[edit] vandalism

The main page is vandalized quite often these days. As I don't see reactions from sysop's, I hope you spend nice holidays...

Many honest visitors are watching regularly the page for a possible stable 1.5. but most vandal's are specialized in destroying releases info... ????

I know it's a pity and against our philosophy, but won't you consider limiting edit possibilities to logged users, at least for some days?

It's not too much an issue, as every honest contributor may still create an account...

[edit] sysop on mediawiki !

Hi, I'm a wikipedian from chinese wikipedia and I'm a sysop both in chinese wikipedia and wikimedia commons. Now, I'm doing some translation to chinese version on mediawiki.org. Could you make me a sysop please? --Vipuser 06:55, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Short URLs.

Thank you - a very comprehensive update. --HappyDog 01:10, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Steward

Hi! I hope you don't mind me asking, but I'm just curious as to why you and Hashar are local stewards on this wiki? Jon Harald Søby 22:21, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

i created this wiki originally, so i made myself a bureaucrat to add sysops (or rather i re-created it, it had existed before but wasn't used). i don't remember who bureaucratted hashar, but he's am MW developer/sysadmin, so it seems reasonable. Kate

[edit] Username change request

[edit] ABC music parser

Hi there, I saw that you had started the ABC Extension and I was wondering how I could help. What are you writing in? What's the current state of the extension, what needs work next? Thanks, Banaticus 17:36, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

i don't think anything is required, it's pretty much finished. like all MediaWiki extensions, it's written in PHP. Kate

Ok. Its release status says that it's in beta, so I thought there was more testing and coding to be done. Banaticus 16:34, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Production questions

• Can you point to somewhere where the extension is in play, and can be looked at?
• Is there the capability for adding lyrics in situ, or tied in with the musical notation?
• How might it be configured on a domain like WikiSource where the music is going to be universal, yet the lyrics will be in respective languages, and probably don't want to have multiples versions of the same notation. I see some scope with Wikisource:DoubleWiki Extension

Thanks. -- Billinghurst 14:33, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Some context may be useful (and we did chat in IRC). At Wikisource, we have a proofread of the month, and we were looking to work upon s:Index:One Hundred English Folksongs. We also have notations in previous works, sitting naked, and we have an amount of scans of sheet music. We are looking for a means to present the notations with the lyrics. -- Billinghurst 14:39, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
