This is a little late, but I'm still catching up from being away from
e-mail for a few weeks...
I could see this being useful for transwiki'ing pages from Wikipedia to
Wiktionary or Wikisource. What do you think? We can get push-button
transwiki'ing enabled for the Vietnamese Wikipedia.

I've patched up some old problems with Special:Import and Special:Export:
* Import updates categories etc
* Imports are logged and reviewable in Special:Log/import
* Imported pages also get a null edit in the history indicating the
import and
its source
* Export is fixed up to allow fetching history for shorter pages, while
still
aborting to avoid bogging down the servers on longer pages (currently
set to a
cutoff of 100 edits)
* Transwiki import allows selecting the import-with-history
Wikis wishing transwiki import capability should let us know which wikis
they
want to be able to import directly from (for instance, from a wikipedia ->
wiktionary) and we can enable it.
Please pass this notice on to wikis where it will be of interest.

Hello all,
Please vote for http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6281
This bug, if fixed, may help enhancing automatic categorizing pages in detailed categories, basing on the "mother" categories. Very useful for Wiktionary, and also for Wikipedia, and with template that can interact with each other, many more possibilities may be opened.
Thanks,
Trung

Is this list for only Wikipedia?
Any way, I annouce to those interessed (possibly only Minh) that I have contacted Laurent Bouvier (http://vi.wiktionary.org/wiki/Th%C3%A0nh_vi%C3%AAn:Laurent_Bouvier), who transfered the whole dictionary of Hồ Ngọc Đức (http://www.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~duc/Dict/index.html) into Wiktionnaire (french Wiktionary) (apparently Hồ Ngọc Đức agreed to release his dictionary in GFDL, by an email conversation to the guys at Wiktionnaire), and we are going to do the same thing to Wiktionary.
If you want to help out, join the discussion at http://vi.wiktionary.org/wiki/Th%E1%BA%A3o_lu%E1%BA%ADn_Th%C3%A0nh_vi%C3%AA…
especially Minh, who is more experienced than me with Wiktionary, to answer the tough questions of Bouvier.
Thank you for reading this,
Trung

Just a heads-up, folks:
Later this week I'm going to be installing a fix for some longstanding
bugs with
HTML in wiki pages. One of the issues is a difference in rendering of
templates
that improperly nest HTML tags, which caused certain badly-written
templates to
render in one way on Wikipedia but wildly broken on most other wikis.
(Don't forget that an important part of what Wikipedia & its sister
projects are
about is making information sharable and reusable. If the code breaks when
copied to another site, that's Bad.)
Once the fix is in, templates should render about the same on Wikipedia and
other wikis where the "HTML Tidy" plugin isn't being used. The bad news
is that
some of these templates will be broken; so it would be great if we can
make sure
they get cleaned up.
Problem templates are mostly those which start an HTML tag in one
template, then
finish it in another. For instance if {{table-header}} contains a
<table>, and
then the table rows and final </table> are in another template entirely.
These
have always broken on regular MediaWiki -- the template is required to
close its
own tags -- though they sometimes appeared to work on Wikipedia due to
bugs with
our HTML handling when Tidy is enabled.
I've done some automated checks on templates on en.wikipedia.org to make
a list
of likely problem candidates:
http://leuksman.com/misc/templates/html-table-start.txthttp://leuksman.com/misc/templates/html-table-end.txthttp://leuksman.com/misc/templates/html-table-row.txt
If you've got a template that you're not sure if it will work, try
copying it to
my test wiki at http://test.leuksman.com/ . This has the fix installed
with the
corrected behavior, so you can see about how it will render on Wikipedia
next week.
Please make sure this information is disseminated to the various other
language
and project wikis people are working on; I don't want to hear "waah! all my
templates broke and no one told me!" next week. :)
For the moment the same kind of construct with wiki tables ({| ... |}) will
still work, but note that some time in the future we're going to have to
look at
'fixing' that too. (This might require some enhancements to how
templates work
to make it easier to fill in long tables.)
