Blank pages by SpecialBannerController ?
Hi Kaldari, Since the Fundraising has started I get quite a few blank pages here and there. The following I have gathered so far: which is a use of  that is not in an inline -tag. (added in r72932) Krinkle 18:46, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Updated CentralNotice documentation
Hello,

I am still "diving in" to find out how those things work, so I have have updated some documentation. I would be grateful if you could review that since I might have misunderstood something.

WikiLove To ar.wikipedia
Hello Kaldari. I noticed the new feature in English Wikipedia - Wikilove, I liked it. I also noticed that you're a member of the team of designers. Is it possible to transfer the WikiLove feature button to Arabic Wikipedia, and how? Thanks in advance. --Zack 22:00, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, it does. --Zack 00:17, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey Kaldari, WikiLove went Arabic finally, still one more thing: the Make Your Own tab (ar: آخر "Other") is not functioning, do you have any idea where does that come from? (see wikipedia:ar:user:Kaldari for instance, and wikipedia:ar:mediawiki:WikiLove.js for the script) --Zack 18:39, 29 July 2011 (UTC) When any of the four tabs is hovered, a small segment of the left side appears in the right side, is there something we can do about it? --Zack 19:10, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it has to do with the right-to-left handling. I'll see if I can fix it. Kaldari 21:46, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Signature in defaultOptions.js
> It is recommended to simply copy this file to your MediaWiki:WikiLove.js and change it to your wishes.

When I did this, the four tildes got expanded into my user name, and hence all the barnstars have my name as the sender. What's the right way to paste defaultOptions.js into this page?

How about adding Ribbons to wikilove?

Soc 2012
Hi Ryan,

Jeroen suggested you're possibly the person to speak to regarding my 'begging' for some work to improve Wikinews' toolset via Summer of Code 2012. Since I, personally, have zero confidence I could get up-to-speed and implement something robust enough, I'm going cap-in-hand for any and all input/advice/suggestions I can get.

If you check the jottings linked-to from my userpage, you'll see Wikinews is trying rather hard to use FlaggedRevs as a 'quite formal' CMS review mechanism.

How I would put the current situation is to say that, "everyone on Wikinews is too close to the problems to see a goood, reusable, solution." However, the small userbase we have are all quite smart people, able to give quality feedback on suggestions and proposals, and not afraid to try new things. Wikinews was first to put Vector live as a default, and we would've taken FlaggedRevs before deWP, had the chance been given to us.

I'm pushing, if not outright begging, around the MediaWiki wiki for people to look at Wikinews as a testbed for bleeding edge stuff. Visual editor? We want it last week. More sophisticated forms-type stuff? Yes please!

Any help, or constructive criticism, you can provide is most welcome. --Brian McNeil (talk) 18:01, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Application for GSoC
Hi Ryan,

I had mailed my proposal for ideas a couple of weeks back on the Wikitech-I mailing list, & based on a lot of suggestions & discussions, I created my User page for GSoC Ideas.

After reviewing the MediaWiki GSoC page, I reckon that any Gadget (javascript/jQuery) related projects would be mentored by you.

So, kindly let me know your suggestions on the list of ideas that I have in mind & their feasibility.

Also, could you please give me your email address?

Re: GSoC 2012
Hi!,

I am Vivek Kumar Bagaria from IITM, India. I am applying for GSoC 2012 for MediaWiki, as your interest include extension and gadget development, it would be awesome if you could comment on my Gsoc_Proposal which is an extension for multiple watchlists - Extension:WatchGroup.

Thank You.

GSoC Integrate "Upload from Flickr"
Hi Ryan,

I know you may have a runner for this idea but I'll keep doing my best to submit a good proposal. if possible I would like to receive some feedback from you. What I'm planning to do till tomorrow before deadline is: update some code I have on Google Code and try to fix a bug I entered yesterday [Bug 35702] (a bug I found in UploadWizard).

Thank you in advance!

WikiLove messages
Hi. Sumana suggested I ask you about a problem I noticed involving WikiLove and it's messages: On the 6th March I customised MediaWiki.org's WikiLove barnstar messages so that they weren't enwiki-specific (e.g. [ Wikilove-barnstar-tireless-desc]). But looking at the UI for WikiLove now, the default messages are still there. Any idea what's going on here? Should a bug be put in bugzilla? -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 19:53, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Identifying disambiguation pages
I noticed your post at wikitech-l: Disambiguation features: Do they belong in core or in an extension?.

Nico rightly pointed out that core code already handles disambiguation pages specially in some ways (Special:Disambiguations, MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage). But that is a bit of a hack.

It occurs to me that a fundamentally more robust and flexible way to handle disambiguation pages would be to move them all into their own namespace.

