Posting to the list.
Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common
questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if
your question has been asked before.
Please try to ask your question in a way that enables people to answer you.
Provide all relevant details, explain your problem clearly, etc. You may
wish to read [13], which explains how to ask questions well.
To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a
public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you

When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of
your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your
message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting
style[11], for clarity.
When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the
subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer
people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post.
Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list,
which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are
posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the
list in general, you should change the reply to only go to that person. This
avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic.

In a parserfunctions statement like this:
{{#if: {{#some-condition:}} | {{#some-big-computation:}} }}
if #some-condition is false, which of the following should happen?
1. #some-big-computation gets fully evaluated, but results are not
displayed
2. #some-big-computation is not evaluated at all
Looks like choice #1 is happening in MW 1.12.0, which is bad if
#some-big-computation has side-effects or is very expensive. Is this
correct behavior?
Thanks,

Hi,
Is there anyway of having a New Page tab on a page and select
whereabouts in the wiki they want the new page to be linked from ie what
other page...?
I know it sounds confusing, but if you could imagine it as an OS. You
navigate to a new folder and right click, new document (or whatever). Is
there a way this could be done on a Wiki? If not the location of it,
just the New Page tab...that would be great.
Any ideas welcome.
Cheers
Dan
On one of my wikis the IP address of a unlogged in viewer is displayed at
the top of the page.
On a new wiki only 0.0.0.0 appears.
Where should this IP address come from and how do I get it?
The reason I need the IP address "I believe" is that reCaptcha is having a
problem identifying the domain.
I believe it is seeing 0.0.0.0 instead of the wiki's IP.
The Domain associated with the IP address has reCaptcha keys and has worked
before I started messing
around in LocalSettings.php trying to get email to work (it's working now
thanks).
I probable stepped on something in Localsettings.php
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I have a wiki with content in Korean and English and is set in EUC-KR and
our support forums are also set in EUC-KR. On the forums, we show a
Newpages RSS feed from the wiki, however, its not displaying Korean
characters right, and I suspect that the conflict is that the RSS feed is in
UTF-8. Can someone please advise where the file is located for me to change
the feed to EUC-KR?
i have written a number of custom parser-functions that return text
which itself contains one of my custom tag-extensions... for example,
function myParserFunction_Render( &$parser, $body = '' ) {
return "...<myTag>...</myTag>...";
}
using 1.12.0, i now see <myTag>...</myTag> in the generated page; before
(with 1.11.0) i saw the results of processing <myTag> in a separate
extension.
i realize the parser has undergone some major changes in 1.12.0.... in
the past, it seemed, i was able to "pass" information from
parser-functions to tag-extensions through this technique. the latter
appeared to handled "after" the parser-functions, and were a place where
i could lay down things like <img> and <a> tags....
Hi,
i want to upgrade from 1.11 to 1.12

Hi all,
when I try to subscribe (in thunderbird) to an rss-feed to the
recent-changes-page or the new-pages-page in my wiki, I get an error-message
that
http://wiki-h00.fhb.fh-swf.de/_fhbwiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Neue_Seiten&…
"ist kein gültiger rss-feed" (the rss-feed is not valid) and when I put the URL
into the http://feedvalidator.org I get "It looks like this is a web page, not a
feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn't find one.
Please enter the address of your feed to validate."
Strangely I can subscribe to the feed via Firefox and the sage-extension without
problem.
But as I really need to use Thunderbird to view it, I need help...
Regards
Katharina
Hi all, please excuse what is probably a very simple question. I'm new
to both mediawiki and PHP. (I searched the e-mail archives for an
answer but didn't find one.)
I've installed mediawiki but I'm not getting the toolbar with bold,
italic, etc. on edit pages (e.g. as shown here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Category:MediaWiki_Introducti
on&action=edit).
Firebug shows a JS error 'addButton is not defined'
I see that the JS function addButton lives in skins/common/wikibits.js,
so I modified the getEditToolbar function in includes/EditPage.php like
so:
$toolbar = "<div id='toolbar'>\n";
$toolbar.="<script type='$wgJsMimeType'
src='/skins/common/wikibits.js' />"; <==== ADDED THIS LINE
$toolbar.="<script type='$wgJsMimeType'>\n/*<![CDATA[*/\n";
This had no effect. Then I tried adding the entire addButton function
at that same location, but got a parse error.
I suspect I'm going about this all wrong. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony Zepezauer
