 People want to write their own parsers because they don't want to use PHP.
 They want to parse in C, Java, Ruby, Python, Perl, Assembly and every
 other language other than the one that it wasn't written in. There's this, 
 IMHO,
 misplaced belief that standardizing the parser or markup would put us in a
 world of unicorns and rainbows where people can write their own parsers on
 a whim, just because they can. Other than making it easier to integrate with
 my project, I don't see a need for them either (and tbh, the endless
 discussions grow tedious).

My motivation for attacking the task of creating a wikitext parser is,
aside from it being an interesting problem, a genuin concern for the
fact that such a large body of data is encoded in such a vaguely
specified format.

 I don't see any problem with keeping the parser in PHP, and as you point out
 with HipHop support on the not-too-distant horizon the complaints about
 performance with Zend will largely evaporate.

But most of the parser's work consists of running regexp pattern
matching over the article text, doesn't it?  Regexp pattern matching are
implemented by native functions.  Does the Zend engine have a slow
regexp implementation?  I would have guessed that the main reason that
the parser is slow is the algorithm, not its implementation.

regexps might be fast, but when you have to run hundreds of them all
over the place and do stuff in-language then the language becomes the
bottleneck.

 regexps might be fast, but when you have to run hundreds of them all
 over the place and do stuff in-language then the language becomes the
 bottleneck.

some oprofile data showsthat pcre is few percent of execution time - and 
there's really lots of Zend internals that stand in the way - memory management 
(HPHP implements it as C++ object allocations via jemalloc), symbol resolutions 
(native calls in C++), etc.

 My motivation for attacking the task of creating a wikitext parser is,
 aside from it being an interesting problem, a genuin concern for the
 fact that such a large body of data is encoded in such a vaguely
 specified format.

Correct: Until you have (at least) two independently written parsers, both
of which pass a test suite 100%, you don't have a *spec*. 

Or more to the point, it's unclear whether the spec or the code rules, which
can get nasty.

 Note that there is a PHP tokenizer built into PHP which makes it 
straightforward to develop tools like this in PHP:

  Now,  it would be nice to have a parser available that can see the

  anyone using WYSIWYG would be messy and disruptive, but would a change
  whereby it more precisely records the wikitext, and then doesn't try and

 Indeed, that's the nicest thing to do.

Better, but not good. Since diffs can span several edits, it
is not really going to be helpful in many instances.

I realize you have a dry wit, but I imagine this joke was lost on nearly
everyone. You're not really suggesting that everyone who wants to parse
MediaWiki wikitext compile and run HipHop PHP in order to do so.

It's unambiguously a fundamental goal that content on Wikimedia wikis be
able to be easily redistributed, shared, and spread. A wikisyntax that's
impossible to adequately parse in other environments (or in Wikimedia's
environment, for that matter) is a critical and serious inhibitor to this
goal.

The point is that the wikitext and its parsing should be completely separate
from MediaWiki/PHP/HipHop/Zend.

I think some of the bigger picture is getting lost here. Wikimedia produces
XML dumps that contain wikitext. For most people, this is the only way to
obtain and reuse large amounts of content from Wikimedia wikis (especially
as the HTML dumps haven't been re-created since 2008). There needs to be a
way for others to be able to very easily deal with this content.

Many people have suggested (with good reason) that this means that wikitext
parsing needs to be reproducible in other programming languages. While
HipHop may be the best thing since sliced bread, I've yet to see anyone put
forward a compelling reason that the current state of affairs is acceptable.
Saying well, it'll soon be much faster for MediaWiki to parse doesn't
overcome the legitimate issues that re-users have (such as programming in a
language other than PHP, banish the thought).

For me, the idea that all that's needed is a faster parser in PHP is a
complete non-starter.

It's slightly more difficult, but it definitely isn't any easier. The
point here is that only having one implementation of the parser, which
can change at any time, which also defines the spec (and I use the
word spec here really loosely), is something that inhibits the ability
to share knowledge.

Requiring people use our PHP implementation, whether or not it is
compiled to C is ludicrous.

