Each item in the data array must be one character. I don't know how this 
ends up with '', but I get various exceptions when trying to 
type (or do anything with the editor) after running your snippet, so 
clearly something breaks terribly.


The corrected version would be like this:

var data = [
{type: 'mwHeading', attributes: {level: 2}},
'H', 'e', 'a', 'd', 'i', 'n', 'g', ' ', '2',
{type: '/mwHeading'}
];

Or, more convenient to write (using the "spread syntax" for arrays):

var data = [
{type: 'mwHeading', attributes: {level: 2}},
...'Heading 2'.split( '' ),
{type: '/mwHeading'}
];

Re: [Wikitech-l] (no subject)

[Brion Vibber]

I wanted to comment quickly on one thing that was called out.

Closing "valid tasks" may be appropriate depending on the task and the
context. Closed is a valid state for a task and may well be most
appropriate.

There is a reason for this, and I want to be clear:

Tasks are not isolated platonic constructs; they are tools for people to
use in their work on software. If a task and the discussion on it is
unconstructive, then closing it sounds fine.


Now that's just off the top of my head; I'm unfamiliar with the particular
case you presumably are citing.

But again I have to stress that this is not a hobby project, this is a
working environment for dozens of people building and maintaining the
software that the Wikimedia community has entrusted them with.

That's not to say volunteers aren't welcome: rather, that's to say that
volunteers are expected to behave themselves just as we are when they
choose to work alongside us.

Not sure about the language references; they don't seem relevant to the
patterns of behavior under discussion.

I think there's a big schism that you're pointing to here: why do you
think it's appropriate for you or anyone else to impose your particular
U.S. workplace standards on a global community of volunteers? For many
users, wikitech-l, Phabricator, and other venues are specifically not
workplaces, they're places for technical work on hobby projects.

>If your corporate HR department would frown at you making a statement
>about people's character or motivations with derogatory language, think
>twice about it. Treat people with respect.

Sure, treat people with respect. As a colleague of Greg Varnum, have you
privately messaged him to let him know that closing valid tasks is
inappropriate? Have you told him that gaslighting users into thinking that
an obvious bug is an intentional design choice is unacceptable behavior?
Have you discussed with Greg V. that un-assigning yourself from a task and
attempting to orphan it is bad practice?

Or are you simply focused on trying to shame and silence volunteers who
are critical of Wikimedia Foundation Inc. employees?

Regarding the word fuck generally, I've been here long enough to remember
commits such as .
There are also many commits and tasks that use similar language. As the
English Wiktionary notes, "what the fuck" is a common interjection:
. I do not
think it's a phrase that should be commonly used on Phabricator, but at
times it can be appropriate, _as your code commit from 2008 notes_, to
underscore the severity of a particular issue. What Greg did was really
bad and is compounded, in my opinion, by his continued silence and the
lack of resolution to the issue of German text appearing on an English
landing page. Saying what Greg V. did was confusing and bad, even
forcefully, is not the real issue here.

For what it's worth, here's Daniel using the same language in 2016:

the same language in the same year:
. A quick search of Phabricator
for "what the fuck", "fuck", or "wtf" shows that none of them are rare.

Hi Dennis.

I would advise you generally to treat wikitech-l like a professional
workspace, which it is for those of us who are employees of WMF or WMDE.

If your corporate HR department would frown at you making a statement about
people's character or motivations with derogatory language, think twice
about it. Treat people with respect.

Thanks!

Hi all,
I've been working on a project to improve the categorization of
pictures in the Upload to Commons Android app
 as part of the Outreachy
Dec '15 program, which is soon drawing to an end. To summarize, 3 new
features have been implemented in this app:

1. If a picture with geolocation is uploaded, nearby category
suggestions are offered (based on the categories of other Commons
images with similar coordinates)

2. If a picture with no geolocation is uploaded, nearby category
suggestions are offered based on the user's current location. This is
optional and only works if enabled in Settings.

