Topic: Proposal: automatic PD tags

If I understand correctly, for composer pages there are only two tags, which depend on the death year only. Thus it should be possible to automate the process completely by using the death year as the only parameter. Look at the test page for an example and let me know if I made any mistakes. If lat...

As far as encyclopedic content is concerned, I think we should not try to duplicate the efforts of Wikipedia - rather contribute over there and just link from IMSLP. Wikipedia actually has also some recordings (though not many). Uploading recordings to IMSLP has been discussed several times, but the...

Proposal: automatic PD tags

Just had this idea: how about replacing the current PD related templates by a single one (or three: composer, work, file), which takes as parameters the years when a work will become PD in a given group of countries? Roughly speaking, the idea would be to have something like {{PublicDomain|EU=2009|U...

Have you tried clicking with the right mouse button and selecting "save target as" from the context menu? Maybe it is just some strange problem launching the Acrobat reader, so that you can still save the file to disc and open it from there?

Here's the manual page, which explains it quite well, in addition to having a list of all the hooks :) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MediaWiki_hooks Yeees, I have seen that one before... now, maybe it is obvious, but I still don't understand which is the right hook for this function. Is it P...

If you get that hotlinking message even when you click a link in a work page, then there is indeed something wrong. (I first understood you got a completely blank page, which is why I thought of a network problem.) I have no idea what might be the cause, but as a quick workaround you might try to di...

Need help... how do I assign the function to a hook (and to what hook) so I can test it?

If you get this when you click on the link in this forum, it is normal behaviour. You should not get this when you click the link in the work page, however.

Well... it is going to be a pain to cover all cases; I would just concern myself with covering the cases where Y/M/D, Y/M, M, or Y is given... everything else we will have to see as we go. $wgLang->date() should be able to deal with most, except the formatting of Y/M (the translation is there, but ...

Allow me to repeat the question: Do you think it would be hard to implement a proper log, accessible and searchable via Special:Log, and showing up in Special:Recentchanges (somehow I'd be slightly more comfortable if nothing happened "behind the scenes")? If you think that it is feasible,...

Never mind, should have looked for it myself. Anyway, what about the proposed change to the "add composer" interface? I think that for the average user, the dates of the composer's lives are actually more interesting than the date at which a score was submitted to IMSLP. Moreover, I have a...

OK, the following bit of code should do what required. Let me know if there are any issues with it. Date and month are now optional. Next step would be to change the "add composer" interface to use the #makedate. For this, we would probably want to add a dropdown box for the month. In this...

I guess that using setlocale() may not be a good idea, so that a custom solution is required. Is that correct?

Works fine here with Opera 9.20 (Linux). Have you tried again? Maybe it was a temporary network problem?

It should be compatible with IE6, i have used IE since -98. Now I could start about web history, the "Browser Wars", and how Web Standards were defined long before IE6 came into existence, in order to ensure that web pages work the same in every browser... long story short: IE6 is broken....
