Thanks Brion,
Slight problem: I can't find any reference to "initial_textarea" nor
"initial textarea" where exactly should I be looking?
I'm running 1.4beta4 could it have been renamed or am I just being
dim? (it's friday, it's late, I'm tired - so it's probably me)

Hi,
Is it possible to put headings into the edit window of a new page?
So when someone creates a new page the form is already populated with
some headings and notes rather than just a blank page?
They don't have to be fixed - of course users should be able to delete
them if they want... but it would be useful for my wiki to encourage
users to use the same basic structure for new pages.
Any tips or suggestions would be very welcome.

An extension to this suggestion:
Templates make sense in the context of categories.
One could associate tamplates to categories,
and offer for a new article the list of categories
that have templates.

Hi,
I created an extension to insert into an article JavaScript Code.
But if I insert more lines of code it doesn't work because when I visualize HTML code of the page, there are soma P tags between different line of JavaScript code.
There is some setting to change?
Thanks.

Dear Developers,
I need to clarify some things, because the amount of complaints is going
into a wrong direction, which does not please me, as I wanted to support
the MediaWiki project, not to slow it down.
As my two "babies" (see subject) are now merged into the CVS-HEAD
version (on 18.12.2004) and some people are still complaining this and
that instead of acknowledging the efforts, I kindly ask those of you
being interested in my enhancements - which are running quietly and
stable on my four wikis without a single problem since August 2004:
to consider to visit http://meta.wikipedia.org/Enotif , to try a fresh
checkout from the CVS HEAD version and to contact me if you have
problems or to tell me, that and how you like it. There are
http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454 for ENotif and
http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866 for EAuthent ,
however, I prefer direct e-mail contact, because I can answer quicker.
Please be reminded and check first:
============================
There are two commonly reported pitfalls (not problems): 1. You do
***not*** get any e-mail notifications for your own changes: you can
test the e-notification only if you commit page changes as another user
(e.g. anonymous). 2. You must have ***stored*** an E-mail address -
obviously - to receive notifications. If also EAuthent was enabled
during installation, you need to have the address ***authenticated***,
which status is always shown in your user preferences.
I am pretty convinced that you will like it. If you have concrete
proposals for ameliorations, please carefully read the existing list on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Email_notification_to-do_list . This page
lists not only to-do items, but also the existing user proposals.

Hello all,
The Translate Toolkit folks have set up a web portal where you can
distribute the translation of a set of strings (like the interface for
a piece of software). What do people think about using this to help
translate Mediawiki ?

Hi
Does anyone know a source code highlighting plugin for Wikimedia?
Something like <php>...some php source...</php> should simply highlight
the PHP keywords.

My idea is to transform the discussion pages to a real forum, as known
from phpBB, Woltlab Burning Board or vBulletin.
So each article would have one subforum, in which everyone can create a
new thread. Other users can answer these threads or create new ones. It
should only be possible to edit your own posts but not the ones from others.
The forum structure could be like this:
-Wikipedia Forum
--Wikipedia intern
---Bugreports
---Proposals and criticism
--Articles
---(Subforum for each article)
--Users
---(Subforum for each users)
--Portals
---(Subforum for each portal)
and so on...
I think this way the discussions would be much more effective and
purposeful.
At the the top of each discussion page there could be a notice where you
are at the moment:
You are here: [Wikipedia Forum] -> [Articles] -> [Foobar] -> [Delete
this article?]
The most important thing is that the discussion is really organized in
forums, subforums, threads and posts, EXACTLY the way it is in the known
Burning Boards.
Because currently you hardly find ever a real discussion, i.e. about
feature requests. Many people out there have fantastic ideas how to
improve wikipedia ... so a real discussion forum would be great.
Or when somebody just doesnt understand a part of an article, he could
just start a new thread in the article's forum and get an answer...
Some example for Burning Boards:
http://www.streamboard.to/forum -- Example for vBulletin
http://www.woltlab.de/de/forum/ -- Example for wBB
Whats your opinion?