3. Category search (when typing in the search field) has been made
more flexible, whereas previously this was done solely by prefix
search. E.g. now searching for 'latte' should be able to return 'iced
latte'.

The latest version of the app is v1.11 and can be downloaded at
.
Please feel free to leave feedback or bug reports at
.

I have had an amazing time working on this app as part of the
Outreachy program, and I greatly appreciate all the support and help
that the WMF community has given me. :)


Cheers!

Hello,

The tests have been broke with the previous human made change:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/136152/

That one was not passing tests and has been force merged. End result is
the extension tests are now broken.

The error message is missing a newline and should read as:

 You MUST install Composer dependencies


From composer.json that means:

 guzzlehttp/guzzle: ~3.8


The Jenkins job mwext-testextension-zend does not install composer
dependencies, instead it clones mediawiki/vendor.git which is the repo
holding dependencies for the Wikimedia cluster.

So I guess we need change it to mwext-testextension-zend-composer which
does run composer.

It is definitely worth a task in Phabricator for history purposes. But
the change itself is straightforward.

Hi should we upgrade jquery ui to version 1.10.4. even though we recently 
upgraded to version 1.9.2 we could upgrade to 1.10.4 in Mediawiki 1.25. The 
main difference is it removes internet explorer 6 support which as long as 
internet explorer 6 users can edit and view the page it wont matter to them. 
here is the changelog jqueryui.com/changelog/1.10.0/

Hi we are upgrading jquery cookie from an early alpha version of 1.1 to 1.2. 
Please start upgrading your code to be compatible with jquery cookie 1.2. There 
is just one deprecations to notice and that is  $.cookie('foo', null) is now 
deprecated. And replace it with Adding $.removeCookie('foo') for deleting a 
cookie. We are slowly upgrading to version 1.4.1 but one step at a time because 
it is. A ja our change and removes a lot of things.

Congratulations, we are all happy to hear that. Just FYI: The subjectless
e-mail fell into the spam folder for me at Gmail, too. And I guess we could
all agree sending e-mails with no subject to a large mailing list is just
not a great idea anyway. So… do we need to spend any more e-mails debating
this?

Thanks.

Hi all,
I'm Maduranga Siriwardena, 3rd year computer Science and Engineering
Undergraduate at University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. Currently I'm in my
internship at WSO2, which a opensource middleware company.

While going through the project ideas, the idea of A system for reviewing
funding requests impressed me. But as I'm new to the wikimedia project, I
don't have much idea how to proceed. Please describe the requirements of
the project and other requirements needed to proceed with this project.


Thank you

 For external uses like XML dumps integrating the compression
 strategy into LZMA would however be very attractive. This would also
 benefit other users of LZMA compression like HBase.

For dumps or other uses, 7za -mx=3 / xz -3 is your best bet.

That has a 4 MB buffer, compression ratios within 15-25% of
current 7zip (or histzip), and goes at 30MB/s on my box,
which is still 8x faster than the status quo (going by a 1GB
benchmark).

Trying to get quick-and-dirty long-range matching into LZMA isn't
feasible for me personally and there may be inherent technical
difficulties. Still, I left a note on the 7-Zip boards as folks
suggested; feel free to add anything there:
https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/73ed3ad7/

Thanks for the reply,

 Re: trying to get long-range matching into LZMA, first, I
 couldn't confidently hack on liblzma. Second, Igor might
 not want to do anything as niche-specific as this (but who
 knows!). Third, even with a faster matching strategy, the
 LZMA *format* seems to require some intricate stuff (range
 coding) that be a blocker to getting the ideal speeds
 (honestly not sure).

 In any case, I left a note on the 7-Zip boards as folks have

Hey all,

Mozilla made an announcement yesterday about a new framework called Minion:

http://blog.mozilla.org/security/2013/07/30/introducing-minion/
https://github.com/mozilla/minion

It's an automated security testing framework for use in testing web
applications. I'm currently looking into how to use it. Would there be any
interest in setting up such a framework for automated security testing of
MediaWiki?

