Everyone is welcome to join, and no technical knowledge needed! It's a
nice and easy way to get involved in the community or to give something

Hi all,
I am experiencing a rare problem: Suddenly the search functionality of my 1.16.0 wiki on 5.2.17 PHP/ 5.0.96 MySQL has vanished.
The database cant find the "searchindex" file and as such the search functionality has gone. There was no maintenance or other event I am aware of that may have caused it. For repair I have tried some progs from the maintenance area (rebuildtextindex and rebuildall) but I get the same error msg:
** Rebuilding fulltext search index (if you abort this will break searching; run this script again to fix):
There was a syntaxerror in the database query.
Last request made to database was:
âSHOW INDEX FROM `searchindex`â
Database::indexExistsâ
           The DB generated the following error: â1017: Can't find file: 'searchindex' (errno: 2) (localhost)â
-- So it looks like the db just lost that file (or it got corrupted). Does anyone experience the same and how did you solve it, or alternatively what do you suggest?
Many thanks
Marcel van Vliet

I have this text:
*** Bullet Item
*** Bullet Item
*** Bullet Item
{{Cquote|''Quote.''}}
*** Bullet Item
I've tried <br /> and {{Clear}} and extra line break before the last
bullet item, both with and without having the Cquote start on another
line, and still the last bullet item, instead of being intended, has
three bullets. I even tried beginning the Cquote line with ***: - All to
no avail.

Any suggestions?
Greetings!
I am trying to do tranclusion form one private wiki of mine to another
(so that I do not have to duplicate pages between wikis). However, when
I try it is requiring a Log In.
Does anyone know a means of transclusion with log on info?

This is a notice to let you know that on Monday, March 4th between
21:00-22:00 UTC (1-2pm PST) Wikimedia Foundation will release security
updates for current and supported branches of the MediaWiki software.
Downloads and patches will be available at that time, with the git
repositories updated later that afternoon.
Hello, I'm curious why pages containing IP addresses in their content don't turn up on searches for those IP addresses. I've seen a couple posts on various forums asking this, but never a good answer.
Anyone know?
Thanks!

Hello all,
I have two version 1.16 wikis that use a shared database configuration that
I'd like to split (I'm working towards upgrading them to 1.20). Say X is
the database that has the user and user_properties tables, and Y is the one
that shares those tables. Would it be sufficient to mysqldump the user and
user_properties tables from X, import them into Y, and set $wgSharedDB to
null in the wiki that uses Y?
Also, what would the process be if I just wanted to upgrade the wikis to
1.20 but still with the shared configuration? One stumbling block so far is
that one database is about 5 GB and the shared one is around 50 GB. As a
test, I ran the 1.20 update.php script against a copy of the 5 GB database
and it took about 18 hours, though that's on a small (2 CPU, 1 GB RAM)
VMware VM. Even on the wiki database production hardware I'd be concerned
about how long an update.php run against the 50 GB database might take, as
I want to avoid a lengthy downtime. Is there any way to speed up the
process? Any field-tested recommendations on improving this procedure?
Thanks,
Justin
