If making different namespaces per filetype wasn't feasible, what about making [[File:]] better so it automatically returns the best way to use the media-- tag for images, video/audio tags (or fallbacks) as appropriate. That way if a file is changed (ie ogg over png) it still displays properly. Th

It seems that reply doesn't work. So I'll send a new message. Since the static HTML Wikipedia is not updating (please update), and XML updates like everyday, the logical choice is to go with XML.

OK. I think I am now in sync. I checked out 1.14.1 (from the branches arm of r53568) and merged the local changes to parserTests.inc and parserTests.txt. Out of the box, 1.14.1 generates 40 parser test failures. With the code modifications, it generates 24 (i.e., 14 fewer). I have the patches f

2009-07-20 Thread dan nessett
Correction: When I tried to create a patch for parserTests.inc and parserTest.txt I discovered the directory I was working from was not under SVN control. So, I created a new working copy of 52088 and when I ran the tests, they reported a databased selection error. So, I cannot claim the tests

[Wikitech-l] "known to fail" switch added to parserTests

2009-07-20 Thread dan nessett
I have modified parserTests to take a "known to fail" switch so those tests that have always failed now pass. It was pretty simple. It only required 3 changes to parserTests.inc and some editing on parserTests.txt. I added an option for each test called flipresult. When this option is specified
