[opensuse-wiki] Good/cool links never change
by Marcus Rueckert 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

hi, mediawiki is pretty flexible when it comes to managing links and renaming links. it adds a nice redirect page which makes sure that external links keep working. in the current state the new opensuse wiki is horrible. almost all external opensuse documentation (be it on build.o.o, in osc or in blog entries) is trash now, as they point to dead links. So I would like to ask ... can we please add a policy that every migrated page has to have the redirect page for its old name? And on top of that add the redirects for all pages that are already migrated? the current situation is annoying and leaving a bad impression for the project. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Spammer and IP blocked
by Rémy Marquis 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

(Forwarding my message from yesterday that wasn't publicly available - my mistake). Hi there, Please note I removed the block on the spammer I put this morning, as some people seem to be unable to use some features (image uploading and import/export pages). For some reason, a wide range of IP was blocked at the same time as the one belonging to the spammer. Not sure if this is a wiki bug, or a wiki admin bug :) We might re-add the block later if necessary. I also alerted Frank Sundermeyer about this issue.

[opensuse-wiki] Maps implementation
by Tim Mohlmann 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Henne, On irc you requested me to implement the maps extension on http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Map. What I did: I edit and checked the list on http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Map/Coordinates to make it usable for the extension. (removing spaces, <br> and other bad things.) Enforced a <noinclude> for the top part off the article. Edit Template:map_user to meet the extension's syntax as stated on http://mapping.referata.com/wiki/Help:Marker_data (#display_points:Address1~Title1~Label1~Icon1; address2~Title2~Label2~Icon2) etc. Address can be an existing address (eg Berlin, Germany) or decimal coördinates, seperated by comma. The latter is used in the list. So the template now looks like this: {{{1}}}, {{{2}}}~{{{3}}}~{{{4}}}, {{{5}}}; (including space behind ";") for: Code: {{Map user|<Latitude>|<Longitude>|<Label>|<Description>|<URL>}} So next step was, since I enforced <noinclude> in the non-list part of http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Map/Coordinates, to remove the old map from http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Map and add the line: {{#display_points:{{openSUSE:Map/Coordinates}}}}. This takes the complete list, generated by above template, in a correct systax. However, when I push preview (thank god I didn't safe) I get a fatal server error (500) from novell. Is it just to much to handle? Or am I missing something. I don't know how this kicks in on server recources, there are 314 user's locations to be processed on the fly, each having 3 syntax for the actual #display_points command. This means about 950 options for 1 command. Or I'm doing something wrong here, or it's just not capable of doing the job.

[opensuse-wiki] Deletion policy
by Rajko M. 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Instead of immediate deletion of articles that don't violate basic Terms of site, please set {{Delete|<explanation>}} on the page. Give a chance contributors to speak up. I just caught myself deleting articles that are not real violation, but merely misunderstanding of how we work now. My deletion was just a bit softer then other I've seen recently as I left some remark on user talk pages, but still rushed and not necessary as article can be found later in category: http://en.opensuse.org/Category:Pages_to_delete and then deleted. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

As a bonus, this will "update" search engines to only list en.o.o (instead of giving us a penalty because of duplicate content in wiki.o.o and en.o.o ;-) Final note: IMHO we can't ever drop wiki.o.o (there are too many links to it out there), but we can at least make clear that en.o.o is the correct place/URL.

[opensuse-wiki] Orphaned Talk-Page/Discussion-Page

http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=SDB_Talk:Sysreqs&action=history Hello List, hello admins, - [[SDB_Talk:Sysreqs]] exists: "http://en.opensuse.org/sysreqs" is printed on our DVD Media." - [[SDB:Sysreqs]] exits not To prevent that in the future: - Maybe small remarks to Redirect pages could be made directly on that pages? No one will see them unless he wants to take a look directly on the redirect-page: for example I have edited: http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Sysreqs&redirect=no if someone who wants to delete a redirect would look at the source code first. - Are the discussion pages not moved automatically with the article pages?

[opensuse-wiki] Buy openSUSE link on software.o.o ?
by Michael Loeffler 21 Jul '10

Moin, what about adding the retail box to http://software.opensuse.org/113/en ? [http://en.opensuse.org/Buy_openSUSE] Imo it would be the right place to inform people about the retail box and as far as I remember we had this with former versions.
