This extension still has the same problems for the non-english wikis.

Just a bump.

it's because of double redirect (one from 404 handler, second from
translating url from special:Our404Handler to national version like
Specjalna: or Especial:), Our404Handler is some hack so i have to
rethink logic behind this extension. THis have low priority for us
though so i have to find some free time.

Ok,

Glad to hear at least some news.

Just a note: Now the extension seems disabled, but before that, going
to <http://www.wikia.com/asdf> didn't redirect to
Special:Our404Handler. Instead, the location still were
<http://www.wikia.com/asdf>. But the non-english languages were doing
that redirect.

Subject: [Wikia-l] Introducing Wikia Evolution
Message-ID: <6704a5e60808060901n1acf99dalc6c0c5f37eb9435@mail.gmail.com>

Crossposted to wikia-l and search-l.

I just posted this to the Wikia Search blog at
http://search.wikia.com/blog/2008/08/06/introducing-wikia-evolution/
and I hope members of both lists will download our new toolbar, Wikia
Evolution, and shoot back feedback!  You can download it and learn
more Wikia Evolution at
http://re.search.wikia.com/toolbar/download.html

The text of the blog post is below; the images and links are stripped.

Thanks,

Dan

***

One of our core values at Wikia Search is Community.  We want everyone
to be able to participate in the Wikia Search project.  That's why we
are proud to introduce Wikia Evolution, our new Firefox toolbar.  You
can download it here, or via Mozilla's Firefox Add-On Library.

The mission of Wikia Evolution: To empower users to interact with search.

We want to make it dead-simple for you to add URLs into our index
under appropriate keywords.  Already, we're the cutting edge when it
comes to incorporating user feedback into our search results, so much
so that Google is experimenting with eerily similar features.   Wikia
Evolution pushes the envelope even further.  It allows you to quickly
and easily add the web page you are on into Wikia Search, directly
from your browser, for whatever keyword is appropriate.  Instant
indexing!   Then, you can modify the search result to make it really
killer, all without leaving the page you're on.

Letting everyone modify search results pages is of fundamental
importance ? but you can't on either Google or Yahoo.    We can't
change that, sadly, but Wikia Evolution does the next best thing.
Using Wikia Evolution, you can add and rate URLs directly from Google
or Yahoo, and those contributions will be immediately incorporated
into Wikia Search.

Jimmy left a comment on the Mozilla download page, and I think it
bears repeating:  "This toolbar, like everything we are doing at Wikia
Search, is open source. We hope that if you are a toolbar fan and
programmer, you will let us know what features need to be added and/or
take this and do something surprising and cool with it."  Community:
Let's make it happen, together.

Subject: [Wikia-l] if GFDL is violated, who can sue?
Message-ID: <20080806185441.7FAC319F02C6@ut4.sjc.wikia-inc.com>

Another Wikipedia question on the wrong list :) but this is more 
related to Wikis in general so is presumably on-topic.  If something 
is published under the GFDL, and copied in many places, but then 
someone makes a copy and publishes it *not* under the GFDL (thus 
violating the GFDL terms), who can sue for that violation?  For 
example, if you made a copy of Wikipedia and didn't include the GFDL.

I read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights
but was unable to find an answer to this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks
suggests that DMCA takedown notices should be sent by anyone who is a 
contributor to Wikipedia and hence can claim that *their* copyright 
is being violated by a copy that violates the GFDL.  Does that 
similarly mean that any contributor would also have the right to sue 
if the GFDL-violating copy were not taken down?

Subject: [Wikia-l] Category tree
Message-ID: <BAC8DB5F844649548D83675C77732CE6@quartz>

We use <categorytree> to display categories for browsing. It's irritating how all
subcategories are shown with "[+]", yet only a few of them expand. Readers have to
click + to find out if further subcategories exist. After a delay, it often says "no
subcategories" (and the tree becomes one line deeper to show "no subcategories",
making it harder to see the rest of the tree).

When I add "depth=3" we get quite a nice result for empty categories at level 2. It
shows "[-] Mycat", and there is no redundant "no subcategories" message. However,
the "depth=3" tree is too deep for display on our main page, and it contains lots of
pointless "[+] Mycat" categories at level 3.

Can anything be done so <categorytree> shows "[-] Mycat" if Mycat contains no
subcategories? I would be happy if the category tree was cached and only updated a
couple of days after a change.

John

I forwarded it to Duesentrieb (developer).

Daniel told me:
"The new version of CT for MediaWiki 1.13 will show [x] instead of [+]
for empty categories. It can also show the number of subcategories,
pages and images on each category entry. This is based on additional
information in the database that has become available since 1.13.

I found that this doesn't *always* work, specifically, if you look on
category pages on wikipedia, this does not seem to apply. I have to
investigate why, since when testing locally, it works fine for me.
Once 1.13 is out, please test and let me know."

So if you are a bit patient - it should be done in a few days or weeks.

Bye, Tim.

Excellent. Thanks, and yes I'm patient!

I understand they made a special Category table just to track this 
information so that it wouldn't be too expensive. From the trunk database 
schema:

-- Track all existing categories.  Something is a category if 1) it has an 
en-
-- try somewhere in categorylinks, or 2) it once did.  Categories might not
-- have corresponding pages, so they need to be tracked separately.
--
CREATE TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/category (
  -- Primary key
  cat_id int unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,

  -- Name of the category, in the same form as page_title (with 
underscores).
  -- If there is a category page corresponding to this category, by 
definition,
  -- it has this name (in the Category namespace).
  cat_title varchar(255) binary NOT NULL,

  -- The numbers of member pages (including categories and media), 
subcatego-
  -- ries, and Image: namespace members, respectively.  These are signed to
  -- make underflow more obvious.  We make the first number include the 
second
  -- two for better sorting: subtracting for display is easy, adding for 
order-
  -- ing is not.
  cat_pages int signed NOT NULL default 0,
  cat_subcats int signed NOT NULL default 0,
  cat_files int signed NOT NULL default 0,

  -- Reserved for future use
  cat_hidden tinyint unsigned NOT NULL default 0,

  PRIMARY KEY (cat_id),
  UNIQUE KEY (cat_title),

  -- For Special:Mostlinkedcategories
  KEY (cat_pages)
) /*$wgDBTableOptions*/;

Hi All,

We can NOT see my wiki from Beijing.

Suprise, suprise -- I can now see my blog. That came alive this week.
Go figure.

What is the condition of wikia in Beijing?

Thanks for the direct email update.

China hates anything with free speech and truth, Wikia not being visible
should not come as a surprise.

Unfortunately Wikia.com and other Wikia-owned domains have been
blocked in mainland China for some time. Wikipedia was similarly
blocked for many years, but recently unblocked for the Olympics along
with many other sites, though certainly not all.  It's something that
KJ (Wikia's Chinese-language community manager) and Jimmy Wales have
worked on reversing, though it's really not something we can control.
We continue to look for solutions for this, but until then, you might
want to read Wikipedia's advice on this at http://tinyurl.com/675onp

Hi Anupam,

I haven't noticed any slowdowns. I ran a speed
test<http://www.selfseo.com/website_speed_test.php>on a
page <http://government.wikia.com/wiki/United_States_of_America> from your
Wikia site; the load time was 0.53 seconds. Can you point to a page that is
running particularly slow?

Subject: [Wikia-l] Timeout
Message-ID: <ecf508af0808151122x7a7fbb62p8d613ad7e5037dad@mail.gmail.com>

I seem to be having a problem on the White Wolf Wiki: as of yesterday,
even checking the "remember me" box, I can only remain logged in for
about an hour before I'm logged out again. Prior to this, I'd easily
remain logged in for weeks at a time.

While granted, it does increase security, it also makes it difficult

Yes, there's something wrong. It's happening to me too. It is not that we
do not have cookies enabled, as I know I do.

Hi,

I'm afraid we have a problem with caching that's making it appear that
logins are dropping.  The technical team are working on as we speak.

For some people, it seems that clearing you browser cache and cookies
may help - although this isn't a full solution and doesn't always
work.

I'm sorry for the problem, we hope to have it fixed soon.

Subject: [Wikia-l] 133 new wikis; 100th language
Message-ID: <8b722b800808171901s66899de0pbcab0221ce852fce@mail.gmail.com>

It's been an exciting wiki for new wikis. We created 133 wikis and
reached a milestone of 100 languages. The Indian language Marathi was
the 100th language, with the creation of a wiki about Saints.

The wiki hosting site WikiLot.com closed down unexpectedly so Wikia
stepped in to rescue the content of more than 200 wikis they were
hosting. 10 of the wikis in the list below come from WikiLot, 6 are
merging with existing wikis, and more are expected to join us in the
coming weeks. More details on that can be found at
<http://www.wikia.com/wiki/WikiLot>

Wikia is aware of the problem and it is being worked on.

Thanks,

Hi.

Over the last couple weeks, we've had problems with Opera users not  
being able to log in to Wikia. We recently changed our front end  
loadbalancers to speed up performance on the site -- an important  
change that will help all of our sites. Sadly, this is causing a  
problem with logins and Opera.

We've been working on fixing this error -- but it's been more  
complicated than we expected, and we've been unable to reliably  
replicate the error. But we are working hard on it (and I am going to  
be working over the weekend on it :)

Sorry for the inconvenience -- I know this has been a big problem for  
folks who use Opera.


Cheers
Artur

It takes about 20 seconds to load, but it seems ok.

Subject: [Wikia-l] SMW+Undeletion Bug
Message-ID: <g8t4qr$g82$1@ger.gmane.org>

I'm still having the same undeletion bug on the Narutopedia that I had a 
fair bit of time ago.
Sometimes I am unable to undelete a page, because when I sumbit it get a 
white screen (ie: A PHP Error). I know for a fact, that this has 
something to do with Semantic MediaWiki being installed on the Narutopedia.
I know that, because I encountered that bug on my own dev server some 
time ago, and the log error was to do with SMW. However I am not getting 
that error on my own server anymore, so I can't pick out when or what 
fixed it. Perhaps Wikia should at least try updating SMW.

Daniel,

We're running a test where we approve all wikis that aren't offensive

One of the things jimbo told me when I started was that the wiki way  
assumed good faith and allowed people to edit/create without barriers,  
or a priori thinking

Creating a wiki is a barrier we put in place a long time ago - and  
I've been questioning why we require this process to start a wiki, but  
not to start editing on a dead wiki, or to create a new page on an  
existing wiki

So we're testing reducing the barriers to measure both the positive  
and negative impact. I expect there to be some of each :-)

Hi. There's been a new Semantic MediaWiki release (1.2.2) to fix this
problem. I've filed a bug to have our version updated to this newly
released version to fix this issue. This fix should be released as soon
as it's been evaluated.

I have just seen this myself. It appears that the ad server is getting a
little confused.

I'll report it to be checked out.

Subject: [Wikia-l] Search for this phrase after wrong URL
Message-ID: <6E1FAED483A44BA2AAB0C44849C17760@quartz>

The wiki behaviour after an incorrect URL is entered might be improved.

I experimented by entering a nonexistent URL (simulating what would happen if I was
using an old bookmark to a page that had been moved, with the redirect later being
deleted):

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlighting_Long_Lines

The normal "no such page" appears:

Oops! Vim Tips Wiki does not have a page with this exact name.
* Click here to start this page or here to search for this phrase on the wiki.
* If a page previously existed at this exact title, please check the deletion log.

The problem is that clicking "search for this phrase" searches for
"Highlighting_Long_Lines". Of course that finds nothing (because the page titles and
contents don't contain underscores).

It seems to me that "search for this phrase" should replace underscores with spaces
before searching (it already seems to replace stuff like "%2C").

Also, IMHO the links should be reversed so it reads:
* Click here to search for this phrase on the wiki or here to start this page.

I know that Wikia wants to encourage participation, but if I enter an incorrect URL
it's because:

(1) I'm testing whether the page exists because I think there should be such a page.
-or-

(2) I'm using an old bookmark, or I'm mistyping a URL, or similar blunder.

For (1), I should be clever enough to click the second link if I want to create a
page.

For (2), I'm going to be perplexed when I get the "Oops!" result, and I do NOT want
to misled into clicking the "start this page" link which would further irritate and
confuse me.

Because to provide those statistics would require local hit counters to be 
turned on. They are not due to the impact it would have on performance. A 
database write every page access would not work out very well with Wikia's 
load (many wikis have several million hits a month). It also becomes 
misleading because the vast majority of hits are served by caches that do 
not hit the web servers at all.

Wikia uses Google Analytics, though I do not know if they have the ability 
to monitor all individual sites through that, or just the most popular. You 
could ask them if they have any information on the government wiki.

Work is going on to get this sort of visit data into the WikiStats.
The creator of the stats package we use has recently been hired by
Wikimedia who have the same problem with caching preventing the use of
hit counters. Wikia is also working on ways of getting more of this
essential information out to the wikis.

I've made a graph here, but the data is not yet in any sort of
accessible form, so making these is something that can only be done
manually as a one-off.

It would be great to hear about what you did in July to cause this
amazing increase.

Subject: [Wikia-l] Wikia and Semantics
Message-ID: <g9948q$qrg$1@ger.gmane.org>

So it's about time I asked... how long until Wikia starts supporting 
more semantic extensions?

I've been working with many of the developers and improving on many of 
the extensions.

In terms of the standard scalability stuff Semantic Forms is already 
more stable than Semantic MediaWiki itself.
I personally went through SF and re-factored a fair bit of code to use 
proper autoloading, stub objects, and especially I killed off the 
message defer system short circuiting in SF (unfortunately it's going to 
be a bit more work to kill that in SMW itself).
SF needs a bit of updates for the #arraymap and #arraymaptemplate to use 
SFH_OBJ_ARGS and nicely handle nested templates. But besides that they 
are working perfectly for what most people use them for.

I helped Yaron fix up Semantic Drilldown so it did not require the ALTER 
privilege as well. I'm running it on my own personal WikiFarm.

I haven't gotten around to the Halo extension yet, but it looks like it 
might be worthy of getting to. As well I'm watching the list, perhaps 
hopefully the author of Semantic Layers will get it into SVN at some 
point in time so it can get the same treatment.


Actually, I'm also working on a re-factor of EditPage.php. Whenever it 
gets complete SF will be able to extend the edit page in MW 1.14 and 
this will allow the internal preview to work nicely with SF rather than 
the current ugly implementation. Additionally I'm working on a change to 
the Parser to support hooking into link syntax. That's a bit larger a 
task, and I'll need to make sure it doesn't rob to much performance, but 
when complete it should allow SMW to support nested links again.

I'm not sure that people know enough about how to use what we already
have to warrant prioritising the other parts of it yet.

Are the parts we don't yet have easier to use, or will they add
complication that might put off users who aren't yet familiar with
Semantic MediaWiki?

There hasn't been much progress on either of these wikis yet, even
though both of them have a lot of potential to be made much more
useful with these features.

slightly off topic but what is up with yellowikis?? it was once independant,
then it seems it moved to wikia, yet now it redirects to the page that it

Semantic Forms does wonders for usability. SF does take a minor bit of 
work to setup, creating forms that is. However, after that it works 
brilliantly. #arraymap and #arraymaptemplate allow input to be in 
formats such as comma separated lists, so data input is easier...
ie: I could have an | affiliations = key for an infobox. Accept 
"Akatsuki, Kumogakure" and it could be rewritten to 
"[[Affiliation::Akatsuki]], [[Affiliation::Kumogakure]]" meaning that 
the semantic attributes are applied into the simple input. (This is far 
cleaner than any use of multiple #explodes that you could do).

As for a good live example... Take a look at my own wiki...
http://wiki-tools.com/wiki/WikiVid
Inside the infobox try clicking on the edit infobox button. You get 
pointed to an edit form for the infobox, which is actually transcluded 
into the current page. It cuts down on cruft inside the code (stops 
infobox templates from bumping page content down so you have to scroll 
to edit), and makes the actual editing of infobox templates far easier. 
All the inputs are sitting in front of you, and if you are only allowed 
certain values, then you have nice data inputs for selecting one of them.

That's actually a kind of interface I would like to trial over on the 
Narutopedia. Unfortunately, I can't even get the new Jutsu infoboxes 
working without the least of input handling parserfunctions like 
#arraymap (Though some of my WikiCode functions might make things easier 
in the future).


You honestly don't need to be familiar with Semantic MediaWiki to use 
it, only have someone who can create templates for you to use.
Oh... another one, Halo appears to have a mode for editing semantics 
within a page. So that kind of thing might make actual use of SMW much 
easier.

Angela,

Thanks for the graph, it really helps us to know our strategy is  
paying off! And thank you so much to the team for all the wonderful  
support!

I've got about 20-30 NGO's in Pune onto the wiki, the local municipal  
body and other government authorities on board. We are headed to get  
schools and colleges do their civics, environmental science projects  
on the wiki. IT companies here are volunteering to train citizens in  
the use of the wiki.

Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Vishakapattanam, Mumbai and Delhi are expected  
to follow the Pune model. I am looking at other cities Asia (I will  
be talking about this in China in October to leaders from Asian  
countries), from Europe, Americas and Africa to tap the value of  
bringing collaborative governance through this wiki soon- Can you  
help campaign for this wiki? Do you have ideas on how to promote  
this? further? Can you advertise it on wikipedia and other key sites?

Thanks and regards,

Anupam

This extension still has the same problems for the non-english wikis.

Just a bump.

it's because of double redirect (one from 404 handler, second from
translating url from special:Our404Handler to national version like
Specjalna: or Especial:), Our404Handler is some hack so i have to
rethink logic behind this extension. THis have low priority for us
though so i have to find some free time.

Ok,

Glad to hear at least some news.

Just a note: Now the extension seems disabled, but before that, going
to <http://www.wikia.com/asdf> didn't redirect to
Special:Our404Handler. Instead, the location still were
<http://www.wikia.com/asdf>. But the non-english languages were doing
that redirect.

Crossposted to wikia-l and search-l.

I just posted this to the Wikia Search blog at
http://search.wikia.com/blog/2008/08/06/introducing-wikia-evolution/
and I hope members of both lists will download our new toolbar, Wikia
Evolution, and shoot back feedback!  You can download it and learn
more Wikia Evolution at
http://re.search.wikia.com/toolbar/download.html

The text of the blog post is below; the images and links are stripped.

Thanks,

One of our core values at Wikia Search is Community.  We want everyone
to be able to participate in the Wikia Search project.  That's why we
are proud to introduce Wikia Evolution, our new Firefox toolbar.  You
can download it here, or via Mozilla's Firefox Add-On Library.

The mission of Wikia Evolution: To empower users to interact with search.

We want to make it dead-simple for you to add URLs into our index
under appropriate keywords.  Already, we're the cutting edge when it
comes to incorporating user feedback into our search results, so much
so that Google is experimenting with eerily similar features.   Wikia
Evolution pushes the envelope even further.  It allows you to quickly
and easily add the web page you are on into Wikia Search, directly
from your browser, for whatever keyword is appropriate.  Instant
indexing!   Then, you can modify the search result to make it really
killer, all without leaving the page you're on.

Letting everyone modify search results pages is of fundamental
importance ? but you can't on either Google or Yahoo.    We can't
change that, sadly, but Wikia Evolution does the next best thing.
Using Wikia Evolution, you can add and rate URLs directly from Google
or Yahoo, and those contributions will be immediately incorporated
into Wikia Search.

Jimmy left a comment on the Mozilla download page, and I think it

Subject: [Wikia-l] if GFDL is violated, who can sue?
Message-ID: <20080806185441.7FAC319F02C6@ut4.sjc.wikia-inc.com>

Another Wikipedia question on the wrong list :) but this is more 
related to Wikis in general so is presumably on-topic.  If something 
is published under the GFDL, and copied in many places, but then 
someone makes a copy and publishes it *not* under the GFDL (thus 
violating the GFDL terms), who can sue for that violation?  For 
example, if you made a copy of Wikipedia and didn't include the GFDL.

I read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights
but was unable to find an answer to this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks
suggests that DMCA takedown notices should be sent by anyone who is a 
contributor to Wikipedia and hence can claim that *their* copyright 
is being violated by a copy that violates the GFDL.  Does that 
similarly mean that any contributor would also have the right to sue 
if the GFDL-violating copy were not taken down?

Subject: [Wikia-l] Category tree
Message-ID: <BAC8DB5F844649548D83675C77732CE6@quartz>

We use <categorytree> to display categories for browsing. It's irritating how all
subcategories are shown with "[+]", yet only a few of them expand. Readers have to
click + to find out if further subcategories exist. After a delay, it often says "no
subcategories" (and the tree becomes one line deeper to show "no subcategories",
making it harder to see the rest of the tree).

When I add "depth=3" we get quite a nice result for empty categories at level 2. It
shows "[-] Mycat", and there is no redundant "no subcategories" message. However,
the "depth=3" tree is too deep for display on our main page, and it contains lots of
pointless "[+] Mycat" categories at level 3.

Can anything be done so <categorytree> shows "[-] Mycat" if Mycat contains no
subcategories? I would be happy if the category tree was cached and only updated a
couple of days after a change.

I forwarded it to Duesentrieb (developer).

Daniel told me:
"The new version of CT for MediaWiki 1.13 will show [x] instead of [+]
for empty categories. It can also show the number of subcategories,
pages and images on each category entry. This is based on additional
information in the database that has become available since 1.13.

I found that this doesn't *always* work, specifically, if you look on
category pages on wikipedia, this does not seem to apply. I have to
investigate why, since when testing locally, it works fine for me.
Once 1.13 is out, please test and let me know."

So if you are a bit patient - it should be done in a few days or weeks.

Bye, Tim.

Excellent. Thanks, and yes I'm patient!

I understand they made a special Category table just to track this 
information so that it wouldn't be too expensive. From the trunk database 
schema:

-- Track all existing categories.  Something is a category if 1) it has an 
en-
-- try somewhere in categorylinks, or 2) it once did.  Categories might not
-- have corresponding pages, so they need to be tracked separately.
--
CREATE TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/category (
  -- Primary key
  cat_id int unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,

  -- Name of the category, in the same form as page_title (with 
underscores).
  -- If there is a category page corresponding to this category, by 
definition,
  -- it has this name (in the Category namespace).
  cat_title varchar(255) binary NOT NULL,

  -- The numbers of member pages (including categories and media), 
subcatego-
  -- ries, and Image: namespace members, respectively.  These are signed to
  -- make underflow more obvious.  We make the first number include the 
second
  -- two for better sorting: subtracting for display is easy, adding for 
order-
  -- ing is not.
  cat_pages int signed NOT NULL default 0,
  cat_subcats int signed NOT NULL default 0,
  cat_files int signed NOT NULL default 0,

  -- Reserved for future use
  cat_hidden tinyint unsigned NOT NULL default 0,

  PRIMARY KEY (cat_id),
  UNIQUE KEY (cat_title),

  -- For Special:Mostlinkedcategories
  KEY (cat_pages)
) /*$wgDBTableOptions*/;

Hi All,

We can NOT see my wiki from Beijing.

Suprise, suprise -- I can now see my blog. That came alive this week.

What is the condition of wikia in Beijing?

China hates anything with free speech and truth, Wikia not being visible
should not come as a surprise.

Unfortunately Wikia.com and other Wikia-owned domains have been
blocked in mainland China for some time. Wikipedia was similarly
blocked for many years, but recently unblocked for the Olympics along
with many other sites, though certainly not all.  It's something that
KJ (Wikia's Chinese-language community manager) and Jimmy Wales have
worked on reversing, though it's really not something we can control.
We continue to look for solutions for this, but until then, you might
want to read Wikipedia's advice on this at http://tinyurl.com/675onp

Hi Anupam,

I haven't noticed any slowdowns. I ran a speed
test<http://www.selfseo.com/website_speed_test.php>on a
page <http://government.wikia.com/wiki/United_States_of_America> from your
Wikia site; the load time was 0.53 seconds. Can you point to a page that is
running particularly slow?

-Andy

I seem to be having a problem on the White Wolf Wiki: as of yesterday,
even checking the "remember me" box, I can only remain logged in for
about an hour before I'm logged out again. Prior to this, I'd easily
remain logged in for weeks at a time.

While granted, it does increase security, it also makes it difficult
if I leave the Wiki for a short time to research an article only to
come back and find that I've been logged out for the fourth time in a
day.

Yes, there's something wrong. It's happening to me too. It is not that we
do not have cookies enabled, as I know I do.

Hi,

I'm afraid we have a problem with caching that's making it appear that
logins are dropping.  The technical team are working on as we speak.

For some people, it seems that clearing you browser cache and cookies
may help - although this isn't a full solution and doesn't always
work.

I'm sorry for the problem, we hope to have it fixed soon.

Subject: [Wikia-l] 133 new wikis; 100th language
Message-ID: <8b722b800808171901s66899de0pbcab0221ce852fce@mail.gmail.com>

It's been an exciting wiki for new wikis. We created 133 wikis and
reached a milestone of 100 languages. The Indian language Marathi was
the 100th language, with the creation of a wiki about Saints.

The wiki hosting site WikiLot.com closed down unexpectedly so Wikia
stepped in to rescue the content of more than 200 wikis they were
hosting. 10 of the wikis in the list below come from WikiLot, 6 are
merging with existing wikis, and more are expected to join us in the
coming weeks. More details on that can be found at
<http://www.wikia.com/wiki/WikiLot>

Hi.

