Hi everybody,
I am trying to make some changes to the Mediawiki software. It apears
that there is some kind of caching that
I do not understand. If I make changes to one php file it will not be
imediatelly affected if I refresh the browser
window. Only if I include an php error into that file and remove it
again the refresh shows the changes.
Any ideas where to disable this?
Thank you in advance,
Merlin
I've upgraded the 'Nostalgia Wikipedia', a copy of the English Wikipedia
database from December 2001, to MediaWiki 1.5 as an initial test of our
upgrade infrastructure:
http://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version
(Editing is disabled, and it's running the nostalgia skin, so you can
look but not touch. :)
We'll be hitting a few more over the next few hours, including Commons.
After some more live testing to work out kinks, the remaining wikis will
get upgraded bit by bit over the coming days.

Now that 1.5 is running, and the big bugs bite^W are on the verge of
extinction, I feel it is my duty to introduce some new ones. :-)
Did anyone look into the validation feature again? I have fixed what
seemed to be the most pressing problems. I'm not sure about performance,
but I'm pretty sure it doesn't load the whole table into memory at any
point.
There has been a request for the feature on the German mailing list, and
I'd wager it won't stay the only one, on many lists.
Should we
* sit back and wait for it to mend itself magically
* let everyone have a final look and turn it on to see what happens
* turn it on right now
?

I think that perhaps there is an opportunity to implement a more
broadly useful feature here: content substitution based on user prefs.
What if we came up with a more generic way to implement this type of
behavior which could also be applied to other situations in which
content is region or preference specific? Besides units of measurement,
this could also be applied to date and time formats. For example:
the plane was shot at {{time|21:30|9:30 pm}} on {{date|15
January|January 15}} causing the loss of {{measurement|89 liters|23
gallons}} of fuel.
Each user could then specify their preferred format:
time: 24-hour clock
date: European format
measurement: metric
This would solve several problems:
* The 12-hour/24-hour time debate (see Manual of Style (dates and
numbers))
* Would no longer have the awkward convention of making all dates into
links just so they are formatted a certain way
* Would no longer have to show both standard and metric measurements
everywhere in article contents, which makes them far less easy to read.
Of course how or if this feature is actually used would be up to each
wiki, but I imagine it could find a lot of different uses. Just a
thought.

Hello there!
Can you suggest me at which moment the content of generated page will be
printed? I mean, which function of MediaWiki is responsible for final
page output. I found the "output" function in OutputPage.php, but there
is the wfProfileOut( $fname ) calling - I can't find the concrete
wfProfileOut declaring because there is a lot of functions with the same
name in different files.
Help me please.
TIA
Hi.
I'm modifying Mediawiki code to show some extra data, but they are not displayed
because of cache feature of Mediawiki. In order to solve this, I must
'Edit > Preferences
> Clear Cache' constantly on my browser, but I don't want my Wiki users to do this.
Is there any way to remove this feature?
Thank you very much.

MediaWiki 1.5 beta 2 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release series.
While most exciting new bugs should have been ironed out at this point,
third-party wiki operators should probably not run this beta release
on a public site without closely following additional development.
Anyone who _has_ been running beta 1 is very very strongly advised to
upgrade to beta 2, as it fixes many bugs from the previous beta
including a couple of HTML and SQL injections.
This release should be followed by one or two release candidates and
a 1.5.0 final within the next few weeks.
Beta upgraders, note there are some minor database changes. For upgrades
from 1.4, see the file UPGRADE for details on significant database and
configuration file changes.
Beta 2 includes a preliminary command-line XML wiki dump importer tool,
maintenance/importDump.php, paired with maintenance/dumpBackup.php.
These use the same format as Special:Export and Special:Import, able
to package a wiki's entire page set independent of the backend database
and compression format.

Hello there!
I am trying to upload the Norwegian wikibooks dump. When I upload the
20050623_cur_table.sql I get an error message "ERROR at line 1: Unknown
command '\'." Does anyone know what happens and how can I solve it?
TIA
I've updated the Special:Export schema in MediaWiki 1.5 to include a
<siteinfo> chunk with some site configuration information.
For example at:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/Chlamyphorus_truncatus
you can see the custom namespace assignments.
and at:
http://es.wiktionary.org/wiki/Especial:Export/aristocratizar
you can see that wiki's marked as case-sensitive.
This should make it easier to ensure that page titles are processed
correctly on import.
I've also added an xml:space="preserve" hint to the <text> elements,
which may or may not keep some overzealous tools from stripping the
whitespace automatically.
The XML Schema definition for version 0.3 of the export format is at
http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3.xsd and in the docs/
subdirectory in MediaWiki CVS HEAD.
We'll be providing the full-wiki public data dumps in this format
starting in a few days, replacing the old SQL dumps. For the reasons
behind this switch, see my earlier posting:
