Is there a possibility to get a database download of the current version of the German Wiki? http://de.wikipedia.org/tarballs/cur_table.sql.gz works but seems to be from end of August and doesn't contain any new articles. -- Ben-Zin 11:57, 26. Okt 2002 (CEST)

Yes, I'll set that up in a minute. Oh, and to confirm -- daylight saving time ends for you guys in about 3 hours? I need to know how much time I have to fix the hard-wired default timezone offset. ;) --Brion VIBBER 01:05, 27. Okt 2002 (CEST)

Problems with irritating logout and monobook-skin

Hi Brion, several users of the german Wikipedia have problem with irritating logout and monobook-skin. Instead of the fact that we´re all log-in, after a few minutes, especially in the moment, when we´ve been editing some article or jumping to annother item, the wikipedia smashes us out of "the race". So we also have to log in. (Special operative bullshit) A minor problem is that monobook-skin shows "kleinschreibung": for example "einstellungen" instead of "Einstellungen". We think that monobook is however very buggy. Do you have any solutions for this problems?

Signature

Hi, Brion. I've a Problem with my Signature. I've written ]] [[Benutzer Diskussion:Nico Düsing|(Diskussion) in the add-Feald for my Signature. so normaly Wikipedia should write [[Nico Düsing]] [[Benutzer Diskussion:Nico Düsing|(Diskussion)]], but that isn't the case. [ and | are changed to HTML-Lettercodes so that I've this: Nico Düsing [[Benutzer Diskussion:Nico Düsing|(Diskussion)]] 14:33, 5. Dez 2005 (CET) In the past I could do that that way and it works but now not. What can I do? I fear that is because the Change of a Wikipedia-Code, because that I'm asking you. I hope you can help and understand me. Please wirte a Comment on my Discussion-Page, because I will know faster that you have answered me. --Nico Düsing [[Benutzer Diskussion:Nico Düsing|(Diskussion)]] 14:33, 5. Dez 2005 (CET)

Vorlage Diskussion:Rot

Hi, there! A couple of days ago I made up Vorlage:Rot, which colors links pointing at stubs red with blue underlining, like this:  Aattetur′. The idea was to catch the eyes of passers-by even before they actually view the stub, in order to encourage them to improve bad texts. I asked people to utter their opinion and Benutzer:D commented: "Brion is going to cry when he hears about that." Now, do you cry? And if so, why? --Thetawave 18:55, 8. Dez 2005 (CET)

Deletion of a commentary line

Hi Brion, I have carried out a speedy deletion of an insulting Lemma. Unhappily I did not clear out the commentary line [1]. Now, the one who suffered is asking for deletion of his name in context of the insult. Is it possible to remove the former content-note manually from the log? Thanks, --He3nry 08:13, 20.

WikiLearning

I chose you at random out of the admin pool. My question: Is www.wikilearning.de a part of Wikipedia or is this a commercial or an illegal copy of Wikipedia for e-learning purposes. It looks pretty weird, in my opinion.--Panda17 12:25, 21. Dez 2005 (CET)

Hallo Panda17, guckst Du bitte dort, wikilearning.de ist eine ganz normale, die freie MediaWiki-Software nutzende Seite, also keineswegs "illegal". Solltest Du Seiten entdecken, die Inhalte der Wikipedia weiterverwenden, guck bitte bei Wikipedia:Weiternutzung, dort steht, wo Du ggf. solch eine Seite melden kannst. Gruß --:Bdk: 12:56, 21.

Privacy Problems

Hallo Brion,

anstelle die anfragenden user aus der Support-Mailinglist (mediawiki-l@wikimedia.org) auszuschließen, wäre es vielleicht eher sinnvoll, Stellung zum Problem bezüglich der Veröffentlichung sämtlicher Mails von Drittseiten ohne die Zustimmung der User zu geben. Vielen Dank

Dear Brion.

Would you please state about the privacy problems concerning the Support-Mailinglist (mediawiki-l@wikimedia.org)? Instead of banning the users out of the Support-Mailinglist, it would be more useful to give a statement concerning the unauthorized publishing of third party websites. Thanks in advance

mediawiki-l is a public mailing list; as with all public mailing lists, you authorize the publishing of your message by sending to it. --Brion VIBBER 00:10, 14. Jan. 2007 (CET)

Change the stopwords

Hello Brion,

can you tell me, if it's possible to change the stopwords on a local wiki system? I tried to find out the stoplist, but i couldn't find it. I want to delete a few words. thx --E-oezi 18:29, 26. Apr. 2007 (CEST)

enotif

Hi, Brion, is there any chance to switch on the enotif option for de.wikipedia? If you enabled the option in the wikimedia software but set the default value on "false" would this really be a problem for the wikimedia servers? Maybe we could at least run a test? Greetings --Subbuteo Tick! 17:10, 20. Jun. 2007 (CEST)

See #comment 5 on bug 5220. --:Bdk: 19:35, 20. Jun. 2007 (CEST)

Hm, was sagt uns das denn nun? Woran hängt's denn noch? Ich bin so ein bißchen ratlos... --Subbuteo Tick! 22:26, 20. Jun. 2007 (CEST)

dito. Schließ Dich am besten mal mit Wikinaut kurz. --:Bdk: 22:30, 20. Jun. 2007 (CEST)

Danke für den Tip, werd' ich mal versuchen. Nevertheless, some answer from Brion would be very nice. --Subbuteo Tick! 00:02, 21. Jun. 2007 (CEST)

I also fully support this request; the Enotif settings are enabled in Commons since a long time; it needs a serveradmin who sets the corresponding switches (all well documented) in LocalSettings resp. DefaultSettings to true.

