Extensions

 * TitleKey so searching for "mantle of intelligence" will take you to the page "Mantle of Intelligence". --Kroocsiogsi 06:57, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

[22:37]  I'm confused about the search box, and how it works with capitalization. If I search www.dota2wiki.com for "mantle of intelligence", I do NOT end up at the page "Mantle of Intelligence". If I search en.wikipedia.org for "battle of britain house", I DO end up at "Battle of Britain House". Why? [22:38]  Is there a MediaWiki setting or extension that causes that to happen? [22:38] Wikipedia uses an extension that corrects this [22:38]  What is the extension called? [22:38]  It's not part of MWSearch, is it? [22:39] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TitleKey [22:39]  Thank you kindly, sir or madam. [22:39] you're welcome  :) [22:40]  I read the description "For the average site administrator, the benefit of this extension is that it allows search suggestions (enabled through $wgEnableMWSuggest) to be case-insensitive." [22:40]  And thought it only helped search suggestions. I didn't know it actually caused the "redirect" to work. [22:43] yeah - I can see how that would be confusing - but so far as I know and have experienced - it works  :) [22:43] it's magical

Merging of zh-hans and zh-hant into zh and use of Language converter

 * Conversation at #mediawiki-i18n:

i have a question on the translation between simplified and traditional chinese zh.wikipedia uses can someone enlighten me on which extension it uses?zh.wikipedia uses  that's the language converter any links?  not a "translation" yea the language converter is it an extension?  no  http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/LanguageConverter.php how to activate it?  http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/languages/classes/LanguageZh.php?view=markup  you don't need to activate it  it's directly used when in Chinese language uh how if i want to activate it in a multi language wiki? like only in .../zh/* pages  you mean, create an alias to set the variant err that means? yea sth like that create a /zh on the chinese variant and want only those pages use the language converter is that even possible?  the alias themselves are added with Alias /zh /usr/local/apache/common/docroot/wikipedia.org/w/index.php <Platonides> but there must be another bit taking the variant from the path <Platonides> otherwise, you could have a rewrite rule adding ?variant=zh-whatever On another note, the majority of the content now is in zh-hant and I have transferred all the contents in zh-hans to zh-hant.

Fulfilled requests

 * ConfirmEdit - captcha to keep the bots away. I guess setting it up to use re-captcha (see this) would be sufficient. RJackson 20:55, 8 September 2011 (CDT)
 * No longer necessary thanks to Abuse Filters. - RJ 23:25, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Extension:ImageMap for clickable regions in images
 * Enable $wgAllowDisplayTitle in LocalSettings.php (I think) - that way translated pages can have their titles be the localised string for whatever they're documenting, instead of "Wafflesauce/es".
