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)

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

I need help at the main-page ca, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki/ca. I don't understand the reason why the older news (Informacions antigues ), appear in the front (main-page). Allman


 * Sorry, I have no clue about the main page template system. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 21:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Fixed. --HappyDog 17:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

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)

Extension Matrix
Fantastic page - thank you. You make a HappyDog very happy :-) --HappyDog 02:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm glad someone is using it :P -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 17:35, 23 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 $parser->parse. 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)


 * Ah I see- I'll clean up the variable names ASAP. Thanks again for looking into it though! Jonnylamb 16:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Applet extension
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?

Thanks,Sanchom 15:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * htmlspecialchars -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 19:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

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
I've write something in Extension_talk:GG but I don't understand what you mean. Why I should use htmlspecialhars for a digit input variable? --193.39.71.4 22:26, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
