there's no reason to leave them disabled. I do not know the name of the setting; if I find it I'll list it here. Having it enabled would be ''very'' helpful. Thanks. &mdash;'''[[User:Maven|Maven]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Maven|talk]])</sup> 21:45, 19 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Dear Deity,

You might want to look into some divine intervention regarding this lovely person... ;-)

Would you please enable the page, revision, and user id numbers in the XML export (Special:Export)? I'd like to automate the model gallery project (along with other projects, such as filling in the Availability data in all entity articles) but without the unique IDs provided by that option it's very difficult. The option is enabled by default since MediaWiki 1.5, and as you can see in the changelog:

* Special:Export now includes page, revision, and user id numbers by
  default (previously this was disabled for no particular reason)

there's no reason to leave them disabled. I do not know the name of the setting; if I find it I'll list it here. Having it enabled would be very helpful. Thanks. —Maven (talk) 21:45, 19 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Ooooo, XML export would be very handy. --wisemx 04:20, 20 Oct 2005 (PDT)
We already have it <smiles>—just go to Special:Export or Special:Export/pagetitle. Unfortunately, it's missing some information that would make it easier to use. —Maven (talk) 11:46, 20 Oct 2005 (PDT)
Thanks. Ran some tests that came out well formed but it appeared images would need cdata wraps. --wisemx 11:58, 20 Oct 2005 (PDT)
In case you're interested: the XML Schema can be found here. (If you find DTDs easier to read, as I do, then see the unofficial DTD instead.) Those are for export version 0.3; however, ours is currently 0.1. —Maven (talk) 12:11, 20 Oct 2005 (PDT)
