Chriswaterguy:

I saw your note about being on OpenOffice and not having access to the Word to MediaWiki macros.

I wanted to let you know that there is an OpenOffice extension for Mediawiki.

Once you install it, you just send your document to the Mediawiki of your choice. It prompts you for the URL and your ID and Password, and posts it as slick as can be.

The link to the extension is:

AbuseFilter's article_articleid variable
I saw your edit regarding this variable. I found myself on a public wiki that this variable isn't 0 when you inspect existing edits. But I haven't seen it failing when inspecting edits that triggered a filter. Is this the problem you've experienced? That remembered that I have to search if a bug exists for this one or add it myself :) but I want to test with the latest version first. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:09, 3 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I can't remember the details now, but I'm using "old_size ==0" - seems to work well! --Chriswaterguy (talk) 07:17, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, [ 1203601] led me here. I can reproduce the issue. When edits pass through the filter,  equals   as expected. The problem is when trying (i.e. debugging) some filter code against a past edit: because the page now exists,   (unexpectedly) equals the page id, but it should be   as it was the value when the edit happened.
