I might be wrong here but I don't have a MediaWiki:Common.js page. 'Go' nor 'search' find such. And there certainly isn't a os level file called that So .. did I get gypped or what?<G> DSig David Tod Sigafoos | SANMAR Corporation PICK Guy 206-770-5585 davesigafoos(a)sanmar.com -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Ian Smith Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 7:15 To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Tables in Mediawiki Alexis Moinet a écrit : Paste the whole section into your own MediaWiki:Common.js, and wait... and cross your fingers!

Thanks, that did it. Is there a listing somewhere of all the pages that don't exist?<G> Can I just *assume* that when someone says something like xyz:pagename that If I don't have it I can just create it (with what ever information is being suggested)?

WOW!

You can see a listing of all the MediaWiki: messages by going to Special:Allmessages. Each entry is an "article"; if one doesn't exist, a default value is used. Most of them won't exist initially, like Common.js, and hence use their default values -- in this case, blank. Ian
