Reproducing the createPage functionality from SF_CreatePageJob.php
Hi Yaron, I apologize if this is not the right venue to ask, and for my persistence in seeking your guidance. I think I now understand the code in SF_CreatePageJob but I still don't know how I could use it in a hook to get the functionality I want: I'd like all red links to have their pages created automatically once an article is saved. I tried this syntax, but it didn't work: $wgHooks['ArticleSaveComplete'][] = 'SF_CreatePageJob.run';

Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you! (Robolobster)


 * That's C- (or Java-)style syntax - 'SF_CreatePageJob::run' might work better instead. Yaron Koren (talk) 11:56, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Extension:Header_Tabs question
Hello - Please excuse me for the interruption.

I find that asking questions on the talk pages of extensions often get unanswered.

I absolutely LOVE your extension, and I just was hoping if you had a minute if you could answer this simple question?

I am confused where the body tag is located.

RE: ''In the 'skins-yui' folder, create a new skin class (for example: ) to the   tag.

Where is the  tag? In combined-history-min.js?

I really appreciate your time. Have a great weekend. Igottheconch (talk) 17:15, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Extension:Semantic Forms/Creating query forms
15:50, 22 November 2013‎ Yaron Koren (talk | contribs)‎. . (3,638 bytes) (-130)‎. . (Rejected the last text change (by Hans Oleander) and restored revision 782233 by Daniel K. Schneider: "[ and ]" refers to the square bracket characters "[" and "]". I agree it's a little confusing...) (undo | thank) [automatically checked]
 * Ah, ok - sorry then for deleting this, thought it was some accidental leftover. Using quotes ("[" and "]") like in your comment might make that obvious. - What was the reason to not accept this paragraph: "Another possibility is to embed a default value in the actual query form, using the default=value parameter in the field definition."? It had taken me a while to figure this out, as the char entity trick mentioned before did not work for internal (double square bracket) links in my case, only by constructing an external (single square bracket) link.--Hans Oleander (talk) 16:53, 22 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi - yes, quotes would probably be better; they were left out because some people, when they see quotes, think that the quotes should go into the wikitext... you can't win. :( Anyway, sorry that, by rejecting that edit, I rejected the other change you made, which seems perfectly valid. I just added it in again, modified slightly. Yaron Koren (talk) 18:20, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Multilingual SemanticMediaWiki
Hi, have you seen the latest versions of this proposal? Its scope seems much clearer to me now. Are you willing to mentor it? --Nemo 10:00, 6 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't think it's entirely clear yet (see the "More thinking is required..." part), but yes, I'd be willing to help out. I'm already a mentor for one project and a co-mentor for another, and I don't know if you're allowed to be a mentor for more than two projects, but even if all three projects get accepted, I could help out either officially or unofficially. Yaron Koren (talk) 12:47, 6 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Fantastic! An applicant would help with the "more thinking" part. :) I don't think being (co-)mentor for many projects is a formal problem, it's more a problem of capacity on your end. If there are many applications we'll figure out some solution. --Nemo 12:56, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Please check my answer about "query string"
Extension_talk:Semantic_Forms here is my question!


 * Alright, I checked it. :) Yaron Koren (talk) 22:25, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
