[Wikitech-l] Poll: What algorithms do you program into your wikis?

As research for a potential presentation topic at EMWCon 2020 [0], I'm polling the community. What algorithms do you program into your wikis? I'm curious to learn about technical methods, policies, and criteria for measuring "success". I'm interested in this concept because of how algorithms are

[Wikitech-l] MW Function for parsing and modifying template arguments on a page

I'm working on a server-side script that will periodically revise wiki pages that all use the same template. Is there a function I can use that will parse a page and then find and replace template arguments with values I determine within my script? For example, let's say I have Template:Beer like

[Wikitech-l] Search Flow using ES/CirrusSearch in MW 1.25?

I'm referencing [1] in an attempt to get Cirrus Search (Elasticsearch) to search and return results from Flow boards in MW 1.25. Some of the scripts like FlowSearchConfig.php don't seem to be in REL1_25, but they do seem to be in REL1_26. Does this mean I won't be able to get this to work in 1.25

Re: [Wikitech-l] Project Idea " Extension: Offline MediaWiki "

See also this unfunded grant proposal [1]. This is just for offline reading capability. If you want to level up, you could create a way to have multiple (remote) clones of a wiki that are edited offline and later synchronized with the "master wiki". This was discussed at Semantic MediaWiki

Re: [Wikitech-l] Tutorials / HowTos for VisualEditor

I'm also interested in this kind of information. Right now I'm specifically interested in what I can use as an equivalent to a hook for when a user saves a page revision using VE. I'm working on an extension that logs user actions (and does more with that information). I have figured out how to

[Wikitech-l] oldimage naming convention

In the version history of an image (or any attached file in MediaWiki), the page displays Date/Time with a link to that version. The timestamp displayed is the upload timestamp of that version. If you look closely, you can see that the real filename includes a different timestamp. This turns out

[Wikitech-l] VE stopped working on 1.25 after import update of wiki db (1.23-1.25)

We have an existing wiki using MW 1.23. We are working on a build script to generate a wiki using MW 1.25. Eventually the script will also automate the database import and update, but for now I'm still learning the steps. I built a VM with 1.25 and VE using some scripts that we are building[1].