Over the last couple weeks, we've had problems with Opera users not  
being able to log in to Wikia. We recently changed our front end  
loadbalancers to speed up performance on the site -- an important  
change that will help all of our sites. Sadly, this is causing a  
problem with logins and Opera.

We've been working on fixing this error -- but it's been more  
complicated than we expected, and we've been unable to reliably  
replicate the error. But we are working hard on it (and I am going to  
be working over the weekend on it :)

Sorry for the inconvenience -- I know this has been a big problem for  
folks who use Opera.


Cheers
Artur

Subject: [Wikia-l] SMW+Undeletion Bug
Message-ID: <g8t4qr$g82$1@ger.gmane.org>

I'm still having the same undeletion bug on the Narutopedia that I had a 
fair bit of time ago.
Sometimes I am unable to undelete a page, because when I sumbit it get a 
white screen (ie: A PHP Error). I know for a fact, that this has 
something to do with Semantic MediaWiki being installed on the Narutopedia.
I know that, because I encountered that bug on my own dev server some 
time ago, and the log error was to do with SMW. However I am not getting 
that error on my own server anymore, so I can't pick out when or what 
fixed it. Perhaps Wikia should at least try updating SMW.

Daniel,

We're running a test where we approve all wikis that aren't offensive

One of the things jimbo told me when I started was that the wiki way  
assumed good faith and allowed people to edit/create without barriers,  
or a priori thinking

Creating a wiki is a barrier we put in place a long time ago - and  
I've been questioning why we require this process to start a wiki, but  
not to start editing on a dead wiki, or to create a new page on an  
existing wiki

So we're testing reducing the barriers to measure both the positive  
and negative impact. I expect there to be some of each :-)

Hi. There's been a new Semantic MediaWiki release (1.2.2) to fix this
problem. I've filed a bug to have our version updated to this newly
released version to fix this issue. This fix should be released as soon
as it's been evaluated.

Subject: [Wikia-l] Search for this phrase after wrong URL
Message-ID: <6E1FAED483A44BA2AAB0C44849C17760@quartz>

The wiki behaviour after an incorrect URL is entered might be improved.

I experimented by entering a nonexistent URL (simulating what would happen if I was
using an old bookmark to a page that had been moved, with the redirect later being
deleted):

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlighting_Long_Lines

The normal "no such page" appears:

Oops! Vim Tips Wiki does not have a page with this exact name.
* Click here to start this page or here to search for this phrase on the wiki.
* If a page previously existed at this exact title, please check the deletion log.

The problem is that clicking "search for this phrase" searches for
"Highlighting_Long_Lines". Of course that finds nothing (because the page titles and
contents don't contain underscores).

It seems to me that "search for this phrase" should replace underscores with spaces
before searching (it already seems to replace stuff like "%2C").

Also, IMHO the links should be reversed so it reads:
* Click here to search for this phrase on the wiki or here to start this page.

I know that Wikia wants to encourage participation, but if I enter an incorrect URL
it's because:

(1) I'm testing whether the page exists because I think there should be such a page.
-or-

(2) I'm using an old bookmark, or I'm mistyping a URL, or similar blunder.

For (1), I should be clever enough to click the second link if I want to create a
page.

For (2), I'm going to be perplexed when I get the "Oops!" result, and I do NOT want
to misled into clicking the "start this page" link which would further irritate and
confuse me.

Because to provide those statistics would require local hit counters to be 
turned on. They are not due to the impact it would have on performance. A 
database write every page access would not work out very well with Wikia's 
load (many wikis have several million hits a month). It also becomes 
misleading because the vast majority of hits are served by caches that do 
not hit the web servers at all.

Wikia uses Google Analytics, though I do not know if they have the ability 
to monitor all individual sites through that, or just the most popular. You 
could ask them if they have any information on the government wiki.

Work is going on to get this sort of visit data into the WikiStats.
The creator of the stats package we use has recently been hired by
Wikimedia who have the same problem with caching preventing the use of
hit counters. Wikia is also working on ways of getting more of this
essential information out to the wikis.

I've made a graph here, but the data is not yet in any sort of
accessible form, so making these is something that can only be done
manually as a one-off.

It would be great to hear about what you did in July to cause this
amazing increase.

Subject: [Wikia-l] Wikia and Semantics
Message-ID: <g9948q$qrg$1@ger.gmane.org>

So it's about time I asked... how long until Wikia starts supporting 
more semantic extensions?

I've been working with many of the developers and improving on many of 
the extensions.

In terms of the standard scalability stuff Semantic Forms is already 
more stable than Semantic MediaWiki itself.
I personally went through SF and re-factored a fair bit of code to use 
proper autoloading, stub objects, and especially I killed off the 
message defer system short circuiting in SF (unfortunately it's going to 
be a bit more work to kill that in SMW itself).
SF needs a bit of updates for the #arraymap and #arraymaptemplate to use 
SFH_OBJ_ARGS and nicely handle nested templates. But besides that they 
are working perfectly for what most people use them for.

I helped Yaron fix up Semantic Drilldown so it did not require the ALTER 
privilege as well. I'm running it on my own personal WikiFarm.

I haven't gotten around to the Halo extension yet, but it looks like it 
might be worthy of getting to. As well I'm watching the list, perhaps 
hopefully the author of Semantic Layers will get it into SVN at some 
point in time so it can get the same treatment.


Actually, I'm also working on a re-factor of EditPage.php. Whenever it 
gets complete SF will be able to extend the edit page in MW 1.14 and 
this will allow the internal preview to work nicely with SF rather than 
the current ugly implementation. Additionally I'm working on a change to 
the Parser to support hooking into link syntax. That's a bit larger a 
task, and I'll need to make sure it doesn't rob to much performance, but 
when complete it should allow SMW to support nested links again.

I'm not sure that people know enough about how to use what we already
have to warrant prioritising the other parts of it yet.

Are the parts we don't yet have easier to use, or will they add
complication that might put off users who aren't yet familiar with
Semantic MediaWiki?

There hasn't been much progress on either of these wikis yet, even
though both of them have a lot of potential to be made much more
useful with these features.

slightly off topic but what is up with yellowikis?? it was once independant,
then it seems it moved to wikia, yet now it redirects to the page that it
used telling us it would be back soon (in oct 06)

Semantic Forms does wonders for usability. SF does take a minor bit of 
work to setup, creating forms that is. However, after that it works 
brilliantly. #arraymap and #arraymaptemplate allow input to be in 
formats such as comma separated lists, so data input is easier...
ie: I could have an | affiliations = key for an infobox. Accept 
"Akatsuki, Kumogakure" and it could be rewritten to 
"[[Affiliation::Akatsuki]], [[Affiliation::Kumogakure]]" meaning that 
the semantic attributes are applied into the simple input. (This is far 
cleaner than any use of multiple #explodes that you could do).

As for a good live example... Take a look at my own wiki...
http://wiki-tools.com/wiki/WikiVid
Inside the infobox try clicking on the edit infobox button. You get 
pointed to an edit form for the infobox, which is actually transcluded 
into the current page. It cuts down on cruft inside the code (stops 
infobox templates from bumping page content down so you have to scroll 
to edit), and makes the actual editing of infobox templates far easier. 
All the inputs are sitting in front of you, and if you are only allowed 
certain values, then you have nice data inputs for selecting one of them.

That's actually a kind of interface I would like to trial over on the 
Narutopedia. Unfortunately, I can't even get the new Jutsu infoboxes 
working without the least of input handling parserfunctions like 
#arraymap (Though some of my WikiCode functions might make things easier 
in the future).


You honestly don't need to be familiar with Semantic MediaWiki to use 
it, only have someone who can create templates for you to use.
Oh... another one, Halo appears to have a mode for editing semantics 
within a page. So that kind of thing might make actual use of SMW much 
easier.

Angela,

Thanks for the graph, it really helps us to know our strategy is  
paying off! And thank you so much to the team for all the wonderful  
support!

I've got about 20-30 NGO's in Pune onto the wiki, the local municipal  
body and other government authorities on board. We are headed to get  
schools and colleges do their civics, environmental science projects  
on the wiki. IT companies here are volunteering to train citizens in  
the use of the wiki.

Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Vishakapattanam, Mumbai and Delhi are expected  
to follow the Pune model. I am looking at other cities Asia (I will  
be talking about this in China in October to leaders from Asian  
countries), from Europe, Americas and Africa to tap the value of  
bringing collaborative governance through this wiki soon- Can you  
help campaign for this wiki? Do you have ideas on how to promote  
this? further? Can you advertise it on wikipedia and other key sites?

