[MediaWiki-l] Status of sitemap generators

Did anyone ever fix the sitemap generator maintenance script, after it broke in v1.16? See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:GenerateSitemap.php I put my sitemap index file into google and it found the .xml.gz files in that directory but gave me "Invalid URL" errors for each one. So I ran DaSc

[MediaWiki-l] Any security problems involved in letting administrators edit LocalSettings.php via a wiki page?

I want to let some of my administrators (in the wizards group) edit LocalSettings.php, so I used this snippet, which allows them to make changes by editing the Project:Shared_config.php page. Then I protected the page so that only wizards can edit it. Do you think this presents any security issues?

Re: [MediaWiki-l] deleteOldRevisions.php is an accident waiting to happen

Yeah, the reason I didn't submit it as a patch is that all I did was hack the extension to operate based on namespace rather than page IDs. Some people might look at that as a regression, if they wanted to continue using page IDs. I'm not really sure what would be the best way to make it capable of

I came up with something a little safer and easier for those who just want to delete old revisions from one namespace: https://www.mediawiki.org/ wiki/User:KryptoKronic/deleteOldRevisions.php The output looks like this: $ php deleteOldRevisions.php --delete 4 Delete old revisions Limiting to na

It depends on the wiki. Suppose, for instance, you're a RationalWiki user editing Conservapedia, and then the Conservapedia sysops decide, "Hey wait, this user is a troll, so let's block him and delete all this work." If he asks for copies of his articles, they might say, "We don't want to help you
