$wgDBtransactions gets set to true if using InnoDB tables. Is there
an advantage to using InnoDB tables?
The disadvantage is that with MySQL there is a file, ibdata1, that
seems to grow endlessly if InnoDB tables are used. See
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=1341
We're wondering if we should just convert everything to MyISAM. Any
thoughts?

Hi all,
I've created some custom namespaced on one of my wikis, Botwiki
(previously known as pywikipedia).
I've put these lines in my LocalSettings.php file:
- ---
#Custom namespaces
$wgExtraNamespaces =
array(100 => "Manual",
101 => "Manual talk",
102 => "Python",
103 => "Python talk",
104 => "Php",
105 => "Php talk",
106 => "Perl",
107 => "Perl talk",
108 => "AWB",
109 => "AWB talk",
110 => "IRC",
111 => "IRC talk",
112 => "Other",
113 => "Other talk"
);
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 100;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 102;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 104;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 106;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 108;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 110;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 112;
- ---
However, I have a big problem: when I go to a page in one of these new
namespaces (not the discussion, the main ones), for example
http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Perl:Copyright_Violation_Bot , I found the
red link to the discussion page. It's right, as there is no discussion
page for that article. But if you click on it, it brings you to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a…
correct, of course. But have a look of the article and discussion tabs:
they are both red! The first, "article", leads to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a…
when it should lead to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Perl:Copyright_Violation_Bot and the second,
"discussion", leads to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Talk:Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_…
, when it should lead to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a…
.
It's the first time I deal with custom namespaces :-( but I have some
ideas of what it can be. Can the problem be with the
$wgContentNamespaces settings? So it detects everything as ns0? (don't
think so).
Or can it be the fact that I haven't used an underscore in the
$wgExtraNamespaces definition?

I want to moving all pages in a certain namespace (about 60 pages) into
the the "main" namespace. I couldn't find how to do this, so I tried
exporting the pages and importing them and I ran into all sorts of
problems. Is there a way to do what I want without using the import and
export features (and without having to move each of them manually)?
Thanks.
Hello everybody,
When I search after some terms, which have not been defined yet, or after editing an entry (but not always???), I get the following error message:
Database error
>From MiWiki
For query "sales"
Jump to: navigation, search
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "". MySQL returned error "1030: Got error 127 from storage engine (localhost)".
Has anybody had this error before? How may I fix it?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and best regards,
Veronica
P.S: I found a similar message at the The Wikitech-l Archives, but in my case no table name was written, so what shall I do????

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

Hi
I've tried posting about this problem on the extension's talk page, but to
no avail.
I'm using the 'Variables' extension:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Variables
which creates the variable {{CURRENTUSER}}.
When I simply insert all of the code provided into LocalSettings.php, it
works fine. However, if, as suggested, I instead only insert the line:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/MyVariables/MyVariables.php" );
at the bottom of the LocalSettings.php file, and place the code in the file
'MyVariables.php' in the folder 'MyVariables' in the folder 'extensions',
then it doesn't work - the layout of the wiki pages just becomes a bit
broken-up and there are several lines of code superimposed along the top of
every page.
I've double-checked every step of the process and can't find any errors.
Can anyone see why the extension would work the first way but not the
second?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
I am posting here for people that might be interested in running
Mediawiki on a nomad home / intranet server.
I developped scripts to remaster Ubuntu Hardy (and soon Debian Lenny)
Live CD so that to make Live CD (Demo purpose only) or Live USB
(functionnal version) which provide web services of open source web
applications.
The Cooperation-IWS Live USB allows you to have a ready to run server
contained on a usb key or a usb hard drive.
Proposed Mediawiki module is version 1.12.0 (Actual) and other
applications are also proposed:
Gallery2, Wordpress, KnowledgeTree, Nuxeo, PhpBB3, Mantis, Zenphoto,
Moodle, Cacti, snort, base, ossec, net2ftp, webmin, samba, ssh, ...
As I am not a Mediawiki user myself (for the moment), only the bare
install is proposed and I am waiting for demands to add more
functionnalities.
Cooperation-iws is under GPL2.
A demo Live CD or Live USB version is also available.
The blog's project address is here:

Hello,
My wiki (wikignole.be) has a limited db (max 45 MB). At the moment, the db
is almost full (44mo). So i have to reduce it. I tried to compress the old
revisions but i didn't earn a lot of storage. The best solution would be to
split the db on two or three different databases. I found this page
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDefaultExternalStore who seem to be
a solution (the number of bases is not a problem).
I tried to do it (i edited DefaultSettings.php ) but don't succeed to fin
the good configuration (i tried login:pass@adress but it failed).
Could someone help me?
Regards,
Nicolas
Hi all,
When I try to post to Semantic Mediawiki's mailing list my mails gets
rejected with the following message in "Undelivered Mail Returned to
Sender":
<semediawiki-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net <http://mail.rilnet.com/src/compose.php?send_to=semediawiki-devel%40lists.so…>>: host

have a postmaster 550-mailbox for each mail domain. This host does not
accept mail 550-from domains whose servers reject the postmaster address.

What is "550-Several RFCs", and what does "postmaster 550-mailbox" mean?
I tried to post the message placed at the end of this post. Perhaps
someone here knows the answer or can give a hint how I can post it in
the appropriate mailing list .

Hi all,
Being new to Semantic Mediawiki I'm trying out things. I
now need to pick single values from properties on a
Settings page.
How do I ask in order to get a single value, as opposed
to a list of values. Example: Data exist on a page named
and categorized as SystemSettings:
SystemSettings:
------------------------------------
* [[Company_name::<name>]]
* [[Founded_in::<year>]]
* etc.
[[Category:SystemSettings]]
------------------------------------
Now, from another page I'd like to retrieve and display the
value of the property SystemSettings->Company_name, using a
template for formatting, like so (somehow asking for the
value, I don't know how though...):
------------------------------------
{{get property value|companyname=
{{#ask: ...<single settings page> and its
property <company name?>...
}}
}}
------------------------------------
How can I "pick" a single value from a property on a
particular page?
Is there any documentation page out there with a complete
reference explaining the syntax for different use cases like
this?
Regards,
// Rolf Lampa