Comment:

Just a note -- there are differences in the output between the previous YAML 
outputter and the JSON outputter, but I think it's actually a bug in the old 
YAML generator. :)

[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=queryprop=revisionsmeta=siteinfotitles=Main%20Pagervprop=user|commentformat=yamlfm
 yaml]
pre
query:
  pages:
-
  pageid: 15580374
  ns: 0
/pre


[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=queryprop=revisionsmeta=siteinfotitles=Main%20Pagervprop=user|commentformat=jsonfm
 json]
pre
query: {
pages: {
15580374: {
pageid: 15580374,
ns: 0,
/pre

The YAML outputter incorrectly turned query.pages from a map into a vector 
array, probably because it saw integer keys but didn't actually vet them. (Ah 
PHP, your frankenstein hashmap+array construct strikes again!) It's possible 
that YAML-using clients that assumed the broken structure may not always work 
with the new, HOWEVER the new output will actually be the correct output 
structure. So that's probably good.

Building it with HipHop will be harder -- but that's something that can be
packaged.


However, I strongly agree that having only a poorly-specified
single-implementation markup language for all of Wikipedia  Wikimedia's
redistributable data is **not where we want to be** long term.

And even if the PHP-based parser is callable from elsewhere, it's not going
to be a good convenient fit for every potential user. It's still worthwhile
to hammer out clearer, more consistent document formats for the future, so
that other people doing other things that we aren't even thinking of have
the flexibility to do those things however they'll need to.

We have this built-in as code$dbw-timestamp()/code . Remember that 
different DBMSes have different timestamp formats. When converting timestamps 
for non-DB purposes, there's codewfTimestamp()/code . Also, there is no 
codeInvalidArgumentException/code class that I can find.

pre

codejson_encode()/code is not guaranteed to be available or non-broken, use 
codeFormatJson::encode()/code

pre
+   array( array( 'afshl_page_id', 
'afshl_avg_overall', 'afshl_avg_ratings', 'afshl_ts' )),
/pre
If this set of fields is supposed to form a unique combination, you have to add 
a UNIQUE index on it, or this replace call will work in Postgres but not in 
MySQL. Generally, the table doesn't have any indices other than the primary key.

pre
+   array(

+   'ORDER BY' = 'avg_rating DESC',
+   'LIMIT' = '50',
+   )
/pre
This query sounds painful. There is no index on aa_timestamp, for one thing. 
I'm not sure what the index would have to be exactly in this case because the 
GROUP BY and ORDER BY are different, I'd have to look that up.

pre
+   'aa_timestamp  ' . $this-getTimestamp() . '  
aa_page_id IN (' . $page_id . ')',
/pre
code/code instead of codeAND/code in SQL? Does that even work? Also, 
you don't have to build your own codeIN(...)/code list, just use 
codearray( aa_timestamp = $blah, 'aa_page_id' = $arrayOfPageIDs )/code

I agree completely.

I think it cannot be emphasized enough that what's valuable about 
Wikipedia and other similar wikis is the hard-won _content_, not the 
software used to write and display it at any given, which is merely a 
means to that end.

Fashions in programming languages and data formats come and go, but the 
person-centuries of writing effort already embodied in Mediawiki's 
wikitext format needs to have a much longer lifespan: having a 
well-defined syntax for its current wikitext format will allow the

2011-05-03 Thread Platonides
I find fine planning to have a normal, small release. But if the code
development lead to eg. a parser rewrite, that's fine too. It can get
in, or reverted for the branch if too close to the brach point.
As far as it gets reviewed in time, it shouldn't be a problem. (We are
going to get everything timely reviewed™ this time, right? ;) However,
if it gets unreviewed three months, with furhter changes dependant of
it, and is only looked at two weeks before the branching date (and
obviously finding issues), then such rewrite becomes a big problem.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Licensing (Was: WYSIWYG and parser plans)

2011-05-03 Thread Trevor Parscal
I think the idea that we might break the existing PHP parser out into a
library for general use is rather silly.

The parser is not a parser, it's a macro expander with a pile of
regular-expressions used to convert short-hand HTML into actual HTML. The
code that it outputs is highly dependent on the state of the wiki's
configuration and database content at the moment of parsing. It also is
useless to anyone wanting to do anything other than render a page into HTML,
because the output is completely opaque as to where any of it
was derived. Dividing the parser off into a library would require an
substantial amount of MediaWiki code to be ported too just to get it
working. On it's own, it would be essentially useless.

