Extension:News
Hi Duesentrieb, Hoping you can help, we are using your News extension on our new intranet however it isn't working. This is the code I am using however it is pulling any namespace through and it doesn't link back to the pages they are referring to.

If you can help my e-mail is chris.carr@sasdaniels.co.uk

Thanks

Extension:HTMLets
Hi Duesentrieb, I am using the HTMLets extension in my wiki to include some other files (tables of data) on my server. I noticed however, that if you use PDFExport, the content is not printed in the PDF, only the tags with the filename. Is there are way that the extension could be modified to include the page in the export?

Thank you! SpartanGuy07 (talk) 15:29, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Displaying Watchers in PageBy
Hi Duesentrieb. I've extended the PageBy code, adding a "watchers" parameter. If you set it true, it displays who is watching the page, in the same manner the contributors are displayed.

I administer a wiki and this feature has been one of the most requested by our users. I'm sure others would be interested in this feature. Would you like me to send you this code to add it to the PageBy extension? -- Robert Thew 13:54, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * You can put a patch on Extension:PageBy or the talk page. Not sure if I would want to add it... the feature is cool, but it would make more sense to have it as a separate extension IMHO.
 * Thanks for sharing your code :) -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 15:38, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

If you really want to contribute useful content, talk to us, be sinsible, don't start a crusade. As every wiki, this place has conventions. As in any other wiki, contributions that don't meet those conventions are moved/removed/changed. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 14:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Are you kidding? This place is ruled by User:Robchurch and his friends. He is vandalizing, simply deleting away content, making flase edit summaries, marks deletions as minor, blocks User:Tobias Conradi without giving a reason. Vandalizies Tobias' user and Tobias' talk page. User:Robchurch should be blocked.


 * You have been blocked for vandalizing his user page. That's a very valid reason.
 * Reverts are automatically marked as minor - since the don't contribute content.
 * "ruled by User:Robchurch and his friends" basically means "MediaWiki developers". Which is exactly who this wiki should be maintained by, don't you think?
 * Your actions over the last few days pretty much disqualify you to make any complaint about people being rude. Crossposting accusations would get you blocked from any wiki.
 * When your contributions on a wiki are undone, look for consensus, don't pick a fight. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 17:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps this is not the way, but. Would you help me?

Makesysop
For some reason, when I used Makesysop, it didn't work! What do I need to do to make it work like the Wikimedia wikis??

I tried to set rights for "User:Westholm@northmidlandswiki" but it said no such user existed, even though I have an installation with this user.

What should I do to get it working and to make it work like the Wikimedia meta wiki?? --Westholm 12:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * what exactly does "I have an installation with this user" mean? Makesysop only works for its "own" installation. Other than that, I have no idea. I never looked at Makesysop. Why are you asking me? -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 12:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

SimpleFeed extension
Regarding Extension:SimpleFeed,

Firstly, thanks for inforrming me of an XSS flaw in my extension.However, I am a little unsure where the flaw(s) is/are. Before anything gets sent back to the page it is parsed using. This seems to escape any HTML chars such as. Is this not sufficient, or am I overlooking something else? Thanks in advance!

Jonnylamb 12:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Oops, you are right, my bad - I missed the parser call at the bottom. Calling the variable holding the unparsed wikitext "itemhtml" added to the confusion :) I'll remove the warning. Thanks for looking into it. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 14:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

I see you noticed a huge vulnerability in the Applet extension that I posted. I want to fix that. Do you have any examples of validation code that I can use to exclude characters with special meaning?

Considering your News Extension
I have posted a patch for MW < 1.10 on the talk page of the extension. Jean-Lou Dupont 19:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hm, as far as I know it's not always safe to recycle the parser... but how's that related to 1.9 compatibility anyway? Cloning the parser should work in earlier version too. Can you supply a diff of your changes? that would make it mach easier for me to see what you did. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 13:13, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

SVN access
Do you think I could get SVN access for the extensions I have crafted? Jean-Lou Dupont 12:37, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * To get SVN access, post patches to Bugzilla. Do some small improvements / bug fixes. Maybe submit some extensions that way. Someone will review your patches and apply them (or complain to you). At some point, people will know your work well enough, and be tired of committing for you - and you'll get commit access. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 13:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

GG Extension

Disambiguating extensions
Hi Duesentrieb. I saw this conversation and thought I should let you know that there is precedent for disambiguation pages to be held in the extension namespace (e.g. [1] [2]). Personally I think this is fine. The early disambiguation pages were designed to deal with extensions that have the same name (e.g. there were several that were just called 'calendar') without giving any undue prominence, but the way that page has evolved to include all calendar-style extensions is, I think, quite useful, and best kept within the extension namespace. --HappyDog 01:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Amazon extensions
I created the Amazon extensions. How do I make it XSS proof? Any tip on how to escape in javascript. Thanks! 69.177.128.119 05:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Upload from Web - Thanks!
Re: MW:Project:Support_desk Thanks for the quick help. I can't believe that didn't come up in all my Google searching.

I've added the following to LocalSettings.php and the Special:Upload page has changed to show both 'local' and 'web' upload boxes, however the Web upload one is grayed out. Am I missing something?

