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
James
The advice in the subject line is correct. Users should never be
deleted from the table for another reason; you leave a lot of messy
references to them lurking about which really does confuse the hell
out of the software.
MediaWiki does not support the deletion of users, and likely never will.

Hi,
For some time I've been using the following syntax successfuly on
Mediawiki 1.5.x:
[[Image:document-xyz.pdf | My document XYZ]] which used to produce the
following output as a link to the "Image:" page:
My document XYZ
Now this doesn't work anymore, at least with mediawiki 1.5.6 and 1.5.7
and for the same syntax I just see this link as if no alias had been
given after the pipe:
Image:document-xyz.pdf
Is there any reason why I should observe that ? I have noticed that the
following alternative syntax works as I want it to work but I wonder if
this is the right way to do it (I added a colon at the beginning):
[[:Image:document-xyz.pdf | My document XYZ]]
Thanks for your help,
Regards,

You will have to modify the extension to feed the included text
through the wiki parser.

This would seem to be beyond your scope, then. It sounds like an
interesting project, but I have no extra time to help you right now!
Perhaps someone else with an interest will want to craft a solution.

I downloaded and installed Mediawiki 1.5.5 a few days ago, and have been
having a look. I have pretty good experience in PHP, but it's my first look
at Mediawiki.
One of the biggest things I have noticed is:
a) echo, doesn't
b) if I try and create my own "test_wiki.php" file calling wiki
functions/methods, I get I think errors but all that is displayed on the
screen is a complete blank
I suppose these things are basically the same thing. Is "echo" disabled?
Is there some other global setting I haven't seen which is stopping output
to the screen? Is there some magic constant that I have to set to get debug
output (I have found $wgDebugLogFile, $wgDebugRedirects, $wgDebugRawPage,
$wgDebugComments, $wgReadOnly, $wgLogQueries, $wgDebugDumpSql but they don't
seem to help much).
Thanks for any help.

I changed my logo by setting $wgLogo in LocalSettings.php. I believe
that's the right way.
It only shows up on some pages. It seems like it likes to show up on
editing pages, login pages--pages with forms. It doesn't show up on
content pages (when you're only reading them), the main page, etc.
When it doesn't show up, I don't see a broken image box or anything,
it's just not there.
It doesn't seem to matter what skin I use, and I've been sure to clear
cache and restart httpd, etc. It's actually happening the same way in
two different installations. In both cases the logos are nice and
small; one of them is a png with transparency and the other is a
non-transparent png. Any ideas?
Side note: I'm new to MediaWiki, but I'm having a really hard time
googling for help. If I include "MediaWiki" in the search string, the
results seem to return every third wiki out there, rather than help
about MediaWiki. Any tips there?
Thanks,
Matt
Hi,
I run a wiki and like to upload bigger files (no matter what file type or
extension). When I try to upload e.g. pdf- or zip-files with a size of 4 MB
with the image upload function I got an error message "the uploaded file is
empty".
Is there a special parameter, which I have to configure? I did not find that
in the docu...
Here my only settings, which are out of the standard:
DefaultSettings.php
$wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'pdf' );
$wgStrictFileExtensions = false;
$wgUploadSizeWarning = 5000 * 1024;
LocalSettings.php
$wgEnableUploads = true;
$wgUseImageResize = true;
$wgUseImageMagick = true;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";
#$wgHashedUploadDirectory = false;
My version: 1.5.6 on apache 1.3.33, php4.3.10-16, MySQL 4.0.24, ImageMagick
version 6.0.6, PHP imagick version 0.9.11, debian 3.1.

Hi,
I'm looking for the ability to create subcategory or articke directli in
category.
Something like "Create article in this category", "Create category in
this category" links in category view.
What should I be looking for? template? skin? or do I have to somehow
alter wiki source code itself?

Hello,
Has anybody seen an extension or a trick to list the subpages of a page.
I would like to show the list of a subpages and maybe there could be a
variable to store this list, which would allow me to diplay it where I
want in the monobook.
Any idea?
Thanks,
François
