This page is not spam, I am working on something on my own user space, please don't delete it. heather walls 07:16, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello IAlex I am working on a wiki project and the current media wiki developers we are using feel like the project is a bit too large for them. I need assistance from other developers to help fill in the gaps. Would you be able to help me with this project? Please let me know. If so, we can talk on skype and I can get you caught up on everything. My skype id is sunil.wagle1. Thanks so much IAlex and I look forward to hearing back from you!
Hi IAlex, I see you removed the addMessages() function here: Special:Code/MediaWiki/76110. Is there another way to add dynamic messages to the wiki? I have an extension that adds a message per namespace in the wiki where the name of the message is based on the name of the namespace. The namespace configuration is stored in the database and changes on occasion so there's no way to create a static message file. Any ideas? --Cneubauer 15:09, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
You can try the MessagesPreLoad hook.
Hi, (..oh threaded discussion, never used it before...) I had a glad look at http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/specials/SpecialUpload.php?revision=102112&view=markup#l468 and wonder why the headings are still not internationalized on Commons when using the upload-form e.g. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=deownwork .
What do we have to change in order to enable this feature (get {{int:license-header}} instead of == Licensing ==)? I searched the help-pages here but they weren't really helpful. Thanks for your advice.

You need to ask the sysadmins to add those messages (license-header, filedesc, filestatus and filesource) in $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg in Bugzilla.
Thank you. bugzilla:32587 - done.
Alex, it would be great to see you at an upcoming MediaWiki developers' meeting, if you have time. Thanks.
best,
I've restored User:Fabrice Florin. It says in the third paragraph that he is working for the Wikimedia Foundation on the Article Feedback Tool, which is certainly within project scope. Hopefully that's fine.
Thank you for restoring my user page!
Yes, I started work for the Wikimedia Foundation as a consultant on September 26th. I am working with Eloquence, Jorm, Howief and DarTar, among others.
I look forward to collaborating with you and other Wikimedians to help engage readers to participate thoughtfully on Wikipedia.
Onward!
Fabrice
I'm a newbie extension author here... am I to understand that without changing any files in Configure I can add Configure support for my extension using $wgConfigureAdditionalExtensions? Is this the prefered way to do it? Where should I be putting this in my extension.php file? In the constructor for my extension class? Will you load it, otherwise how would it ever get called? Am I forced to use a init function instead?
The first part is correct. You need to define your extension in $wgConfigureAdditionalExtensions after including the Configure extension itself but before calling efConfigureSetup() since the inclusion of the extensions sets that variable to an empty array (to prevent register globals vulnerability) and it will be used in efConfigureSetup(). The best way to do this is to put it directly in LocalSettings.php between the two statements described just above.
Alex, I'm not sure whether you're already on the wikitext-l mailing list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitext-l . That's where we're discussing plans for the new MediaWiki parser and it would be great if you joined and shared your thoughts. Thanks.

Hi IAlex, the reason for my insert was to determine why Project:Deliberately unused templates shows up in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion ... any idea?
The categorisation of that was due to the translations of that template, I corrected them to correctly pass the nocat parameter.
Tried the same, but now the translated speedy-templates show up in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion :(
I documented a 1.16.1 configuration setting and created the above-named category, then discovered mediawiki.org's category templates for the first time. I tried to model my work after the 1.16.0 category -- hope my edits were done correctly. Maiden taiwan 21:33, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanx for the message. This is my first Wiki I didn't know. where are these settings made ? I see I thought I was editing on my new wiki sorry. Mlpearc powwow 19:42, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
please could you help me i can't restrict page per namespace >>>do u think there is a problem at Configureextension???
You are talking about $wgNamespaceProtection? It has no effect when you enter rights in the textboxes?
Extension:SocialProfile + Postgres
Hi, IAlex. I'm sysop on pt.wikipedia and eo.wikipedia and I was in the last Wikimania, in Poland. I'm looking for tools that integrates MediaWiki with other Web 2.0 resources, and this extension seems to be very useful. Unfortunately, nobody's developed the PostgreSQL schema for SocialProfile yet, as Jack Phoenix said. As you are an expert on that, would you please tell me if it's a too difficult thing to do? Thanks. Castelobranco 19:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Alex, I have a request for you: Are you able to develop a modified version of the "Configure"-Extension, with that bureaucrats can edit only usergrouprights, like in Extension:GroupPermissionsManager. That would be great! (Sorry, my English is not very good) Regards
Sorry, but I only have a little bit of time, so I not going to do big changes. What you can do is restrict all other settings with $wgConfigureEditRestrictions (you'll need to copy the list, since I don't think this can be done automatically).
I see you deleted a couple of pages, I'm wondering if you can do username changes. Thanks!
Yes, but you can put our request on Project:Requests so that all bureaucrats will see it.
Hi IAlex,
from a usability's view point there's no extension out there that is comparably helpful like configure extension. As far as I know no central MediaWiki customization script exists capable of accelerating system administrative tasks. Up to now maintaining a flat LocalSettings files with myriad php variables is quite ackward and lacks any ease of use.
Therefore I strongly suggest the transferral of configure extension into MediaWiki core code. How could the transferral be promoted?
Thanks and keep up that precious work!

Hi!
I know for a good part of administrators, having to edit LocalSettings.php is hard, but there're still some problems:
- Current system is not suitable for Wikimedia itself (i.e. Wikipedia, this wiki, ...), it is not as fast as having LocalSettings.php, it can't change settings based on current time and request variables.
- If this was integrated to core, it would need a complete rewrite of how settings are defined and modified, since currently it's very easy to have an error somewhere
So the extension won't be moved to core before someone will take time to fix these problem (and I don't have this time right now).
Hi IAlex, a quick favour: in Template:Languages, could you please change the table entry that reads Portugese to Portuguese?
I'm planning to do an extension configuration project for GSoC 2010. It's pretty closely related to Configure, and I'll probably end up having a lot of questions about it, and a few discussions with you about involved issues might be very constructive then. Now my question is if you are willing to have such discussions and expect have the time for them? (this would be end May, June)
