This morning I found three spam entries in my wiki. Looked suspiciously like previous encoded entries except they had the following at the top of the page.
NOTICE: The data below is posted by a program which is part of the Graffiti research project from Brown University. We will remove the data from your site once the experiment is finished. If you want to delete this, please do so as you would delete a spam page. For more information, please visit http://graffiti.cs.brown.edu/info/.
What I want to ok now is how can block encrypted data from being posted.. I came up with a filter that appeared to beable to block the previous posts like this.
Also is there a standard way to limit the size of any given page as these blocks of encoded text are fairly large (87510 bytes/characters).
Thanks
Adrian
May I assume from answer that you work or used to work on this issue/project ?
Are the recent pages-meta-current dumps complete ?
Thank you again.

I've installed the Google Maps extension and added my API Key to
LocalSettings.php but I'm not getting any maps and I am getting a
Javascript error. I don't know if this is the reason but one possibility
is that it's because the site uses basic authentication. I know the
Google API site says it only works on sites that are "free to
consumers." My site isn't a business and is "free" as in beer to its
users. It's just not freely available to the world because some of the
information is not public. It's basically a family site (totally
non-commercial) were my extended family shares stories and reminiscences
and we'd rather it not be scooped up by the search engines. Yes, we're
hoping to take advantage of Google without them being able to index the
site and if that's unreasonable, then so be it.
On the other hand, the side doesn't have trade secrets or "account
information" that would cost us if it got out so we didn't bother with
SSL. It's just a simple MediaWiki site with basic (plain-text)
authentication. Has anyone gotten this extension working with basic
auth? When I turned off authentication it still failed so I'm not really
sure that's the problem.
The Javascript error I'm getting is "unterminated string literal" on the
line that ends:
overlay.maxContent) { overlay.openInfoWindowHtml('‹/p›
It appears that the next line has the rest of the string literal that
starts on the end of that line, so there isn't an obvious problem there.
Any ideas?
This is version 0.9.4 of the extension and version 1.13.3 of MediaWiki
running on CentOS 5 with PHP 5.1.6. I'm viewing the site in Firefox
3.0.8 on Windows.

Hi all,
Is this the right list to ask questions about extension development or
do I want another list? The wikitech-l didn't seem like a great match
either.
Specifically I'm looking for information about the correct hook to use
to process submitted content just before it is committed to the
database. I'm currently using $wgHooks['EditPage::attemptSave']
successfully, but this feels dirty since I'm directly accessing the
textbox1 property of the object.
Thanks in advance,
Rob.

Application and Templating Framework for PHP
It might help this wiki if I upgrade it. I am having a lot of spam problems.
I did read the notes on upgrade and I am not all that clear on it. Here is
the installed and running wiki
http://aim.alienearmusic.com/aimw/index.php/Main_Page . It has been up for a
few years and I think I upgraded once before.
Right now it's info is :
MediaWiki: 1.5beta3
PHP: 5.2.5 (apache)
MySQL: 5.0.67-community
My questions are :
1. What steps do I need to do to upgrade it to the current version?
2. I understand I need to backup the files and database, that I will do via
my hosting panels for it. Other than that, what do I need to do to prep it
for upgrade?
note I do not have shell access to the server, so I need to upgrade via web
interface

Hello,
I have downloaded and installed a mediawiki-1.14.0, and I installed it
on my computer.
It worked perfectly well, untill just now I met a problem :
I created a page ``test'', and I write these as the source of the page
---
<nowiki>
/usr/bin/perl
</nowiki>
===
please notice that there is a space before <nowiki> in the first line.
When saving this page, I got a error-message :
---
Method Not Implemented
POST to /index.php not supported.
Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora) Server at 192.168.1.53 Port 9053
===
I made some experiment on this problem, And I found that when I modified
it to
---
<nowiki>
/usr/bin/perll
</nowiki>

There was no error during saving.
Who know what is happenning?
thanks in advance.
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.
