Hello,
after using a couple of hours to google and search mediawiki.org and
meta.wikimedia.org I can't find the needed informations (also I found
a lot of not searched but nevertheless useful informations :-), I
would like to ask the mailinglist.
I would be very happy, if I get a rtfm-url (in case I overlooked the
information source).
We using mediawiki in our company with roundabout 300 employee as a
collaboration platform. I'm especially interested in the work of my
group (which consists of only 15 members from this 300).
So what I'm looking for is a functionality like
Special:Contributions/User1/User2/User3/.../User15
This works fine for only one user, but doesn't for more. Are there any
hidden Special-Page or unknown syntax to address such a request?
In addition, I'm looking for possibilities for cleaning up the result
pages a little bit. E. g. it's enough for me to see that User1 had
edited pageX 29 times (or so), I don't need more details, for that, I
could consult the edited page itself.
Hope, anybody could help?
Kind regards, Peter
Hello,
I have done an update from MW 1.3.x to 1.11 a few month ago. (It was a hard
trip ...) This is how it work for me (step by step and all from command
line):
* Update to 1.4.15 without problems, change LocalSettings.php according to
help:
from
$wgStylePath = "$wgScriptPath/stylesheets";
$wgStyleDirectory = "$IP/stylesheets";
$wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/images/wiki.png";
to this:
$wgStylePath = "$wgScriptPath/skins";
$wgStyleDirectory = "$IP/skins";
$wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/common/images/wiki.png";
* No the tricky part: To update from 1.4.15 to 1.5.8 I did this:
** first run Upgrade1_5.php. Should convert database from latin to utf-8,
but only links and special pages are converted, the content of articels are
still latin.
** Dump the database with latin1, open it with an editor (e.g.
TextWrangler), save it as UTF-8. Find and replace special characters (it was
german - äöüÄÖÜß, dash, accents ... I missed a few, so we had to change them
manually in the articel later ...)
** Import database as UTF-8
** run update.php
** change LocalSettings.php: wgDisableUploads has been replaced with
$wgEnableUploads
* Then it went on with no problems:
** Update to 1.6.10
** Update to 1.11.1
Kind regards, Raul

etc.)
I would like to know if an extension exist to generate automatically article

Hi
Does anyone know of a way, possibly via an extension, to automatically
insert the same message at the top of every talk page? I've tried looking
for an extension to do this, but couldn't find one, although I may have
overlooked it.
Thanks
Derrick
I've updated extension DiscussionThreading
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DiscussionHeading> to be compatible
all the way through 1.13.1 and trunk. As a new feature (thanks to Daniel
Brice), it now automatically indents replies and makes it easier to find
where the editing should begin on replies. Additionally, it has been
internationalized for more than 20 languages (thanks to siebrand).
This extension has been in several production systems for over two years was
written as a formatting extension to Talk_Pages, rather than a replacement.
The talk pages can still be used as a free-form article pages, but threads
can be incorporated by using the [+] tab or the [edit][new][reply] tags
which now appear in each section header. It also offers the additional
flexibility of allowing threads to be modified or removed, like any other
wiki information set.
There is another extension that is focused more on the "newsgroup" type of
approach, LiquidThreads or LQT
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads>. If you are looking
for a highly structured environment with additional functionality (like
sorting, email notification, . . .), you may want to consider LiquidThreads.
The only consistent issue in the discussions around this functionality that
I can see solved by DiscussionHeading over LQT is the ability to modify
previous threads in a Wikipedia-type approach - something many of the
"founders" are quite insistent upon. It is also widely tested and
implemented across multiple platforms.
I could use input and help in three areas (on the discussion page
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:DiscussionThreading> of
course) :
1) Should this extension be deprecated in favor of LQT?
2) I've had at least one user tell me that in version MW R1_11 there may be
something funky with wfLoadExtensionMessages loading the
internationalisation file
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:DiscussionThreading/doc#Not_wo
rking_in_v11.0>. I don't have access to a R1_11 system, but this doesn't
seem to be a problem with 1.13 on. If you are experiencing this problem,
could you post on discussion so I can update the installation instructions?
3) DiscussionThreading_Article has been moved to
Extension:DiscussionThreading/doc. Could someone with admin privileges go
in and delete this redirect page
<http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:DiscussionThread_Artic
le&redirect=no> so that it no longer appears in the Extension matrix?
Thanks!

I want to help me with the following problem using software Mediawiki I
would like to introduce the new pages I've created a menu for Example click
on Edit and then put the following
[[Page 1]]
[[Page 2]]
[[Page 3]]
[[Page 4]]
[[Page 5]]
This would create 5 new pages, then what I want is to present these links in
a menu, now what I have is that these links investigated Are stored in a
table called pagelinks of database Mediawiki, then I think it should
conduct a consultation on this Table and then present them, but this
consultation and I do not Is not where you should put the code to run at the
moment Which begins the wiki.
I use API mediawiki to this consultation and are so kind as if they could
give me an example.
Thank you for your support and apologize for the inconvenience.

Hallo!
I dont't not what was the cause but when I search for a word or a phrase
this word or phrase gets no no red highlighting in the results. I
compared the source of the search result page on my wiki (unfortanetly a
closed corporate wiki - so I can't give a link) and wikipedia and found
that my results are not surrounded by <span class="searchmatch"> PHRASE
</span>.
Can someone imagine why?
I use MediaWiki 1.13.0 and the following extensions: BreadCrumbs,
CategoryTree, CharInsert, Cite, Inputbox, ParserFunctions,
SyntaxHighlight, Gadgets (Version r39580).
Thanks in advance!

Hello all,
I am trying to upgrade from 1.4 to 1.13. Any pointer, tricks and advices are greatly appreciated.
Is it a good idea in the first place or should I go in increments of 0.2?
Thanks in advance.
