In order to gauge effectiveness of of banners we'll need to differentiate
between banner views in languages that are spread out over multiple geographic
areas like english, spanish, french, etc.

It would be best if we were consistent with standards like ISO 3166-1.

Hello!

I would like to report that Polish language also needs {{#switch: or some
substitute.

In Polish we have various grammar forms which depend on the name of the
project. If you do not fix this issue, we will have create not one, but six
banners for each project :(

Right now the banner loader will send the following types of requests:

GET
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:BannerLoaderbanner=WMCZCeny01&userlang=cs&sitename=Wikipedie

For consistent parsing we need sitename or another variable like it to
correspond to the non localized project name or even better the db name.

So instead of =Wikipedie we would get =cswiki

It looks like the old hack isn't easily implementable in the new system. Now
that we are doing banner message localization based on user language rather
than site language (which was another bug fixed by the new system) we can't use
the site language for guessing the database name (an essential part of the
hack) without further fragmenting our caching scheme. The hack also required
doing $wgConf->loadFullData() on every banner request, which didn't matter when
they were all pre-generated, but now that they are generated dynamically, that
could be a performance hit. I'm still investigating solutions, however.

Yes, obviously it was needed, but it didn't say what it was needed for. I was
told it was needed for {{SITENAME}}. When I rewrote all of the banner loading
code (which was necessary in order to be able to support the new features
listed above), rather than reimplementing some kind of hack to allow partial
wiki parsing, I just wrote something very straightforward to support the output
of site names. I wasn't just throwing out old code for the fun of it.

Not to be snarky, but if something is written in as a hack, it's generally
needed (and wanted) even if people don't remember to tell you.

Status: NEW
  Severity: minor
  Priority: Normal

Since the deploy of the new banner loading code, using document.write() within
a CentralNotice banner can occasionally cause the page to be replaced with the
contents of the document.write() function. This only happens every once in a
while and thus is likely to be the result of some race condition in Javascript
loading. Requires more investigation.

It is already possible to filter by prefix.
For text-search there is already a search function that goes through the
MediaWiki-namespace.
however that one only searches through modifiedmessages (ie. existing pages).

So far my work around has been searching on translatewiki (as the pages do
exist there). but this has the sideeffect that it often get's me only 1 result
instead of 25 with 25 items per page (meaning, it gives me 25 languages of 1
item). 

So being able to search right in the core would really be a good improvement as
this one allows picking a language.

The original banner parsing code was prefixed with a warning declaring it "A
god-damned dirty hack" by whoever wrote it, so it wasn't actually my subjective
opinion :)

I agree that using parser functions for all the uses you describe probably
makes more sense than Javascript. I just wasn't aware those functions were
needed in CentralNotice banners. Going on the information that I had (that we
just needed a way to output the site name), I thought it made sense to throw
out the parser hack (that was also causing problems with message caching) and
just support $sitename as a sort of custom variable. Oh well, hindsight's
20/20. At least with the new banner loading system we can now do geotargeting,
get real banner impressions, test banners within local wikis, and it doesn't
break on secure servers. Trading 4 bugs for 1 isn't so bad is it?

And thanks for the apology. It's frustrating to get criticism without
elaboration or explanation. Constructive criticism is always welcome, however
:)

Sometimes, people look back at what was previously implemented and say "this
was a horrible hack, why did we do it this way?"  I realize that some of these
problems aren't easy to solve and I realize the importance of this project. I
imagine that's why the Wikimedia Foundation has hired someone to work on this
rather than relying on volunteers. :-)

The problem with workarounds is that they have a tendency to become
long-lasting. This is true of a lot of areas of MediaWiki/Wikimedia
development.

In my view, there should be as little coding required by the users of this
extension as possible. While JavaScript is obviously more common on the Web,
for most wiki users, ParserFunctions/wikitext are more common and easier to
understand. This brings the benefit of people being available to help if the
ParserFunctions/wikitext get complicated. The same really isn't as true for
JavaScript, surprising as that may seem.

That said, I don't think supporting wikitext/ParserFunctions is necessarily a
must-have for this extension, but it does provide some somewhat sane features
(like {{PLURAL:}}) that could be handy in banners.

When non-coders (or even coders sometimes) are forced to do coding, especially
in an environment that doesn't have input sanity checks like Tidy, we end up
with all sorts of nastiness from things like unclosed tags, for example. Your
suggested code seems frail and hackish. I imagine you knew this when proposing
it. I didn't mean to judge you, just your suggestion, as being "disgusting."
I'm also a bit tired today; that's probably not helping matters either.
Apologies if I came across as snarky.

