Our students use Jmol Mediawiki extensively. We have come up against the lack of a proper XML validator in mediawiki, which means that the more "XML" one asks the students to insert, the greater the chance of XML errors. I am increasingly having to cope with the student's work disappearing, to be replaced by a bald XMR error message instead. Gaining access to the history file to revert is also not entirely trivial. One can imagine what would happen if Wikipedia pages started to vanish in a similar manner (and of course, it could be done maliciously as well as accidentally). Does Wikipedia have a bot that can automatically undo these sorts of errors (the XML corruption is often such that repair is out of the question)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
