So we've finally god the database schema updates in and have tried doing
the MediaWiki software update.
Unfortunately, the updates of image table rows have brought the DB
server running Commons to its knees. Tim's working on redoing the row
upgrade system to be less burdensome...

My analogy used .com/.org/.net, which were all run initially by
network solutions. Were that still true today I don't think the
analogy would be any better or worse. Again though, analogies aren't
meant to be perfect. My purpose was to show how bad of an idea it is
to merge multiple already overcrowded namespaces (namespace, in the
[[namespace (computer science)]] sense). Maybe it was a bad analogy
though. I don't know.

Count me under those who would say that the WMF wikis do fall under
separate administrative spheres, actually.

I think you're correct that a number of people do make this
assumption. But I don't think that's an adequate reason to adopt a
policy making it so.
I guess what has to happen before this can really be discussed is we
need to drop the hypotheticals and come up with a semi-accurate list
of actual conflicts. If a good portion of the conflicts are actually
causing problems, then it's one thing. If most of them are just good
faith collisions which wouldn't have even been discovered were it not
for SUL, then it's another.

Hi,
I have created a new extension called SelectCategoryTagCloud. It displays
categories as a tag cloud on the edit page for users to select and unselect
categories. It also has an AJAX based suggest feature to suggest existing
categories to the user when keying in the name for a category.
It's available on
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SelectCategoryTagCloud.
The code is heavily based on two other extensions (SelectCategory and
WikiCategoryTagCloud). It needs some cleaning up and streamlining of the
configuration. But it should be fully functional.
Anyone have a suggestion where to maintain the source code to handle
bugfixes and future releases?
Cheers,
Andi
Hmmm, MediaWiki is on the right track storing different aspects
of an article in different MySQL database tables, if this model from
nature is to be followed.
"Each rat was shocked while a drug was injected into three parts of the
brain. Two days later their memory of the bad experience was tested,
and the drugs revealed what parts of the brain were at work.
The findings: The hippocampus is involved in processing memory for
context; the anterior cingulate cortex deals with retaining memories
of unpleasant stimuli; the amygdala consolidates memories more broadly
and influences the storage of both contextual and unpleasant
information."

I'd recommend renaming these messages - "subtitle1", "subtitle2" and
"subtitle3" don't convey any information about the message's purpose
beyond that it's a subtitle, which makes localisation harder, among
other things.

ideas like the iPhone, Renewable Energy, Mobile phone usage in China, The
Hurricane Season, and The Impact of Internet Advertising. And we've
extended mediawiki in some pretty cool ways.
