Extension:SubPageList

Reverted your recent changes. Not appropriate on the extension page. Better put them on the general sub pages help page. --Jeroen De Dauw 09:39, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

OK, will do. Badon 20:26, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Thanks for your help on freenode - #semantic-mediawiki

count format

how about

{{#ask: [[Category:Some category]]
        | format=count| default=0
}}

--Hypergrove 16:57, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

The default parameter has never worked for me. Does it work for you? I haven't investigated further to see if it's a reportable bug. I'm using MW 1.18 and SMW 1.7.0.2. Badon 17:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

I tested this a little further, and I don't think the default parameter is supposed to function in count queries, because at the very least, count should always produce 0 as a default. So, specifying a default value should be ignored by #ask and have no effect. Badon 18:12, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

User:Badon#Giving gifts to Project?

What do you think about housing User:Badon#Giving gifts in project space, maybe within the Extensions WikiProject? --Varnent (talk) 03:58, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

That's a brilliant idea, where do you want to put it? One thing to keep in mind is that it should apply to everyone, in every area. Extensions are great place to plant the seeds of my gift-giving ideas, but I want make sure that people are encouraged to take a look at the user page of every person that answers a question, gives a helpful suggestion, fixes bugs, adds features, does testing, shares useful advice, etc, etc. Naturally, you have to start somewhere, and I think the Extensions Project is the perfect place.

Also, have you heard of ChipIn?

Hmmm, I'm on the fence on this one.. One part of me is curious where the conversation on extension donations goes. Another is wondering if we should start with core bug fixes, which may be a more popular and neutral territory..

--Varnent (talk) 04:47, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm sure there are many ways the WMF can take the lead. Start with advocacy in encouraging extension developers to maintain their extensions, and go from there once an obvious next step becomes apparent. Badon (talk) 05:46, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Extension:RawMsg

I see you flagged Extension:RawMsg as {{incompatible}}. There is a fix already posted on Extension talk:RawMsg; the extension is in use on http://desciclopedia.org/wiki/Google (try a Google search on-page and it actually sends you to the real Google) a MediaWiki 1.20 (trunk) site. This is just the same $wgMessageCache->addMessage() issue that's breaking many other extensions under 1.18+ but it's entirely fixable. --Carlb (talk) 11:57, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

I saw your fix, but I felt flagging it was appropriate until the fix is properly integrated. I flagged it to draw attention in the hope that someone would see that a fix is already available, and needs to be integrated. Badon (talk) 19:18, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks!

Editor rights

Hello. You seem to be very familiar with MediaWiki and pretty active on this wiki. Would you like the editor permission? --Jasper Deng (talk) 02:36, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I would. Thank you for your consideration! Badon (talk) 02:40, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Done --Jasper Deng (talk) 02:43, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Template profiler

Hi, Badon, I just noticed that you asked about the template profiler extension several months ago. I should probably check that talk page more often :). Anyway, the profiler continues to work perfectly for me in 1.19, and AFAIK should continue working in 1.20, though I haven't tried it yet. Zocky (talk) 01:22, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
