There is a problem with pages with russian names. Conan 03:59, 17 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * I noticed something too. Am I correct in guessing that the work recently done on the website included updating support for Unicode? At first I noticed a small bug: certain Hebrew characters, even in page names, no longer appeared correctly. In fact, those pages were no longer in their correct locations. On the other hand, there was no problem typing in corrections (though the bug still appears in system messages). And then I began to notice that certain high-end unicode fonts (not Hebrew, see the Norwegian page) that didn't appear correctly before - do appear correctly now! Strange but nice!

 * I've no idea why this would have happened. I've reported it as bug 90. Angela 12:20, 17 Mar 2005 (EST)

audio and language codes
Hi Angela! You said to contact you if we needed anything larger regarding audio uploads. Most of our files are small snippets and have been well under 2M. But occassionaly you get a really long reading, like this week (nearly 10 minutes long), which came out to 3.6M. Would it be possible to lift the upper limit to 5M like on Wikipedia? In any case, the vast majority of the recordings are on the lower end of the scale.

I will get back to you regarding the language file you sent in the near future. Zabek 07:27, 17 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * It is possible, but I can't log into the new servers, so I can't do it immediately. 5mb uploads should be enabled within the next day or so though. Angela 12:20, 17 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * The upload limit is now 5mb on all wikis. Angela

hendersonville (NC) wiki
Hi Angela. I submitted a request for a "Hendersonville Hipsters" wiki for Hendersonville NC and environs over the weekend. I was aware of the WNC Wiki, but thought that was just for business stuff. It appears that it's scope is much broader, so I've set up a Hendersonville section there. I withdraw my specific request.


 * Ok, that sounds a good option.

I wonder if it would be possible to set up a separate email list for this specific purpose anyhow? Let me know if Wikicities can do that and what I should to do get it going. Thanks so much! --Thomas 00:56, 21 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * I think you could use the existing wnc list for this. It isn't being used for anything else at the moment. If other people on that wiki start to think the list is too dominated by Hendersonville stuff, we could split the lists at a later date. Angela 00:50, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * I'm pretty sure that there are plans for that list. That is, Trevor and I have specific plans for that list.  I'll talk to him and see what his current thinking is, however.  Maybe we can blend the two purposes.  Thanks!  --Thomas 09:18, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)

Editing the interface
Hello Angela. I would like to know how I can edit the interface (MediaWiki) of the variants zh-cn, zh-hk, etc? I have tried to do so, but I could only modify those of the the zh variant, but not the other four.


 * The easiest way is to change your preferences to be one of those language variants, then go to Special:Allmessages and the links should point to the right version. The other way is to add the language code after the page title, so to edit the zh-ch version of MediaWiki:Mainpage, you can go to MediaWiki:Mainpage.js/zh-cn. Angela 00:50, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)

And by the way how can I set the time zone in my signature? CantoneseWiki 11:15, 22 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * You can't. These are were all set to UTC by default so everyone used the same time, and you could follow conversations more easily. This seems to have changed to EST since the new servers though. I'll try to get it back to UTC since more people are likely to know what that means than what time EST is. Angela 00:50, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)

Thanks a lot Angela. -- CantoneseWiki 01:52, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)

G'day
G'day Angela

thanks for the welcome, and it looks like an awesome project.

I'm not exactly comfortable with the proliferation of user talk pages 'though... I already have two to watch here, and AFAIK if someone creates a user page or user talk page or subpage in "my" address space, I won't even know about it. That's an existing chronic problem with MediaWiki, not just with Wikicities, but having a new user namespace and user talk namespace for each Wikicity makes it that much worse.

See how it goes I guess.
