Hi List,
I'm from the Afrikaans Wikipedia and we inherited a translated MediaWiki
(none of the original contributors have been active for over a year).
The original choice of names for the talk pages (talk, user talk, and so
on) are less than ideal as they are very long and cumbersome. Since then
the languageAF.php file has not been maintained well and is in desperate
need of attention. What would be the consequences of dropping in a new
translation of languageAF.php that would involve renaming the
namespaces?
(please CC me as I am not on the list)
Hello everybody! I have just set up wiki at greenpowered.org to help
people teach each other about making the transition to clean energy.
It is a wonderful engine and I thank everyone who contributed to it
and for making it available.
I have a couple problems I can't figure out though. Possibly it is
something with the server not mediawiki, but any info is appreciated.
The first is that every once in a while when a link is clicked, I get
prompted to save the file: index.php I believe. If you click cancel
and click it again it always works. It happens rarely. If you open the
file it prompts you to save, it is in binary, with only a couple lines
of data.
The second problem only started happening recently. What happens is if
a new page is created, then you go back to the page where you created
it, the link does not turn blue. If you click it the edit page comes
up, and the text is in the editbox. The strange thing is hitting
refresh won't help. The only way for the link to turn blue is to
delete all the pages out of the IE browser cache, and re-access it. I
thought it happened when I upgraded from 1.4.0 to 1.4.4. However, i
went back to 1.4.0 and it was still there. Now I'm on 1.4.5, and still
have the problem. The way I switched versions was just to replace all
the files.

Hi there-
We have two media-wiki (1.3.9) based wikis installed on a single
server. The problem we're facing is that when we log into one of the
wikis, and then go to the other (e.g. two windows/tabs in firefox),
then try to edit in the first, it *always* forces us to re-login.
This *really* sucks :-(. Everything else is working really, really well.
Some details: the server is running linux/apache2, both wikis have
alias directives in the apache config to do 'index.php' url hiding.
One wiki is limited access, controlled by the apache mod_auth_ldap via
apache access restriction directives. (Note, we're not using Apache's
own mod_auth_ldap, but an alternate one that supports nested groups.)
Both are on running from the same domain, just different
directories/sub-URLs (e.g. http://foo.bar/wikiA & http://foo.bar/wikiB
.)
I've done some googling/read the release notes, and can't find any
pointers, other than some notes in earlier version release notes that
imply this problem shouldn't be happening.
Any help greatly appreciated, I'm relatively new to setting up
apache/php/media-wiki.
(PS- unless there's a known bug, I don't want to upgrade media-wiki
just to see if that fixes it... unfortunately I don't have a lot of
time to support these sites, and need to 'save' time for an expected
upcoming hardware upgrade, which is when I hope to update the
software.)
Thanks in advance-
Julian
Hi,
We've recently started using Mediawiki quite extensively around the
office as part of the intranet, and it's working out great. Thanks for
a great piece of software!
We have one minor gripe though, which I'm trying to find a solution
to: Are there any extensions or tools to print one or more wiki pages
to postscript or PDF in a nice way?
Printing from Mozilla is quite decent, but you often end up with funny
page breaks, there's some headers/footers I can live without etc. etc.
Some solutions that've popped into my mind:
* is it possible to create an extension for this?
* is it possible to modify the css or whatever it is that decides how
the browser prints?
* are there any third party tools that could PDF-ify a Mediawiki DB?
* ... other ideas?
Any tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Hello, I realized that my apllication based on Mediawiki was based in
the concept that I had a PO file provided by other apllication.
The problem is that a few time ago said me that the other application
is not developed already - maybe eight months later (would be a
new/redone/finished project made by other person).
So, I just realize that I must change things: the PO file was in the
index directory and loaded normally (in the same directory as
index.php), but now I see it has to work with a PO file provided by
the user! (although not in the future, but yes now to work).
I think I can do this by upload the file (there's a textinput already
done to "examine" the hard disk of the user, I believe), but it should
be done automatically. And later it should be unloaded automatically -
another possiblity would be provide a link to download the modified
file, but I would like to minify options (potential users are not
computer experts).
The best would be that more than upload/unupload - the wiki goes to
the path indicated and modifies the file just here. I suppose it's
possible, but the fact is that I need to show it tomorrow - if any of
you can give me a solution or only an indication on how to do this
(accessing the file in hard disk), or even how upload/unupload
user-transparent (without user having to press buttons, only select
the file in the examine dialog), it would be great.
The application is almost finished and it's only this
last-minute-thing that I've realized and is kicking me...
Thanks in advance and sorry if the question is moron: as I said, I
just realized it and the one-day limit avoids me time. I beleive I'll
can this noon (now I'm in work, no access to my code) do an "upload
plus download it", but I see it as a solution of emergency - probably
not liked by project bosses.

Hi
First I would like to thank you all guys for providing quick solutions to all my questions.
Now I am facing a new problem and I am sure someone will come up with a solution for this too :-)
I have requirement in which I have to convert MSWord format to Wikitext.For this I first convert it to HTML which is quite easy.
Then I need to convert HTML to wikitext.Is there any way to do it?
Please suggest guys.
Thanks and Regards,

I decided to update my media wiki 1.4.4 to 1.4.5 but the 'save' button
didn't work any more. The apache log gave this error:
[client 192.168.x.x] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function:
pinglimiter() in /var/www/html/mediawiki-1.4.5/includes/EditPage.php on
line 214, referer: http://intranet.mydomain/wiki?title=...&action=submit
I compared EditPage.php from media wiki 1.4.4/5 with this result:
214,217d213
< if ( $wgUser->pingLimiter() ) {
< $wgOut->rateLimited();
< return;
< }
500c496
< $editsummary="{$summary}: <input
tabindex='2' type='text' value=\"$summarytext\" name=\"wpSummary\"
maxlength='200' size='60' /><br />";
---
> $editsummary="{$summary}: <input
tabindex='3' type='text' value=\"$summarytext\" name=\"wpSummary\"
maxlength='200' size='60' /><br />";
So, I decided to use the previous EditPage.php version and like this I was
able to save again.
My question is: perhaps is this a bug? or an php or php-mysql specific
problem?
Thanks,
Pablo Chamorro C.

The main Wikimedia servers in Florida will be moving to larger rackspace
today. Among other things, this will take the mailing lists and Bugzilla
offline for some or all of the day; sorry for any inconvenience!
The #mediawiki IRC channel on irc.freenode.net will be alive and well
during this time, though during some periods we may be a bit busy
reinitializing servers.

What's the current recommendation on which version of MySQL is
preferred?
Is it still 4.0.x, where x is greater than 13?
Or were the issues related to 4.1 resolved?