For example, on this wiki, Administrators could redirect to Disambiguation:Administrators. Or, on enwiki, Bow and Bow (disambiguation) could both redirect to Disambiguation:Bow

This would make it much more consistent with the ordinary wikipage functions and internationalization, as well as making it easy to programmatically identify disambiguation pages without affecting the database schema.

hi.

in the js file, ext.thanks.thank.js, line #53, you define an object member named "class".

this is a reserved word in IE, and cause the module to break (not runtime - this breaks at loadtime. you need to enclose the filed name in quotes, i.e., instead of, you need to have  . in order to test it, load the module using IE (e.g. on enwiki, or some other test wiki where it's enabled), and activate "compatibility mode". you should see the breakage as soon as you open a history page. peace - קיפודנחש (talk) 14:54, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Plans for Extension:Disambiguator
Gday Kaldari. Would you please be able to either tell me, or point me towards the broader plans for the extension. I see that the latest tech news says that it has been deployed at enWP, but where else are the plans, and if there are bigger plans, what is the timetable? Thanks. — billinghurst  sDrewth  13:36, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Howdy billinghurst. The plan right now is to deploy Extension:Disambiguator to all the WMF wikis and then remove the old core code (probably in the next week or so). There is a bigger plan involving building a mobile app for fixing disambiguation links, but I don't know the details on that and can't find any documentation for it yet. I think Jared Zimmerman is the person to ask about it. Kaldari (talk) 20:38, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Substitute for getRawText
Hi, I am working on making Extension:InterwikiMap (specifically, InterwikiMap.classes.php) work properly for MW v1.21 and after. Now that Revision's  has been deprecated, what is the best substitute for

returns a Content object. How do I get the current revision text from that object? Thanks, Leucosticte (talk) 09:34, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Leucosticte: It's a bit complicated now since a revision can consist of data other than WikiText (see WikiData). If your extension is only working with WikiText revisions, you can do the following... First, in any case you have to get both the Content and a ContentHandler from the Revision. ($revision->getContent( Revision::RAW ); $revision->getContentHandler;) Then you can use the ContentHandler::getContentText convenience function on the Content object. Note that that function only works for WikiText. Anything else will just become serialized or throw an error. But if you know that you're only dealing with WikiText, it will work fine. Kaldari (talk) 17:52, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Another suggestion I received is: [12:27] leucosticte: $content->getNativeData [12:27] you should also probably do check that $content instanceof TextContent getContentContext has this code in it:

So basically he's suggesting the long way of doing what you suggested. I also notice that it says at the Revision::getRawText documentation, "use Revision::getContent( Revision::RAW ) or Revision::getSerializedData as appropriate." I guess Revision::getSerializedData (which uses Revision::loadText, which in turn uses Revision::getRevisionText on a database row from the text table) is pretty much the same as ContentHandler::getContentText?

I'm not sure what the best way to explain all that would be in the code docs, but it seems to me there is room for improvement in making it so that devs can easily figure out what functions are best to use when. I've attempted to sum it up at Manual:WikiPage.php, although I may have oversimplified matters. Manual:Content.php and Manual:ContentHandler.php can probably use additional work too. Anyway, thanks for your help. Leucosticte (talk) 18:25, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ContentHandler::getContentText does some of that for you. If the content is TextContent, it does $content->getNativeData. Otherwise, it tries to serialize it. And actually, I didn't even notice that it's a static function, so you don't even have to instantiate a ContentHandler (like I was suggesting). All you have to do is:


 * There might be a more "correct" way to do this, but if you just need to migrate your old code to work, that's the easiest way to do it. Kaldari (talk) 18:41, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Wikivoyage feature development
Hi Ryan. I'm an admin over at Wikivoyage, and have been trying to organise the various features ideas that have been floating around. One of them was for a button that would be added to the article menu, which would allow users to designate that they've visited certain destinations. Those destinations would then be added to a list/map. More about the idea is here. I saw you developed the WikiLove extension, which has its own button in the menu, so was curious as to how this was done. Of course, if you're looking for a new project, we'd love to have your technical assistance, but I know you already do a lot across the WMF sites! Either way, let me know how you think best for us to proceed. Thanks, JamesA (talk) 13:26, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

A Reputatation System
Greetings Kaldari.

We are some students who, as final degree project, want to contribute the community build a reputation system for common-based communities based in interactions like giving thanks. For this purpouse we found that your extension is perfect, but we are having some troubles retrieving the data we need and we have some questions we hope you can answer. We know the Thanks extension inserts a line in the wiki log everytime a revision is thanked. This log line contains the thanker and the thanked info including the thanked personal page id. now here comes the question: Is there any way (suitable for automatization) to get the revision id or the modified page id?

