I'm upgrading from 1.4.5 to 1.4.9 and have a small glitch.
In my navigation bar, I've added two entries in the array $wgNavigationLinks
array( 'text'=>'IndexLabel', 'href'=>'Index-url' ),
array( 'text'=>'Recentchanges-rss', 'href'=>'Recentchanges-rss-url' ),
and I've defined pages:
MediaWiki:IndexLabel ==> Index
MediaWiki:Index-url ==> saspedia:Index
MediaWiki:Recentchanges-rss ==> RSS
MediaWiki:Recentchanges-rss-url ==> saspedia:RSS
I've defined the pages saspedia:Index and saspedia:RSS (my MediaWiki installation is named "saspedia") but the navigation bar renders incorrectly as:
* Main Page
* Community portal
* <IndexLabel>
* Current events
* Recent changes
* Random page
* <Recentchanges-rss>
* Help
instead of reading the messages correctly. This renders correctly in my 1.4.5 wiki but not with 1.4.9
Note: These new MediaWiki namespace entries do not show up in Special:Allmessages; should they?
I looked at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ#How_do_I_change_the_contents_o… and I've cleared the browser cache etc. and I can't see what is wrong.
A related problem occurs with a button I've added to the edit toolbar. In EditPage.php I added (after the button_italic definition) the following
array( 'image' => 'button_tt.png',
'open' => "\\<tt\\>",
'close' => "\\</tt\\>",
'sample'=> wfMsg('tt_sample'),
'tip' => wfMsg('tt_tip'),
'key' => 'T'
),
I've defined MediaWiki:Tt_sample and MediaWiki:Tt_tip pages; i.e. my MediaWiki_Tt_tip page contains
Typewriter (fixed width) text
but the toolbar tip says
<tt_tip>
instead. The other toolbar tips (Bold text, Italic text, etc.) work as expected.
The tt button action works as expected; i.e. it will embed the selection
in <tt>...selection...</tt>. However, if nothing is selected, it inserts the
wrong sample:
<tt><tt_sample></tt>
instead of <tt>Fixed width (monospace) text</tt>
which is what I expect: MediaWiki:Tt_sample contains "Fixed width (monospace) text".

Trying to understand the date categories in wikinews for my own site. I see
that the date template puts articles into a category specific to the date
but it looks like on the wikinews site there are also pages that are created
for the year/month/day. These are referenced in the "latest news" template
on the front page. How are these created? Is there a template that I'm
missing somewhere that converts date category data into pages

I upgraded from 1.4.6 to 1.5b3 and have been developing on that platform for a
few weeks. Now that 1.5rc1 is out, can I simply overwrite all of the files to
upgrade?
Also, I had experienced a major bug. When upgrading to 1.5 from 1.4.6 I lost
the MIME relations to about 1/3 of all my images. I had to reupload them in
order for thumbnails to generate.
I am trying to drop the bullets from the navigation menu. I dropped the
callout in the css but they are still showing up. Is this something that
is hard coded somewhere?

I just upgraded our Wiki (http://wiki.lib.uconn.edu/wiki/) to version
1.5rc3. When I try to login, I get a message:
Wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please
enable them and try again.
Even though I get the message, I actually get logged into the Wiki and
can freely edit pages.
I'm not blocking cookies, and I've tried IE and Firefox on several
different machines. I've also tried specifying to accept cookies from
our Wiki. I tried removing all cookies, etc. Nothing works.
A similar problem was reported here with no resolution:
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Bug_reports#Login_cookie_problems
Has anyone seen this problem before? Feel free to try it out on our Wiki
if you like.

Hi,
Is it possible to create new namespaces for our own mediawiki project ?
I tried to add to the list of Namespace.php, Language.php and
Languagefr.php my new ns, but it appears like (article) in
Special:Allpages, and if i tried to create a new article
MyNewNS:something, it brings me to the main ns -> something.
What else modifications do i have to do ?
Thanks for help

I know my webhost has it set up wrong, because I've installed it on my personal web server on my computer. Can you give me some info on what to tell my web host to fix the problem?