Thanks and regards,

Anupam

This extension still has the same problems for the non-english wikis.

Just a bump.

it's because of double redirect (one from 404 handler, second from
translating url from special:Our404Handler to national version like
Specjalna: or Especial:), Our404Handler is some hack so i have to
rethink logic behind this extension. THis have low priority for us
though so i have to find some free time.

Ok,

Glad to hear at least some news.

Just a note: Now the extension seems disabled, but before that, going
to <http://www.wikia.com/asdf> didn't redirect to
Special:Our404Handler. Instead, the location still were
<http://www.wikia.com/asdf>. But the non-english languages were doing
that redirect.

Message-ID: <6704a5e60808060901n1acf99dalc6c0c5f37eb9435@mail.gmail.com>

Crossposted to wikia-l and search-l.

I just posted this to the Wikia Search blog at
http://search.wikia.com/blog/2008/08/06/introducing-wikia-evolution/
and I hope members of both lists will download our new toolbar, Wikia
Evolution, and shoot back feedback!  You can download it and learn
more Wikia Evolution at
http://re.search.wikia.com/toolbar/download.html

The text of the blog post is below; the images and links are stripped.

Thanks,

Dan

***

One of our core values at Wikia Search is Community.  We want everyone
to be able to participate in the Wikia Search project.  That's why we
are proud to introduce Wikia Evolution, our new Firefox toolbar.  You
can download it here, or via Mozilla's Firefox Add-On Library.

The mission of Wikia Evolution: To empower users to interact with search.

We want to make it dead-simple for you to add URLs into our index
under appropriate keywords.  Already, we're the cutting edge when it
comes to incorporating user feedback into our search results, so much
so that Google is experimenting with eerily similar features.   Wikia
Evolution pushes the envelope even further.  It allows you to quickly
and easily add the web page you are on into Wikia Search, directly
from your browser, for whatever keyword is appropriate.  Instant
indexing!   Then, you can modify the search result to make it really
killer, all without leaving the page you're on.

Letting everyone modify search results pages is of fundamental
importance ? but you can't on either Google or Yahoo.    We can't
change that, sadly, but Wikia Evolution does the next best thing.
Using Wikia Evolution, you can add and rate URLs directly from Google
or Yahoo, and those contributions will be immediately incorporated
into Wikia Search.

Jimmy left a comment on the Mozilla download page, and I think it
bears repeating:  "This toolbar, like everything we are doing at Wikia
Search, is open source. We hope that if you are a toolbar fan and
programmer, you will let us know what features need to be added and/or
take this and do something surprising and cool with it."  Community:
Let's make it happen, together.

Subject: [Wikia-l] if GFDL is violated, who can sue?
Message-ID: <20080806185441.7FAC319F02C6@ut4.sjc.wikia-inc.com>

Another Wikipedia question on the wrong list :) but this is more 
related to Wikis in general so is presumably on-topic.  If something 
is published under the GFDL, and copied in many places, but then 
someone makes a copy and publishes it *not* under the GFDL (thus 
violating the GFDL terms), who can sue for that violation?  For 
example, if you made a copy of Wikipedia and didn't include the GFDL.

I read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights
but was unable to find an answer to this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks
suggests that DMCA takedown notices should be sent by anyone who is a 
contributor to Wikipedia and hence can claim that *their* copyright 
is being violated by a copy that violates the GFDL.  Does that 
similarly mean that any contributor would also have the right to sue 
if the GFDL-violating copy were not taken down?

Subject: [Wikia-l] Category tree
Message-ID: <BAC8DB5F844649548D83675C77732CE6@quartz>

We use <categorytree> to display categories for browsing. It's irritating how all
subcategories are shown with "[+]", yet only a few of them expand. Readers have to
click + to find out if further subcategories exist. After a delay, it often says "no
subcategories" (and the tree becomes one line deeper to show "no subcategories",
making it harder to see the rest of the tree).

When I add "depth=3" we get quite a nice result for empty categories at level 2. It
shows "[-] Mycat", and there is no redundant "no subcategories" message. However,
the "depth=3" tree is too deep for display on our main page, and it contains lots of
pointless "[+] Mycat" categories at level 3.

Can anything be done so <categorytree> shows "[-] Mycat" if Mycat contains no
subcategories? I would be happy if the category tree was cached and only updated a
couple of days after a change.

John

Daniel told me:
"The new version of CT for MediaWiki 1.13 will show [x] instead of [+]
for empty categories. It can also show the number of subcategories,
pages and images on each category entry. This is based on additional
information in the database that has become available since 1.13.

I found that this doesn't *always* work, specifically, if you look on
category pages on wikipedia, this does not seem to apply. I have to
investigate why, since when testing locally, it works fine for me.
Once 1.13 is out, please test and let me know."

So if you are a bit patient - it should be done in a few days or weeks.

Bye, Tim.

Excellent. Thanks, and yes I'm patient!

I understand they made a special Category table just to track this 
information so that it wouldn't be too expensive. From the trunk database 
schema:

-- Track all existing categories.  Something is a category if 1) it has an 
en-
-- try somewhere in categorylinks, or 2) it once did.  Categories might not
-- have corresponding pages, so they need to be tracked separately.
--
CREATE TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/category (
  -- Primary key
  cat_id int unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,

  -- Name of the category, in the same form as page_title (with 
underscores).
  -- If there is a category page corresponding to this category, by 
definition,
  -- it has this name (in the Category namespace).
  cat_title varchar(255) binary NOT NULL,

  -- The numbers of member pages (including categories and media), 
subcatego-
  -- ries, and Image: namespace members, respectively.  These are signed to
  -- make underflow more obvious.  We make the first number include the 
second
  -- two for better sorting: subtracting for display is easy, adding for 
order-
  -- ing is not.
  cat_pages int signed NOT NULL default 0,
  cat_subcats int signed NOT NULL default 0,
  cat_files int signed NOT NULL default 0,

  -- Reserved for future use
  cat_hidden tinyint unsigned NOT NULL default 0,

  PRIMARY KEY (cat_id),
  UNIQUE KEY (cat_title),

  -- For Special:Mostlinkedcategories
  KEY (cat_pages)
) /*$wgDBTableOptions*/;

Hi All,

We can NOT see my wiki from Beijing.

Suprise, suprise -- I can now see my blog. That came alive this week.

What is the condition of wikia in Beijing?

China hates anything with free speech and truth, Wikia not being visible
should not come as a surprise.

Unfortunately Wikia.com and other Wikia-owned domains have been
blocked in mainland China for some time. Wikipedia was similarly
blocked for many years, but recently unblocked for the Olympics along
with many other sites, though certainly not all.  It's something that
KJ (Wikia's Chinese-language community manager) and Jimmy Wales have
worked on reversing, though it's really not something we can control.
We continue to look for solutions for this, but until then, you might
want to read Wikipedia's advice on this at http://tinyurl.com/675onp

Hi Anupam,

I haven't noticed any slowdowns. I ran a speed
test<http://www.selfseo.com/website_speed_test.php>on a
page <http://government.wikia.com/wiki/United_States_of_America> from your
Wikia site; the load time was 0.53 seconds. Can you point to a page that is
running particularly slow?

-Andy

I seem to be having a problem on the White Wolf Wiki: as of yesterday,
even checking the "remember me" box, I can only remain logged in for
about an hour before I'm logged out again. Prior to this, I'd easily
remain logged in for weeks at a time.

While granted, it does increase security, it also makes it difficult
if I leave the Wiki for a short time to research an article only to
come back and find that I've been logged out for the fourth time in a
day.

Yes, there's something wrong. It's happening to me too. It is not that we
do not have cookies enabled, as I know I do.

Hi,

I'm afraid we have a problem with caching that's making it appear that
logins are dropping.  The technical team are working on as we speak.

For some people, it seems that clearing you browser cache and cookies
may help - although this isn't a full solution and doesn't always
work.

I'm sorry for the problem, we hope to have it fixed soon.

Subject: [Wikia-l] 133 new wikis; 100th language
Message-ID: <8b722b800808171901s66899de0pbcab0221ce852fce@mail.gmail.com>

It's been an exciting wiki for new wikis. We created 133 wikis and
reached a milestone of 100 languages. The Indian language Marathi was
the 100th language, with the creation of a wiki about Saints.

The wiki hosting site WikiLot.com closed down unexpectedly so Wikia
stepped in to rescue the content of more than 200 wikis they were
hosting. 10 of the wikis in the list below come from WikiLot, 6 are
merging with existing wikis, and more are expected to join us in the
coming weeks. More details on that can be found at
<http://www.wikia.com/wiki/WikiLot>

Subject: [Wikia-l] Opera problems
Message-ID: <496F52B6-3E76-407A-A458-7F3A405CB131@wikia-inc.com>

Hi.

