Hi,
I have a question to install the Spam Blacklist plugin.
I copied the files SpamBlacklist.php, SpamBlacklist_body.php and
SpamBlacklist.i18n.php in the folder extensions / Spam blacklist. Then I
have in LocalSettings.php the line: require_once ("$ IP / extensions /
Spam Blacklist / SpamBlacklist.php") inserted;. Now I come but no
further. Do I enter something into the LocalSettings.php? Where can I
wear then the blacklist in my WIKI? Can I use the content of the page
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist simply to a new
article on my take on WIKI?
Thanks and Ciao

Hi All,
We are in the process of upgrading our installations from 1.13 and 1.9 to 1.15 and we are having a little issue with page titles degrading. When we dump the live database and move it to an acceptance machine and run the upgrade.php script on it we find that the characters like alpha have been changing into less readable strings.
We have tried:
mysqldump (with no options)
mysqldump --default-character-set=latin1
mysqldump --default-character-set=utf8
We have tried post dump conversion scripts, including Charco (as recommended in the MW Manual.)
Any other pointers would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Courtney Christensen
This is so simple and showstopping it'll be something stupid on my part.
We have a 1.13 installation. I tried setting up a test wiki with
1.16b2 on the same database ("techwiki") with a new table prefix
("testwiki_").
We have a user, "admin". I tried installing 1.16b2 and got error 1044,
insufficient privileges. I did, per the mediawiki.org FAQ, as root:
mysql> grant all privileges on techwiki to 'admin'@'%' identified by 'password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
- and ran it again. I got (last lines of the install page):
# Attempting to connect to database server as admin...success.
# Connected to mysql 5.0.41; enabling MySQL 4.1/5.0 charset mode
# Database techwiki exists
# Creating tables... done.
# Initializing statistics...
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in
the software. The last attempted database query was:
SELECT user_id FROM `testwiki_user` WHERE user_name = 'WikiSysop' LIMIT 1
from within function "User::idForName". Database returned error "1146:
Table 'techwiki.testwiki_user' doesn't exist (localhost)".
Looking in the database, it has *not* created any tables, so "Creating
tables... done." is untrue.
So what silly thing haven't I done yet?
- d.
Thanks Huib, Ryan, Courtney (sorry I called you Catherine before!), and Platonides for your suggestions for getting the admin password sorted out! In the end, I disabled the LDAP, and had to associate my email with the Wikiadmin account (another dumb mistake, not setting up the email) in MySQL, and then was able to use the password reset function on the wiki login screen with the LDAP disabled. Have since made myself and two other LDAP accounts Bureaucrats and Sysops to prevent further foolishness. :)
Thanks again!
Nina
Hi all,
I attempted to move a Wiki (MediaWiki 1.8.2) and failed because lots
of images/documents/PDF's that were part of that Wiki were for some
reason in the table for the external links ( mw_externallinks ) and,
on top of that, what I got is full pathnames. So, if my Wiki used to
live under http://mywiki.mydomain.com/ the files would be listed as
http://mywiki.mydomain.com/a/0/image1.jpg and such.
Any idea why? Or how to correct that?
Thanks in advance.
Boris.
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.

Wikimania is an annual global event devoted to Wikimedia projects
around the globe (including Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikinews,
Wiktionary, Wikispecies, Wikimedia Commons, and MediaWiki). The
conference is a community gathering, giving the editors, users
and developers of Wikimedia projects an opportunity to meet each
other, exchange ideas, report on research and projects, and
collaborate on the future of the projects. The conference is open
to the public, and is a chance for educators, researchers,
programmers and free culture activists who are interested in the
Wikimedia projects to learn more and share ideas about the
Wikimedia projects.
This year's conference will be held JULY 9-11, 2010 in Gdansk,
Poland at Polish Baltic Philharmonic. For more information, please
visit the official Wikimania 2010 site:
http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org/
Wikimania 2010 will be a mix of submitted talks, open space
meetings, birds of a feather groups, and lightning talks.
Submissions will be discussed and selected in an informal process
on the wiki. If your submission is not added to the schedule, you
will still have many opportunities to bring topics forward
on-site.
IMPORTANT DATES
* Deadline for submitting workshop, tutorial, panel and
presentation proposals: May 20
* Notification of acceptance: May 25 (workshops), May 31
(panels, tutorials, presentations)
* All proposals and presentations will be welcome in the
Open Space track of the conference, whether or not they
are accepted in this initial process.
PROGRAM COMMITTEE
Submissions will be reviewed informally by a team of volunteers.
TRACKS
This year Wikimania will offer three tracks for submissions for
members of wiki communities and interested observers to share
their own experiences and thoughts and to present new ideas:
People and Community
The People and Community track provides a unique forum for
discussing topics related to people using/building wikis.
Relevant topics include, but are not restricted to, the
following:
* Wiki Community: Conflict resolution and community dynamics;
reputation and identity;
* Wiki Outreach: Promotion of wikis and Wikimedia projects among
the general public;
* North meets south, east meets west: How can people of a
different cultural background create an encyclopedia according
to common rules? Same subject in the eye of different cultures.
* Special: Wikipedia in Central/Eastern Europe: this theme will
provide a forum to present and discuss the latest progress of
Wikis in the central/eastern European community.
Knowledge and Collaboration
The Knowledge and Collaboration track aims to promote research
and find exciting ideas related to knowledge...
* Wiki Content: New ways to improve content quality, credibility;
legal issues and copyrights (is free knowledge free?); use of
the content in education, journalism, research;
* Semantic Wikis: The use of semantic web technologies, linked
data; semantic annotation and metadata (in particular manual
vs. automated approaches).
Infrastructure Track
The Infrastructure track at Wikimania will provide a forum where
both researchers and practitioners can share new approaches,
applications, and explore how to make Wiki access ever more
ubiquitous:
* MediaWiki development: issues related to MediaWiki development
and extensions;
* Moving beyond MediaWiki: what other Wiki-like platforms exist;
what tools and features do we need for collaboration on
different types of knowledge?
* Mobile Wikis: The Web is moving off the desktop and into mobile
phones, how we use wikis on mobile devices?; wiki-based
Augmented Reality (AR) applications, location based services
* User Interface Design: Usability and user experience;
accessibility, adaptive interfaces and personalization; novel
UI designs.
WIKISYM 2010
Please note that Wikimania 2010 is co-located with WikiSym, The
International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration. More
information about WikiSym can be found on the conference website:

I'm doing this big transfer of an MVC style site in a wiki. Part of
the existing site is a "user rating" for each page/entry, of the sort
you see on youtube videos (click to rate).
This is not a rating for the page (and we are already using flagged
revs), it's a rating for what the page describes.
Does anyone know of a plugin or something like this?

Hello all,
How well does MediaWIki work with Java? If I want to use Java code to
parse files, access the database, provide or process content for my
Wiki - how easy or hard is it to make that happen?
Thanks.
Boris.
