Math Content

Hi Ashley. I notice you are a sysop for haskellwiki. I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask this, but do you know if there is a reason why math support is not enabled for this wiki? I was planning to add some simple math background for some things and would have liked it to show appropriately. (If it is just because no one was sure on how to configure it, I'd be happy to tell what I had to do for my personal home wiki (same software)). BrettGiles 22:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Now switched on. If it's not showing up on a page, purge the page by adding &action=purge to the end of the URL. —Ashley Y 00:20, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you - works perfectly. BrettGiles 18:15, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

haskell.org skin?

Hi Ashley. I hope you're the right person to ask about this. I'm currently setting up a wiki, and I was wondering how you got haskellwiki looking like it does? I really hate the wikipedia look, and I'd like something nice and simple I could tweak. I understand that you can get skins for mediawiki - is the haskell.org look available in this form? - MikeDodds 12:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I suppose I should publish the skin file somehow. I'm not sure the best way. —Ashley Y 09:44, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, see HaskellWiki:Site software. —Ashley Y 01:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Libraries and tools copyright status

Dear Ashley Y,

I saw that the page Libraries and tools/Genetic programming got a {{unknown copyright}} mark in the recent days during the moving to its own separate page. This mark asks me to resolve the copyright status.

It was me who wrote the content of this page (here is the diff page showing this) in February, so I thought it need not be licenced explicitly, it is automatically licenced under HaskellWiki:Licensing.

Have I to do something?

Tank You very much in advance

Best wishes

Great, go ahead and remove the "unknown copyright" label. —Ashley Y 09:42, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank You, I have done it. EndreyMark 18:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Continuation passing style

Dear Ashley,

Acidentally, I have created a Continuation passing style page superfluously. Because a Continuation article exists already, I suppose the superfluous empty page should be deleted, because its existence can be confusing (e.g. editors linking word "Continuation passing style" will not get a warning red link any more, but a misleading empty page). I cannot delete the page (only empty it, but it is not enough).

Thank You in advance

I made it a redirect instead. —Ashley Y 18:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Interwiki map

Hi: could you add some stuff to the interwiki map? In Haste, I was trying to interwiki to the English Wikipedia using the usual [[wikipedia:Scintilla]] interwiki link, but it didn't work (nor did en:, or wiki: - which just took one to c2.com). Gwern

Same logo, less bytes

If you're interested in using it, I shaved 407 bytes off the logo in the upper-left-hand corner of the wiki. It's uploaded here. Olathe 00:33, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Latex upgrade

While testing Pandoc's conversion of LaTeX to MediaWiki markup, I noticed some bugs. Compare User:Gwern/kenn to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/User:Gwern/kenn. The haskell.org version features many ugly red sections like 'Failed to parse (unknown function\begin): \begin{array}{rclcl} \phi & ::= & P(t_1, \cdots, t_n) \\ & \mid & \neg\phi \\ & \mid & \phi_1 \Rightarrow \phi_2 \\ & \mid & TT & \mid & FF \\ & \mid & \phi_1 \wedge \phi_2 & \mid & \phi_1 \vee \phi_2 \\ & \mid & \forall x.\, \phi & \mid & \exists x.\, \phi \end{array}'.

John MacFarlane, Pandoc's author, thinks this is because of outdated addons to MediaWiki or MediaWiki itself; this is consistent with the same source text not producing those errors on the English Wikipedia. Could you fix this? --Gwern 10:46, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Request for MediaWiki Upgrade

I request that you update the MediaWiki software to a more recent version. Thanks in advance. —HowardBGolden 08:17, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
