Dear Wiki masters,
I am trying to make every page on my Wiki site link to a corresponding page
title on another Wiki (I have interwiki links set-up fine). Ideally I'd like
to use something like this in a template to link to the corresponding page
in the OtherWiki that has the same page title:
[[OtherWiki:{{{Page_Title}}}]]
This would (in my ideal world) then use the title of the page that the
template was called from to link to the interwiki using that page's title.
Is this possible? If not using template how about in the page itself?
Forgive me if this is obvious - I am just new at wiki configurations, and my
research so far has turned up very little.
Best wishes,
Scott

Maybe templates should be HTML-cleaned as independent entities before
transclusion / substitution into the larger page? Or would that not work
because the code doesn't work that way, or break existing uses?

What the heck happened with signatures since last night? There's a heap of
complaints on [[en:WP:VPT]] from people with complicated, and indeed
not-so-complicated, signatures, which suddenly stopped resolving properly.
My sig is fairly simple: up to a few minutes ago it was non-raw, and
consisted of "Phil]] | [[User talk:Phil Boswell|Talk", which when wrapped
with the traditional "[[User:..." and "]]" worked fine. I have now converted
it to raw and filled in the supposedly automatic bits by hand.
As far as I can tell, the pipe and "[[" symbols after the "]]" were being
converted into numeric HTML entities.
Is this some feature which has blown up in our faces, or has somebody been
fiddling with code, or what?

Hi,
I have set up a company wiki over the last couple of weeks. I have tried to
us the <nowiki></nowiki> tage to display the wiki formatting, but it doesnt
seem to work. eg if it type:
<nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki> expecting to get '''bold'''
I get *bold* instead.
I assume that this is the parser that does this. Is there a configuration
file that can enable or disable this function?
I have incorporated the FCKeditor into the wiki...could this have broken
something? However, the page i am editing is not using HTML.
Regards
Jason
I'm trying to set up a PHP-Page including articles from my mediawiki and also want to submit articles to the wiki through my page.
Because I dont like to manipulate the mediawikis database, I tried to implement the html form that is used while editing the mediawiki so it will work the same way on my page aswell and encountered some problems.
What kind of possibilities do I have to insert/get data from the mediawiki using an API (method calls)?
I'm using Mediawiki 1.5.2
Thanks for your help :)

I'm looking to replace the Wikimedia Project icon (located at the bottom
left of the mediawiki pages: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki) with
another icon within my intranet wiki. I believe I made all the necessary
changes within the files (Skin.php, SkinTemplate.php, Monobook.php,
Commonprint.css, Monobook/main.css) but my icon still isn't showing up. Am I
missing an adjustment/addition in a specific file, and is the Wikimedia
Project icon called as copyrightico?

hi,
I did something wrong, and now I end up with :
src="<a href="http:
in some links.
I've also noticed the **class='external free'** attribute in these
catastrophic links. Can someone tell me in which function the 'external
free" attribute is set ?
Thanks a lot for any help

I know that tools like mwdumper don't have the ability to upload and import
images from wikipedia, so I was wondering if anyone has written a script in
PHP or know of any other tools that perform this functionality. I found this
topic discussed here:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2005-May/029745.html
with someone stating they were working on a PHP script to do this, but I
guess it never happened or it would have probably been passed around within
the community. Anyone have any additional information on this issue?

Get coding :-D
(This is a really nice idea, IMO, and would save much of the forests
of redirects and annoyance of double redirects.)
