Help:Enhanced recent changes

The preferences can be set to use the Enhanced Recent Changes feature (not for all browsers) instead of the classical Recent Changes. It groups recent changes per day by article, displays the titles of the changed articles in order from new to old latest change, or in the case of hiding minor edits, latest major change (send ideas for improvement to Magnus Manske, the author of this feature).

Multiple edits on the same day to a single article are grouped together on the Recent Changes screen. All the edits except for the most recent one are hidden, but can be revealed by clicking on the blue arrow next to the article. This option uses JavaScript, and won't work in every browser (see Browser issues with MediaWiki).

This feature applies also to Related changes, but not to the watchlist.

Composition of lines
(For the pages Wikipedia:Upload log, the corresponding pages on Wiktionary and Wikibooks, and perhaps a few more pages some links are not present).

Pages for which there is only one edit
The line shows:
 * time (the date is not shown here, it is in a header)
 * page name linked to the current version
 * the link cur to the edit concerned, e.g. http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Election_results_2005&curid=19333&diff=178548&oldid=178465
 * hist linking to the page history
 * user, linked to his or her user page
 * Talk, linking to the user talk page
 * edit summary

Pages for which there are multiple edits
The top line, which is the only one shown before clicking on the arrow, shows:
 * time
 * page name linked to the current version
 * number of edits during the day concerned (if it is the oldest day covered by this Enhanced Recent Changes page: restricted by the total number of edits covered by this page)
 * the link changes to the cumulation of these changes
 * Link Page history
 * the users, linked to their user pages

The lines per edit show:
 * time, linked to the page version created at this time
 * the link cur to this edit
 * the link last to this edit
 * user, linked to his or her user page
 * Talk, linking to the user talk page
 * edit summary

Examples
The default recent changes looks like this:
 * (diff) (hist) . . MediaWiki User's Guide: Editing mathematical formulae; 10:06 . . 111.222.33.44 (Talk) (Add examples)
 * (diff) (hist) . . M MediaWiki User's Guide: Editing mathematical formulae; 10:04 . . Anthere (Talk) (links)
 * (diff) (hist) . . N MediaWiki User's Guide; 10:04 . . Brion VIBBER (Talk) (New page)
 * (diff) (hist) . . Endnotes moved to Footnotes; 10:03 . . Maveric149 (Talk)

Enhanced recent changes shows changes to one page on the same line, with an arrow next to it:

10:06 MediaWiki User's Guide: Editing mathematical formulae (2 changes; Page history)  [ 111.222.33.44; Anthere ] N. 10:04 MediaWiki User's Guide (cur; hist). . Brion VIBBER (Talk) (New page)  .. 10:03 Endnotes moved to Footnotes (cur; hist). . Maveric149 (Talk)

Clicking this arrow expands the entry so you can see all the changes made:

10:06 MediaWiki User's Guide: Editing mathematical formulae (2 changes; Page history)  [ 111.222.33.44; Anthere ] . . . . . . 10:06</tt> (cur; last). . 111.222.33.44 (Talk) (Add examples) . . .. . <tt>M</tt> <tt>10:04</tt> (cur; last). . Anthere (Talk) (links) <tt>N</tt>  <tt>10:04</tt> MediaWiki User's Guide (cur; hist). . Brion VIBBER (Talk) (New page)  .. <tt>10:03</tt> Endnotes moved to Footnotes (cur; hist). . Maveric149 (Talk)

Common installation error
In projects outside Wikimedia it may happen that during installation one forgets (or perhaps it is missing in the installation instructions?) to copy three little image files:

http://www.wikipedia.org/upload/Arr_r.png http://www.wikipedia.org/upload/Arr_r.png

http://www.wikipedia.org/upload/Arr_d.png http://www.wikipedia.org/upload/Arr_d.png

http://www.wikipedia.org/upload/Arr_.png http://www.wikipedia.org/upload/Arr_.png (blank)

to the corresponding directory. As a result the enhanced Recent Changes are more cumbersome to use.

Help:Export

Wiki pages can be exported in a special XML format to import into another MediaWiki installation or use it elsewise for instance for analysing the content. See also Syndication feeds for exporting other information but pages and Help:Import on importing pages.

How to export
There are at least four ways to export pages:

 * Paste the name of the articles in the box in Special:Export or use the URL /wiki/Special:Export/article's_name. You can get a list of all page names (in a specified namespace) at Special:Allpages.
 * The backup script dumpBackup.php dumps all the wiki pages into an XML file. dumpBackup.php only works on MediaWiki 1.5 or newer. You need to have direct access to the server to run this script. Dumps of mediawiki projects are (more or less) regularly made available at http://download.wikipedia.org.
 * There is a OAI-PMH-interface to regularly fetch pages that have been modified since a specific time. For wikimedia projects this interface is not publically available. OAI-PMH contains a wrapper format around the actual exported articles.
 * Use the Python Wikipedia Robot Framework. This won't be explained here.