Over the last couple weeks, we've had problems with Opera users not  
being able to log in to Wikia. We recently changed our front end  
loadbalancers to speed up performance on the site -- an important  
change that will help all of our sites. Sadly, this is causing a  
problem with logins and Opera.

We've been working on fixing this error -- but it's been more  
complicated than we expected, and we've been unable to reliably  
replicate the error. But we are working hard on it (and I am going to  
be working over the weekend on it :)

Sorry for the inconvenience -- I know this has been a big problem for  
folks who use Opera.


Cheers
Artur

It takes about 20 seconds to load, but it seems ok.

Subject: [Wikia-l] SMW+Undeletion Bug
Message-ID: <g8t4qr$g82$1@ger.gmane.org>

I'm still having the same undeletion bug on the Narutopedia that I had a 
fair bit of time ago.
Sometimes I am unable to undelete a page, because when I sumbit it get a 
white screen (ie: A PHP Error). I know for a fact, that this has 
something to do with Semantic MediaWiki being installed on the Narutopedia.
I know that, because I encountered that bug on my own dev server some 
time ago, and the log error was to do with SMW. However I am not getting 
that error on my own server anymore, so I can't pick out when or what 
fixed it. Perhaps Wikia should at least try updating SMW.

Daniel,

We're running a test where we approve all wikis that aren't offensive

One of the things jimbo told me when I started was that the wiki way  
assumed good faith and allowed people to edit/create without barriers,  
or a priori thinking

Creating a wiki is a barrier we put in place a long time ago - and  
I've been questioning why we require this process to start a wiki, but  
not to start editing on a dead wiki, or to create a new page on an  
existing wiki

So we're testing reducing the barriers to measure both the positive  
and negative impact. I expect there to be some of each :-)

Hi. There's been a new Semantic MediaWiki release (1.2.2) to fix this
problem. I've filed a bug to have our version updated to this newly
released version to fix this issue. This fix should be released as soon
as it's been evaluated.

Subject: [Wikia-l] Search for this phrase after wrong URL
Message-ID: <6E1FAED483A44BA2AAB0C44849C17760@quartz>

The wiki behaviour after an incorrect URL is entered might be improved.

I experimented by entering a nonexistent URL (simulating what would happen if I was
using an old bookmark to a page that had been moved, with the redirect later being
deleted):

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlighting_Long_Lines

The normal "no such page" appears:

Oops! Vim Tips Wiki does not have a page with this exact name.
* Click here to start this page or here to search for this phrase on the wiki.
* If a page previously existed at this exact title, please check the deletion log.

The problem is that clicking "search for this phrase" searches for
"Highlighting_Long_Lines". Of course that finds nothing (because the page titles and
contents don't contain underscores).

It seems to me that "search for this phrase" should replace underscores with spaces
before searching (it already seems to replace stuff like "%2C").

Also, IMHO the links should be reversed so it reads:
* Click here to search for this phrase on the wiki or here to start this page.

I know that Wikia wants to encourage participation, but if I enter an incorrect URL
it's because:

(1) I'm testing whether the page exists because I think there should be such a page.
-or-

(2) I'm using an old bookmark, or I'm mistyping a URL, or similar blunder.

For (1), I should be clever enough to click the second link if I want to create a
page.

For (2), I'm going to be perplexed when I get the "Oops!" result, and I do NOT want
to misled into clicking the "start this page" link which would further irritate and
confuse me.

Because to provide those statistics would require local hit counters to be 
turned on. They are not due to the impact it would have on performance. A 
database write every page access would not work out very well with Wikia's 
load (many wikis have several million hits a month). It also becomes 
misleading because the vast majority of hits are served by caches that do 
not hit the web servers at all.

Wikia uses Google Analytics, though I do not know if they have the ability 
to monitor all individual sites through that, or just the most popular. You 
could ask them if they have any information on the government wiki.

Work is going on to get this sort of visit data into the WikiStats.
The creator of the stats package we use has recently been hired by
Wikimedia who have the same problem with caching preventing the use of
hit counters. Wikia is also working on ways of getting more of this
essential information out to the wikis.

I've made a graph here, but the data is not yet in any sort of
accessible form, so making these is something that can only be done
manually as a one-off.

It would be great to hear about what you did in July to cause this
amazing increase.

Message-ID: <g9948q$qrg$1@ger.gmane.org>

So it's about time I asked... how long until Wikia starts supporting 
more semantic extensions?

I've been working with many of the developers and improving on many of 
the extensions.

In terms of the standard scalability stuff Semantic Forms is already 
more stable than Semantic MediaWiki itself.
I personally went through SF and re-factored a fair bit of code to use 
proper autoloading, stub objects, and especially I killed off the 
message defer system short circuiting in SF (unfortunately it's going to 
be a bit more work to kill that in SMW itself).
SF needs a bit of updates for the #arraymap and #arraymaptemplate to use 
SFH_OBJ_ARGS and nicely handle nested templates. But besides that they 
are working perfectly for what most people use them for.

I helped Yaron fix up Semantic Drilldown so it did not require the ALTER 
privilege as well. I'm running it on my own personal WikiFarm.

I haven't gotten around to the Halo extension yet, but it looks like it 
might be worthy of getting to. As well I'm watching the list, perhaps 
hopefully the author of Semantic Layers will get it into SVN at some 
point in time so it can get the same treatment.


Actually, I'm also working on a re-factor of EditPage.php. Whenever it 
gets complete SF will be able to extend the edit page in MW 1.14 and 
this will allow the internal preview to work nicely with SF rather than 
the current ugly implementation. Additionally I'm working on a change to 
the Parser to support hooking into link syntax. That's a bit larger a 
task, and I'll need to make sure it doesn't rob to much performance, but 
when complete it should allow SMW to support nested links again.

I'm not sure that people know enough about how to use what we already
have to warrant prioritising the other parts of it yet.

Are the parts we don't yet have easier to use, or will they add
complication that might put off users who aren't yet familiar with
Semantic MediaWiki?

There hasn't been much progress on either of these wikis yet, even
though both of them have a lot of potential to be made much more
useful with these features.

slightly off topic but what is up with yellowikis?? it was once independant,
then it seems it moved to wikia, yet now it redirects to the page that it
used telling us it would be back soon (in oct 06)

Semantic Forms does wonders for usability. SF does take a minor bit of 
work to setup, creating forms that is. However, after that it works 
brilliantly. #arraymap and #arraymaptemplate allow input to be in 
formats such as comma separated lists, so data input is easier...
ie: I could have an | affiliations = key for an infobox. Accept 
"Akatsuki, Kumogakure" and it could be rewritten to 
"[[Affiliation::Akatsuki]], [[Affiliation::Kumogakure]]" meaning that 
the semantic attributes are applied into the simple input. (This is far 
cleaner than any use of multiple #explodes that you could do).

As for a good live example... Take a look at my own wiki...
http://wiki-tools.com/wiki/WikiVid
Inside the infobox try clicking on the edit infobox button. You get 
pointed to an edit form for the infobox, which is actually transcluded 
into the current page. It cuts down on cruft inside the code (stops 
infobox templates from bumping page content down so you have to scroll 
to edit), and makes the actual editing of infobox templates far easier. 
All the inputs are sitting in front of you, and if you are only allowed 
certain values, then you have nice data inputs for selecting one of them.

That's actually a kind of interface I would like to trial over on the 
Narutopedia. Unfortunately, I can't even get the new Jutsu infoboxes 
working without the least of input handling parserfunctions like 
#arraymap (Though some of my WikiCode functions might make things easier 
in the future).


You honestly don't need to be familiar with Semantic MediaWiki to use 
it, only have someone who can create templates for you to use.
Oh... another one, Halo appears to have a mode for editing semantics 
within a page. So that kind of thing might make actual use of SMW much 
easier.

Angela,

Thanks for the graph, it really helps us to know our strategy is  
paying off! And thank you so much to the team for all the wonderful  
support!

I've got about 20-30 NGO's in Pune onto the wiki, the local municipal  
body and other government authorities on board. We are headed to get  
schools and colleges do their civics, environmental science projects  
on the wiki. IT companies here are volunteering to train citizens in  
the use of the wiki.

Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Vishakapattanam, Mumbai and Delhi are expected  
to follow the Pune model. I am looking at other cities Asia (I will  
be talking about this in China in October to leaders from Asian  
countries), from Europe, Americas and Africa to tap the value of  
bringing collaborative governance through this wiki soon- Can you  
help campaign for this wiki? Do you have ideas on how to promote  
this? further? Can you advertise it on wikipedia and other key sites?

