Hätte ja nicht gedacht, dass es so schwer sein kann bei Mediawiki 1.43.5 mit Vector 2022 für die Suchvorschläge eine Einstellung oder eine kleine Anpassung zu finden, die Namensräume ignoriert oder ggf. nebst 0 weitere festlegen lässt.
Sprich, ich würde gerne ach Vorschläge für NAMESPACE:PAGE kriegen, wenn ich PAGE suche.
Hach, ich geb's erstmal auf.

UnfinishedProjects — Open-licensed projects - a collective contribution

UnfinishedProjects — Open-licensed projects - a collective contribution
We have launched our wiki and forum that is built around collaboration on Libre projects. The aim is to create a community built around genuine and lasting connections, where people can work together on various projects across various disciplines - from artists to software developers…we hope to create a hub for skill-sharing and project creation.
In an age of instant connection, we are still remarkably lonely in our creative work. You can have a niche interest and instantly find someone across the globe who shares it — but sharing isn’t the same as collaborating. At some point in your creative journey, you may lack a specific skill or just need fresh ideas to move forward.
UnfinishedProjects is an attempt to connect you with other creative individuals and serve as a hub for open-licensed work. Our goal is to enable small, meaningful contributions across multiple projects, allowing us to move them forward together. It is an experiment in breaking isolation…an attempt to bring stalled ideas, or those simply too complex to finish alone, back to life through the power of collective contributions.
We aren’t just another place to talk about what we like. We don’t want to be yet another modern social media platform. We have faith in selfless connections and aim to build a place for meaningful and thoughtful discussions. We want to promote collaboration over self-promotion — a space where “incomplete” is not a shame or failure, but an opportunity to exchange with others, to build together, and eventually…to share the feeling of pride in what you’ve achieved.
We hope some of you will check out our platform as we try to establish our community.
Feel free to stop by our forum and introduce yourself at https://forum.unfinishedprojects.net/ - or read more about or community vision on our wiki at https://unfinishedprojects.net/wiki/About/VisionIn an age with modern social media and internet, it can sometimes be hard to sit down and dedicate time to build lasting relationships and communities, but we hope that our forum is taking a step in the right direction, and that you will help us build it into a community that brings back some purpose into our digital lives.

Wikibase for Digital Humanities, documentation by the DARIAH-EU DHwiki working group:
"These pages explore the significant role of Wikibase, the software behind Wikidata, as a powerful and versatile tool for creating structured knowledge bases following the principles of Linked Open Data (LOD). "

@macandi Ich kann nur sagen man kommt sehr weit. Ich arbeite komplett auf eigenen Plattformen und realisiere das auch für Kunden. Installationen von Software mit #homebrew auf #macos Adressbücher und Kalender z.B. von #owncloud oder #nextcloud ebenso wie Cloudspeicher – kann ohne Installationen z.B. auch über @hetzner bezogen werden und ist so #dsgvo Konform und mit dem Standort in Deutschland beheimatet.
Einzig der Wille ist entscheidend – ich gehe an der Stelle sogar noch weiter, denn meine Installationen basieren fast ausschließlich auf #opensource Plattformen wie #ucs #proxmox #truenas #vaultwarden und #mediawiki trotz der Tatsache, daß ich meistens #apple Geräte als Frontend benutze.
Also ein ganz klares JA es geht… wenn man nur will. -
WikiApiary is back online after having been down and overloaded for a long time.
Bawolff brought it back and did a ton of full stack performance work to optimise the whole system. Adding HTTP caching, tuning InnoDB, and more!

in today's accidentally cursed #wikitext, a username that ends with ! combined with the stock text "Hello $username!" creates a literal !!, which just so happens to be table markup to create a new cell, so it blows up the template: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AClick_this_username_please%21&diff=1340285003&oldid=1340165363

I followed the installation guidelines for #MediaWiki , although I used some additional extensions for the interactive map.
(The interactive map was one of the main reasons why I went with MediaWiki, and not the much simpler #DokuWiki or something similar.)

Using UTF-8 instead of ASCII directly in the code makes certain baseline fixes apparent, even within the commit messages. #MathML #MediaWiki

#pywikibot looks very useful and can definitely mitigiate some pain one might have interacting with the mediawiki api. But wow, it appears almost as complex and the docs are equally labyrinthine 🤯

I think I've fixed the bug where query string params weren't being used for @wm_au's event URLs, so it's now possible to do things like `https://wikimedia.org.au/events.ics?where=_pageID=4230` (and probably other silly things that break something else, I don't know).

The interactive map on the main page of my wiki can currently display only a maximum of 500 locations, which is not enough to display all of them.
I could try to change the relevant settings for #SemanticMediWiki , but I am worried that this will put too much additional strain on the server - the wiki has too many timeouts as it is (although less so after I updated the PHP version on Saturday).
Perhaps I should switch to #GeoJSON, at least for the map on the main page... although that means I can no longer show the preview images.

Federating knowledge: exploring ways to bridge wikis and notes
Join the workshop at #39C3!
NEW DATE: day 4, TODAY at 13:40 @ Free Knowledge Habitat Workshop Area.
Most people and organisations have their very own way of acquiring, organising, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?
This workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.
- What does it mean to federate knowledge repositories?
- Instead of pursuing a silver-bullet solution to embrace all use-cases, what would it mean to foster and enable interoperability for different software?
These questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organisations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the MediaWiki API to cross-synchronise my local Markdown notes and the XPUB wiki, the public learning wiki of the Experimental Publishing master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.
Some further, more specific, insights and questions:
- Local-first approaches and software (e.g. Reflection)
- Interesting experiments based on existing protocols, such as Ibis
- What do we take of semi-open and obscure yet very cool initiatives like Anytype
- The power and the limits of plain-text: how to enable collaboration on simple Markdown files and build on top of it, as Obsidian does

I still have to deal with #WebsiteOutages , and currently I have another massive one which won't go away by purging the Varnish cache. As usual, the outage started between 23:00 and 24:00 UTC, which is _weird_.
I have asked Gandi.net customer service a few weeks ago, but beyond suggesting blocking a random crawler, they said the following:
"Personally, I would check the plugins on my various websites and the scheduled tasks (especially backup plugins)."
I don't remember installing such plugins manually. Does anyone know of such processes that are installed on either #WordPress or #MediaWiki sites by default? (Or perhaps this is done by #SemanticMediaWiki ?)
In three days I will be leaving for a vacation, so this is the last opportunity I have to improve this situation this year.

Last Wednesday, my fellow XPUB1 classmates and me wrapped up the trimester with a collective folding, binding, and paginating party to make A_Mazing Machine[s]: Wordscapes to Liberate Language, the printed publication of our Special Issue 28!
My first few months at @xpub have been incredible. I am so proud of my classmates, the work we did together, and what we learned. I am also very grateful to our tutors, who have been super kind and inspiring!
All information, plus a PDF of the printed version, made with WeasyPrint is available on this Eleventy website we created to share all the things that we explored. It mirrors our incredible, legendary wiki. It was very interesting and insightful, so I published my notes about Using MediaWiki as a CMS for Eleventy.