[Bug 25354] CentralNotice $sitename variable not working with ParserFunctions

2010-09-28 Thread bugzilla-daemon
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25354

--- Comment #8 from Ryan Kaldari  2010-09-28 20:40:43

So it's not reasonable to expect banner writers to know basic Javascript, but
it is reasonable that they understand using Wikitext parser functions?
Regardless, any way that this is implemented will be a hack since the banners
don't live on the local wikis, they live on meta. So they can't just be parsed
and pulled into the page like a template. And {{SITENAME}} is especially
problematic for this reason. Obviously if I had known that this was needed, I
would have built a better way to do it in CentralNotice. In the meantime, I'm
offering a workaround. But next time, I'll just keep my "disgusting" ideas to
myself :P

It's not snarky. I don't think it's particularly reasonable to require people
implementing these banners to have a working knowledge of JavaScript. I think
that requiring people to learn and use JavaScript is going to needlessly
complicate these banners. Worse than requiring people to learn how to operate

The noscript is output if Javascript is turned off or isn't working. You'll
still need to have a default option within the Javascript itself. If I can't
figure out a good way to re-hack this functionality, I'll write up some
complete Javascript for you to use for this situation.

Most wikitext functions will not work in banners. The only reason some of them
worked before is because the banner pre-generation process allowed us to
implement some ugly hacks to use some of them. We should probably not be using
any wikitext within banners. We should be using HTML and Javascript instead. If
there is a requirement that banners use wikitext, we'll need to reimplement the
banner loader in a different way. When I asked Alex and Philippe about what
wiki functions were needed, I was only told about message translation and
{{SITENAME}}. No one mentioned the use of parser functions :(

Isn't this bug set up backwards? A tracking bug normally includes issues that
need to be fixed in order to meet a certain milestone or release a certain
feature. The bugs that will be fixed by that feature are then listed under
"Blocks". Due to how this bug is defined, all the bugs that are blocked by
Resource Loader are listed as "Depends on" and those bugs don't have a proper
Resource Loader bug to list as a Blocker.

Why don't we just have a bug called "Implement Resource Loader"? All the bugs
that would be fixed by it can then be listed as "Blocks" and all the bugs that
have to be fixed as part of the Resource Loader implementation would be listed
as "Depends on". We don't need to reinvent this functionality by creating a
"blocks tracker" (which inverts the normal dependency logic). It's too
confusing, IMO.

The new variable for {{SITENAME}} ($sitename) doesn't seem to be working with
ParserFunctions, which we need for some languages to work properly.

For example, see the Catalan version of the VectorNewLook_phase3 banner.[0]  We
use this code:

{{#switch:{{SITENAME}}
 |Viquipèdia=La {{SITENAME}} està
 |Viccionari=El {{SITENAME}} està
 |Viquillibres|Viquitexts=Els {{SITENAME}} estan
 |Viquinotícies|Viquidites=Les {{SITENAME}} estan
 |#default={{SITENAME}} està }} canviant d'aspecte.

so that the banner is grammatically correct on all of the projects.

I replaced {{SITENAME}} with $sitename to see if this still works with your new
variable, but it looks like it doesn't:

* http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/?banner=VectorNewLook_phase3
* http://ca.wiktionary.org/wiki/?banner=VectorNewLook_phase3

Both of those are showing the default phrasing, "SITENAME està", while they
should say "La Viquipèdia està" and "El Viccionari està" respectively... so
something's not working and the ParserFunction isn't being processed correctly.

PHP's json_encode() function does this, no idea why:

{"foo":"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/api.php"}

Marking WONTFIX cause we're using a library implementation that we can
reasonably expect not to be stupid (and that at least isn't generating invalid

Using a pipe symbol in an "unexpected" place in a field definition (e.g. in a
parser function call) breaks the form.

E.g. for a form collecting geographic regions the following field definition
should just pass on the value for the parameter "structure" to the input type:

application/json is the correct MIME type for json (and indeed it seems that
Chrome is the only browser complaining in this case). However, the geoIP JSON
is not technically "well-formed" JSON, so this may be why Chrome is
complaining. The geoIP JSON may not constitute "well-formed" Javascript either,
so changing it to text/javascript may cause Safari to complain (as Safari seems
to be sensitive to this). I guess what we need to do is test both MIME types in
both browsers and see what we get.

Status: NEW

 Component: Internationalization
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Currently, messages like [[MediaWiki:Protectedarticle]] or
[[MediaWiki:Modifiedarticleprotection]] (also [[MediaWiki:Unprotectedarticle]],
[[MediaWiki:1movedto2]], [[MediaWiki:1movedto2 redir]] or
[[MediaWiki:Overwroteimage]] from which I remember in core, probably several
more in extensions) are used twice in the software: once as log entry, e.g.
Some guy (talk | contribs) protected "Foo" (Edit warring [edit=sysop]
(indefinite) [move=sysop] (indefinite)) or as summary in the revision history
and the protecting admin's contributions: protected "Foo" (Edit warring
[edit=sysop] (indefinite) [move=sysop] (indefinite))

However, I think that the edit summary should be different. It is a bit
pointless to repeat the {{FULLPAGENAME}} in the summary, because that's clear
already anyway if you look at some page's history or someone's contribs, where
the article is linked. Thus, it should rather be "protected page (Edit warring
[edit=sysop] (indefinite) [move=sysop] (indefinite)). Especially good would
such a change be when we have a long {{FULLPAGENAME}}. On Commons, where some
bots tend to make horribly long filenames, it already occured that when
uploading a new file version or protecting it, there was nothing but "uploaded
a new version of" or "protected" and some part of the {{FULLPAGENAME}} in it.

