if mediawiki
does support outgoing trackbacks?
I'm not sure, if MediaWiki *really* (meaning "officially") supports
Trackbacks at the moment; the documentation on [2] ("index of all
supported configuration options") doesn't mention Trackbacks at all, the
Release Notes to 1.5 [2] just say something about "(bug 796) Trackback
support".
I'd suggest you start an article on Meta (something
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Trackbacks) where those trying to use it
could start to collect their findings.
As someone else mentioned already before, if I enable trackbacks in
MediaWiki 1.5.2, all I get is "1 Invalid request: Required field not
specified", so there seem to be some addition requirements beyond simply
enabling it in LocalSettings.php. If you at least get a Trackback Box on
the bottom of referred pages, you have solved at least something ;)
