
People panic... (actually, right now they are having some bad dreams).
The problem: {{ns:4}} gives "Wikipedia" on et.wikipedia, should be
"Vikipeedia". On wiktionary it gives "Wiktionary", should be
"Vikisõnaraamat". No such problems occured on my test wikis (I think
LocalSettings.php saved me somehow).
I'm not sure I'm getting it right this time, so someone please have a
look, is this the problem? --
The file contained lines
NS_WIKIPEDIA => $wgMetaNamespace,
NS_WIKIPEDIA_TALK => $wgMetaNamespace . '_arutelu',
I guess it should be:
NS_PROJECT => $wgMetaNamespace,
NS_PROJECT_TALK => $wgMetaNamespace . '_arutelu',
instead? I can't do any testing at the moment -- can't reach my office computer.
If the fix above is not enough -- I see some Languge files contain
if($wgMetaNamespace === FALSE)
$wgMetaNamespace = str_replace( ' ', '_', $wgSitename );
LanguageEt doesn't. Should it?
Also there are problems with showing dates (monthnames or
abbreviations)... but first things first. Please help!

Hello,
I am not entirely sure any more where this could be done...
I would suggest to head for http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/logo.
For all practical matters, please do not write to the moderator of the foundation mailing list but rather register to wikitech-l(a)wikimedia.org, where such matters can be handled.
Thanks and hope you do a great job on ma (I think the language code is ma...).

I saw the language version for Malayalam in Wikipedia is not in full
mode for long. But i go through the entire stuff. There is no option
to edit the logo text. Thats wrong. And i would like to do the project
for malayalam. So if you can provide further information, then thats
better i think.
Hope you respond soon

I know there are bigger things to worry about, but...
I'm still having problems with my logo giving a little jump to the right on load - it happens on all the biggest Wikipedia's - except the German and Swedish ones.
Any ideas how I fix this - or should I go on prozac?
