Hi,
I'm using Mediawiki 1.12 in a chroot'ed environment. I'm used to use
mini_sendmail in those environments but without luck with mediawiki:
UserMailer::send: sending mail to Abcdef <helmut(a)domain.tld>
Sending mail via internal mail() function
Error sending mail
What do I need to use either sendmail to send mails from mediawiki or to use
the "internal mail() function"? Is it phpmailer? Can I rise the debug output
to get more information?
Thanks, Helmut

Hi
I want only admins to be able to edit content, but anyone to be able to post
to talk pages - is there a way to control edit rights for talk pages
differently from content pages?
Thanks in advance for any help
Derrick
We did not want logged in users to also be able to create accounts,
so we also added, to LocalSettings.php,
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createaccount'] = false
After we noticed logged-in users could create accounts.

Hi,
what ways to control account creation does Mediawiki 1.12 provide? I would
like to have some kind of restriction mechanism, e.g. that sysop needs to
approve new accounts.
I already tried
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['emailconfirmed']['edit'] = true;
without success. I can create an account without providing an email and then
edit any page.
Thanks, Helmut

Welcome to mediawiki-l. This mailing list exists for discussion and questions
about the MediaWiki software[0]. Important MediaWiki-related announcements
(such as new versions) are also posted to this list.
Other resources.
If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to
mediawiki-announce[1] instead.
MediaWiki development discussion, and all Wikimedia technical questions, should
be directed to the wikitech-l[2] mailing list.
Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist:
- mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions,
- mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise,
- mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subversion repository,
- mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support,
- wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker.

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
send.
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.

My "Special:Contributions" page does not seem to work properly.
Whenever I try to access it, I get:
Database error
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in
the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "". MySQL returned error "1227: Access denied;
you need the PROCESS privilege for this operation (terrabithia.home)".
I believe the cause is my initial database security configuration. I
followed the MySQL instructions for securing the DB and think I
removed too many of the accounts accidentally. I added them back in to
get mediawiki working, but it looks like I don't have all the
permissions I need. How do I fix the problem?
Thanks!
Micah

Thanks, I copied the 2 *.sql files into the sql query and it made the
tables. It is working now,
didn't know this was going to only affect the search engine though.
Thought Titlekey would also affect the links (would make links to page
titles case-insensitive.
I almost cam across a case-insensitive fix, but it would have to be done
on a new install, if it even works.
in includes/defaultsettings.php the line ( $wgLegalTitleChars = "
%!\"$&'()*,\\-.\\/0-9:;=?@A-Z\\\\^_`a-z~\\x80-\\xFF+"; )
i could remove A-Z as a legal title character from here, However
mediawiki uses a Capital letter for the first character.. which makes
the system crash. Maybe there is a way to code that as an exception??
That would solve case-insensitive links as titles would not be allowed
in all uppercase.
I know there are uses for differences, but it is so annoying to have a
page "PAGE_1" and if it is linked to as "page_1" mediawiki treats it as
a new page.
Matt
Thank you for your suggestion below.
That did not work for me.
Any other suggestions to get this to work ?

You need to use a wildcard, designated by an asterisk.
For search returns that include "fellow" and "fellows", try fellow*
For search returns that include "fellows" and "fellowship", try
fellows*
I am having problems searching for a portion of a word in MediaWiki
1.11.0.
Using the MediaWiki search, if I look for the word "fellowship" on a
page, I get

I'd like to take my local wiki (1.12) and bring it places to show it
around. To do so, I reckon I need two things:
1) a cross-platform wiki-on-a-stick (USB) setup (Mac and Linux and, I
guess, Windows)
2) a method to synchronize changes from my internal wiki to the one I
carry with me and vice-versa.
The first part is probably pretty simple and just requires a bit of
legwork to track down all the proper binaries and a bit of scripting
to start and stop the various servers. However, the second part is a
bit daunting and I'm wondering if anyone has yet taken this on?
There's always the manual way of dumping the source DB, wiping the
target and reloading it, but does anyone have alternative suggestions?