So, it's probably not an issue what license this hypothetical code would be
released under.

We are learning from that mistake, though.  I think Sumanah is directing

I'm watching the front of the bug stream and, usually, when someone

Of course, things aren't perfect, but hopefully they are getting better.

[Wikitech-l] WorkingWiki extension

2011-05-03 Thread Lee Worden
Just added to MediaWiki.org:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WorkingWiki

WorkingWiki is a software extension for MediaWiki that makes a wiki into 
a powerful environment for collaborating on publication-quality 
manuscripts and software projects.  It's designed for research labs' 
wikis, but may have diverse other uses as well.

(I probably should have made it public long ago, but there was a big 
refactor and it took a long time to settle out...)

Re: [Wikitech-l] WYSIWYG and parser plans (was What is wrong with Wikia's WYSIWYG?)

2011-05-03 Thread Neil Kandalgaonkar
On 5/2/11 5:28 PM, Tim Starling wrote:
How many wikitext parsers does the world really need?

That's a tricky question. What MediaWiki calls parsing, the rest of the 
world calls

1. Parsing
2. Expansion (i.e. templates, magic)
3. Applying local state, preferences, context (i.e. $n, prefs)
4. Emitting

And phases 2 and 3 depend heavily upon the state of the local wiki at 
the time the parse is requested. If you've ever tried to set up a test 
wiki that works like Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons you'll know what I'm 
talking about.

As for whether the rest of the world needs another wikitext parser: 
well, they keep writing them, so there must be some reason why this 
keeps happening. It's true that language chauvinism plays a part, but 
the inflexibility of the current approach is probably a big factor as 
well. The current system mashes parsing and emitting to HTML together, 
very intimately, and a lot of people would like those to be separate.

   - if they're doing research or stats, and want a more pure, more 
normalized form than HTML or Wikitext.

   - if they're Google, and they want to get all the city infobox data 
and reuse it (this is a real request we've gotten)

   - if they're OpenStreetMaps, and the same thing;

   - if they're emitting to a different format (PDF, LaTeX, books);

   - if they're emitting to HTML but with different needs (like mobile);

And then there's the stuff which you didn't know you wanted, but which 
becomes easy once you have a more flexible parser.

A couple of months ago I wrote a mini PEG-based wikitext parser in 
JavaScript, that Special:UploadWizard is using, today, live on Commons.

 
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/UploadWizard/resources/mediawiki.language.parser.js?view=markup

 
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/UploadWizard/resources/mediawiki.language.parser.peg?view=markup

While it was a bit of a heavy download (7K compressed) this gave me the 
ability to do pluralizations in the frontend (e.g. 3 out of 5 uploads 
complete) even for difficult languages like Arabic. Great!

But the unexpected benefit was that it also made it a snap to add very 
complicated interface behaviour to our message strings. Actually, right 
now, with this library + the ingenious way that wikitext does i18n, we 
may have one of the best libraries out there for internationalized user 
interfaces. I'm considering splitting it off; it could be useful for any 
project that used translatewiki.

But I don't actually want to use JavaScript for anything but the final 
rendering stages (I'd rather move most of this parser to PHP) so stay tuned.

Anyway, I think it's obviously possible for us to do some RTE, and some 
of this stuff, with the current parser. But I'm optimistic that a new 
parsing strategy will be a huge benefit to our community, and our 
partners, and partners we didn't even know we could have. Imagine doing 
RTE with an implementation in a JS frontend, that is generated from some 
of the same sources that the PHP backend uses.

For what it's worth: whenever I meet with Wikia employees the topic is 
always about what MediaWiki and the WMF can do to make their RTE hacks 
obsolete. That doesn't mean that their RTE isn't the right way forward, 
but the people who wrote it don't seem to be very strong advocates for 
it. But I don't want to put words in their mouth; maybe one of them can 
add more to this thread?

Well, if that's the case, why was it brought up in the discussion to
begin with? Here's the comment Tim made:

Now that we have HipHop support, we have the ability to turn
MediaWiki's core parser into a fast, reusable library. The performance
reasons for limiting the amount of abstraction in the core parser will
disappear. How many wikitext parsers does the world really need?

