mmm... I think you must adopt a different approach... the category
page is used to list the wiki pages (i.e. article, belongin to the specified
category (i.e. people category page list all the pages classified with
people category).
What you need seems a little bit different: listing all the person present
in your wiki, because they have an article classified as person and
because they are a company owner.
IMHO this can make in 2 ways: working only with person category (but
each person needs to have a page) or use DPL to create a list of person
(in this case the selection criteria could be based on category person
for person article and a template for company article)...
Usign DPL then you can list the name and, if the name come from a
company article, you can link directly to the company instead of a
person article...

This is on my aforementioned old 1.11 installation.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Rebuildall.php details what's
supposed to happen: you run it from the command line and it does its
stuff.
But when I try, it complains a lot:
# php maintenance/rebuildall.php
PHP Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_NAME in
/home/mediawiki/mediawiki-1.11.0/LocalSettings.php on line 6
PHP Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in
/home/mediawiki/mediawiki-1.11.0/LocalSettings.php on line 7
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: wgDBservers in
/home/mediawiki/mediawiki-1.11.0/maintenance/commandLine.inc on line
204
Error, Setup.php must be included from the file scope, after DefaultSettings.php

What simple but obvious thing am I doing wrong?

Our intranet wiki is MediaWiki 1.11. Someone did something unknown to
it and a pile of stuff doesn't work (JPEG upload, for instance - see
previous messages on this topic). I tried an upgrade to the latest
stable version and it failed! Clearly, something is deeply messed up.
It should be possible to take a database dump, undump to a fresh copy
and rebuild the config with our desired options. (Config will now be
kept in local svn for recoverability!) Then I should be able to
upgrade to latest stable.
Questions:
1. Has anyone else done this? Gotchas?
2. If the fouled-up-ness extends to the data in the database, such
that the reinstalled copy is broken in the same way ... what partial
recovers are possible?

avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic.

Dear All,
We tried to filter the list of Wikipedia page editors (obtained from the
page histories) to be able to get the list of nonrobot contributors.
As we realized, the first one of the following links with the list of
Wikipedia bots contains more bot users than the second one.
Furthermore, when we used the first (more complete) bot list for the
filtering, we still found bot users among the remaining editors.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Wikipedia_bots_by_name&u…http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&limit=500&group…
Do You have any idea, why these two bot lists are different?
Is there a complete list of Wikipedia bots?
Thank You!

Hi, it seems like the redirect command only works for internal links. Is it
possible to configure it for external links too, as in this
page<http://dummipedia.org/ASEAN>,
so that it also jumps automatically?
Basically, my problem is this. Dummipedia was my first project. In a way, it
failed because I could not create a community. I decided to break it up into
several websites, focusing only on areas that are of interest to me. Since
Dummipedia.org reached an Alexa ranking of 360,000+ and dropping (as I have
not worked on it for a month), I thought that I might as well keep it and
redirect all its articles to the appropriate websites.

Well although the idea isn't absolutely well formed i am thinking out loud
inviting suggestions :
The idea is to embed images from Google static Maps
API<http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/>(if it
can be used depending on regulations) or openstreetmap given the
centre ,size,zoom, map type and other parameters for Google statics Api

Hi everybody,
i would like to change the Media tag to point to external editing of
wiki media files, for example:
[[Media:my_file.pdf]]
now generates a link like:
http://myserver/images/d/d3/my_file.pdf
but i have configured external file editing and would like a link like:
http://myserver/index.php?title=Image:my_file.pdf&action=edit&externaledit=…
I have tried to code in includes/parser/Parser.php (function
replaceInternalLinks) with no success.
Could somebody point me to the right direction?
thank you,
Gregor
Our users have requested a way to limit a search to articles within a category.
(Other folks have suggested this too, e.g., http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Multi-Category_Search#Extensio….)
Before trying to build this as an extension, are there any plans for core MediaWiki to offer this basic & useful capability? Say, on each category page, displaying a search box to "search this category only?"
