Success

I succeeded in backing up the database and the file system finally. I installed the most current version of Proofread Page but it failed on update.php so I removed it and installed the version that matches the mw version and after realizing I had to set permissions on all the folders and files created it's up! I haven't created the necessary namespaces , so Proofread Page won't function yet. Let me know anything you think should be changed.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 00:48, 11 October 2011 (EDT)

ZOMG! Scary Transclusion rocks!

Check out:

• Python a transclusion of a non-mediawiki wiki
• Python/raw a transclusion of the code from the same page
• Python/subst a substitution of the same page

Script for Commons

Hey, on a separate issue, I need a script for adding a template to a series of jpgs modeled on the one you did for More. Only difference is this one has only 3 digits to the page names rather than the 4 in More's Utopia. I started trying to do it myself but got stuck on how to get the page number out of the middle of the page name. I will keep trying but I think I need to spend more time on basics before I can do this myself. The exact case I'm looking to do is commons:Category:Nietzsche's Werke, I, there are only three files there now but there are several hundred that need to be. I was just going to recat them but then I thought to {{book}} them and then I though, well, I really ought to put the navigation in, so I created Commons:Template:Nietzsche's Werke, I, but then realized I needed to bot in not only the template but the parameters for the page numbers, at which point I realized that a simple replace.py wouldn't work unless I made at least two runs (the first subst'ing pagenames and the second removing the non-numeric parts), which I recognize as silly.

• BTW, along the way I discovered a couple of pybot bugs, the first being that -titleregex only works in the mainspace (I submitted a bug) and the second being a problem with dotall and multiline when used in user-fixes.py--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 05:50, 7 December 2011 (EST)