He tends to think it's an option. Domas mentioned in IRC that he made
a standalone version of the parser a while back, as well.

 The parser is not a parser, it's a macro expander with a pile of
 regular-expressions used to convert short-hand HTML into actual HTML. The
 code that it outputs is highly dependent on the state of the wiki's
 configuration and database content at the moment of parsing. It also is

 substantial amount of MediaWiki code to be ported too just to get it
 working. On it's own, it would be essentially useless.


The parser has a configuration state, takes wikitext in, and gives
back html. It pulls additional data from the database in these steps
as well, yes. However, I don't see how this would be different than
any other implementation of the parser. All implementations will
require configuration state, and will need to deal with things like
templates and extensions.

Though I prefer the concept of alternative parsers (for all the
reasons mentioned in the other threads), I do think having our
reference implementation available as a library is a good concept. I
feel that making it available in a suitable license is ideal.

Not all implementations will want to output HTML, though. Like Neil
said in the other thread, some implementations will want to output
other formats (HTML for mobile, or PDF) or just want to analyze stuff
(metadata from infoboxes/templates for Google or OpenStreetMap). What
we have right now is mostly (the preprocessor is nicely separate now,
but still) a black box that eats wikitext, reads additional data from
places, and spits out HTML. A truly reusable component would at least
produce something like an abstract syntax tree that can be rendered or
traversed by different consumers to produce different results.
Reducing the external dependencies is hard, I agree with that part.
However, some components of the (hypothetically broken-up) parser
don't necessarily need to know as much, so some gains could possibly
be made there.

 On it's own, it would be essentially useless.


 The parser has a configuration state, takes wikitext in, and gives
 back html. It pulls additional data from the database in these steps
 as well, yes. However, I don't see how this would be different than
 any other implementation of the parser. All implementations will
 require configuration state, and will need to deal with things like
 templates and extensions.

 Though I prefer the concept of alternative parsers (for all the
 reasons mentioned in the other threads), I do think having our
 reference implementation available as a library is a good concept. I
 feel that making it available in a suitable license is ideal.

Afaik parser does not need a database or extension hooks for minimum but
fully operational use.

{{unknown templates}} default to redlinks,
{{int:messages}} default to unknown,
tags and {{#functions}} default to literals,
{{MAGICWORDS}} to red links,
etc...

If a user of the parser would not have any of these (either none  
existing or no
registry / database configured at all). It would fallback to the  
behaviour as if
they are inexistant, not a problem ?

By having this available as a parser sites that host blogs and forums
could potentially use wikitext to format their comments and forum  
threads
(to avoid visitors from having to for example learn Wikitext for their  
wiki,
WYSIWYM WYMeditor for WordPress and BBCode for a forum).

Instead they could all be the same syntax. And within wiki context
magic words, extensions, int messages etc. would be fed from the wiki  
database,
outside just static.

Comment:

The arguments for getJSON are strange. Are you sure this works? I couldn't get 
it to do anything.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the '?jsoncallback=?', especially 
since you define apiUrl as already having a trailing '?' elsewhere. So doesn't 
that make '??jsoncallback=?' ?

If you just don't want a JSON callback, you can use nojsoncallback=1. This 
worked for me:

this.apiUrl = 'http://api.flickr.com/services/rest';
apiKey = 'blah blah key here';
$.getJSON( apiUrl, { nojsoncallback: 1, format : 'json', api_key: apiKey, 
method : 'flickr.panda.getList'  } );

Some of them are already going. After talking with some of them about our
new parser and editor plans, and that we would be doing work on that in
Berlin, they said they were likely to send some people. Obviously it's up to
a variety of factors how many of Wikia's people show up, but we do know that
they are aware of the topics, the relevance of their work and what will be
done at the conference, and have shown interest.

Historically, Wikia sends a few people each year, and often presents on
something they are working on.

 As far as I know, the way the GPL works makes it effectively
 impossible to relicense a large project to something more permissive.
 You'd have to get permission from literally everyone who made
 nontrivial contributions, or else rewrite their code.  But if there's
 serious interest in this, someone should get an official opinion from
 Wikimedia's lawyers on how (or if) it could be done.

 Personally, I don't see any problem with a parser library being GPL.
 You can still link it with proprietary code as long as you don't

You'd have an issue with a proprietary application using the wikitext
parser as a library? You really find the LGPL completely unacceptable
in this situation?

