We discovered in Wikisource that a search for
kvibille doesn't produce hits for the older
spelling qvibille (with Q instead of K).
Also, searches for jern and järn produce two
non-overlapping result sets, where as a search
for järnvåg produces hits for järnväg, so
apparently å-ä are treated as similar (harmful!)
while e-ä are not treated as similar (bad!).
The e-ä and q-k similarity is an issue in Wikisource,
since these are old spelling reforms, but this is
not an issue in the all-modern Wikipedia. Making
e-ä and q-k match in Wikipedia too would most
probably be harmless.
Is there any way we can change the behaviour?
Per language and project? Or does it need to be
changed in the Solr/Lucene distribution?
What is the current configuration and what sort
of input is needed for an improvement? A short
list of matching letters, or a full dictionary?

Hi i seem to have a problem with my wiki. Everytime i bold or italise a text
and save it, it keeps adding more ' ' '. Has anyone ever come across this
problem?
I've been experimenting with a MW related project after all this time away.
No-one is in IRC so I had two minor questions I needed clarified.
What's the difference between the new ExtAuth and the old AuthPlugin
system? Just a quick jist...
I'm unsure of one thing related to $wgSecretKey and shared users.
Obviously a set of wiki using a shared user table and a shared cookie
$wgSecretKey should be the same on all wiki.
However, given a set of wiki using a shared user table, but not using a
shared cookie (ie: potentially domain separated wiki like example.com
and example.org) should $wgSecretKey be the same since the users are the
same, or different since the cookies are different?

Hello,
I want to migrate from moinmoin wiki to mediawiki. to perform this job I
used the mm2mw.pl perl script. But
this script doesn't work, it returns me the message : failed to connect to
the server. However I am able to connect
to mediawiki via my browser with the same authentification informations. Any
help is welcome.
Thank you inadvance;
Hi,
I created a new extension (a part of a set of extensions), which is
intended for improving categorization in complex languages such as
Chinese by supporting sorting pages in a category in more than way,
and is expected to be installed on Chinese Wikipedia.
This extension is a common part of all languages. Chinese-specific
part will be done in another extension, with the hook,
CategoryMultisortSortkeys, specified in this extension.
Please have a look at it.
Repo on Gitorious: http://gitorious.org/mediawiki-categorymultisort
Extension page on MediaWiki.org:

Forwarding this to wikitech-l solely for the technical discussion.
I was unaware that it had died. Do you have any links from ICRA on
the issue? I know Derk-Jan has been looking at resurrecting that bug,
and I'd be interested to know what the actual state of the standard is.
If nobody uses it and they've declared it dead, then we don't need to
bother implementing it. Do we know if there is some standard that is
used widely, or does every web filtering package reinvent the wheel?
