- Interlanguage links a quick interlanguage links hack.
- Done, in CVS
- International links. Currently, there is a system FrWikiPedia:test. Require to write test. Could it be either lighter (FRW:test) or could the first link automatiquely display fr:test on the screen
- search for thé
- stopword list needs to be customized... can this be done database-by-database? I don't think so; we may just need to take a few things out of it site-wide. :P Or armor known criminals so they don't get caught by the list. :)
- Ceci est une demande de fonctionalité: puisqu'on a décidé d'écrire les grands nombres avec des espaces de préférence insécables, et que le code pour ceux-ci n'est pas évident à deviner ou retenir pour un humain lambda, pourquoi pas créer ce code automatiquement au moment de la traduction Wiki -> HTML. Par exemple, tout espace situé entre deux chiffres serait insécable. Pour plus de sécurité, on peut mettre une limite sur la longueur des nombres ainsi formés, et vérifier qu'ils ont bien la syntaxe de nombres. Si un nombre est trop long ou mal formé -> ne traduire aucun de ses espaces. FvdP 16:48 nov 15, 2002 (CET)
- summary: use non-breaking spaces in sequences of numbers (eg "9 000 000"), probably also for certain punctuation sequences (eg "C'est quoi ?"). A limit of the number of characters to stick together that way would be useful in case some fool decides to put a billion digits of pi or something. :) This will likely be a language-dependent feature, as some languages use spaces this way more than others. --Brion VIBBER 19:43, 10 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- here is what we see when we go to the maintenance page:spelling mistake
A database query syntax error has occurred. The last attempted database query was: "SELECT cur_text FROM cur WHERE cur_title='Liste_de_fautes_d'orthographe_courantes' AND cur_namespace=4" from within function "wfSpecialMispeelings". MySQL returned error "1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'orthographe_courantes' AND cur_namespace=4' at line 1".
- We need to be more careful about the values of 'magic' page titles. Here, the page for mispeelings contains an apostrophe, which is let through to SQL unescaped and breaks the query. A well-placed wfStrencode() should fix that. --Brion VIBBER 19:43, 10 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Okay Brion. What what do we do with that non-working page ? I mean, who is doing what here ?
- I've made the fix to SpecialMaintenance.php, it shoudl work now. --Brion VIBBER 20:08, 11 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- thanks alot Brion
someone reported it was also checking spelling mistakes in international links. I could not check that since the feature is not working.
- Yes, it's not very smart. It also folds accents so doesn't see when they're wrong... the search isn't really the best way to handle this. Suggestions of a per-page spell checker triggered on editing might be a better way to go ultimately, but that's a much bigger task than belongs on this list. --Brion VIBBER 19:43, 10 Jul 2003 (UTC)
How about generally better error handling?
- Less scary error messages, esp. for search errors
- Get rid of "<html><body></body></html>" style error messages
- DB errors before a redirect (e.g. during page save) seem to be lost

Would it be a huge drop in performance to make the skin system work with templates, instead of the current system, where skins need to be written as scripts? -- Tarquin
How does this page interact with en:Wikipedia:bug reports? -- MyRedDice
- Bug reports should go in the bug reports tracker, not here. This is just a short list of serious known problems. --Brion VIBBER 17:47, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- hmm. ok. --MyRedDice
Revert vandal-bot ability?
I saw a bot vandalize a hunderd or so articles in a dozen or so minutes and on the vandalism page the talk was about changing them back ONE BY ONE. Surely someone can come up with a script with limited ability to revert all changes to all articles (starting at time aaa) touched by user xxx to the way the articles were before xxx touched them? User interface, option creep, and safety features would turn this into something else. I'm just saying how about a little gift for the administrators that does ONE thing. If they use it in time, they save themselves a lot of effort. signed just-passing-through
Why not just use that? Why do we need this page? Brianjd | Why restrict HTML? | 06:51, 2005 Mar 13 (UTC)
