Modify the skin with a link something like the following:
<A HREF="mailto:?subject=the subject&body=the content you want there">Send
to a friend</A>
Change "the subject" to a MediaWiki function for the page title
Change "the content you want there" to a MediaWiki function to output the
url or the body text.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] How to generate a "Send this to a friend" link
I have a controlled group editing a WIKI, so there's no problem of spammers
or vandals. Does anyone know of any easy way to automatically generate a
"Send this to a friend" link for every article page on the WIKI?
thank you
Eric

My last post returned a "The message's content type was not explicitly
allowed" message - so i am not sure if it came through. Here it is again.

Hello,
I am new to the list, and have been struggling to understand exactly how
mediawiki 1.5 handles skins.
At first i thought that if you modify the monobook.php and main.css files -
the changes would immediately be apparent on the website. so i went in and
changed those files - and nothing happened. everything still looked exactly
as it did.
So then i thought - MEdiawiki has some awesome cacheing - i'll just disable
that and then it will work - so i added:
$wgCachePages = false;
to the localsettings file and tried again. nothing. none of the changes i
make to the .php or the .css file have any effect on what is displayed.
I searched through the lists and found some references to the
MediaWiki:monobook.css page that is supposed to let you modify the look and
feel of the whole site. But it is currently blank - i would have expected
that page to display the currently used style sheet....
help! am i totally missing something?

I have been developing a wiki site that needs to display on systems running
Windows 2000 running IE and Solaris running Netscape 4.7. The machines
running IE work with no problem at all. But the Netscape 4.7 does not
display the page so it can be read. I am right now searching the archives to
see if anyone else has posted about this problem yet. If you know of any
real quick solution to this that have been posted can you please post the
date of that post so I can go back to that one and see if the fix works.
Thank you very much for your help
Pretty common question. We've got a somewhat similar need and haven't found
suitable solution.
Here is something that may interest you, though.

Hi all,
am a bit stumped. Tried out several methods (inc. restricted pages) but
can not get exactly what I desire--I have my clients logging in to a
wiki to "view" comps for them. Now, they don't want the other clients
to see their sections--which didn't seem important to me, but is to
them.

How do I provide this? I am happy to do it manually, as long as I can.
I just don't know how to without making a new user group (similar tot
he restrict method) for each client, and then setting their area with
that--is that the way to do it? Is that even possible?
Thank you,
David

Hi all,
This *must* be a FAQ, but I've looked everywhere and can't find
an answer.
I've followed the excellent (and simple) install instructions, but when
I start the config process by going to: http://mymachine/wiki/ I get:
Fatal error: Failed opening required 'includes/SiteConfiguration.php' (include_path='/usr/sausalito/ui/libPhp:/usr/sausalito/ui/web') in /var/www/html/wiki/includes/DefaultSettings.php on line 27
Any ideas on how to correct this?
TIA,
Doug
Hi all.
In preparation to move to 1.5.x, I'm upgrading our sites to 1.4.11 from 1.4.7. While running the php update.php script I get the following errors:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/wiki2/mediawiki/maintenance/commandLine.inc on line 161
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/wiki2/mediawiki/includes/ObjectCache.php on line 409
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Dear Mediawiki user,
Co-author Dan Woods and I are working on a book titled "Wikis
in the Workplace: A Practical Guide to Collaborating, Creating
Knowledge, and Sharing Information". See details on the book
at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/WikisInTheWorkplaceBook
(FYI, although the abstract is on twiki.org, the book is not
TWiki specific)
For this book we are interviewing people who are familiar with
the wiki technology, so that we can write about current
possibilities, limitations and future trends of wikis. We are
primarily interested in learning about larger wiki deployments
behind corporate firewalls.
If your Mediawiki falls into this category we would be delighted
to hear from you. Interviews are typically done in a one-hour
conference call. A list of questions can be supplied ahead of
time. If needed we can quote anonymously or sign an NDA.
To conserve bandwidth, please reply to me only.
Best regards,
Peter

MediaWiki 1.5.1 is a bugfix and security maintenance release, and is a
recommended upgrade for all installations.
This release includes further corrections to the inline CSS style
sanitation which works around a JavaScript "feature" on Microsoft
Internet Explorer. Users of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows may
be vulnerable to XSS injections on prior versions; users of
standards-compliant browsers are not vulnerable.
Major fixes include:
* Image pages work again with resizing disabled
* Works in MySQL 5.0 strict mode
There is experimental support in this release for explicitly declaring
the UTF-8 charset in the database; this has been tested with MySQL
5.0.15 but should work on 4.1 as well.
IMPORTANT: Changing this setting on an existing wiki may produce
interesting data corruption, depending on server configuration. Page
contents should, usually, be unaffected, but page titles and other items
may be. Limitations in MySQL's Unicode support mean that characters
outside the BMP cannot be used in page titles or various other fields
when using this mode.
Table definitions are in maintenance/mysql5/tables.sql, and the runtime
option to send 'SET NAMES utf8' is set by $wgDBmysql5 = true.
(MySQL 3.23.x and 4.0.x do not support character set declarations; on
these versions MediaWiki simply works with UTF-8 data and MySQL is
blissfully unaware of it.)