I'm definitely interested in seeing if we can leverage something like
this. I'm not sure where it would fit alongside our current automated
testing, but I think it would be valuable to at least take a closer
look. And it's nice to see they're supporting ZAP and skipfish,
although unless they allow for more detailed configurations, both take
ages to completely scan a MediaWiki install.

If you get it running, please share your experience.

Re: [Wikitech-l] (no subject)

[Tyler Romeo]

OK, so after a bit of trouble I managed to get it working on my Vagrant
instance.

Here's a brief summary of what I learned:
* It uses a MongoDB backend with Python and Flask as a front-end
* There are plugins that implement certain tests (e.g., nmap, skipfish)
* Plans are combinations of plugins, basically a test plan
* Sites are added into groups, and are then assigned plans
* Finally, you run plans on the frontend and they're run by a celery job
queue

From the looks of it, I don't think this would be particularly useful for
individual developers, because many of the tests require a full TLS setup
and whatnot.

What might be useful is to have a security instance running MediaWiki with
a similar setup to the actual en-wiki, and then have Minion running on an
instance and have it run the tests that way. Unfortunately, I don't know
how we would manage users (since it doesn't have LDAP integration) or when
we would run these tests (I'd imagine there wouldn't be a need to run them
on every change).

Thoughts?

Include things like what is needed to get it working etc.

Might be something we could get running against the beta cluster,

Heh, if clients randomly change character sets than I guess there are a
very large number of possible values.

Given that RFC2047 came out in 1996 it's reasonable that people use
non-ascii characters in titles given that the means to do it in a
compatible way has been around for 17 years.

Hi all,
  I have  built a LocalWiki.   Now I want the data of it to keep consistent 
with the 
Wikipedia and one work I should do is to get the data of update from 
Wikipedia.   
I get the URLs through analyzing the RSS
(http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:%E6%9C%80%E8%BF%91%E6%9B%B4%E6%94%B9feed=rss)
 
and get all HTML content of the edit box by analyzing 
these URLs after opening an URL and clicking the ’edit this page’.  
(eg: 
http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E8%B2%A1%E7%A5%9E%E5%88%B0_(%E9%81%8A%E6%88%B2%E7%AF%80%E7%9B%AE)diff=12199398oldid=prev
 
and its edit interface is 
http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E8%B2%A1%E7%A5%9E%E5%88%B0_(%E9%81%8A%E6%88%B2%E7%AF%80%E7%9B%AE)action=edit
 
.   However, I encounter two problems during my work.
Firstly, sometimes I can’t open a URL which is from the RSS and I don’t 
know why.   
That’s because I visit it too frequently and my IP address is prohibited 
or the network is too slow?
  If the reason is the former, how often can I visit a page of Wikipedia?   
Is there a timeout?
Secondly, just as mentioned before
I want to download all HTML of the content in the edit box from Wikipedia, 
however, 
I can do sometimes but other times I just can download part of it, what’s 
the reason?

Thanks

李琴 well.. thats webscrapping, that is a poor tecnique, one with lots

One thing a robot must do is read and follow  the
http://zh.wikipedia.org/robots.txt file ( probably you sould read it
too)
As a general rule of Internet, a  rude robot will be banned by the
site admins.

It would be a good idea to anounce your bot as a bot in the user_agent
string .  Good bot beavior is one that read a website like a human.  I
don't know,  like 10 request minute?.  I don't know about this
Wikipedia site rules about it.

What you are suffering could be  automatic or manual throttling, since
is detected a abusive number of request from your IP.

Wikipedia seems to provide fulldumps of his wiki, but are unusable
for you, since are giganteous :-/, trying to rebuilt wikipedia on your
PC with a snapshot would be like summoning Tchulu in a teapot. But.. I
don't know, maybe the zh version is smaller, or your resources

Indeed there are. What you need:
1) the Wikimedia IRC live feed - last time I've looked at it, it was at
irc://irc.wikimedia.org/ and then each project had its own channel.
2) A PHP IRC bot framework - Net_SmartIRC is well-written and easy to get
started with
3) the page source you can EASILY get either in rendered form
http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TITLEaction=render or in raw form
http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TITLEaction=raw (this is page
source).

