Morning!
I am building a web site for a family member who is in the process
of completing a PhD and MediaWiki looks like the ideal CMS to use
as they will be able to update their own web site (delegation is
always important :-)
Two questions:
1) There may be a need to have certain pages in multiple languages.
Is the best way to do this for a small site is to add a language
identifier to the page title eg:
here is the CV in [[CV.en|English]] or in [[CV.nl|Dutch]].
Is there a way to do this and still have a more readable title eg
"English CV" rathern than "CV.en"?
2) I see from the LocalSettings.php that it is possible to prevent
access to certain pages for users who are not logged in. Do I
need to list all the pages I want blocked or is it possible
to do wildcards eg internal*
TIA

Is there any RSS support for MediaWiki - i.e. generating a .rss stream for a site?
I am aware of an extension that parses/embeds rss files within MediaWiki pages with <rss>url</rss>
but I want the inverse: to allow others to use RSS to see what's new on my MediaWiki site.

I documented the steps to add AdSense to MediaWiki 1.4, as I suspect others
will also find this useful. If you're not familiar with it, AdSense pays
you ~70% of the click-though revenues Google receives by placing ads on your
page.

mysql> CREATE TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/categorylinks (

ERROR 1071 (42000): Specified key was too long; max key length is 1024 bytes

What should be changed in mysql config in order not to bump in limitation.
Thank in advance.

hi,
with mediawiki 1.4.0 we get the following error:
REPLACE INTO `projsearchindex` (si_page,si_title,si_text) VALUES
('960','kenta',' -- start infobox project -- infobox project projectname
...
<... three pages of text not pasted here ..>
...
from within function "SearchUpdate::doUpdate". MySQL returned error
"1062: Duplicate entry ' ' for key 3 (localhost)".
the text gets anyway stored in the database. how can we prevent this?
can it be that the string is too long?

How can I, as a MediaWiki admin, create a message on every Wiki page/article?
(In my current case, I'm running MediaWiki on a server/domain that will
change in the upcoming weeks, and I want to put a msg at the top of every
page that reads something like "Please note: xxxx.com is a temporary
location.")
The only thing I figured out was: {{global_header}}
...but this requires that every author inserts the above text into every page.
Do any automatic facilities exist? I've been hunting around the Template
help stuff, but haven't yet found anything.
Thanks for any help,

I've googeld and grepped, but no luck. I want to set the default options for
new users. In particular I want new users to have "Add pages you edit to
your watchlist" set by default.
How would I do this?
Thanks.

Hello,
How can I drive these Language.php changes into my Wiki (running 1.4.0)?
I'm trying to encourage users to follow a certain format for the
account-name creation (among other things), and these are the steps I'm
taking thus far to do that.

------- Language.php -------
528c528
< 'loginprompt' => "You must have cookies enabled to log in to
{{SITENAME}}.",

Hello
If I setup a test system in say /test and later want to make it
public and move it to the root directory, is it just a matter of
editing the config file after moving the files or is there more than
needs to be done?

Hi all. In creating my wiki I chose the Copyleft/GPL license.
However, I am finding that some of my sources will allow me
to use web graphics and text for educational purposes, but
will not allow the **redistribution** of them. So I don't think I should
be using the Copyleft/GPL license.
I have not "opened up" my wiki to collaborators yet, so I'm the
only author/editor. Hopefully this means that changing licenses
at this point is not a great problem.
Can anybody suggest what license they think I should be using
and tell me how to change my license "midstream"?
Many thanks (in advance)