Thank you very much for your attention and time.
 * No, the revision (and associated page) is not public information (by design). Sorry about that. Kaldari (talk) 21:46, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Non-breaking space
Hi Kaldari, in deWP there's a discussion about the neccessity of non-breaking spaces at the thanks extension. By clicking on "thank" a new line occurs and spreads out at the browser window. I hope you can guess what I mean. Here's an example to show it: Can you fix that, so that the new line is properly breaking? Queryzo (talk) 09:02, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I opened a Phabricator ticket for it: . It looks like it's not actually specific to the Thanks extension, but is due to the jquery.confirmable function in core. Kaldari (talk) 22:52, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that! Queryzo (talk) 08:13, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Bonnie and Clyde vs Hatmaker
Hi Kaldari, as Izno answered your question at Z276, I realize that I don't understand the difference between the "Bonnie and Clyde" problem from the "Hatmaker/Hatmaking" problem. You refer to the latter at T54564 as if it had been discussed elsewhere; can you point me to that explanation, please? SebastianHelm (talk) 17:22, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The different versions of the problem have been discussed in the Wikidata Project Chat, but you'd have to go through the archives to find them. The hatmaker problem is exemplified by the article en:Hatmaking. As you can see, it only has 1 interwiki link. The reason is because most wikis discuss hatmaking under the title hatmaker (or whatever the local language equivalent is). Although the scope of the hatmaking and hatmaker articles are basically the same, the Wikidata item can't be merged because they are considered different concepts on Wikidata and have different types of claims. This is similar to, but distinct from the Bonnie and Clyde problem, where articles on different wikis may split a particular subject into multiple articles. There are some solutions to the hatmaker problem that won't fix the Bonnie and Clyde problem, but most solutions to the Bonnie and Clyde problem will also fix the hatmaker problem. Hope that helps. Kaldari (talk) 20:00, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your answer; so, the difference is just that they could be merged, if that's what the people in that language Wikipedia wanted? I don't see how that has a bearing on Wikidata, or on the interlanguage links. In both cases, what is needed are the following links (with "L" and "M" being different languages, and "B", "C" and "BC" either "Bonnie", "Clyde" and "Bonnie and Clyde" or "hatmaker", "hatmaking" and "hatmaker and hatmaking"):
 * L:B → BC
 * L:C → BC
 * BC → L:BC (disambiguation)
 * Of course, in the case of hatmaker/-ing, one can leave out the disambiguation page and just decide for item 3 to link to one of the articles L:B or L:C . Is that what you mean? SebastianHelm (talk) 20:31, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, they are in most ways the same problem and allowing interwiki links to redirects would solve both of them. Some of the solutions to the Bonnie and Clyde problem have suggested following "part of" claims, but this wouldn't solve the hatmaker problem, as it isn't a hierarchical relationship. It's just good to keep both versions of the problem in mind when discussing solutions. Kaldari (talk) 21:28, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Mmh, I don't see why it matters whether a relationship is hierarchical or not. I see no reason whatsoever to limit the links to strict set theoretical relationships. What breaks if someone links from a hatmaker&hatmaking article to a hatmaking article, as I suggested above? SebastianHelm (talk) 10:19, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * There is no such item on Wikidata of "hatmaker&hatmaking", nor do I think it would make sense to have such an item. Kaldari (talk) 20:31, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Use of Revthank module
Hey, Kaldari, I designed a small script to add send thanks buttons to the Watchlist. I expect this to be used (and use it) in conjunction with WP:Navigation Popups, as it is expected that users will read the edit before sending thanks for it. While creating it, I had to basically copy the entire ext.thanks.revthank.js to be able to use it. While I see that there other ways to reuse the code, I suppose I could point to script file instead of copying it, I wanted to reuse the functions without another call HTTP call. I mean the script is loaded in the watchlist, is there a simple way to trigger  and  ?

Hi Kaldari. Can I get the Google Custom Search API Key? I'm working on a bot which uses google to find new URL for a page which was moved for hebrew Wikipedia (Example ). thanks Kotz
 * Are you going to be using the Google API Proxy? Can you let me know how many queries you will be doing per day on average? Kaldari (talk) 18:05, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes I will. This is not going to be used everyday, I.e. it could be used once a month. when used then I guess a couple of hundreds a day? If you want we can set a hard limit beforehand. Kotz (talk) 18:59, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you limit it to 1000 queries per day? We currently have a shared quota of 10,000 queries per day and we're currently averaging about 5000 per day from the existing tools. If that's fine with you, I'll send you the API key privately. Kaldari (talk) 20:29, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * If you need more than that, I would suggest using the Yandex search proxy, which gives you a personal 10,000 per day quota (rather than a shared quota). You also don't need to get an API key from me to use that one. Kaldari (talk) 20:33, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
