On Mediawiki.org and on Wikipedia too, this works:
[[File:Nuvola apps download manager.png|40px|link=http://www.cnn.com/]]
It uses that image and links the image to the URL. On my default MW (1.13) though, this doesnt work. Can the default MW version also have this functionality please? Or is this something that was introduced in 1.14?
Yea, I've tried image link extensions but they're hard to work with.
thanks

We just updated from 1.13.2 to 1.14.0 and I see that a feature has disappeared from Special:MovePage. It used to display a checkbox, "Update any redirects that point to the original title." Now that checkbox is gone, even when a page has redirects. Is this a regression error? That checkbox is great - it reduced our double-redirects significantly.

Hi,
I have mediawiki on a windows based, apache server. When I set it up,
the url was:
http://server/mediawiki
I then went into my AD DNS and added an alias to server called "wiki".
In apache, I added a virtual host for wiki which set the document root
to the mediawiki folder.
The virtual host works because when I go to http:/wiki/ it resets the
url to http://wiki/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page. The problem is, of
course, that /mediawiki/ should not be part of the URL. I would need it
to be http://wiki/index.php/Main_Page.
The original URL still works but I am confused as to why setting it up
with a vhost doesn't work.
Any ideas how I can get this to work?
Hi List,
i'm new here, this is my first post.
Last week i was asked to move one of our wikis (see
http://uwe-kern.de/winfwiki/index.php/Spezial:Version) from
"uwe-kern.de/winfwiki/index.php/" to the new domain
"wiki.intermoves.de/index.php/". The server is still the same, only the
document root changed (namebased virtual hosting).
So i copied all the wiki-files into the new directory, removed the images
directory from the old location and linked it into the new, and changed
$wgScriptPath in the new location's LocalSettings.php to match the new
URL:
old:
$wgScriptPath = "/winfwiki";
new:
$wgScriptPath = "";
All other pathes still have default values.
So the wiki is now accessable via both URLs.
When an article, that links to other articles using the "[[articlename]]",
is written by someone using the "uwe-kern.de/winfwiki/index.php/" URL, and
someone else using "wiki.intermoves.de/index.php/" clicks the links, he
gets the "not found" apache error page:
Not Found
The requested URL /winfwiki/index.php/Testseite was not found on this
server.
Apache Server at wiki.intermoves.de Port 80
This isn't always the case, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
If a page that contains false links is then opened for reading using the
new "wiki.intermoves.de/index.php/" URL and then saved again, the links
always work for "wiki.intermoves.de/index.php/" but not always for
"uwe-kern.de/winfwiki/index.php/".
Can it be that paths are also stored in the DB and not runtime-calculated?
We deactivated all caching and accelerating engines.
This is what LocalSettings says about caching:
## Shared memory settings
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE;
$wgMemCachedServers = array();
# When you make changes to this configuration file, this will make
# sure that cached pages are cleared.
$configdate = gmdate( 'YmdHis', @filemtime( __FILE__ ) );
$wgCacheEpoch = max( $wgCacheEpoch, $configdate );
Any help/hint is very welcome as we can't move our wiki until this issue
is resolved :(
Best regards,
Heiner Wulfhorst

How can I prevent pages from showing op in the Special:NewPages?

Hello,
Thanks for the response. I did some more testing and it seems that diff3 is not the cause (the test server experiences the same slowdown whether the variable is set to false or not.) Is there an internal php routine that compares the 2 revisions when a hist/cur/undo link is clicked?
Thanks
Tim

Hello,
Our setting of MediaWiki includes a number of languages, with a common DB called MC_WIKICAFE, and DBs per
language called MC_WIKICAFE_EN, MC_WIKICAFE_HE, and so on. So far, it works flawlessly. The only problem we have
is running the runJobs.php script. I was unable to find a way to set the language with which runJobs is supposed to be run with,
or make runJobs run for all the languages in the system.
I know we're not the only ones with such a setup ,so how do people do that usually?
Thanks,
Dave
Hey guys.
For my thesis project I am doing a ground up redesign of mediawiki's
interaction. (blue prints, not construction)
Ill be looking at how people use it, from a user / contributer /
administrator role and how we can help make it batter and easier.
From the many wikis I have run, It seems most people are afraid to
edit/ contribute to it because it is so complicated. (or seems so)
Would anyone be interested in talking to me about what they do/don't
like, and what they have a hard time with as an administrator?
Also what your users have issues with.
Thanks,

Hello,
I would like to receive an email when a user create a new page.
I add these lines at the end of my LocalSettings.php :
$wgEnotifWatchlist = true;
# Declare this twice so it works for all versions
$wgUsersNotifiedOnAllChanges =
$wgUsersNotifedOnAllChanges = array( 'jonathan' );
But this, activate a notification for every changes in the wiki, also
creation of a new page.
So, do you know how I can enable just the notification for the creation
of a new page ?
Thank a lot,
Sincerely,
Jonathan
