  5. Still struggling with somewhere to host my "devlog"/ramblings.
    I was thinking of using a wiki, but most Hosts seem to have 2 types:
    - Public (anyone can EDIT)
    - Private (no-one can VIEW)

    Does anyone know of a simple, cheap wiki host where JUST ME can edit, and ANYONE can view (without invite, just public viewing)?

  7. @SarahFrumento Some accounts would be @CompGen (plain RSS feed from Wordpress blog), @eaf_blog (scraped from website, since RSS feed is too buggy), @GenWiki (recent changes from a #MediaWiki installation), @breisgau_hochschwarzwald_news (mostly from RSS feeds from their website), @archion_news, @matricula_news (the latter all scraped from website)

  8. #GitLab at work got updated to v18+ and I see that rounded corners are back in vogue. They used to be very popular in #MediaWiki monobook circa 2008. Italian #Wikiquote never removed them, so we're now fashionable again by staying still. :)

  12. Just wrote a piece of software (with help of #mistralai): a #MediaWiki CategoryDiver.

    The tool is build e.g. to parse a custom given root category in #WikimediaCommons and get all subcategories (no depth limit) visualize them and return additionally a json file including all filenames in a certain category.

    Feedback welcome.

  17. argh, why does #mediawiki subscribe you to page edits when you leave "watch page" unchecked? why are these two distinct concepts in the first place? why can I not configure "do not subscribe by default" in my notification settings? AAAA

    Edit: aha, this was an automated "topic subscription" (to "signatures") and can be deactivated in settings via unchecking "Automatically subscribe to topics". Obnoxious defaults tho, FU

  18. RE: fosstodon.org/@bluespice/11699

    After many years of building an “Enterprise Wiki” we think it's time for something new: a (wiki) software that intuitively structures knowledge, allows you to run highly scalable, interconnected knowledge spaces, as well as very small and simple knowledge bases, with #AI support that truly helps.

    In this webinar series, you’ll get a sneak peek at the new BlueSpice Galaxy. We’re really looking forward to it.

  20. @smsm1 I wonder what the history is of the diaries — back in the day, when they wanted a documentation site they set up #MediaWiki (which is still the right choice, I think) and in those days the obvious thing to use for blogs would probably have been WordPress. Nowadays perhaps one of the newer blog things could work.

  21. Rust rewrite of wikiextractor, processes enwiki dump with template expansion in 24 min (instead of 13h with Python). Output is binary compatible (not counting Python mangling). CLI parameters are identical. New option to output a specific page by title (instead of pageid).

  23. Chameleon 6 is out 🎉

    The highly flexible #MediaWiki skin now builds on #Bootstrap 5. All Bootstrap 5 classes and utilities work in your wikitext and templates, and thanks to CSS variables, many customizations that used to need an SCSS recompile are now plain CSS edits.

    Also new: Font Awesome 6. And the companion BootstrapComponents extension got a version 6 with Bootstrap 5 support.

  25. Playing around with video.js beta 10. Top the new player, below the mediawiki placeholder (pre-JS loading).

    It works quite well so far. i need to look at a few more gaps, but it's getting there.

  29. Mein kleines Refactoring-Projekt der heimischen Infrastruktur zieht immer größere Kreise.

    Wenn ich den fetten Server nachts abschalten will, brauche ich 24x7 Ersatz in klein. Dafür habe ich gestern eine APU 1D4 mit #Debian 13 bestückt.

    Stellt sich raus, dass ich vor 10 Jahren einen #Datenlogger ebenfalls auf einer APU 1D4 installiert habe, der alle 5 Minuten 24x7 die Zählerstände des digitalen Stromzählers und vom #Wechselrichter in eine Datenbank protokolliert. Ach ja, langsam erinnere ich mich wieder.

    Die Software dafür läuft im wesentlichen seit dieser Zeit ununterbrochen (ausser Stromausfällen) in meinem hinterletzen Subnetz. Zum Glück hatte ich damals in einem #MediaWiki dokumentiert, was ich damals verbrochen hatte.

    $ grep PRETTY /etc/os-release
    PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 7 (Core)"

    Da muss ich dann jetzt wohl auch mal ran...

  33. Native Markdown 1.2.0 is out!

    Fenced code blocks on #Markdown pages are now syntax highlighted server-side with Pygments, via the bundled SyntaxHighlight extension, exactly like wikitext ones.

    Also new: a maintenance script that bulk-converts existing pages to the Markdown content model, by .md title suffix or per namespace. Plus several thumbnail embed fixes.

    Odd that no proper Markdown integration for #MediaWiki existed yet.

    The world uses Markdown; now your wiki can too! No more mistyped link syntax :)

  37. Write your wiki pages in Markdown!

    We've released Native Markdown, a new #OpenSource #MediaWiki extension. The entire page is stored as Markdown rather than embedded within wikitext via a tag.

    You get functioning links, categories, search, table of contents, and even templates and parser functions.

    Add it to existing wikis without breaking anything: existing pages stay wikitext, and new pages default to #Markdown.

  39. We've released AI support for Semantic MediaWiki!

    You can now connect Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools to your @smw via our #OpenSource MCP server. Let them run queries or even edit on your behalf.

    This is a game-changer for SMW, since it drastically lowers the learning curve and removes friction from common actions.

  40. Wheee! Spent this morning finally tracking down why adaptive sizing (class "fitted") had stopped working on the wikis some time ago. Turns out that WikiMedia 1.40+ breaks what I was doing because it changed how CSS classes were applied to images.

    Long story short, use figure.fitted > a > img { } instead (or in addition to) img.fitted { } in MediaWiki:Common.css

  42. Does anybody know a workflow for converting exported #MediaWiki XML (as produced by `Special:Export`) to a ZIM for use with #KiwiX?

    I'm willing to write some Python code for this if needed but would be happier if there's some tool that lets me just drop in the XML and get a KiwiX-ready ZIM out. I'm not fussed about the aesthetics of the result.