How I can get Checker Status?

Hello Brion

I have seen that you are the only User with the "Prüfer Status" (Checker). In the Help is written was a "Prüfer" has to do, but not how he can get one. I'm an expert in one topic, and I want to apply for it. --Ranger2000 22:50, 26. Mai 2008 (CEST)

Hallo Ranger2000, der Prüfer-Status befindet sich noch in der Erprobungsphase. Brion taucht nur deshalb in der Liste auf, weil er sich (als Entwickler) die entsprechenden Rechte zu Testzwecken selbst gegeben hat. Die weitere Entwicklung des Features kannst Du auf der Seite Hilfe:Gesichtete und geprüfte Versionen verfolgen (siehe auch die dortige Diskussionsseite). --:bdk: 18:35, 31. Mai 2008 (CEST)

HellDragon: dewikipedia account usurpation

Hi, I'd like to ask for usurpation of the user "HellDragon" for SUL on this wiki (aka User:HellDragon). I previously made a request on wikimedia SUL request page but they redirected me here! The user has made no contribution so far, it seems the account has never been used, and I only have this problem with the deutsch wikipedia. I hope I'll be able to usurp it to be ready for SUL! Thanks. --en:user:HellDragon.

Hello, please see Hilfe:Benutzernamen ändern and the usurpation subpage Hilfe:Benutzernamen ändern/Benutzernamens-Übernahme. Note: You should first create an account here (e.g. "HellDragon-de") as requests by IPs are not accepted. Then make sure you confirm the accord with this new account on your en.wikipedia user page, and quote that diff on request form. Hints for the three fields of the template:

1=HellDragon

2=HellDragon-de

3=usurpation for SUL, see confirmation on my en.wikipedia user page [link]

Regards --:bdk: 18:35, 31. Mai 2008 (CEST)

Mion

Hi, I would like to merge/SUL Benutzer:Mion to nl:Gebruiker:Mion, it is my account but the password isn't working anymore. Thanks[2]. Mion55 15:44, 1. Aug. 2008 (CEST) (FIXED), thanks Mion55 19:23, 10. Sep. 2008 (CEST)

Unified login question

There's an account on de: using the same username that I have on en: (en:User:Bearcat) that isn't currently linked to my unified login, but reviewing the edit history it consists almost entirely of transwikied edits that I did on en:. I was wondering if it would be possible to have control of the account linked to me, if somebody else isn't actually using it. I don't speak enough German to make very much use of it, in reality, but I do occasionally want to add interlang links and correct errors that I can make out with my fairly limited knowledge of German − frex, I need to correct the inaccurate claim in Saint Firmin Monestime and Mattawa (Ontario) that Monestime was the first black mayor in all of North America, as he was only the first in Canada (at least two black mayors in the US predated him). Thanks. en:User:Bearcat 23:55, 11. Okt. 2008 (CEST)

Usurpation

Usurping

Account usurpation request

Hi, I'm Mpitt on it.wiki and I have got a unified login with that name, but I saw that there was a user named Mpitt in de.wiki. I checked his user page (doesn't exist), his contributions (he never did any), his log (no activity since registration). Can you rename that user enabling me to have a unified account on all Wikis? Thanks a lot --Mpitt2 23:23, 16. Aug. 2009 (CEST) P.S. I registered this account only to make this request, when we have done I'll delete it.

Beginner to bigwig?

Hallo Brion Vibber, sei gegrüßt von einem einfachen WP-Anfänger...
Sorry, my babelfish was broken ... ;-)

Hello Brion Vibber, I am just a WP-beginner sending greetings to someone I found in the user list, restricted to WP:Prüfer, a list consisting of one user (you).

Taking this for granted, you really should be going to WP:validate articles ... Something, a member of the WM:Reviewer group does. (Not to be confused with the task of an WP:trusted_editor (Sichter), that some [enWiki pages even called WP:reviewer to make confusion complete.)

-- PG64  :-)

PS: It'll be interesing what your babelfish would do with some funny discussion about different wordings in WM-groups (e.g. "editor", "reviewer") and WP-"rank" (where "editor" and "reviewer" might be something else). See Wikipedia_Diskussion:Gesichtete_Versionen#Synonym "Editor" für Sichter unpassend. --PG64 01:13, 1. Feb. 2010 (CET)

Usurpation request

Hello Brion, I am Rehman. I am contacting you after my request here. Would you be able to usurp Benutzer:Rehman on this wiki? If you want proof that i am really "Rehman" on the SUL (except for those three accounts), i can change my En-Wikipedia talkpage. I made this request as an IP because i dont think it is worth to create a new account just for this. Thanks. 203.81.107.184 15:22, 11. Mär. 2010 (CET)

Thank you! Rehman 15:12, 8. Sep. 2010 (CEST)
