This page is dedicated to talk about administration of Anarchopedia.

Languages and name space

This is email to Guanaco, one of two admins of Anarchopedia. If anyone has some idea about this question, please, say it here. --Millosh 15:45, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 Subject: Name space, different languages

 It seems that we should work according to interwiki standard. But, we
 should find some way to have one community, not divided into
 languages.

 I am trying to make script for opening Anarchopedia in other languages
 (in this moment you can find start of my work in
 /srv/www/virtual/org.anarchopedia/langs). It is not so hard to make
 script for creation virtual hosts and copying contents of one blank
 Anarchopedia to some place. But, we need to find how can all
 Anarchopedias ask for users at the same place. Maybe, we should test
 it with en.anarchopedia.org?

 I'll copy this mail into Anarchopedia:en:administration. (Let's
 talk there.) Maybe you have some better idea?

I think that, at least for now, we should keep everything in one wiki. We only have ~200 articles and 3-5 active contributors. Wikis can easily become nothing more than farms for linkspammers if no one is around to monitor them. We should consider this once we become larger and more popular. Guanaco 02:29, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

OK, but we should have some way for migration in the future... With keeping all of linked pages from outside. --Millosh 13:53, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

One more question: I think it is reasonable to open only few Anarchopedias in different language (Spanish, French, Italian...). And if someone wants to work in other language, (s)he would need to ask at some page here. What do you and others think about that? --Millosh 07:19, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Dividing Anarchopedia into language projects

• Script in Perl for generation virtual host.
• We should do:

1. New virtual hosts: en, de, es, eo, fr, ia, ie, zb. With question (down). (Millosh)
   • I (Millosh) think we should put it together: If Anarchopedia root is /srv/www/virtual/org.anarchopedia/htdocs, then we should make directory /srv/www/virtual/org.anarchopedia/langs/ where we should put document roots: /srv/www/virtual/org.anarchopedia/langs/{en,de,es,eo,fr,ia,ie,zb,www}.
     • Virtual hosts configuration with comments. --Millosh 04:41, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
2. Databases for each virtual host. (Millosh)
3. MediaWiki engines. I (Millosh) think that Guanaco can do it better (or faster) then me.
   • LocalSetting.php
   • Internal interwiki
4. Cron backups for every virtual host. (Millosh)
5. Correction of interwiki transliteration in databases (i.e.: [[:es:page name]]->es.anarchopedia.org.... (Millosh and/or Guanaco)
6. (Maybe we should try to move "index.php" page to something like "wiki" or just "a"?)
   • It would be good to support the Standard wiki URI: http://language.anarchopedia.org/wiki/page_name/subpage#section
     • Is it ok http://language.anarchopedia.org/page/subpage#section (without /wiki/)? Please, see http://test.anarchopedia.org/ --Millosh 21:28, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
7. Moving pages. (All users can do that.)
   • We don't have a lot of pages so we can do it manually. Please, keep in mind: when you remove content from www (don't use "delete", just "cut" content), just add redirect sentence: #REDIRECT [[:lang:The name of the page]]

• Please, add your suggestions in this sections.

Well, definitely there's something wrong with the redirects. They are sometimes automatic, sometimes not. The user has to click on the redirect link, even when they got there through a working redirect.--FETuriousness 20:40, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)

What's happening on eng: ? there's a user with the "stalinist administrator" pseudo which is blanking the :eng: anarchopedia... troll, vandal or what ? Libre 12:33, 12 Oct 2005 (UTC)
