2009-08-02 DNS switch / wiki on new server
If you are reading this you are on the new Wiki server already. We just switched to better hosting after the recent downtimes, we are looking forward to be more reliable and faster. mutante 17:46, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

2008-12-11 Mediawiki 1.13.2 / reCAPTCHA
Recently upgraded to Mediawiki 1.13.2 and added reCAPTCHA, it actually puts the captcha challenges to a good use, helping to digitize old books, word by word, read the details in the link. So there was a mediawiki extension for that and it replaces the old match captcha from ConfirmEdit now.

2008-02-03 Mediawiki 1.11 / Quiz Extension
Upgraded to MediaWiki 1.11 (security release). Installed Quiz Extension. See Quiz and Wikiversity:Quiz.

2007-11-04 GoogleMaps Extension
Maps fixed and upgraded to 0.80. -> ,

"Version 0.8.0 supports colored zones (polygons), adds a button to the edit page, allows zooming with the mouse wheel, fixes several bugs, has translations for Chinese and Russian, and includes several other features"

2007-11-02 ASCII_Art_Extensions
Fix ASCII_Art_Extensions ,figlet, boxes and cowsay.

2007-10-28 JargonExtension
Created and installed the JargonExtension in order to complete Category:Jargon and insert all entries from the JargonFile. Now inserting   into a new page is all it takes to create a new jargon entry page. It's a task for all now to add them ;) mutante 16:24, 28 October 2007 (CET)

2007-10-05 AntiSpam / MathCaptcha
To stop the latest spam wave and for testing purposes i installed ConfirmEdit extension aka. "MathCaptcha" by Brion. I configured it differently from the default though, to not harrass logged in users, but only IP edits. It will also be used on account creation. Please report any problems with it.

I also blocked clients with blank UserAgent in Apache config as described in.

2007-09-23 LaTeX export and stuff
By request of Veyron: Installed Wiki2LaTeX extension. Notice the new LaTeX link tab next to the edit link.

2007-06-02 fix index.php protection, speed up wiki with eacclerator
As you may have noticed, since the last Mediawiki upgrade all those spammer page titles including "index.php" appeared again. Due to a change in MW the self made protection against those broke and needed a little fix. Now those pages cannot be created anymore (again).

Also, i installed eAccelerator recently, which caches PHP opcode and can speed up reloading of Wiki pages dramatically. .. And we are about to move to a server with more RAM, too... So you should experience a faster S23 wiki.

2007-05-20 Mediawiki 1.10.0 branch
Upgraded to Mediawiki 1.10.0 branch release

2007-05-01 Categorized Recent changes
set $wgAllowCategorizedRecentChanges = true in LocalSettings.php. You can now limit the RecentChanges to category or multiple categories seperated by |. See. Example:.

2007-04-27 more icons in edit mode
Copied some parts of the javascript at en-wp:MediaWiki:Common.js to MediaWiki:Common.js. This enables more icons in the edit toolbar, like "Insert a table", "Insert a picture gallery" etc, as you might have already noticed. If not, be aware that you can enable/disable quite a few javascript features of Mediawiki in your user preferences if you wish. If enabled they also make the RC look better. mutante 18:39, 29 April 2007 (CEST)

2007-04-22 - my tasks, my feeds
Added "My tasks" (requested on Wikistats/ToDo, Task Extension) and "My feeds" (Special:Wikifeeds) links to personal toolbar.

Edited ./includes/SkinTemplate.php ~ line 523.

 # "My Tasks" $href = self::makeSpecialUrl( 'Tasks' ); $personal_urls['mytasks'] = array(                               'text' => wfMsg( 'mytasks' ),                                'href' => $href."/owner=".$this->username,                                'active' => ( $href == $pageurl )                        ); # "My Feeds" $href = self::makeSpecialUrl( 'Wikifeeds' ); $personal_urls['myfeeds'] = array(                               'text' => wfMsg( 'myfeeds' ),                                'href' => $href."/atom/watchlist/user/".$this->username."/count/10",                                'active' => ( $href == $pageurl )                        ); # end s23 

the pages MediaWiki:Mytasks and MediaWiki:Myfeeds contain the link description.

Fixed broken Calendar page. calendar extension => v1.13.

2007-04-09 - debian 4.0
As of last night Debian 4.0 (etch) is now stable! Major upgrades to many packages, including PHP5 and MySQL5 without needing Dotdeb anymore. Small downtime of the webserver due to Apache2 and PHP module upgrades.

2007-03-12 - various extension updates
TaskExtenion fixes: "2006-10-10: Released version 0.52, fixed multiple tasks tags in the same page + clicking on a user show this user's tasks instead of the user personnal page"

2007-02-27 - WikiFeeds
Installed WikiFeeds. See Special:WikiFeeds for many new RSS feed options.