By default only the current version of a page is included. Optionally you can get all versions with date, time, user name and edit summary.

Additionally you can copy the SQL database. This is how dumps of the database were made available before MediaWiki 1.5 and it won't be explained here further.

Exporting all pages of a namespace
To export all pages of a namespace using the first method mentioned above:
 * use Special:Allpages
 * copy the result to an editor
 * put all names on separate lines
 * in the case of another than the main namespace: insert the namespace prefix before all names
 * apply Special:Export

Export format
The format of the XML file you receive is the same in all ways. It is codified in XML Schema at http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3.xsd This format is not intended for viewing in a web browser. Some browsers show you pretty-printed XML with "+" and "-" links to view or hide selected parts. Alternatively the XML-source can be viewed using the "view source" feature of the browser, or after saving the XML file locally, with a program of choice. It you directly read the XML source it won't be difficult to find the actual wikitext. If you don't use a special XML editor "<" and ">" appear as &lt; and &gt;, to avoid a conflict with XML tags; to avoid ambiguity, "&" is coded as "&amp;".

In the current version the export format does not contain an XML replacement of wiki markup (see Wikipedia DTD for an older proposal). You only get the wikitext as you get when editing the article.

Example
 Page title sysop 2001-01-15T13:15:00Z Foobar I have just one thing to say! A bunch of text here. 2001-01-15T13:10:27Z 10.0.0.2 new! An earlier revision. Talk:Page title 2001-01-15T14:03:00Z 10.0.0.2 hey WHYD YOU LOCK PAGE??!!! i was editing that jerk

DTD
Here is an unofficial, short Document Type Definition version of the format. If you don't know what a DTD is just ignore it.

<!ELEMENT mediawiki (siteinfo,page*)>

<!ATTLIST mediawiki version CDATA  #REQUIRED xmlns CDATA #FIXED "http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3/" xmlns:xsi CDATA #FIXED "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation CDATA #FIXED "http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3/ http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.3.xsd" > <!ELEMENT siteinfo (sitename,base,generator,case,namespaces)> <!ELEMENT sitename (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT base (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT generator (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT case (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT namespaces (namespace+)> <!ELEMENT namespace (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST namespace key CDATA #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT page (title,id?,restrictions?,(revision|upload)*)> <!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT id (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT restrictions (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT revision (id?,timestamp,contributor,minor?,comment,text)> <!ELEMENT timestamp (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT minor EMPTY> <!ELEMENT comment (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT text (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST text xml:space CDATA #FIXED "preserve"> <!ELEMENT contributor ((username,id) | ip)> <!ELEMENT username (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT ip (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT upload (timestamp,contributor,comment?,filename,src,size)> <!ELEMENT filename (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT src (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT size (#PCDATA)>

Processing XML export
There are undoubtedly many tools which can process the exported XML. If you process a large number of pages (for instance a whole dump) you probably won't be able to get the document in main memory so you will need a parser based on SAX or other event-driven methods.

You can also just use regular expressions to directly process parts of the XML code. This may be faster than other methods but not recommended because it's difficult to maintain.

Please list methods and tools for processing XML export here:

 * Parse::MediaWikiDump is a perl module for processing the XML dump file.
 * Processing MediaWiki XML with STX - Stream based XML transformation
 * The IBM History flow project can read it after applying a small Python program, export-historyflow-expand.py.

Details and practical advise
/mediawiki/siteinfo/namespaces/namespace
 * To determine the namespace of a page you have to match its title to the prefixed defined in
 * Possible restrictions are
 * sysop (protected pages)

Help:External editors

Other language(s): français | español | português

'''MediaWiki 1.5 required. Please also make sure you are using the latest version of the script if it is not working as expected.'''

The MediaWiki software allows you to edit any resource using any external tool. This is accomplished using a very simple system:

 * 1) When a resource is requested for being edited externally, MediaWiki sends out a control file that contains information about the resource; most importantly, its network location (URL) and the interface that is to be used for changing it.
 * 2) The user has to configure their browser so that the MIME type application/x-external-editor is associated with a special helper application.
 * 3) That helper application processes the control file, retrieves the resource, launches the favored application to edit it, and, if desired, saves the resource back to the server.

