[MediaWiki-l] Template Question

2015-03-02 Thread Rowe, Dolores A
Dear Teammates,

I have a template which uses parameters, for example {{{2}}} for it's second 
argument,
which is a url.  Some url's are similar to this with a query string:   
http://myserver.com/index.aspx?com=85id=20.

I figured out that = was messing up the template code, so I substituted it's 
hex equivalent %3D for both
of the equal signs.  Some target servers can parse this, and some can not, thus 
creating a problem for the users.

Is there any other way to handle this in the template, so that I would not have 
to substitute %3D in the url for the = sign ?

Thank you,
Lori

To my knowledge this interpretation is incorrect: it is the task of the web 
browser to convert %3D back to appropriate symbols, and a correct URL would 
reach the server either way. May I ask you for an example?

Use |2= directly in your template.

[MediaWiki-l] New extension: Semantic Meta Tags

2015-03-02 Thread Jeroen De Dauw
Hey all,

I'm happy to announce the immediate availability of the new Semantic Meta
Tags extension.

It is a Semantic Mediawiki extension for adding meta tags to a page with
content generated from semantic annotations.

This extension enables to automatically extend the HTML meta tags of a
page with content generated from selected properties with:

* Standard tags (e.g. meta name=keywords) as well as
* Summary card and Open Graph protocol tags (e.g. meta property=og:title
or twitter:description)

You can find installation and usage instructions for the extension at
https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMetaTags#semantic-meta-tags

This extension has been created by James Hong Kong, with some minor
contributions by Karsten Hoffmeyer, Jamie Thingelstad and myself.

Cheers

[MediaWiki-l] Lua help

2015-03-02 Thread Brenton Horne

Hi,

I have noticed that when I ask Lua templating-related questions here I 
get little, if any replies so I was wondering if someone knows somewhere 
I can ask these questions and get fast (within a day) and helpful answers.


Thanks for your time,
Brenton

I'd like to make 2 notes.

It looks like the property - meta tag mapping is done in LocalSettings.
Can you guarantee this will stay that way? There are a number of XSS
vectors that would be introduced if it becomes possible to define a
property - meta mappings handled by OutputPage::addMeta on-wiki.

The hardcoding of og: looks terrible. property= is not an OpenGraph
thing, it's an RDFa attribute. There are plenty of things besides just
og: that use property.