Seems like kind of a hardline position to take. That same application
could make API calls to MediaWiki, using it in essentially the same
way,  without the license restrictions. Also, GPL, in our use case, is
fairly ineffective. Even if an application makes PHP calls directly
into MediaWiki, that application doesn't necessarily need to be GPL,
since there is no actual linking occurring. Not all MediaWiki
extensions are GPL, for instance.

Essentially, this will just limit a C version of the software, which
is slightly lame.

Meh. If we have a GPL library, I'll just wrap it in a wsgi python
library to act as a shim.

 The parser is not a parser, it's a macro expander with a pile of

Oh don't be silly. It may not be an LALR(1) parser or an LL parser or
even a recursive descent parser but last I checked parsing was the act
of breaking down a text into its elements, which the parser does. It
just does it in a pretty clunky way. Whether it stores the results in
an AST or in bunches of random state all over the place doesn't mean
it's doing something other than parsing.

A more accurate argument is that it's not just a parser since goes
directly on to transforming the input into HTML, which is the
equivalent of code generation.

 code that it outputs is highly dependent on the state of the wiki's
 configuration and database content at the moment of parsing. It also is
 useless to anyone wanting to do anything other than render a page into HTML,
 because the output is completely opaque as to where any of it
 was derived. Dividing the parser off into a library would require an
 substantial amount of MediaWiki code to be ported too just to get it
 working. On it's own, it would be essentially useless.

It seems we're getting bogged won in semantics because in MediaWiki we
use the word parser in two incompatible ways. 1) The PHP classes
which convert wikitext to HTML 2) A hypothetical or postulated part of
MediaWiki which does not exist to generate an intermediate form (AST)
between wikitext and HTML.

So the first thing we need to do is decide which of these two concepts
of parser we're talking about.

Would it be useful to have a library that can convert wikitext to HTML? Yes.
Would it be useful to have a library that can convert wikitext to an
AST? Unclear.
Would it be useful to have a library that can convert such AST to
HTML? Because of the semantic soup nobod has even brought this up yet.

 So, it's probably not an issue what license this hypothetical code would be
 released under.

I'm pretty sure the offline wikitext parsing community would care
about the licensing as a separate issue to what kind of parser
technology it uses internally.

 The parser has a configuration state, takes wikitext in, and gives
 back html. It pulls additional data from the database in these steps
 as well, yes. However, I don't see how this would be different than
 any other implementation of the parser. All implementations will
 require configuration state, and will need to deal with things like
 templates and extensions.

 Though I prefer the concept of alternative parsers (for all the
 reasons mentioned in the other threads), I do think having our
 reference implementation available as a library is a good concept. I
 feel that making it available in a suitable license is ideal.

 Afaik parser does not need a database or extension hooks for minimum but
 fully operational use.

 {{unknown templates}} default to redlinks,
 {{int:messages}} default to unknown,
 tags and {{#functions}} default to literals,
 {{MAGICWORDS}} to red links,
 etc...

 If a user of the parser would not have any of these (either none
 existing or no
 registry / database configured at all). It would fallback to the
 behaviour as if
 they are inexistant, not a problem ?

I agree a parser would not need a database but it would need a
standard interface or abstraction that in the full MediaWiki would
call to the database. Offline readers would implement this interface
to extract the wikitext from their compressed format or direct from an
XML dump file.

Some datamining tools might just stub this interface and deal with the
bare minimum.

Extension hooks are more interesting. I might assume offline readers
want as close results to the official sites as possible so will want
to implement the same hooks.

Other non-wikitext or non-page data from the database would also go
into the same interface/abstraction, or a separate one.

Andrew Dunbar (hippietrail)

 By having this available as a parser sites that host blogs and forums
 could potentially use wikitext to format their comments and forum
 threads
 (to avoid visitors from having to for example learn Wikitext for their
 wiki,
 WYSIWYM WYMeditor for WordPress and BBCode for a forum).

 Instead they could all be the same syntax. And within wiki context
 magic words, extensions, int messages etc. would be fed from the wiki
 database,
 outside just static.

I was surprised the change from span to div worked, since this widget is used 
in a lot of other places. But... okay