2007-02-28 - Automatic feed links in category pages
Now that WikiFeeds produces Feeds for all categories we wanted to also include a link to them into all category pages. Is now in effect via Template:CategoryRSS and Template_talk:CategoryRSS.

2007-02-22 - Mediawiki 1.9.3
Upgrade to 1.9.3 because of cross-site-scripting vulnerability. , (danke mattis)

2007-02-04 - Stricter Anti-Spam Regex
In the last weeks spam got annoying again. (Re-)enforced a stricter Anti-Spam Regex and will add more in reaction to spam. Please avoid false positives (if the spam filter ever keeps you from editing).

2007-01-24 - CategoryTree / Mediawiki 1.9.1
Today i installed CategoryTree extension. There is the new special page Special:CategoryTree which shows tree view of a given category and its subcategories. Also on each normal Category: page you can now click on little arrows next to subcategories to "expand" them. (as long as you have javascript enabled, cause this is using AJaX.)

Also upgraded Mediawiki from 1.9alpha (SVN) to 1.9.1 (stable).

2006-11-19 - GoogleMaps, Book links
reactivated new version of GoogleMaps extension, including Editor's Map,a graphical way to create map syntax. Unlike before you dont need to write the map code manually anymore. Click edit and find the new make map link on any page. Then create your map in preview, optionally add labels and just copy/paste the wiki code. Examples: Pyramid, Venedig, Berlin. (Syntax) ISBN links like f.e. on Books, now lead to new amazon.com and .de links including cover thumbnail pictures. f.e. 65753543557278919777522

2006-11-07 - fixed Flickr, updated phpFlickr
Fixed the Flickr Extension, updated phpFlickr to v2.0, installed php5-pear packages on Debian stable (via dotdeb).

2006-11-05 - Version 1.9 alpha
SVN upgrade to MediaWiki: 1.9alpha.

2006-11-04 - No more index.php page titles
By patching Title.php we now define page titles that end in 'index.php' as bad page titles to prevent some spam pages being created. It seems very unlikely that real users need those titles. We just had to give up w/index.php, but seems a very small sacrifice.

Title.php ~ line 1437 ,inside function secureAndSplit ...

if ( strstr ($t, 'index.php' ) ) { # Ends in index.php, spam protection, mutante 06/11/04 , thanks TimStarling return false; }

After the last Mediawiki upgrade to 1.10.0 i needed to change the code to:

if ( strstr ($this->mTextform, 'index.php' ) ) { return false; }

and i also moved it into function userCan (create).

mutante 14:03, 2 June 2007 (CEST)

2006-10-21 - No more dead links
Finally we have non-existing pages displaying links to search engines and other wikis again, like we had it way back then in UseMod-times. So that means S23:whatever page name you type as URL or link to, you never end up at a dead-end. The links on a non-existing page can be edited in MediaWiki:Noarticletext and Interwiki prefixes to search engines can be added on Special:Interwiki. Current task is to make the "iw_url" field in interwiki table larger which is currently set to "char(127)". A Metager link that i wanted to add here and would have been really useful, has 657(!) chars and doesnt fit in there currently. mutante 11:51, 21 October 2006 (CEST)

2006-10-08 - PHP5 / Mediawiki SVN
Finally upgraded to PHP5 which allowed us to also upgrade Mediawiki to SVN version.


 * 1)  MediaWiki: 1.8alpha
 * 2) PHP: 5.1.6-0.dotdeb.2 (apache2handler)
 * 3) MySQL: 4.1.11-Debian_4sarge5-log
 * 4) Extensions: ... Special:Version

Mediawiki Roadmap 1.8, Del.icio.us-style Tags for MediaWiki

2006-08-12 - still fixing, but faster again
Still fixing a lot of small glitches, but positive is that the wiki is finally not so slow anymore and should generally run more reliable now with less downtimes. mutante 19:09, 12 August 2006 (CEST)

Testing the IRC bot.

2006-08-06 - back online after wiped hd
back online after fresh server image because of damaged filesystem

2006-07-25 page title search
Page title search is not case-sensitive anymore and should return all pages ,like if you search "fnord" it returns "Fnord" "fnord" and also "FnOrd" etc because we only compare the LOWER case versions in MySQL. (at least this applies to the "all" mode which is default) e.g. fnord. I also linked the page into the navigation bar, so i hope this makes it easier to find already existing pages reliably.

2006-07-05 Yes, we are too slow
The main reason we are currently so slow is low memory and MySQL suffering from it. Some quotes i just want to dump for now:

"Keep in mind that Linux, like most modern operating systems, considers caching disk I/O an optional feature. It doesn't reserve any memory for it. So when free memory is low, MySQL can really suffer because MyISAM tables expect the OS to do some read caching.

