[opensuse-wiki] Change to https://en.opensuse.org/Derivatives
by PatrickD Garvey 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

Can we discuss this change in the basic format of https://en.opensuse.org/Derivatives from a vertical, scan-able format: https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Derivatives&oldid=118061 to a format requiring a left-to-right scan as well as an up-and-down scan: https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Derivatives&direction=next&oldid=11… I especially think the loss of the table of contents (TOC) makes the search for what I may want more difficult. The TOC allowed me a quick understanding of the available derivatives and a quick move via a link to that derivative's description. With the latest edit, I must search the entire page, which can mean both a scroll left in addition to a scroll down, to understand what is available before I can see the description that interests me. That's a definite loss of usability in my opinion. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

CLT 2011 happened some time ago. What does the openSUSE project usually do with such wiki pages? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

https://en.opensuse.org/Command_Line_Tuesdays appears to be an incomplete copy of some news.openSUSE.org articles. Does it belong in the wiki? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

Since there are legal implications, could someone from SUSE validate my latest edit to: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_application_blacklist#Softwa… Thank you, PatrickD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Should openSUSE:KDE-telepathy be in Main or SDB?
by H Zeng 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hello everyone, I am new here. Today, I am trying to update the page openSUSE:KDE-telepathy <https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE-telepathy> to include more information. Then I realise I need get familiar with the rules. They are a little difficult for me to catch up with. I am learning slowly now and think I should confirm whenever I have doubt in order not to destroy the work you have done. Here is the first question I have. Should the upper mentioned page be moved to Main or SDB namespace because openSUSE namespace is for "Presentation and working pages of our teams, tools and projects. Everything for the contributors to our project. "? Thanks in advance. ~~~~~ Haoxian Zeng, a.k.a.

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki status update
by Christian Boltz 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

Hello, good news: after a month of hunting a) spammers and b) server admins, the needed wiki extensions to prevent and delete wiki spam finally got installed and the database updated so that those extensions can work. (Done in the english wiki, the others will follow.) This means the wiki is editable again :-) It also means we now have an easy way to block spam, and can mass-delete existing spam pages. As every good news, there's also a bit of bad news - the database update cleared all cache, which means the wiki is terribly slow at the moment. BTW: If I accidently delete something that was not spam while doing the mass deletion, please tell me ;-) For those who are interested in details: - the Nuke and AbuseFilter extensions were installed - I just added the first spam filter - let's see how it works out (and tell me if it accidently produces false positives [1]) - I just started to delete all the spam. If someone has admin permissions on the english wiki and wants to help, head over to https://en.opensuse.org/Special:Nuke and enter something like %1_8% as page title search term. It uses MySQL LIKE syntax, as a regex the example means .*1.8.* (the "all pages" list will give you more spam page titles if you sort by creation date) - If you are interested in helping with AbuseFilter rules, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam/AbuseFilter_examples and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AbuseFilter#Documentation_and_mana… for documentation. If you reply to this mail, please answer only to one list. Cross-posting the announcement is enough ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz [1] Funnily I was the first victim of the spam filter ;-) I didn't exclude the 'delete' action on the first attemp. When I tried to delete pages with spammy title, this was denied because the page title matched the spam filter ;-) Lesson learned: I need to exclude the 'delete' action from the filter ;-) -- For Geralds problem "rpm -e digikam-doc" would be the solution: nobody is going to read 19.3MB of documentation anyway, given that people do not even read short README's :-P [Stefan Seyfried in opensuse-factory] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] LEAP content
by Dave Howorth 04 Mar '16

Hmm, on https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:42.1 it says "Contents · The contents of the various release media" which links to https://en.opensuse.org/Media_layout which says: "(Redirected from Media layout) Archive:Media layout 13.2" Where is the contents information for LEAP?

[opensuse-wiki] Re: [opensuse-project] SPAM on openSUSE wiki

Hello, TL;DR: the english wiki is temporarily read-only to stop spammers (wiki admins can still do edits) Am Freitag, 26. Februar 2016, 19:37:11 CET schrieb Christian Boltz: > Am Freitag, 26.

Yes, I'm aware that this will also block "good" edits. Sorry for that, but even if someone sends me a mail with "can you please change $page to $text", it's still faster than deleting 1000 more spam pages. (Still, I'd like to ask you to do this only in really urgent cases ;-) On releated news: I discussed available options to block the spammers with Darix. The "Nuke" extension to mass-delete pages is already on the staging wiki and should be available in the production wiki on monday. We also have some ideas to prevent spam posts - more on this when it's implemented. Fun fact, in case someone wonders: blocking the spammers by username means fighting windmills - they switch user accounts faster than I can block them :-( (yes, I tested this!)
