I fell for Tim's sly misdirection utterly. :-)  He was talking about,
and just there I was thinking of, the diffs run off of the history page,
not the edit page.

Odd mathtex problem?

On this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_plate

I'm getting "Failed to parse (Can't write to or create math output
directory): r_{n} = \sqrt{n f \lambda}" in place of the mathtex
equations.

However:
When I click "edit", the equations display correctly in the preview.

I'm guessing purging the cache or something might fix it, but in case
no one has seen this before I thought I'd report it.

We'll get a few and give them typewriters, then they can go ahead and
write the encyclopaedia. Easier to clean up after than all those
monkeys.

how to sync wikipedia on different PC

Hello

That might be a obvious question (however I did not find a solution
when looking up the documentation).

So I have my own private wikipedia running on one Laptop using
mediawiki 1.7.

Now I have installed the same setting on a different laptop. In both
cases the mysql database in question is called wikidb.

I thought I just could pack (tar.gz) the one wikidb and transfer it to
the other laptop, unpack it (rename the old one) and off you go.

Not so! When I go to All pages in that Laptop, I still see the "old"
pages.

Shall I execute a special command?

Thanks

Are you using any cache like eAccelerator?

No no caching, as far as I can tell

Extension Installer

Hi all

I have written an experimental installer for extensions. It's in SVN,
maintenance/installExtension.php; It would be great if you would try it,
and give some feedback. I hope this will make life much easier for users.

Basically, it fetches the files, places them in the extension dir, and
optionally patches LocalSettings.php (if the user chooses that option
and the extension provides an install.settings patch file). The
CategoryTree extension has such a file, if you want to try the patching
feature.

Extensions can be fetched from local tgz files or directories, from
remote tgz files, or from a SVN path. The installer looks up extensions
in "repositories", which are directories containing tgz files or
subdirectories.

Per default, http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions
is used as the repository (in svn mode), unless MediaWiki was checked
out via SVN - in that case, the SVN path given in .svn/entries is used.

For testing, I have set up a tgz based repository at
<http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/repository/extensions/>. It has a tgz
for each subdirectory in the extensions module. Note that extensions
that do not have their own subdirectory are not supported.

Caveats: Custom install scripts (for example to patch the database) are
not yet supported. This needs some more thought I guess. The ability to
uninstall or deactivate extensions could be added - not sure how helpful
that would be. The present script will also not work on Windows, because