Thanks and regards,

Anupam

This extension still has the same problems for the non-english wikis.

it's because of double redirect (one from 404 handler, second from
translating url from special:Our404Handler to national version like
Specjalna: or Especial:), Our404Handler is some hack so i have to
rethink logic behind this extension. THis have low priority for us
though so i have to find some free time.

Ok,

Glad to hear at least some news.

Just a note: Now the extension seems disabled, but before that, going
to <http://www.wikia.com/asdf> didn't redirect to
Special:Our404Handler. Instead, the location still were
<http://www.wikia.com/asdf>. But the non-english languages were doing
that redirect.

Subject: [Wikia-l] Introducing Wikia Evolution
Message-ID: <6704a5e60808060901n1acf99dalc6c0c5f37eb9435@mail.gmail.com>

Crossposted to wikia-l and search-l.

I just posted this to the Wikia Search blog at
http://search.wikia.com/blog/2008/08/06/introducing-wikia-evolution/
and I hope members of both lists will download our new toolbar, Wikia
Evolution, and shoot back feedback!  You can download it and learn
more Wikia Evolution at
http://re.search.wikia.com/toolbar/download.html

The text of the blog post is below; the images and links are stripped.

Thanks,

Dan

***

One of our core values at Wikia Search is Community.  We want everyone
to be able to participate in the Wikia Search project.  That's why we
are proud to introduce Wikia Evolution, our new Firefox toolbar.  You
can download it here, or via Mozilla's Firefox Add-On Library.

The mission of Wikia Evolution: To empower users to interact with search.

We want to make it dead-simple for you to add URLs into our index
under appropriate keywords.  Already, we're the cutting edge when it
comes to incorporating user feedback into our search results, so much
so that Google is experimenting with eerily similar features.   Wikia
Evolution pushes the envelope even further.  It allows you to quickly
and easily add the web page you are on into Wikia Search, directly
from your browser, for whatever keyword is appropriate.  Instant
indexing!   Then, you can modify the search result to make it really
killer, all without leaving the page you're on.

Letting everyone modify search results pages is of fundamental
importance ? but you can't on either Google or Yahoo.    We can't
change that, sadly, but Wikia Evolution does the next best thing.
Using Wikia Evolution, you can add and rate URLs directly from Google
or Yahoo, and those contributions will be immediately incorporated
into Wikia Search.

Jimmy left a comment on the Mozilla download page, and I think it
bears repeating:  "This toolbar, like everything we are doing at Wikia
Search, is open source. We hope that if you are a toolbar fan and
programmer, you will let us know what features need to be added and/or
take this and do something surprising and cool with it."  Community:
Let's make it happen, together.

Subject: [Wikia-l] if GFDL is violated, who can sue?
Message-ID: <20080806185441.7FAC319F02C6@ut4.sjc.wikia-inc.com>

Another Wikipedia question on the wrong list :) but this is more 
related to Wikis in general so is presumably on-topic.  If something 
is published under the GFDL, and copied in many places, but then 
someone makes a copy and publishes it *not* under the GFDL (thus 
violating the GFDL terms), who can sue for that violation?  For 
example, if you made a copy of Wikipedia and didn't include the GFDL.

I read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights
but was unable to find an answer to this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks
suggests that DMCA takedown notices should be sent by anyone who is a 
contributor to Wikipedia and hence can claim that *their* copyright 
is being violated by a copy that violates the GFDL.  Does that 
similarly mean that any contributor would also have the right to sue 
if the GFDL-violating copy were not taken down?

Subject: [Wikia-l] Category tree
Message-ID: <BAC8DB5F844649548D83675C77732CE6@quartz>

We use <categorytree> to display categories for browsing. It's irritating how all
subcategories are shown with "[+]", yet only a few of them expand. Readers have to
click + to find out if further subcategories exist. After a delay, it often says "no
subcategories" (and the tree becomes one line deeper to show "no subcategories",
making it harder to see the rest of the tree).

When I add "depth=3" we get quite a nice result for empty categories at level 2. It
shows "[-] Mycat", and there is no redundant "no subcategories" message. However,
the "depth=3" tree is too deep for display on our main page, and it contains lots of
pointless "[+] Mycat" categories at level 3.

Can anything be done so <categorytree> shows "[-] Mycat" if Mycat contains no
subcategories? I would be happy if the category tree was cached and only updated a
couple of days after a change.

John

I forwarded it to Duesentrieb (developer).

Daniel told me:
"The new version of CT for MediaWiki 1.13 will show [x] instead of [+]
for empty categories. It can also show the number of subcategories,
pages and images on each category entry. This is based on additional
information in the database that has become available since 1.13.

I found that this doesn't *always* work, specifically, if you look on
category pages on wikipedia, this does not seem to apply. I have to
investigate why, since when testing locally, it works fine for me.
Once 1.13 is out, please test and let me know."

So if you are a bit patient - it should be done in a few days or weeks.

Bye, Tim.

Excellent. Thanks, and yes I'm patient!

I understand they made a special Category table just to track this 
information so that it wouldn't be too expensive. From the trunk database 
schema:

-- Track all existing categories.  Something is a category if 1) it has an 
en-
-- try somewhere in categorylinks, or 2) it once did.  Categories might not
-- have corresponding pages, so they need to be tracked separately.
--
CREATE TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/category (
  -- Primary key
  cat_id int unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,

  -- Name of the category, in the same form as page_title (with 
underscores).
  -- If there is a category page corresponding to this category, by 
definition,
  -- it has this name (in the Category namespace).
  cat_title varchar(255) binary NOT NULL,

  -- The numbers of member pages (including categories and media), 
subcatego-
  -- ries, and Image: namespace members, respectively.  These are signed to
  -- make underflow more obvious.  We make the first number include the 
second
  -- two for better sorting: subtracting for display is easy, adding for 
order-
  -- ing is not.
  cat_pages int signed NOT NULL default 0,
  cat_subcats int signed NOT NULL default 0,
  cat_files int signed NOT NULL default 0,

  -- Reserved for future use
  cat_hidden tinyint unsigned NOT NULL default 0,

  PRIMARY KEY (cat_id),
  UNIQUE KEY (cat_title),

  -- For Special:Mostlinkedcategories
  KEY (cat_pages)
) /*$wgDBTableOptions*/;

Unfortunately Wikia.com and other Wikia-owned domains have been
blocked in mainland China for some time. Wikipedia was similarly
blocked for many years, but recently unblocked for the Olympics along
with many other sites, though certainly not all.  It's something that
KJ (Wikia's Chinese-language community manager) and Jimmy Wales have
worked on reversing, though it's really not something we can control.
We continue to look for solutions for this, but until then, you might
want to read Wikipedia's advice on this at http://tinyurl.com/675onp

Hi Anupam,

I haven't noticed any slowdowns. I ran a speed
test<http://www.selfseo.com/website_speed_test.php>on a
page <http://government.wikia.com/wiki/United_States_of_America> from your
Wikia site; the load time was 0.53 seconds. Can you point to a page that is
running particularly slow?

-Andy

I seem to be having a problem on the White Wolf Wiki: as of yesterday,
even checking the "remember me" box, I can only remain logged in for
about an hour before I'm logged out again. Prior to this, I'd easily
remain logged in for weeks at a time.

While granted, it does increase security, it also makes it difficult
if I leave the Wiki for a short time to research an article only to
come back and find that I've been logged out for the fourth time in a
day.

Yes, there's something wrong. It's happening to me too. It is not that we
do not have cookies enabled, as I know I do.

Hi,

I'm afraid we have a problem with caching that's making it appear that
logins are dropping.  The technical team are working on as we speak.

For some people, it seems that clearing you browser cache and cookies
may help - although this isn't a full solution and doesn't always
work.

I'm sorry for the problem, we hope to have it fixed soon.

Subject: [Wikia-l] 133 new wikis; 100th language
Message-ID: <8b722b800808171901s66899de0pbcab0221ce852fce@mail.gmail.com>

It's been an exciting wiki for new wikis. We created 133 wikis and
reached a milestone of 100 languages. The Indian language Marathi was
the 100th language, with the creation of a wiki about Saints.

The wiki hosting site WikiLot.com closed down unexpectedly so Wikia
stepped in to rescue the content of more than 200 wikis they were
hosting. 10 of the wikis in the list below come from WikiLot, 6 are
merging with existing wikis, and more are expected to join us in the
coming weeks. More details on that can be found at
<http://www.wikia.com/wiki/WikiLot>

Message-ID: <496F52B6-3E76-407A-A458-7F3A405CB131@wikia-inc.com>

Hi.

