Admin

Hello, I gave you admin and check-user rights for blocking spammers. Regards, Yann 00:48, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

Thanks. —Pathoschild 12:46:47, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Using Wikilivres images elsewhere

Hello,

Wikimedia Commons allows other sites to use its images online. This is very useful, and it is used here for author pages. Would it be possible to do the opposite? Allowing Wikimedia sites to use Wikilivres images in the same way? This would be very useful for Wikisource, as there are many scans which are not acceptable, but the text itself is. We will have to check for load though.

Thanks, Yann 02:04, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

Yes, it's possible. We don't need to do anything on our end: the Wikimedia system administrators can enable this through configuration. However, they might not want to create a dependency on an external project, and many of our images may not be legal in the US. —Pathoschild 12:57:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Webalizer

Hello, Since the system update, I get daily this error message: /etc/cron.daily/webalizer: Error Opening file /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat. Any idea? Yann 07:09, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

The GeoIP database that Webalizer depends on has been moved into the geoip-database package; installing the package should fix the problem. —Pathoschild 22:11:24, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Uploading with URL source

Hello,

Uploading with URL source doesn't seem to work any more. It worked before the upgrade. Any idea? Thanks, Yann 13:42, 26 April 2011 (EDT)

I was able to upload by URL as an administrator. If we want to enable it for non-administrators, we need to assign the upload_by_url right to the user group. Is that what you mean? —Pathoschild 15:05:59, 01 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that would be OK. Yann 18:27, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

Small files work. But big files do not work. I try to upload the DJVU from [1]. Yann 18:36, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

I looked into the source code. The failure is caused by a timeout in the upload script because of the file's size. That feature has been completely rewritten in MediaWiki 1.17, which now uploads asynchronously through the job queue (source code). The problem should thus be resolved when we upgrade.

Manually uploading the file should work; I can do it for you if your bandwidth is limited. Is it important enough to upgrade immediately to the first beta release of 1.17 published a few days ago? It's probably not production-stable yet, so I suspect we'd cause more issues if we upgrade immediately. —Pathoschild 02:32:11, 07 May 2011 (UTC)

OK let's wait for a stable release before upgrading. Yann 13:00, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

Le fichier PDF crée un formulaire mais pas d'images ?

Bonjour Pathoschild,

Ce fichier a bien créé un formulaire dans la Page d’index, mais je n’arrive pas à lui faire afficher les pages. Peux-tu trouver pourquoi ? Que faut-il faire ? Merci de ton aide ! --Zephyrus 05:32, 9 November 2011 (EST)

Bonjour Zephyrus. Le problème est un bogue avec l'extension Proofread Page (une référence null), qui devrait se résoudre quand nous mettons à jour MediaWiki et les extensions. (MediaWiki 1.18 devrait être stable très bientôt, d'après Rob Lanphier sur Wikitech-l.) —Pathoschild 01:44:18, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Merci Pathoschild, j’ai créé le djvu correspondant et j’explore les liens que tu donnes ci-dessus. Merci de ta présence. --Zephyrus 02:52, 10 November 2011 (EST)

Upgrading and spamming

Hello,

There has been a recrudescence of spammers lately. Could you upgrade to the latest version of Mediawiki, and install a better captcha. Thanks a lot, Yann 15:01, 15 November 2011 (EST)

Hello Yannf. MediaWiki 1.18 has been released, and there may be a 1.18.1 release soon to fix a few minor issues. When do you want to schedule an update? —Pathoschild 16:46:40, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Bonjour,

MediaWiki 1.18.1 est maintenant sorti. Il serait intéressant de faire la mise à niveau, si tu en avais le temps. Marc 06:58, 19 January 2012 (EST)

Djvu

Bonjour Pathoschild,

Je me demandais comment tu avais fait pour configurer l’affichage dans l’espace page. Pour ma part, aucune solution ne fonctionne, et cela m’intéressait de savoir comment tu as procédé. Marc 20:27, 8 December 2011 (EST)

Bonjour Marc. La page Manual:How to use DjVu with MediaWiki explique comment configurer DjVu. (Il n'y a aucune configuration spécial pour l'espace Page.) La configuration pour Wikilivres suit:

$wgFileExtensions = array_merge( $wgFileExtensions, array('djvu'));

// ...

$wgDjvuTxt = "djvutxt";
$wgDjvuDump = "djvudump";
$wgDjvuRenderer = "ddjvu";
$wgDjvuPostProcessor = "ppmtojpeg";
$wgDjvuOutputExtension = 'jpg';
$wgDjvuToXML = 'djvutoxml';
