Hello. I'm interested in running my en.wikipedia bots on Labs. If possible, could I please have a labs account? Thanks,
Hi Ryan,
Spent the last few hours scouring all sorts of info over the wsDomain issues. I see that there is still no fix, and still lots of confusion.
I just finished an installation of Mediawiki + Ldap and immediatly ran into the issue. config: Apache 2, Server 2008 r2 x64, Mysql, Php 5.2 thread safe - vc6, xcache for php 5.2
I was trying to dig into it, and to do so i did a quick "search in all files" in the mediawiki root dir for "wsdomain" (not case sensitive). I got 133 hits in 3 files, only 4 of which were not in LdapAuthentication.php. In fact those 4 are the only hits outside of the LDAP plugin at all. (My resutls might be a *slight* bit off as i have added some of the "fixes" ive read about...nothing is working) I can produce this error ever time, by simply visiting the main wiki page and then clicking login. I have so far *only* seen it when a user is *not* logged in. Logging in makes it go away, and in fact possibly not come back. I logged in and out on Firefox and the problem went away...so i had to use Chrome to see it again. As long as i dont log in on Chrome i can make it happen over and over.
The question is...where is $_SESSSION['wsDomain'] being set? I cant find it? Everywhere i find it, its being refrenced, not set.
Id like to help fix this. I can collect any information you want, and if needed we may even be able to give you remmote access to examine the setup/system.
Interested in development of Wikimedia Labs as a tool for extension development. I have SVN commit access - would it be possible to get that linked to a Labs account? Thank you!
Yep. Labs isn't fully set up for an easy extension development environment right now, but if you are willing to set most things up manually right now, it'll work. I need the following information from you:
- Your preferred wiki user name
- Your SVN account name
- Your preferred email address
You can send me this via wiki email, or via rlane at wikimedia dot org.
In the ACTRIAL discussion you said:
Why don't we instead make a policy that marks "crap" articles as being poor quality, then funnel our efforts into make them good? Instead of deleting something, why don't you take a few minutes to make it better?
Maybe that was just rhetoric, but if it was a serious question, the reason is that, though many articles are indeed flagged for improvement, when we refer to crap articles created as first edit by non-autoconfirmed users, we mean "articles" like "Ryan X born 7 August 1997 is the coolest man in the universe" or "Tommy Z is gay and has no friends" or (a few from my recent deletion log):

Yes, and there are examples of legitimate content and non-crap stub articles being deleted because the person didn't cite sources, or it's a stub. In the old days this content would be marked as [citation needed], or marked as a stub. This leaves around content that others see as needing citation or being a stub and it entices them to make it better.
Yes, certainly there are examples of that, but you seemed to be saying that deletion is always bad because it removes information that could have been improved. People often say that who do not know what the actual new page list of an anyone-can-edit site looks like. My point was to illustrate that many new "articles" are not amenable to improvement, and those are the "crap articles" people were talking about.
Did you read Special:Code/MediaWiki/78427#c12153?
I thought I had gone back and fixed the rest of it. I had forgotten. Thanks for the reminder. Fixed.