''By adjusting how much memory MySQL uses, you can often realize significant performance improvements. To do that effectively, you first need to understand how MySQL uses memory. ''

< gleam_> decrease max connections, lower per connection buffers, lower query cache size, lower key_buffer/innodb_buffer_pool_size

''Tuning memory usage on MySQL servers can be a delicate balancing act. As explained earlier, MySQL has some global memory buffers in addition to a number of per-thread buffers. The trick is to balance the performance gains that come from having large global buffers against the need to service a particular number of concurrent users. ..''

min_memory_needed = global_buffers + (thread_buffers * max_connections)

2006-06-23 PHP syntax highlighting
You can now use   around pasted PHP source code to enable syntax highlighting. Syntax Highlighting Extension Beautifier.org

2006-06-22 ASCII Art extensions
Installed our ASCII Art Extensions 3-in-1 package for DrOwl. (Important! ;)

2006-06-19 figlet extyension version 0.2
we have installed wikiFiglet version 0.2 try &lt;figlet&gt;moo&lt;/figlet&gt;

2006-06-18 Mediawiki 1.6.7 / de translation
Upgraded to Mediawiki 1.6.7 Includes a Security fix and among others # (bug 6051) Improvement to German localisation (de)
 * 1) (bug 6017) Update bookstore list for German language (de)

Ãbersetzung
Ich habe die folgenden Ãbersetzungen zu ./languages/MessagesDe.php hinzugefÃ¼gt, so das unsere selbst hinzugefÃ¼gten Punkte in der Sidebar nun auch in deutsch angezeigt werden wenn ein User in seinen Preferences die Sprache auf Deutsch Ã¤ndert. Falls noch was fehlt oder jemand andere Sprachen ausser Deutsch und English verwendet bitte sagen.
 * 1) S23Wiki own additions

'calendar' => 'Kalender', 'all-categories' => 'Alle Kategorien', 'top-categories' => 'GrÃ¶sste Kategorien', 'uncat-pages' => 'Unkategorisierte Seiten', 'potdpage' => 'Seite des Tages', 'wantedpage' => 'GewÃ¼nschte Seiten', 'brokenlinks' => 'Kaputte Links', 'taskspage' => 'Aufgaben (ToDo)', 'popularpage' => 'Beliebte Seiten', 'sidebaredit' => 'Navigationsleiste Ã¤ndern', 'statspage' => 'Statistiken', 'blacklistpage' => 'Blockierte DomÃ¤nen', 'searchpage' => 'Suchseite'

2006-06-15 Blinken & Graph & Interwiki

 * 1) Installed Blinken Extension (BlinkenApplet) (by took)
 * 2) Finally updated & fixed Graph Extension (Graph-Easy) (by tels)
 * 3) Fixed and updated Special:Interwiki, a special page to manipulate the InterWiki table. (the "interwiki" flag is required to modify the interwiki table, this flag can be set in Special:Userrights by a bureaucrat.) The old Special:Interwiki created this error Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/w/includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 306 due to incompabilities with newer Mediawiki versions. Replaced the extension with this one which also works with 1.6.

2006-06-05 Statistics Graphs
I created some statistics graphs,using JpGraph. You can see them on

http://s23.org/wiki/Special:Statistics?action=graph

It should update automagically. Cronjob is reading the raw stats and the graph image is created from the saved data.

Fixed http://boinc23.org/graph.php

Upgrade to version 1.6.5
Upgraded Mediawiki to 1.6.5

2006-04-16 range blocks
Blocked a range of 255 hosts that was source of the lastest spam ("68.87.76.0/24") for testing range blocks.

2006-04-12 - "Jump to"-line CSS bug removed
Removed the annoying "Jump to: search navigation" line that was shown on top of each page due to a change in Monobook.php which made our custom skin incomtabile. I removed line 102 from MonoBook.php.

2006-04-12 - ManExtension
Installed the ManExtension, used on Gentoo Wiki. Works like a charm, see f.e ps and then look at its source, its simply ps, and it takes the input from manpages existing on our server and converts them to nice wiki pages. exactly what i was planning to do with man2html, but thrasher7 had it already done and released the source just today by request. Thanks for that. mutante 21:14, 12 April 2006 (CEST)

2006-04-09 - Update to 1.6.2
Updated Mediawiki to V.1.6.2.

More changes than usual. Switched to the new 1.6 branch.

2006-04-08 - Fixed UserStats
Fixed UserStats to also check in the new table ("revision"),and not only in the outdated ("cur").

