: I did, it basically went well! Only a few minor issues from my notes above to Trac. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 21:13, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

== smw : custom types and more ==

Hi Skier

[[user:mstone|mstone]] cant' sleep because he is worried about how to customize presentation of test results. In particular,
[[Property:Trac_bug_number]] shows trac numbers that a) have commas in their display format and b) don't link to trac pages.

Ideally, every time a trac number shows up in a query result it should link directly to a canonical trac url. This is easier if there's no comma involved :) but the more important point is that there are common use cases where you want a canonical link associated with a property.
: Yup. If you always want the link, then I think you have to write PHP code for a new datatype. That would also let you turn off the irritating commas that mess up workarounds like displaying query results with a template. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 07:38, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

we could have people enter an external url, including the linktext (say, just a number) rather than the dlo trac ticket number... but there seems to be something missing in that solution as well.

For related use cases where we want links associated with a property according to a simple rule, see [[template:test-case-query]]. (in that case, the fact that subjects always show up as links, with wikitext [[page|page]], was the frustration; a way to reflect on the name of a subject would be handy here.)

Please help! And explain what the latest updates on [http://semanticweb.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki_development_activities] are when you have time...

Dear Skier, you have entered into the ranks of the olpc wiki-sweepers. Please use your mop & broom for good! --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 08:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
: Thanks! I already deleted a third of the [[Special:BrokenRedirects]] -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 10:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

== wiki back up ==

I had to rebuild recentchanges, which requires a db lockdown for a minute. --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 09:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
: which I was doing to rebuild newpages and others without the 7-day timeout that was limiting how far back you could look -- rather annoying for gathering vandal and edit statistics, or just welcoming new users! --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 09:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks for the wiki work! ==

Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for all the work that you've been doing on the wiki - I've seen many of your edits around (categorization, etc.) and it's been making this place a much more pleasant environment to work in. Mad props! [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 21:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
