I'm playing with CharInsert and edittools on EcoliWiki, and noted
that greek letters are inserted as characters rather than as html
glyphs, e.g.
α vs. α
I was thinking of switching to the glyphs because it seems like
searching for alpha-something (common in chemistry and biochemistry)
is easier than searching for α-something. Are there important
reasons I should not do this?

Me again :)
I was looking for a sitemap extension and found a reference to the script:
maintenance/generateSitemap.php
So, load Putty, run 'php maintenance/generateSitemap.php' and I get
the error message that the script needs php5 to run, and I'm running
php 4.4.6 (which I do, using a htaccess modifier to trigger php5).
My host says that if you need to run individual files as php 5, you
could rename the extension to .php5
I've tried that, and tried running the script again, but got no more luck.
Does anyone have other ideas on how to get this generated?
Nic
Is there anything available (extensions, etc) that would allow someone to
tag an article for follow-up, and then be notified (watchlist and/or email)
that the article hasn't been edited in that period? As an example, we
might have a page for the minutes of our standing monthly meeting, and I'd
like to be notified if the page hasn't been updated in a month (as it means
that I forgot to update it with the most recent meeting minutes).
Thoughts/ideas?

Another thing to consider is using some other page for your "main
page." The page "MediaWiki:Mainpage" contains the name of the page
you want to be your home page. Thus http://www.EcoReality.org takes
you to the page "Welcome to EcoReality!"
Yet another technique: put a #REDIRECT on your "Main Page" to make it
go wherever you want. It will make a little "(Redirected from Main
Page)" note, but otherwise does what you want. Unlike the
MediaWiki:Mainpage hack, this one does not require admin privs --
unless the admin has locked Main Page.

I just wanted to ping the list about this page;
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Interwiki_map
I don't know if it will be useful, but we could potentially use this
as a source for the interwiki links that come packaged by default with
MediaWiki. Also its a good place for community feedback - especially
about dead / altered links.
I also took the liberty of adding a 'description' field into the
table, as per this wish-list item;

Hi all,
I've been trying to get Infoboxes to work on my MW (1.10) for some time
now, and got most everything working-- templates, parserfunctions
extension, and so on. I was trying to get HTML Tidy, but because I'm on
a shared server, my host won't enable the PHP version of Tidy. They keep
suggesting I get a VPS or dedicated client, but I'm just a single
end-user, so that option's not really financially feasible for me.
They said: Unfortunately we cannot offer any sort of special PHP support
if the cPanel/WHM system which is installed on the shared server does
not support the option. This is our policy as custom software
configurations cause several issues for our shared hosting clients down
the road.
Because of this, we can only offer such support to you if you decide to
go with VPS or dedicated hosting, as we allow any customizations which
are possible for such hosting environments which are your own and not
shared with others.
I know that the Sourceforge release of Tidy is multi-platform and is a C
library, but I wouldn't have the first idea of what to do with the files
after downloading. Do they need compiling into a specific format? Is
there a particular way of uploading them (a certain place) or way of
executing a particular file/files from MW? I know my server runs Linux,
but I don't want to run the risk of damaging anyone else's portion on
the server, if that's the concern my host has with me using an external
version of Tidy. Of course, if that's not a risk at all, I'd like to see
if I can get it working, just so I can get my infoboxes up and running.
Is it doable, or should I just give up on ever having infoboxes? Is
there a way to get them working without Tidy?

I have just gotten the following error message
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 199809 bytes) in /home/wiki/wikiSanMar/includes/Parser.php on
line 968
This happened after creating/editing 9 new documents. Mostly tables
ranging form 12 columns x 20 rows to 12 columns x 500 rows
Ideas why and how to prevent in the future would be welcomed
Thanks

Ran into a weird dump problem yesterday, which has me wondering if
there's a problem with my artificially created xml for upload.
Here's what happens. I have a script that builds wiki pages from an
external source and embeds them in xml for upload via importDump.
The script can be toggled to either generate a single page or a bunch
of them. The same script failed to load some pages that load just
fine if you specify them individually, but ImportDump.php does NOT
crash during the import.
I suspect that there is something wrong with the upstream items, but
I can't find it. The Brown Univ XML validator complains about the
following:
line 3, ecoliwiki20070730123135.xml:
error (1102): tag uses GI for an undeclared element: mediawiki
line 166616, ecoliwiki20070730123135.xml:
error (1012): reference to undeclared entity:
line 166616, ecoliwiki20070730123135.xml:
error (1003): entity (or its expansion) is invalid:
line 166616, ecoliwiki20070730123135.xml:
error (1012): reference to undeclared entity:
line 166616, ecoliwiki20070730123135.xml:

line 184234, ecoliwiki20070730123135.xml:
error (402): EOF encountered; no doctype declaration found: mediawiki
but I'm pretty sure these are all red herrings. So...is there a
validator out there I should be using? Is there another reason why a
record might be skipped? I know that if the timestamps are earlier
than the last version there's a problem, but these were all loading
into empty Category pages.

Hi. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access mentions a
method of rudimentary access control involving two mediawiki wikis, one
public, one private, with a shared user database. That sounds like
what I want to migrate a pair of existing e-mail discussion groups onto
wikis. The groups share a lot of content and members, but one group is
public and the other is (nominally) private.
The difficulty is, "shared user database" is a redlink. Could anyone
here help me fill in the details?
Could this be the correct link:
