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!

 * 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)
