Code review
Thanks for chipping in on code review. I confess I'm a little nervous, though, because I have only seen you mark one "fixme", and lots of "ok", which probably means you're marking "ok" more than you should be. For example, I see you marking things as "resolved" or "ok" after the first "fixme" is addressed. Does that mean you've done a full review yourself, or have you merely verified that the original "fixme" is resovled? If it's the latter, then I'd like to ask you instead mark those as "new", since reviewers may stop reviewing once they've found the first problem. -- RobLa-WMF 21:21, 22 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Rob. Excuse my late reply, I wasn't there. When I mark a revision as ok, every line I've checked. In r105078, I marked it as resolved because it saw to be solved. I wrote for the case that I still wrong "Seems being fixed. Marked it as resolved". I hope it is? Thanks for the advice. In future, I will wait at marking revisions as resolved.

Anyone can get developer access
Hi, Tim! I saw your comment on someone who was asking for developer access and just wanted to let you know -- ANYONE, including anyone who has never developed for MediaWiki before, can get developer access. I see no reason to raise barriers for this.

Thanks! Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator (talk) 15:40, 9 April 2012 (UTC)


 * You don't know if the requesting user knows what does it mean to develop something. Some users might think they are coding something because they are learning how to work with CSS. You don't know if the user even knows what PHP is. I don't agree with this, the user should at least know how to install and configure a wiki. If you don't want arguments for or against anything, it would be appropriate to remove the Discussion section. Tim (SVG)  15:57, 9 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Tim, thanks for the reminder -- I probably should rename the "discussion" section to something else. (There should be a space for the person granting access to ask questions or give instructions, like "that shell name is taken -- how about these alternatives?")
 * Can you tell me what harm comes from granting developer access to people who are unskilled, new, or confused? I personally don't see the downside, but perhaps you're seeing something I'm not.  Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator (talk) 16:41, 9 April 2012 (UTC)


 * We don't know if an user can be trusted. Users should give a small example of a self-written code. It's okay if there's only a little experience cos little experiences can be expanded by working on some projects. Dcoetzee is a trusted user because he's a sysop at Wikimedia Commons, sure, that's not the problem. I know a putative developer who is just able to copy others' extensions and in cases like this it's not okay if he or she gets access to represent oneself. If the majority thinks your way is the better one, I'll accept this :-) Tim (SVG)  16:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * So it sounds like your concern is that people might use developer access to plagiarize. Is that the only concern, or is there something else you're worried about?  People can plagiarize whether they have developer access or not, right?  And if we find that someone's been acting in a way contrary to our values, we can cancel their access.
 * I really do want to understand the possible downsides of the wide-open approach to access -- if you have any other concerns, please share them! As you probably understand, the upsides are ENORMOUS.  People who learn with us will tend to stay with us as contributors.  The less gatekeeping we do, the faster the process can move.  And it's more in keeping with our values as a Wikimedia community: inclusivity and a low barrier to entry.  But I do want to hear arguments from the other side.

Re:Editor / Sichter
Guten Abend, nun ich betreibe selbst einen Wiki und arbeite momentan daran, die Version 1.19.0 stabil zum laufen zu bekommen und nebenbei helfe ich hier natürlich gern bei den nötigen Übersetzungen. Vielen Dank für das erteilte Recht, ich bin zwar nicht ständig aktiv, werde aber weiterhin gelegentliche Übersetzungen tätigen. Gruß Sandro aka Abani79 (talk) 20:11, 3 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Nicht zu danken. Wir freuen uns immer über Helfer, besonders weil ich viele Wiki-Betreiber kenne, die sich hier nur mit Google Übersetzer weiterhelfen zu wissen. Solltest du Probleme mit etwas Spezifischem bei deinem Wiki habe, so kann ich dir vielleicht dabei helfen, wenn du wünschst. Tim (SVG)  20:16, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Hallo nochmal, es gibt so einige Probleme bei der aktuellen Version, Dateiupload funktioniert seit Umstieg von Version 1.18.3 nicht mehr korrekt und es werden z.B. bei den Letzten Änderungen die Bilder der Pfeile (arrow.png) nicht dargestellt, allerdings habe ich auch jede Menge Erweiterungen installiert, nur um mal ein paar Sachen genannt zu haben. Abani79 (talk) 20:22, 3 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Eine Erweiterung, welche durch Hooks Einfluss auf diese Funktionen nimmt, wäre durchaus denkbar. Sind die Pfeile absolut nicht eingebunden (also nicht im Quelltext des Browsers) oder ist nur die Quelle der Bilder falsch? Tim (SVG)  20:27, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Guten Tag SVG, zunächst mal eine Frage zu "Hooks", gibt es eigentlich eine kalre Übersetzung dazu, in deutsch wäre es z.B. mit "Haken" übersetzbar, bin mir allerdings nicht ganz sicher, ob man es im englischen genauso meint. In der Tat sind über 10 Erweiterungen installiert, u.a. WikiEditor, der in Version 1.18.3 noch funktionierte (ist noch auf meinem Webspeicher) und nun nicht mehr, ich kopierte ihn ins neue Verzeichnis "wiki" für die Installation von Version 1.19, dennoch wird die Oberfläche nicht geladen, ich könnte mir vorstellen, das die Versionen der vorhandenen Erweiterungen evtl. zu viele Fehler auslösen könnten, bin mir aber nicht sicher. Abani79 (talk) 14:57, 4 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Da „Hook“ ein Fachwort ist (ähnlich wie „Bug“) sollte es nicht verändert werden. Höchstens eine Übersetzung in der Einleitung auf der Seite „Manual:Hooks/de“ in Klammern wäre denkbar. Tim (SVG)  15:02, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

IRC
Just curious, do you use IRC, and if so, what's your IRC nick? I use the Wikimedia channels on a daily basis.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:24, 8 June 2012 (UTC)


 * You can find me in #mediawiki as Tim_Weyer but I'm mostly not online (should add it to my start script). I'll first have to search for the right commands to log me in etc. Tim (SVG)  17:31, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