2006-04-08 - Fixed RSS feed
Fixed the RSSfeed. But we still dont really want "diffs" in there. mutante 04:56, 8 April 2006 (CEST)

2006-04-02 - Update to 1.5.8
Updated Mediawiki to V.1.5.8 (security reasons once again)

2006-03-24 - Upper / lowercase page names
I activated the option:

$wgCapitalLinks = false;

which allows to create pages starting with lowercase letters now. The wiki will NOT automatically convert page names anymore. This allows pages like df to have their correct names, but it also means now, for example Template:Manpage and Template:manpage are not the same anymore. You have more freedom to pick page titles but you also have to watch out when creating your links. I also think this caused a few broken links around the wiki that would need fixing, tell me if you want this option to stay on or not. mutante 08:32, 24 March 2006 (CET)

2006-02-28 - Ads
Forgive me for adding a few google ads. Need some way to finance currently. Any earnings will help paying the wiki server or getting a better one. I hope they dont interfere with your use of the wiki in any way and if you find an ad interesting cause they are targeted to the content you might even click. mutante 03:52, 1 March 2006 (CET)

2006-02-26 - InputBox extension
Installed Inputbox extension. In use on the Main Page. Tried to also use it on Forum, but it always adds to the bottom of a page.

2006-02-24 - -support
Enabled TeX, you can now use tags to create nice looking formulas. See Talk:MatheGruppen.

2006-01-21 - google maps
You can now insert maps on wiki pages.

2006-01-17 - spam updates
update, 01/21, spam filter effectively blocks now

spam hiding with div overflow
cant we do something about the style overflow hiding trick?  mutante: yep, all wiki got that in last hours

delete page but still protect ?
hmm, i would like to delete a page and at the same time protect it :p to keep the spammer from recreating it < Sasa^Stefanovic> mutante: make a redirect to some page and than protect it < Sasa^Stefanovic> lets say Project:Protected from vandalism and lock that page too ah,sounds good...

SpamBlacklist broken ?
Apparently the SpamBlacklists still lets me post mp3.com. Still unreliable in general or caused by recent upgrade, or by using multiple blacklists (local and wikipedia)?

2006-01-16 - Mediawiki 1.5.5 upgrade
Upgraded mediawiki to 1.5.5 due to security risks (Windows Metafile vulnerability). Thanks for another advice to Mangala.

2005-12-25

2005-10-17 Finally upgraded to Mediawiki 1.5 stable
The database upgrade (major db scheme change) seems to have worked smoothly. Now we just need to hack the customizations back in place and learn about all the new features. Looking forward to content based spam control. Also we dont have to be scared of this one anymore:

Versions prior to 1.3.16 and 1.4.10 have a serious data corruption bug which is triggered by a spambot known to operate in the wild.

mutante 20:56, 17 October 2005 (CEST)

We have to fix the CSS once again, customization was not as easy to hack in again as expected due to CSS changes. Aware of the bugs in the navigation menu. Working on it as soon as time avail. mutante 01:57, 19 October 2005 (CEST)

2005-06-27 got rid of index.php
Weee! We finally have the short URLs without "index.php" working. And old long URLs are also still working ;) We didnt use mod_rewrite but just the "alias" method in apache config and had to move the wiki dir from "wiki" to "w" and then adjust wgScriptPath and $IP in LocalSettings.php. Then added aliases to httpd.conf as described here. After a little help from Duesentrieb it worked, joy :) mutante 01:05, 27 Jun 2005 (CEST)

and we even caused: (note to self: change default LocalSettings.php to $IP = dirname(__FILE__) ...)

,so there should be only one variable to adjust in the future instead of two.

Webcam Integration / Mass file upload
actually i would like to let a few shell users (mass)-upload files via scp or ftp,because uploading one by one via webinterface is a lot more work, but then i would need to "emulate" the web upload function to make them still appear like normal wiki file uploads

making a command-line script like 'wikiupload.php ~/image.jpg' which makes the image appear in the Wiki exactly like if it was uploaded via the regular web upload ,sounds possible?

< brion_> mutante, sure if you like < brion_> see existing scripts in maintenance/ and the code run by SpecialUpload.php to log uploads

thanks,will do will try to upload with a cronjob then, integrating my webcam to my userpage..

2005-06-17
I made a fresh backup to my homeserver (wiki directory & sqldump). File sizes are getting bigger, means the wiki is growing quickly ;). Finn, if you want you can also download the backup from my homeserver later, to be even safer. greets, mutante 01:13, 18 Jun 2005 (CEST)

MattisManzel 14:13 (CEST)

I wonder it we shouldn't fold current events into forum, rename forum to wiki-forum (WikiForum) as ist leads to confusions on wikis having a an online forum attached and rename current events in the navigation bar into wiki-forum. Same with community portal and wiki-node. I'm testing leading signing here removing the date btw.