Furthermore (not in English probably) in some cases in German, different
sentences could be used depending on the situation, because one time the
shorter form is generally ok, but in the other case it would be wrong. This
would also some some characters in such a case. Also, would be a partial fix of
bug 16921.

I recognize that it may not be easy, I even personally looked where exactly
these messages are used within the software, looking if I can come up with some
ideas or even a patch, but I failed, so I wouldn't mind this lying around here
some time, since it appears not to be a simple fix.

I'd personally not whitelist the  tag in core. Whereas it really may
have some usage, i.e. on disclaimer pages or the like, I think it has far too
few usages to be useful in the default configuration. Instead, I'd suggest
coding a (probably simple) extension which allows the address tag in user
input. This still allows you to use it if you really want, but prevents likely
misuses when in the default installation.

What's interesting is the we changed it to application/json because that's what

n r64181, this was changed to say "5000" instead of "All"

We don't actually want "All" here. We need limits :) WONTFIX.

[Bug 25350] New: There are "more than all" messages in Special:AllMessages

2010-09-28 Thread bugzilla-daemon
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25350

   Summary: There are "more than all" messages in
Special:AllMessages
   Product: MediaWiki
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: All
   URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=5000&title=S
pecial:AllMessages&uselang=en
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
  Severity: enhancement
  Priority: Normal
 Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: heldergeov...@gmail.com


[[Special:AllMessages]] currently has a text "show [50] itens per page" by
default (from [[MediaWiki:Table pager limit]], I think).

If we change the number to [all], and click [Go], it just reloads the page with
parameter "limit=5000", which nowadays is not large enough to show *all items*
in one page (note: even after selecting *all* items the user still needs to go
to a "Next page" to view more items...).

Please fix two things:
* Make the option "all" to show *all* messages, no matter how many messages
there exist;
* When this option is selected, the sentence "Show all items per page" should
be just "Show all items", because there is only one page.

Helder

We should be able to solve this in a more elegant way by using the approach
described in bug 25289.  Rather than adding more options in the UI, we can
merely make the diff display before the old revision is done loading, and then
load the old revision in due time.

Note that just changing the diffonly=0 from the url of the Review link to
diffonly=1 will give you a content-less diff.
Adding a "show content" button to diffonly revisions should be easy, it's just
fetching it from the api.

Sounds good. I would also add "prevent the user from sending email". I
understand that autoblock ("Automatically block the last IP address used by
this user, and any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from") is set by
default when blocking accounts, right?

[Bug 25348] New: Multiple new page layouts

2010-09-28 Thread bugzilla-daemon
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25348

   Summary: Multiple new page layouts
   Product: MediaWiki
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
  Severity: enhancement
  Priority: Normal
 Component: Page editing
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: ville...@iki.fi


When starting a new article the wiki should ask the user what kind of an
article are they creating and load an appropriate layout. In essence my point
is that the MediaWiki:Newpagelayout serves nobody as most if not all wikis have
articles of several types. 

Consider a wiki about a TV series. They have articles about seasons, episodes
and individual characters. That's at least three different layouts. New
contributors of the wiki cannot be of any help in creating new articles because
they don't know about the {{season}}, {{episode}} and {{character}} templates
used. At most they create an article stub which has to be completely rewritten
and templated by some experienced user. With multiple new page layouts they
would at least stand a chance on creating something useful when the layouts
would load the appropriate template and its parameters for them to fill.

My proposed solution is that in addition to the current MediaWiki:Newpagelayout
the pages MediaWiki:Newpagelayout# and MediaWiki:Newpagelayouttitle# are
deployed. Here, # would be a number from 1 to 9. When creating a new article
the wiki would ask: "What kind of an article are you creating?
{{:MediaWiki:Newpagelayouttitle1}}, {{:MediaWiki:Newpagelayouttitle2}}, None of
these?" The texts would be links which would deploy the associated
MediaWiki:Newpagelayout# as the basis for the new article. The last link, "None
of the above", would of course use the current default MediaWiki:Newpagelayout.
All those links would be loaded only if those special articles existed. If only
the regular Newpagelayout existed then there would be nothing to prompt and
that layout should be loaded without questions.
