Missing licences
Hello Marc, could you please add proper information on source and licence to every image you've uploaded? Some of them are copyrighted and are not really used on this site. Have a look at Image:Mediawiki-logo 171x105.png, Image:MediaWiki-icon-text_84x21.png, Image:Corneille.jpg, Image:150px-Pierre_corneille_auteur.jpg, Image:Phpdoc-logo-trans.png, Image:Sourceforge.net_logo.png. You can add to the files, of course. If you want to store and use Wikimedia logos, use the Commons please (most images are already there). Thanks and greetings --:Bdk: 05:00, 15 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Nice job you did... (my version became much too large and difficult to maintain due to vandalism)
 * Corneille's images : I am not sure we still need the images. Anyway, I should have preferably first look at commons, but, in fact, the images I used to illustrate Corneille's quotation came from en and fr
 * Mediawiki images : some attempts to cut existing images so that they may fit within text. Probably not needed anymore.
 * Sourceforge logo : I may not place the logo on commons (even if, for us, SF is of course related to our vision of sharing knowledge) because is is subject to http://www.vasoftware.com/legal.php (shortly said : non commercial) and commons may not accept non commercial. I don't know regarding mediawiki policy. Anyway we may decide not to use the logo.
 * PhpDoc : another logo related to our vision... http://www.phpdoc.org source indicates Copyright &copy; 2000-2005 Joshua Eichorn (one of the authors of phpDoc). I did not find the image on commons. If needed, may be we can ask the authorization? But again, the image was only needed because I made a very large page and I was willing to made it a little bit more smiling.

Is fair-use acceptable on mediawiki? Otherwise, I'll put the on Sourceforge and PhpDoc images...

Update to Extension:Permissions
I made a small addition to your excellent extension. It now displays the current user's (or any other user for that matter) permissions before the permission table. The new code is below. Feel free to include it into your extension. \n" ;                       // !STEP-6 OF BuildHtmlTable : returns the HTML string                        return $szhOut ;                }                // the utilities :                // could be private, but may be usefull elsewhere...                // !SF : function Wiki_2_Html( $szwMessage )                /**     * @param wikistring $szwMessage     * @return htmlstring $szhMessage     * @uses parse     * @uses getText     * @version 1.5.104.6      * @requires (MediaWiki 1.5, beta 4 , minor revision 6)     * @since 1.5.104.6 (2005-08-03)      * @internal rather rely on standard stuff when integrating the patch in the whole project     */                function Wiki_2_Html( $szwMessage )                {                        global $wgParser, $wgTitle, $wgOut ;                        $parserOutput = $wgParser->parse(                        $szwMessage                        , $wgTitle , $wgOut->parserOptions , true ) ;                       return $parserOutput->getText  ;                }                // !SF : function Translate($szOriginal)                /**     * a simplified version of MediaWiki_I18N::translate     * (does NOT support interpolation of variables)     *     * placed here to make this file standalone     * (we just need to translate 'Yes' into 'Oui', 'Si', 'Ya', etc *    * @param string $szOriginal * @return string $szTranslated * @version 1.5.104.7 * @internal rather rely on standard stuff when integrating the patch in the whole project */                function Translate($szOriginal) {			if ($szOriginal == 'val_yes') return "yes"; }               // !SF : end static functions : /**#@+-*/       }  // !END_OF_CLASS : Permissions // !STEP-5 OF wfSpecialPermissions : register, make sure this special page is known SpecialPage::addPage ( new Permissions ) ; } // !END-FUNCTION : wfSpecialPermissions // !EOF : includes/SpecialPermissions.php ?>

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Marc.M. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Marc.M~mediawikiwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:39, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
