[edit] MediaWiki diff and blamemap

Hello everyone

Back in the summer I did a small demo
http://217.147.83.36:9000/history::171=170 that allowed tracking
contributions. It was quite slow and UTF-8 incompatible.
So I'm pleased to announce that after some optimization and rewriting
it in C I've managed to implement UTF-8 support and substantially
increase performance. At the moment it is several times faster than
current wikidiff2 extension (C++ version) and has peak throughput of
around 3 mb/s.
You can take a look at live demo.
Sample blamemap:
http://217.147.83.36:9001/wiki/Freebsd?trackchanges=blamemap&oldid=1524

Can track even a single character change:
http://217.147.83.36:9001/wiki/Freebsd?trackchanges=diff1&oldid=1516

Handles text swap:
http://217.147.83.36:9001/wiki/Freebsd?trackchanges=diff2&oldid=1513

I've plugged it into mediawiki code so at the moment every article and
talk page is having credits section and corresponding blamemap. At the
moment in order to use this you'll have to have root access to the
server and some changes to the mainline code and database will be
needed. If you're interested in testing this extension drop me a line.

Best regards
Roman

[edit] SpamBlacklist

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SpamBlacklist_extension

The primary source for a MediaWiki-compatible blacklist file is the Wikimedia spam blacklist on meta, at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist. The default configuration loads this list once every 10-15 minutes. [...]

If you'd like to draw the list of bad host names from multiple or different sources, add the $wgSpamBlacklistFiles array after the line including the extension. [...] $wgSpamBlacklistFiles is an array, each value containing either a URL, a filename, or a database location. Specifying a database location allows you to draw the blacklist from a page on your wiki.

The format of the database location specifier is "DB: [db name] [title]". [...]

For example:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/SpamBlacklist/SpamBlacklist.php" );
$wgSpamBlacklistFiles = array(
   "$IP/extensions/SpamBlacklist/wikimedia_blacklist", // Wikimedia's list
   //  database      title
   "DB: wikidb My_spam_blacklist",    
);
In the above example, the spam blacklist will be constructed from two sources: a file called wikimedia_blacklist in the SpamBlacklist directory of the Wiki installation, and the contents of a page on the wiki called My_spam_blacklist.

Whitelist

A corresponding whitelist can be maintained by editing the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist message.

[edit] Farmer

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Farmer

Farmer is a tool that allows you to manage a MediaWiki farm as well as make configuration changes to a wiki via a web interface.

...

[edit] Shared Tables

Once you have the patch installed, put the following in LocalSettings.php
$wgSharedTables = array(
    'user'          => $sharedPrefix . 'user',
    'user_groups'   => $sharedPrefix . 'user_groups',
    'interwiki'     => $sharedPrefix . 'interwiki',
    'math'          => $sharedPrefix . 'math',
);
This will share the 'user', 'user_groups', 'interwiki', and 'math' tables among all wikis in your farm.

[edit] Creating Wikis

Wikis can be created by following a link on Special:Farmer. This link is only available if the following conditions are met

...

When you press the button, the following happens:

1. Your wiki's basic config file is generated with the information you supplied

2. The SQL in the file specified by Farmer's newDbSourceFile configuration setting is executed, creating the necessary tables

3. The wiki's main page is set to the content defined in the farmernewwikimainpage system message

4. The new wiki's system messages are populated

5. The interwiki table is updated with a reference to this wiki

6. The person who created this wiki is added to a group of the name [farmer][wikiname][admin], where wikiname is the name of the wiki.

If everything works, you should see a message saying your wiki was created. This message will contain a link to your new wiki.

[edit] Managing Wikis

Farmer allows system operators as well as per-wiki admins to have control over some aspects of individual wikis. These controls can be found at Special:Farmer/admin. Currently, these controls just allow you to set the wiki description and define permissions for your wiki. In the future, it is hoped to provide a much more verbose interface to other variables.

[edit] Manage Extensions

Farmer allows farmer administrators to define extensions which can be selected for loading by member wikis.

[edit] Graph Data Structures

http://opensource.case.edu/trac_projects/MediaWikiHacks/browser/extensions/GraphDataStructure , etc.

http://opensource.case.edu/trac_projects/MediaWikiHacks/wiki/GraphDataStructure. Retrieved on 2007-05-11 11:18.

The GraphDataStructure extension is a class that interfaces with MediaWiki to obtain graph data structures representing your wiki.

The class by default populates a graph of your entire wiki from the database. It looks for articles, categories, templates, images, etc and assigns a node to each of these. Next, it looks for page links, image use, category association, template usage, etc and assigns edges between nodes. This extension will also take attributes and relations from Semantic MediaWiki and include them as node attributes or edges between nodes.

The class is able to export XML of the internal structure. It can also take XML as a constructor to re-create a data structure. The XML output is a custom schema that efficiently gets the job done. I am considering RDF output, but that may come in the form of a separate extension that converts this class's XML output to RDF and vice-versa.

The class also provides some helpful methods that allow you to define the active node and prune all nodes and edges not connected to this node.

GraphStructures is a special page that interfaces with this extension.

http://opensource.case.edu/trac_projects/MediaWikiHacks/wiki/GraphStructures. Retrieved on 2007-05-11 11:18.

GraphStructures is a special page that interfaces with GraphDataStructure. This frontend has a caching infrastructure for GraphDataStructure with parameters that can be user-defined. The output for every query to this extension is saved to disk and cached files will be automatically pruned when they have expired.

This special page is also an includable special page, which means its output is internally available to MediaWiki? (it is possible to have another extension query for XML without having to perform a client request).

This extension provides a limited set of outputs. Currently, one can query for the entire graph, the categories graph, or per-article graphs. The output type is limited to what GraphDataStructure provides.

A demo of this extension is available at http://wiki.case.edu/Special:GraphStructure