Over the last couple weeks, we've had problems with Opera users not  
being able to log in to Wikia. We recently changed our front end  
loadbalancers to speed up performance on the site -- an important  
change that will help all of our sites. Sadly, this is causing a  
problem with logins and Opera.

We've been working on fixing this error -- but it's been more  
complicated than we expected, and we've been unable to reliably  
replicate the error. But we are working hard on it (and I am going to  
be working over the weekend on it :)

Sorry for the inconvenience -- I know this has been a big problem for  
folks who use Opera.


Cheers
Artur

It takes about 20 seconds to load, but it seems ok.

Subject: [Wikia-l] SMW+Undeletion Bug
Message-ID: <g8t4qr$g82$1@ger.gmane.org>

I'm still having the same undeletion bug on the Narutopedia that I had a 
fair bit of time ago.
Sometimes I am unable to undelete a page, because when I sumbit it get a 
white screen (ie: A PHP Error). I know for a fact, that this has 
something to do with Semantic MediaWiki being installed on the Narutopedia.
I know that, because I encountered that bug on my own dev server some 
time ago, and the log error was to do with SMW. However I am not getting 
that error on my own server anymore, so I can't pick out when or what 
fixed it. Perhaps Wikia should at least try updating SMW.

Daniel,

We're running a test where we approve all wikis that aren't offensive

One of the things jimbo told me when I started was that the wiki way  
assumed good faith and allowed people to edit/create without barriers,  
or a priori thinking

Creating a wiki is a barrier we put in place a long time ago - and  
I've been questioning why we require this process to start a wiki, but  
not to start editing on a dead wiki, or to create a new page on an  
existing wiki

So we're testing reducing the barriers to measure both the positive  
and negative impact. I expect there to be some of each :-)

Hi. There's been a new Semantic MediaWiki release (1.2.2) to fix this
problem. I've filed a bug to have our version updated to this newly
released version to fix this issue. This fix should be released as soon
as it's been evaluated.

I'll report it to be checked out.

Subject: [Wikia-l] Search for this phrase after wrong URL
Message-ID: <6E1FAED483A44BA2AAB0C44849C17760@quartz>

The wiki behaviour after an incorrect URL is entered might be improved.

I experimented by entering a nonexistent URL (simulating what would happen if I was
using an old bookmark to a page that had been moved, with the redirect later being
deleted):

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlighting_Long_Lines

The normal "no such page" appears:

Oops! Vim Tips Wiki does not have a page with this exact name.
* Click here to start this page or here to search for this phrase on the wiki.
* If a page previously existed at this exact title, please check the deletion log.

The problem is that clicking "search for this phrase" searches for
"Highlighting_Long_Lines". Of course that finds nothing (because the page titles and
contents don't contain underscores).

It seems to me that "search for this phrase" should replace underscores with spaces
before searching (it already seems to replace stuff like "%2C").

Also, IMHO the links should be reversed so it reads:
* Click here to search for this phrase on the wiki or here to start this page.

I know that Wikia wants to encourage participation, but if I enter an incorrect URL
it's because:

The daily usage statistics for the the government wiki (http:// 
government.wikia.com) is blank. The page requests per day and visits  
per day tables are blank. This wiki has had a lot of traffic,  
especially in the last 60 days- Why is it not reflected here?

Because to provide those statistics would require local hit counters to be 
turned on. They are not due to the impact it would have on performance. A 
database write every page access would not work out very well with Wikia's 
load (many wikis have several million hits a month). It also becomes 
misleading because the vast majority of hits are served by caches that do 
not hit the web servers at all.

Wikia uses Google Analytics, though I do not know if they have the ability 
to monitor all individual sites through that, or just the most popular. You 
could ask them if they have any information on the government wiki.

Work is going on to get this sort of visit data into the WikiStats.
The creator of the stats package we use has recently been hired by
Wikimedia who have the same problem with caching preventing the use of
hit counters. Wikia is also working on ways of getting more of this
essential information out to the wikis.

I've made a graph here, but the data is not yet in any sort of
accessible form, so making these is something that can only be done
manually as a one-off.

It would be great to hear about what you did in July to cause this
amazing increase.

Message-ID: <g9948q$qrg$1@ger.gmane.org>

So it's about time I asked... how long until Wikia starts supporting 
more semantic extensions?

I've been working with many of the developers and improving on many of 
the extensions.

In terms of the standard scalability stuff Semantic Forms is already 
more stable than Semantic MediaWiki itself.
I personally went through SF and re-factored a fair bit of code to use 
proper autoloading, stub objects, and especially I killed off the 
message defer system short circuiting in SF (unfortunately it's going to 
be a bit more work to kill that in SMW itself).
SF needs a bit of updates for the #arraymap and #arraymaptemplate to use 
SFH_OBJ_ARGS and nicely handle nested templates. But besides that they 
are working perfectly for what most people use them for.

I helped Yaron fix up Semantic Drilldown so it did not require the ALTER 
privilege as well. I'm running it on my own personal WikiFarm.

I haven't gotten around to the Halo extension yet, but it looks like it 
might be worthy of getting to. As well I'm watching the list, perhaps 
hopefully the author of Semantic Layers will get it into SVN at some 
point in time so it can get the same treatment.


Actually, I'm also working on a re-factor of EditPage.php. Whenever it 
gets complete SF will be able to extend the edit page in MW 1.14 and 
this will allow the internal preview to work nicely with SF rather than 
the current ugly implementation. Additionally I'm working on a change to 
the Parser to support hooking into link syntax. That's a bit larger a 
task, and I'll need to make sure it doesn't rob to much performance, but 
when complete it should allow SMW to support nested links again.

I'm not sure that people know enough about how to use what we already
have to warrant prioritising the other parts of it yet.

Are the parts we don't yet have easier to use, or will they add
complication that might put off users who aren't yet familiar with
Semantic MediaWiki?

There hasn't been much progress on either of these wikis yet, even
though both of them have a lot of potential to be made much more
useful with these features.

slightly off topic but what is up with yellowikis?? it was once independant,
then it seems it moved to wikia, yet now it redirects to the page that it
used telling us it would be back soon (in oct 06)

Semantic Forms does wonders for usability. SF does take a minor bit of 
work to setup, creating forms that is. However, after that it works 
brilliantly. #arraymap and #arraymaptemplate allow input to be in 
formats such as comma separated lists, so data input is easier...
ie: I could have an | affiliations = key for an infobox. Accept 
"Akatsuki, Kumogakure" and it could be rewritten to 
"[[Affiliation::Akatsuki]], [[Affiliation::Kumogakure]]" meaning that 
the semantic attributes are applied into the simple input. (This is far 
cleaner than any use of multiple #explodes that you could do).

As for a good live example... Take a look at my own wiki...
http://wiki-tools.com/wiki/WikiVid
Inside the infobox try clicking on the edit infobox button. You get 
pointed to an edit form for the infobox, which is actually transcluded 
into the current page. It cuts down on cruft inside the code (stops 
infobox templates from bumping page content down so you have to scroll 
to edit), and makes the actual editing of infobox templates far easier. 
All the inputs are sitting in front of you, and if you are only allowed 
certain values, then you have nice data inputs for selecting one of them.

That's actually a kind of interface I would like to trial over on the 
Narutopedia. Unfortunately, I can't even get the new Jutsu infoboxes 
working without the least of input handling parserfunctions like 
#arraymap (Though some of my WikiCode functions might make things easier 
in the future).


You honestly don't need to be familiar with Semantic MediaWiki to use 
it, only have someone who can create templates for you to use.
Oh... another one, Halo appears to have a mode for editing semantics 
within a page. So that kind of thing might make actual use of SMW much 
easier.

Angela,

Thanks for the graph, it really helps us to know our strategy is  
paying off! And thank you so much to the team for all the wonderful  
support!

I've got about 20-30 NGO's in Pune onto the wiki, the local municipal  
body and other government authorities on board. We are headed to get  
schools and colleges do their civics, environmental science projects  
on the wiki. IT companies here are volunteering to train citizens in  
the use of the wiki.

Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Vishakapattanam, Mumbai and Delhi are expected  
to follow the Pune model. I am looking at other cities Asia (I will  
be talking about this in China in October to leaders from Asian  
countries), from Europe, Americas and Africa to tap the value of  
bringing collaborative governance through this wiki soon- Can you  
help campaign for this wiki? Do you have ideas on how to promote  
this? further? Can you advertise it on wikipedia and other key sites?

Thanks and regards,

Anupam
