Hi List
What do I have to consider, if I rename "ExtraNamespaces"?
For example:
$wgExtraNamespaces [100] = " Foo" ;
rename to
$wgExtraNamespaces [100] = " Bar" ;
Thank you for references

Hi,
I'm developing a tag extension on MediaWiki 1.13 and I need to inject javascript and style tags into the head element only on pages where my tag extension is used.
I've discovered how to do this with a parser extension and my javascript and style tags are included on every page, however I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this with a tag extension.
Can anyone point me to an example of how to do something like this?
Any help is much appreciated.

Hallo, mediawiki-l,
I have a lot of problems with drug spam on my wiki
http://arktur.de/Wiki/Spezial:Logbuch/deletehttp://arktur.de/Wiki/Spezial:Logbuch/block
The spammer (who uses a bundle of IP adresses) first creates a user with
a name including the drug, and then he creates a user page with a
contents like
Benutzer:Order Pletal Cilostazol No Prescription
Order Pletal Cilostazol No Prescription. Discounts and Bonuses, For women Drugs. Purchase Fast
and Discreetly Online No Questions Asked!
***** Click This for Order Pletal Cilostazol No Prescription *****
-----------------------------------------------
I may not block signing up users (does mediawiki allow blocking new
users?), and therefore I have to look at least daily for new users. The
drug spammer changes round about every hour the user page, and because
the user has signed up the spammer can feed the user page from
everywhere.
Now I have more than 500 spammer users (exactly: I had). I delete the
page, I block the user, I block the IP address range. It's a nasty job.
And I delete the user in the database using "phpMyAdmin"; that's the way
the spammer has to sign up again and show the IP address of his actual
system. That's a very ugly way.

=========================
And I block some IP address ranges via ".htaccess" - there is some
strange inconsistency (?) within mediawiki; I have seen it especially
with the address 76.245.246.55. I had blocked the range (at least I
believed having blocked it), and the spammer used the address
nevertheless.
-------------------------------------------------
Is there any chance
a) to block such spam in a simplier way?
b) to delete the user pages and the user entries in a simplier way?
Viele Gruesse!

I've got a older mediawiki install (1.11.0) that uses NavFrame a great deal. I am moving the wiki to new hardware and trying to use collapsed tables as I understand navframe is depreciated.
While the example code renders as expected..
{| class="wikitable collapsible"
! Simple collapsible table
|-
| Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
|}
Except It does not display the hide/show option. Oddly neither does the old navframe code either. Currently all extra includes are disabled and the install is as plain vanilla as it gets.
My best guess is something is amiss with the javascript.
Hallo, Jan,
Du meintest am 08.12.09 zum Thema AW: [Mediawiki-l] blocking drug spam:
> do you have phpmyadmin or only the comando line tool "mysql"?
Both possible.
Viele Gruesse!

forwarding a reply which somehow did not come through to this list, from a
long-time listmember:
>Can I get a list of all the articles in category A and C, in one list?
My response is a bit late.
What you want is a AND function of categories. That is possible. OR
functions are also possible,
and summery of content etc.
My company needed that functionality to. Gabriel Wicke did write some Open
Source code "catfeed" I
needed additional functionality, paid for it, Gabriel did develope futher. I
agreed that my paid
additions for this specific extension is also Open Source. So you are free
to use it.
See http://manual.wikiation.nl/Level_3_mediawiki_extension_catfeed for the
documentation and you
can play with it on http://experimenteer.wikiation.nl (login and change your
preference language
to English may be easy for you.) This is an experimental wiki so do not be
afraid you destroy
something. Localization has to be completed, and some minor changes.
Just an idea as an possible alternative.

in case the user is not found on LDAP, I'd like
to try normal authentication.
I tried :
$wgLDAPUseLocal = true;
but it just writes the debug line :
"Allowing the local domain, adding it to the list."
and doesn't log in.
(when disabling the plugin, I can login using same user/pass)
was that the purpose of wgLDAPUseLocal ?
thanks
While considering what we can do to make translated pages more accessible we
come up against the fact that by default page names remain in English, with
only the langcode appended. This makes things difficult for, for instance,
readers of Cyrillic or Chinese scripts.
One experiment has been to use redirects, so that the blahblah_(uk) page goes
instead to one with a translated title. For an example, see
http://userbase.kde.org/Applications/Utilities_(uk). The only snags we see
there are that there must be an awareness of the two-parts of the translation
job, and that it will result in very many pages which contain only a redirect.
Please correct me if I'm wrong in thinking that this will not put a
significant extra load on the server.
There is a further problem, though, if we wish to avoid the English+langcode
title. Some pages consist of only an application name, which will not, of
course, be translated. At the moment we can't see any way other than using
the langcode to separate them. There is even the possiblity of other pages,
particularly in Scandinavian languages, having the same page-name, due to
similarities in the languages. This seems to open up a huge can of worms.
We had a brief moment of hope when we saw {{DISPLAYTITLE:DesiredTitle}}, but
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Page_name seems to say that it can't help
us.
Has anyone tackled these problems? Or does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Anne

Hi, I have been scouting the internet for how to have a common set of
Mediawiki files (in one common folder) for all my wikis.
Because of the way GoDaddy creates the IP address for each wiki, I believe I
have to have the specific LocalSettings.php file inside each individual
subfolder (unlike some examples that are available in the internet). I don't
know whether my problem is more than linking the subfolder to the common
folder (containing the Mediawiki files).
Anyone knows if there is a writeup somewhere which I may have missed? I have
written to GoDaddy but apparently, well, they ask me to upgrade to dedicated
computer or something like that.

Hello all,
After dumping and restoring to a fresh wiki install a fairly large database
(over 2GB) the main page fails to load, all I get is a white page. I'm
assuming the backup/restore failed, but I'm not sure which one. Are there
any special considerations to take when working with large databases that
could be causing my backup and/or import to fail?
Thanks!
