- « Is it possible to have MediaWiki ignore capitalization, so that a link to "Social change" goes to a page called "Social Change" ? »
Can you explain a little more ? --Dieudonné 21:49, 20 December 2005 (CET)
I knew there was a page on social change. So on a page where social change was mentioned i made a link to Social change. But it looked like a link to a page that doesn't exist. So i checked the spelling and the actual page is Social Change. I imagine this kind of thing is going to happen many times to me and other people. I checked right away and fixed it, but not everyone will do this, and we will end up with multiple pages on the same topic, creating lots of work for wiki editors to merge pages, fix links, etc. So, i am wondering if there is a setting for MediaWiki that we can change so that it treats Social Change, Social change, social Change and social change all as the same thing. (aha, i see that the 2nd and 4th ones are already treated as the same!) --John Abbe 02:17, 21 December 2005 (CET)

Multilingual
Hello Markus !
how about setting up a multilingual wiki : So we would have
with links between pages, like for www.wikipedia.org :)
we are allready working on the subject here :
--Dieudo
Sounds like a great idea! User:Markus Pallo and i talked about this earlier. We definitely want to get there eventually. We're just getting started, don't have the time and people resources to do it yet, so we thought we would start in English and see how things go. I'm certainly open to shifting, especially if you have the people resources to help make it happen!
Hi,
as John told, we thought about multilingual wiki. I will try to make some experiments for setting up several languages at the beginning of the next year.
Spam
There seems to be a bug on this wiki. Have a look at the bottom of this page : http://www.nvcwiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=1721
warmly, Dieudonné
for me it seems not like a bug, it looks like a spam spider which adds generic content. At the moment i have no idea how to protect this, without introducing required logins. Did you have any ideas ?
I guess the Wikipedia community has allready been confronted to this kind of problem, and has made a robot to prevent this kind problem. For example, after having set up theses pages :
- http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Communication_non_violente&oldid=404347
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nonviolent_communication&oldid=3397727
I wanted to set the Italien version of it by copying the text of presentation used here :
but a robot discovered it was a copy of an existing page, and then removed the article.
There is half of a spam solution here: http://peterkaminski.com/archives/000462.html
When the system that helps us share blacklists among sites is created, then we can try it out. Actually, we could create our own blacklist. I haven't checked yet, but i think a lot of what's getting posted is the same links over and over. --John Abbe 09:20, 21 December 2005 (CET)
Open the code?
How about a version-controlled repository of the live code which runs this site (I like the darcs change control system, which is Free Software--it makes all of what I am about to suggest nice and easy).
Thus we could have a page in the wiki which shows where to pull the current code from, and where people who enjoy hacking a bit (like myself), can code some feature, or write a new CSS theme, for example, and then e-mail off a patch guaranteed to work against the code you are running.
(By the way, who has access to the installed code?)
We can think about this, I installed the wiki and have access to the code. Who will be the owner of the version control system ? I know about cvs, but do not like to host the server for control system. How often we want to update the live system ? Who will be responsible for changes to be running ?
