$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?

Hi there,
I am using Lucene-Search 2.1/MWSearch for my MediaWiki 1.15.1.
It's working fine, but it can't search any Japanese characters.
I have tried (language,ja) in the lsearch-global.conf file, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any idea would be appreciated,
Ross

Hi,
I have been trying to create a maintainable way of grouping pages
together and allowing readers to page through them in sequence. Most
samples I've seen use templates that require you to supply the
'previous' and 'next' page. This however results in three page edits
to insert a new page between two existing pages and does not guarantee
that your prev-sequence is identical to the next-sequence...
Being a programmer, that is way too much duplicate and error-prone
work for me ;-) There must be a better way to do this and I was hoping
to solve it with a plain MW installation (with ParserFunctions and
DynamicPageList at the moment).
Given an 'index' page that holds a list of all page titles in the
preferred order, isn't it possible to create a template that selects
the correct previous and next page title given the current page title?
I get stuck in getting the correct lines from the index page. DPL can
select based on section name (= page title), but then the contents of
that index section must be the prev/next links themselves:
=First Page=
Prev [[Second Page|Next]]
=Second Page=
[[First Page|Prev]] [[Third Page|Next]]
=Third Page=
.. etc.
This works, except that it is still a lot of duplication of page names
(but the edits are contained in a single page, big plus).
I hoped to simplify the index page by creating a template that writes
the section header and prev/next links, but then DPL no longer
recognizes the sections :-( Apparently DPL 'sees' the page text before
the templates are called ({{Page|Prev page|Page title|Next page}}:
{{Page||First Page|Second Page}}
{{Page|First Page|Second Page|Third Page}}
{{Page|Second Page|Third Page|Fourth Page}}
Basically my questions are:
1. Am I completely off track here?
2. Can DPL be coerced to evaluate templates before looking at the page
3. Can DPL (or another extension) select the text from a section
before/after a matched section?
4. Is it possible to determine the section sequence number given the
section name (so 'Second Page' results in 2, allowing me to use DPL to
retrieve the name of section 2 -/- 1 and 2 + 1 to create the prev/next
links?
Apologies for the long post, hopefully someone can point me to some
good resources (I've been to Meta, Wikibooks, Medawiki.org but could
very well have overlooked something there as the amount of info is a
bit overwhelming and it is difficult to judge how up to date it is).

Hi all, hi Bernard... probably, my response is a bit late, but I spent
time reading (hopefully!) carefully all the answers...
Thus, my 0,02$:
I think that probably the correct question is: "Please convince me to
make my business model" :-)
I agree with others that probably, the SaaS business models require
closed source. Thus, probably, no choice...
IMHO the open source software implies a different business model,
something similar to "partnership".
Good luck, honestly,
Giuseppe Briotti.

Hi,
As a Wiki SysOp user, I am looking for extension(s) for the following two
requirement:
1. The SysOp user should get an email whenever a new page is created on the
wiki
2. The SysOp user can send an email to all the existing wiki users.
I am using Mediawiki 1.12 and I don't think these features are there in the
version that I am using.
Thanks
I deleted one hundred pages via the API, but they still all appear blue
and listed alphabetically in the Category they were in. When you click
thru, you get to a "This page has been deleted" notice.
I tried running some of the maintenance scripts (runJobs, refreshLinks,
updateArticleCount, rebuildrecentchanges), none of them had any
effect. What did work was opening the category page to edit it, and
then resaving.
"?action=purge" also works. Is there a maintence script which will
accomplish this for all/some pages?

hi,
our mediawiki 1.15.1 has the following problem:
watching, navigating, searching,... everything works fine but whenever
we try to edit a page we run into dificulties since the last few days:
the browser stops after a while - showing an empty page. no edit-window,
no error-message, ...strange! :-(
FF leaves an empty page.
IE says: (the german version of) the website could not be shown.
i tried debugging:
- apache-log: nothing in error_log nor access_log
- LocalSettings.php: "$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;" - nothing shown.
i have to add, that the wiki is one of a wiki-family
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family); the others are
working fine.
does anybody know how to find out what's going on there? any help is
appreciated.
kind regards
jens
