  1. 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.

  2. 📣 The new versions of BlueSpice 5.2.6 and 5.1.10 are now available for download.

  3. @HannahClover @JakeOrlowitz I just saw this, about upcoming June 27 & 28 cafés. I'm already promoting other things this month, easy enough to add these to my existing efforts, especially where they align. meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_t #Wikipedia #Mediawiki #WMF

  4. RE: mastodon.social/@slowenough/11

    Quote-boosting for Jake's article and this whole thread. Tagging some folks who I know care about Wikipedia and are, or are not yet following this. Please chime in if you are so moved, and/or share forward to others! @claudinec @MarkDilley @HannahClover @selenamarie @PeteForsyth @JakeOrlowitz @j3rry @lizzard @k9ox #Wikipedia #wiki #commons #community #labor #unions #Mediawiki #WMF

  5. @firefoxwebdevs I believe this would reach its full potential if supported and implemented also for headers in @mediawiki transcluded pages/templates, and in situations with no front-end JavaScript, for example when computing the heading level inside @11ty includes.

  8. Wissensmanagement im Nexus: MediaWiki, Discourse & Confluence out of the Box

    In modernen Organisationen ist Wissen die entscheidende Ressource. Ob als kollaboratives Nachschlagewerk, als strukturierte Projektdokumentation oder als lebendige Community-Diskussion: ohne ein gut eingebundenes Wiki- oder Wissenssystem verlieren Teams wertvolle Zeit.Das Infinito.Nexus stellt deshalb drei etablierte Systeme out of the box bereit: MediaWiki, Discourse und Confluence. Alle drei sind nahtlos über LDAP und OpenID Connect (OIDC) in den eigenen Mikrokosmos eingebunden – entweder über das vom Nexus bereitgestellte OpenLDAP oder über eine direkte Active-Directory-Integration, falls bereits eine Microsoft-Infrastruktur vorhanden ist. Damit wird Infinito.Nexus zu einer echten Alternative zu Microsoft SharePoint: leistungsfähig, flexibel, anpassbar und voll OnPremise kontrollierbar. […]

  9. The wiki has been offline since a long time now. But I finally got around to revisit the migration from to @readthedocs. So far it's not finished, but there is great progress. I already opened the PR at github.com/navit-gps/navit/pul to get the nice preview from
    Preview:
    navit--1281.org.readthedocs.bu
    Any ideas how to make the Doc's even better?

  10. Notice something new on the Rainverse Wiki home page?

    That's right,
    we have a poll!

    Inspired by polls on Super Mario Wiki, we will periodically ask you, the readers, assorted questions about the Rainverse! When the poll concludes, it will be replaced by another poll, and the results will be moved to the new
    Poll Archive page.

    This new feature is thanks to
    @[email protected] and @[email protected] . Awhile back, @[email protected] started whining on Miraheze Discord and Rainverse Matrix that there were inadequate polling options available on Miraheze. In response to Beth's whining, Claire made a whole new MediaWiki extension, and Average Helper and Claire did the hard work to get it installed on Miraheze.

    I'm also ready to preemptively announce plans for the Rain Character Tournament 3 and the My Impossible Soulmate Character Tournament 1. Each character tournament will ask you to vote for your favorite character in a series of matches, with winning characters advancing to the next round until only one remains.

    Neither tournament will happen for awhile: The next Rain Character Tournament will likely begin several months
    after the release of Rain Volume 7, while the first MIS Character Tournament will not begin until after MIS Volume 1 is released. But we can announce that when these character tournaments do happen, you'll be able to vote straight from the wiki home page.