Examples of External Editor in use:

Helper application
There is a reference implementation for the helper application called "ee.pl" (available here, see README for usage and INSTALL for setup instructions). It is written in Perl and may be difficult to set up. However, it provides a complete set of features and a graphical user interface. Developers are welcome to write a more user friendly implementation, see Help:External editors/Tech for the specifications.

Note that the ee.pl GUI makes it very easy to save the data back to the server, including an edit summary, or to cancel the edit. You can also make multiple edits on the server by using the "Save and continue" button.

Configuring ee.pl
For each wiki you want to use ee.pl with, add an entry like this to ee.ini:

[] URL match= Username=(Michael) Password=(Jackson)

This is necessary so ee.pl can log in -- it does not know your password otherwise! Note that if you are active on many wikis, such as multiple Wikipedia languages editions, and you use the same username and password, you can simply use something like "wikipedia.org" or "wikimedia.org" with this authentication information as the URL match pattern (or indeed ".org" if you only intend to access these sites). An example generic entry:

[Generic] URL match=.org Username=WikiPedia Password=WikiMedia

Bookmarklet for text editing
You can invoke the external editor by using the following bookmarklet:

Create a new bookmark/favorite in your browser and copy this into the field where you would normally write the URL of a webpage you want to visit. Visit the bookmark/favorite whenever you want to use the external editor. Note that this requires the external editor tool to be set up as described above!

Help:Formula

MediaWiki and TeX
MediaWiki uses a subset of TeX markup (including some extensions from LaTeX and AMSLaTeX) for mathematical formulae. It generates either PNG images or simple HTML markup, depending on user preferences and the complexity of the expression. In the future, as more browsers are smarter, it will be able to generate enhanced HTML or even MathML in many cases.

More precisely, MediaWiki filters the markup through Texvc, which in turn passes the commands to TeX for the actual rendering. Thus, only a limited part of the full TeX language is supported; see below for details.

Syntax
Math markup goes inside. The edit toolbar has a button for this.

Similarly to HTML, in TeX extra spaces and newlines are ignored.

MediaWiki templates, variables and parameters cannot be used within math tags, see m:Template talk:Demo of attempt to use parameters within TeX.

Rendering
The PNG images are black on white (not transparent). These colors, as well as font sizes and types, are independent of browser settings or CSS. Font sizes and types will often deviate from what HTML renders. Vertical alignment with the surrounding text can also be a problem. The css selector of the images is img.tex.

It should be pointed out that most of these shortcomings have been addressed by Maynard Handley, but have not been released yet.

The  attribute of the PNG images (the text that is displayed if your browser can't display images; Internet Explorer shows it up in the hover box) is the wikitext that produced them, excluding the   and.

Apart from function and operator names, as is customary in mathematics for variables, letters are in italics; digits are not. For other text, (like variable labels) to avoid being rendered in italics like variables, use  or. For example,   gives $$\mbox{abc}$$.

TeX vs HTML
Before introducing TeX markup for producing special characters, it should be noted that, as this comparison table shows, sometimes similar results can be achieved in HTML (see Help:Special characters).

The use of HTML in stead of TeX is still under discussion. The arguments either way can be summarised as follows.

Pros of HTML

 * 1) In-line HTML formulae always align properly with the rest of the HTML text.
 * 2) The formula's background, font size and face match the rest of HTML contents and the appearence respects CSS and browser settings.

Pros of TeX

 * 1) TeX is semantically superior to HTML. In TeX, " " means "mathematical variable $$x$$", whereas in HTML " " could mean anything. Information has irremediably been lost.
 * 2) TeX has been specifically designed for typesetting formulae, so input is easier and more natural, and output is more aesthetically pleasing. Also anybody who has written mathematics at a professional level is already familiar with TeX.
 * 3) One consequence of point 1 is that TeX can be transformed in HTML, but not vice-versa. This means that on the server side we can always transform a formula, based on its complexity and location within the text, user preferences, type of browser, etc. Therefore, where possible, all the benefits of HTML can be retained, together with the benefits of TeX. It's true that the current situation is not ideal, but that's not a good reason to drop information/contents. It's more a reason to help improve the situation.
 * 4) When writing in TeX, editors need not worry about whether this or that version of this or that browser supports this or that HTML entity. The burden of these decisions is put on the server. This doesn't hold for HTML formulae, which can easily end up being rendered wrongly or differently from the editor's intentions on a different browser.

Parenthesizing big expressions, brackets, bars
You can use various delimiters with \left and \right:

Spacing
Note that TeX handles most spacing automatically, but you may sometimes want manual control.

Align with normal text flow
Due to the default css

img.tex { vertical-align: middle; }

an inline expression like $$\int_{-N}^{N} e^x\, dx$$ should look good.

