Is the system going to start counting accesses again soon, please? -- isis 07:16 Jan 26, 2003 (UTC)

It seems that LDC "lcrocker" has been inactive for months. I made a patch on sourceforge, and given this, I doubt he will get to it...

Hi Brion, is there a way to link a small image to a big one ? Ericd

The cleanest way is to include an explicit text link to the big image, with [[media: instead of [[image:, and call it 'click fo rbigger image' or 'magnify' or 'expand' or what have you. You could also put the big image into the description page of the small image (so clicking the small image itself shows the big image), but present consensus is against it. (One admitted problem is that if the big image is really big, it still doesn't fit well into the wiki page.) --Brion 00:26 Jan 27, 2003 (UTC)

Salut Brion! I had some days "off" and used the time to learn more about what I am actully doing. Put up some 4 wikis and learned more. Fun, thanks!

Reg Swedish Wikipedia:

  1. When I search on Google for some words Google points to "old" sv.wikipedia.com articles, which are impossible to edit, and doesnt lead to the the new site. Is this OK? (only temporarily or a permanent problem?
  2. Is there a possibilty to have lets say the 4-5 largets wikiedias Recent changes as language links on the recent changes page?

Glad to hear you're doing well, Dan!
Oops, the DNS records need to be updated to point the .com address to the new server; that must have fallen through the cracks. I'll go bug Jason about it. And yes, interlanguage links on the recentchanges are a good idea -- right now I there's something funny about interpretation of lang links on special pages that would keep it from working in the normal way, but we can slip in some links into the intro text (like on meta). --Brion 19:23 Jan 27, 2003 (UTC)

I noticed the Danes has removed their lan links on RecentChanges. By the way, why did the dot com articles turn up upon request with googles, it seems like UseMod were playing better with Google, may that be? (and now when I checked, I see theres no meta keyword or description in th head:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html><head><title>Stockholm bloodbath - Wikipedia</title> <meta name="robots" content="index,follow"> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">

How come? I think even that "simple" chiq-chaq has automatically $title implemented in the meta keywords. Has something happened which i dont know? Isnt description and keywords used anymore to attract search engines? Enlighten me, poor soul since I now had ants in my head... A wikipedia must be supposed to seriously brabe search engines like Google, or? The .org files comes several pages after the .com, Tryit if you can find living pages on the old server?

- Sorry, problem again, please forget my Q! here comes the sun, what did you do with your page it looks much better, thanks for checking those files in kosmos  :) Dan Koehl 03:19 Jan 28, 2003 (UTC)

Well, the new server is only partially indexed on Google because about a month or so ago I goofed up with the robots.txt file and accidentally forbid bots from indexing articles; in early January we got re-spidered and previously indexed articles got dropped from Google. (*cough* *cough*) It's been corrected, and we've been at least partially reindexed since. The rest should continue to fill in over time... As far as meta keywords -- I know we used to do include the title and I think links as meta keywords on the phase 2 software; this may have gotten accidentally (or intentionally by LDC) left out of phase 3. We should see about getting that back! --Brion 03:28 Jan 28, 2003 (UTC)

Do you get the new messages link properly? --Eloquence 21:57 Jan 28, 2003 (UTC)

Yes, lovely!

Brion, would you delete User:Anthere/ToImprove please ?

Will do...
Looks like Eloquence beat me to it!

And User:Anthere/Discussion language non sexiste which doesnot exist anyway ?

Comme tu veux. --Brion 22:28 Jan 28, 2003 (UTC)

Et User talk:Anthere/utilisateur...

voire User:Anthere/Emberiza hortulana L.

Seulement voire, ou voire et supprimer? ;)
sorry, voir and voire are different words. Voir is a verb and means "to see", voire is adverb and means "and also"

I think its you(if i remember correctly)that i contact about the map of Europe used in Eu member map, is it possible for you to adapt it to show the EFTA member and former member countries? -fonzy

I'll take a look at it.

Ok i filled in the colours myself, but did nto do the text as its betteer if you do that. I saved it as a bmp file and zipped it up hwo shall i apss it on to you?

Afterthought, could you undelete User:Anthere/Discussion language non sexiste? Sorry.

Fait.

Brion, please update to CVS; there was a small bug which caused 'newpagetext' to be shown on every edit (missing parentheses). --Eloquence 00:12 Jan 29, 2003 (UTC)

Done.

Thanks, I'm not so good with tables. ... Also, I notice that Recent Changes has been improved again, as well as the "new page" editing process. Nice work!  :-) Koyaanis Qatsi