 Hi all,
   I have  built a LocalWiki.   Now I want the data of it to keep consistent 
 with the 
 Wikipedia and one work I should do is to get the data of update from 
 Wikipedia.   
 I get the URLs through analyzing the RSS
 (http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:%E6%9C%80%E8%BF%91%E6%9B%B4%E6%94%B9feed=rss)
  
 and get all HTML content of the edit box by analyzing 
 these URLs after opening an URL and clicking the ’edit this page’.  
 (eg: 
 http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E8%B2%A1%E7%A5%9E%E5%88%B0_(%E9%81%8A%E6%88%B2%E7%AF%80%E7%9B%AE)diff=12199398oldid=prev
  
 and its edit interface is 
 http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E8%B2%A1%E7%A5%9E%E5%88%B0_(%E9%81%8A%E6%88%B2%E7%AF%80%E7%9B%AE)action=edit
  
 .   However, I encounter two problems during my work.
 Firstly, sometimes I can’t open a URL which is from the RSS and I don’t 
 know why.   
 That’s because I visit it too frequently and my IP address is prohibited 
 or the network is too slow?
   If the reason is the former, how often can I visit a page of Wikipedia?   
 Is there a timeout?
 Secondly, just as mentioned before
 I want to download all HTML of the content in the edit box from Wikipedia, 
 however, 
 I can do sometimes but other times I just can download part of it, what’s 
 the reason?
 
 Thanks

Using the api or special:export you can request several pages per http
request, which is nicer to the system. You should also add a maxlag
parameter.
Obviously you must put a proper User-Agent, so that if your bot causes
issues you can be contacted/banned.

Wikimedia Foundation offers a live feed to keep the wikis up-to-date,
check http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_update_feed_service

Just to be sure: do not _change_ the line in DefaultSettings.php!
Override the setting by adding the second quoted command into your
LocalSettings.php. Otherwise, the change will be overwritten every
time you update to a newer version of MediaWiki.

hi all,
I built a local wiki, and I want to set the recentchange limit to 
500|1000|5000|1.
I changed the $wgRCLinkLimits = array( 50, 100, 250, 500 );
to $wgRCLinkLimits = array( 500, 1000, 5000, 1 ); and 'rclimit'   = 
1.

Is this right? Or is there something more to do?

Thanks

vanessa

 This sort of thing would hekp with some of or external antispam tools.
 Currently we rely on parsing edits manually to see when links are added
 - some realtime and machine-readable format for notifications of such
 edits would be great.

File a bug?
This probably depends on bug 17450 and should block 16599.

What about a search motor wich can find information into thoose mailings ?
This is not a solution but this is a way to make the users able to find
information.



Original messages :

Ever met a developer who likes writing doc? :)

 and a lot of the docs have never been read by a developer. That being
 said, using FlaggedRevs we might be able to deliver more solid docs
 on MW.org by flagging docs at like two levels. One could be like a basic
 has been looked over for glaring errors and basic readability and
 a second could be has been thoroughly reviewed and is considered
 the doc on the given subject.

Perhaps we could start by getting developers to thoroughly review
documentation?

You're proposing a technical solution to a people problem. The problem
is not that the site can't display the fact that a developer vouches
for the quality of documentation. The problem is that there are no
processes for getting developers to review documentation and vouch for
it.

Sorry for double mail; Can we imagine a search motor that can look into :
1 - The mailing lists where users can ask questions
2 - The main forums
3 - The main site with documentation (mediawiki.org and sites such as
semantic-mediawiki)
4 - ...

Google can does 2 and 3, I don't know about 1.

There is also layers that goes more work than a simple personalised google.