If you need to align it otherwise, use  $$...$$  and play with the vertical-align argument until you get it right; however, how it looks may depend on the browser and the browser settings.

Also note that if you rely on this workaround, if/when the rendering on the server gets fixed in future releases, as a result of this extra manual offset your formulae will suddenly be aligned incorrectly. So use it sparingly, if at all.

Forced PNG rendering
To force the formula to render as PNG, add \, (small space) at the end of the formula (where it is not rendered). This will force PNG if the user is in "HTML if simple" mode, but not for "HTML if possible" mode (math rendering settings in preferences).

You can also use \,\! (small space and negative space, which cancel out) anywhere inside the math tags. This does force PNG even in "HTML if possible" mode, unlike \,.

This could be useful to keep the rendering of formulae in a proof consistent, for example, or to fix formulae that render incorrectly in HTML (at one time, a^{2+2} rendered with an extra underscore), or to demonstrate how something is rendered when it would normally show up as HTML (as in the examples above).

For instance:

This has been tested with most of the formulae on this page, and seems to work perfectly.

You might want to include a comment in the HTML so people don't "correct" the formula by removing it:

Quadratic Polynomial
$$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$ $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$

Quadratic Polynomial (Force PNG Rendering)
$$ax^2 + bx + c = 0\,$$ $$ax^2 + bx + c = 0\,$$

Quadratic Formula
$$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$ $$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$

Tall Parentheses and Fractions
$$2 = \left( \frac{\left(3-x\right) \times 2}{3-x} \right)$$ $$2 = \left( \frac{\left(3-x\right) \times 2}{3-x} \right)$$

Integrals
$$\int_a^x \int_a^s f(y)\,dy\,ds = \int_a^x f(y)(x-y)\,dy$$ $$\int_a^x \int_a^s f(y)\,dy\,ds = \int_a^x f(y)(x-y)\,dy$$

Summation
$$\sum_{m=1}^\infty\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{m^2\,n}{3^m\left(m\,3^n+n\,3^m\right)}$$ $$\sum_{m=1}^\infty\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{m^2\,n} {3^m\left(m\,3^n+n\,3^m\right)}$$

Differential Equation
$$u'' + p(x)u' + q(x)u=f(x),\quad x>a$$ $$u'' + p(x)u' + q(x)u=f(x),\quad x>a$$

Complex numbers
$$|\bar{z}| = |z|, |(\bar{z})^n| = |z|^n, \arg(z^n) = n \arg(z)\,$$ $$|\bar{z}| = |z|, |(\bar{z})^n| = |z|^n, \arg(z^n) = n \arg(z)\,$$

Limits
$$\lim_{z\rightarrow z_0} f(z)=f(z_0)\,$$ $$\lim_{z\rightarrow z_0} f(z)=f(z_0)\,$$

Integral Equation
$$\phi_n(\kappa) = \frac{1}{4\pi^2\kappa^2} \int_0^\infty \frac{\sin(\kappa R)}{\kappa R} \frac{\partial}{\partial R}\left[R^2\frac{\partial D_n(R)}{\partial R}\right]\,dR$$ $$\phi_n(\kappa) = \frac{1}{4\pi^2\kappa^2} \int_0^\infty \frac{\sin(\kappa R)}{\kappa R} \frac{\partial}{\partial R}\left[R^2\frac{\partial D_n(R)}{\partial R}\right]\,dR$$

Example
$$\phi_n(\kappa) = 0.033C_n^2\kappa^{-11/3},\quad \frac{1}{L_0}\ll\kappa\ll\frac{1}{l_0}\,$$ $$\phi_n(\kappa) = 0.033C_n^2\kappa^{-11/3},\quad \frac{1}{L_0}\ll\kappa\ll\frac{1}{l_0}\,$$

Continuation and cases
$$f(x) = \begin{cases}1 & -1 \le x < 0\\ \frac{1}{2} & x = 0\\x&0<x\le 1\end{cases}$$ f(x) = \begin{cases}1 & -1 \le x < 0\\ \frac{1}{2} & x = 0\\x&0<x\le 1\end{cases}

Prefixed subscript
$${}_pF_q(a_1,...,a_p;c_1,...,c_q;z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(a_1)_n\cdot\cdot\cdot(a_p)_n}{(c_1)_n\cdot\cdot\cdot(c_q)_n}\frac{z^n}{n!}\,$$ $${}_pF_q(a_1,...,a_p;c_1,...,c_q;z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(a_1)_n\cdot\cdot\cdot(a_p)_n}{(c_1)_n\cdot\cdot\cdot(c_q)_n}\frac{z^n}{n!}\,$$