$wgAllowCopyUploads = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['upload_by_url'] = true;

Thanks again, -Blckdmnd99 13:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * There are checkboxes (or more accurately, radiobuttons) to the left of the two fields (file and url). Click the one to the left of the URL field to activate it (this will also grey out the file field). If this doesn't work for you, please try again with a different browser, and report it as a bug, clearly stating with which browsers on which OS it does or does not work. Disabling JavaScript would be another option to try.
 * Btw, you shouldn't need to thouch $wgGroupPermissions to use this - at least I didn't have to when testing this. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 20:56, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ooops, seems to be restricted to sysop (admin) per default. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 21:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I think I've narrowed it down. The issue occurs on Firefox, IE6, and Safari cross platform but based on the error 'toggle_element_activation' I see in Firefox, it looks like this has to do with MediaWiki Javascript Support Functions. Not sure exactly what that means but I'm thinking I'm missing something in my custom themes that I need to incorporate. Thanks again. Blckdmnd99 14:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * site[ResourceLoader|default|dependencies=mediawiki.util,jquery.mwExtension,ext.gadget.enwp-boxes]|site.js|site.css
 * HotCat[ResourceLoader]|HotCat.js

After the gadget 'site' is active, I get following error message in my Chrome Developer Tools:

As a result, the WYSIWYG-Editor is not shown in editing mode any more. In addition, the second Gadget 'HotCat' is not working. With the gadget 'site' deactivated, the 'HotCat' and the WYSIWYG-Editor are working properly.

How to keep CategoryTree stayed opened after clicking any category in sidebar in Vector skin?
When I am going down in one category and subcategories (depth 5-6), after loading the specified category, the category tree is folded again. Is there any chance the tree stays opened? Please reply ASAP... How to keep nodes expaneded even after clicking any category from the tree?Any code changes to be done in Categorytree extension? It would be great to have the tree expanded to the current page after clicking any article, so that the users can get a quick impression about the location of the current article in the overall context.--Satyamcompany (talk) 14:49, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Extension:Polyglot
Servus! Irgendwann im Dezember, I asked for the Polyglot extension to be converted to git (I use the Polyglot extension on OmegaWiki, it works great!).

I did tell them clearly that I was not a developer of that extension, however they put me as "Gerrit project owners for the Polyglot extension." and identified me as an author in Extension:Polyglot as I just found out. So, just to tell you, I am not stealing your extension, and would gladly have you instead of me as project owner, as it should be. Now of course if you don't plan to maintain the extension, I can do it, since I use it on OmegaWiki, and I regularly keep up to date with the latest versions of MW.

Ah du bist doch auch Daniel Kinzler aus Wikidata :-). Now I must merge your two personalities in my brain. --Kip (talk) 09:33, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Extension:Lockdown - Sperrn für alle außer...
Moin! Gibt es eine Funktion um bestimmte Seiten aus der IT-Administration nur für die User1 und User2 zur Bearbeitung bzw. zum Lesen freizugeben? Alle anderen sind gesperrt. --JanTappenbeck (talk) 12:28, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Extension:Gadgets update for MW 1.26?
First of all, thank you very much for wrote Extension:Gadgets. It is very useful. It is also bundled with MW 1.26. However, lots of Gadget can't work any more under MW 1.26 due to resourceloader asynchronous loading. Any plan on updating Extension:Gadgets to solve these problem? --Zoglun (talk) 18:46, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Lockdown broken on MW 1.27
Hi

your extension Lockdown is broken in MW 1.27

It is important for me because I use it for several purposes, the most important to hide a private Namespace from normal wiki users.

Do you think you will be able to make it working on MW 1.27, soon?

regards

Edit to JSON data model
I read your edits to Wikibase/DataModel/JSON. Sorry, but "integers from -31^2+1 to +31^2-1 may be represented as number literals" is not correct. Perhaps you meant integers from -(2^31) + 1 to (2^31) -1? Jc3s5h (talk) 00:18, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Report bugs
Thanks for making this useful extension. Where can I report bugs for the News extension? I notice the following: --Belze (talk) 15:15, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * the use of a deprecated function in NewsRenderer.php ($content = $article->getContentObject;)
 * The RSS feed with categories=CATEGORY is listed in the RSS feed page itself because it also becomes part of the category
 * Feature request: Order items by page creation time (useful for listing news items and ignoring changes in typos)

= Bug? Namespaces Parameter Fails on Extension:CategoryTree = TOC tree works fine on my site, gunretort.xyz: returns all categories and pages. This works, no prob:

Extension doc says:

> a list of namespaces from which pages should be shown in the tree (since rev:36864, July 2008). The entries in the list must be namespace names, separated by spaces. The main namespaces can be represented by "-" or "0". This overrides the mode option.

But, none of these work-- i get an empty tree:

How to Show All Categories in CategoryTree Without a "Root" Category?
Hi, and thx for awesome extension!

Seems all syntax requires the admin manually type a "root" category.

But my wiki doesn't have a "root" category and subcategories-- it just has a collection of categories.

How to show all categories, without typing a "root" category?

Might be here, unsure: Extension:CategoryTree

This returns nothing:

thx!

extension:CategoryTree
I suggest an option to flatten the category tree. In the English Wikipedia, a bundle of categories can be renamed, however, placing the templates in each template can be tedious. There is a bot but it can only do one level of subcategories. Flattening the categorytree into a list will help editors make changes to a large amount of categories quickly.Manabimasu (talk) 19:39, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Categorytree
Hi,

Are you the one that developed Categorytree?

I would like to ask for some adaptation of it. Are you the address?

Thanks a lot. Aizenr (talk) 16:46, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)
