The CVS repository on SourceForge is no longer being used. Send me a SSH public
key so I can set you up with SVN access.

I must be completely stupid, but I can't seem to create a special page for
mediawiki 1.5.8 following any flavor of the instructions on Meta - Help!!!
On another note, I had previously been all excited about this theory that
spam would tend to be a lot of urls posted in a wiki (or accross several
wikis) and that posts of individual urls would be more likely to be
legitimate. After mangling some data (an long overdue thatnks, Brion, for
the link to the catpcha log data) I quickly came to the conclusion that this
theory wasn't going to be useful - plenty of spam of one or two urls, and
some mulitple posts of legitimate urls. Oh well... the captcha thing is a
great solution though.
So, if someone could steer me in the right direction on the special pages,
I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Aerik

Hi.
Using WikiMedia, I've got problems to access my main Page:
http://mydomain/Main_Page
And I get an error message:
----
/Main_Page
>From MyWiki, the free encyclopedia.
(There is currently no text in this page)
Retrieved from "http://mydomain.com//Main_Page"
------
I use this RewriteRule on my httpd.conf:
-------
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1
--------
Why I get a double slash on the URL?
Thank you very much.
Hello Everybody,
I have tried in vain searching around but haven't found a solution for
my problem. Hence my post here.
I am attempting to use the url found below to make my wiki(located on
an intranet) a)look pretty b)make sphyder my indexing tool work
better. I use the method outlined in section 1.1
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Make_non-ugly_URLs
I am running on solaris 2.8, apache 2.0.55 and php 4.4.0 & mysql
5.0.15. I have a stock install of mediawiki(1.5.7). I have no major
changes to the mediawiki instance that I am able to recall.
I made the changes to LocalSettings.php and http.conf and restarted
the web server. This is where I run into these weird problems. I
further emptied the cache in all my browsers(Opera, Firefox & IE), and
further truncated the objectcache table.
1. The skin changes. I prefer the monobook default skin, but after
the change outlined above I get the really simple skin version of the
wiki. No amount of changing user preferences seem to help.
2. The user settings totally go out of wack. I am unable to either
login if I am not logged in, nor am I able to log out if I am logged
out into the wiki.
I have tried in vain to diagnose the issues, but to no avail. Any
help is GREATLY appreciated.
Further is there any where I can take a peek at LocalSettings.php and
httpd.conf for a similar setup from any of the popular mediawiki based
web sites(or even wikipedia.org or mediawiki.org) and see the
differences vis a vis my site.

Before I release a formal 1.6.0, I'd like if a few people would quickly test
installation of the current snapshot.
Generally 1.6 is working quite nice on our own servers, but the installation and
updater code might not be as well exercised. I've done a few basic smoke tests
on my own, but a few more under different conditions might be wise before we
make a fuss about The Big Release.
Download:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/snapshots/mediawiki-snapshot-20060404.tar.gz
MD5 checksum: 352de479b8eada133de1247badd3677a
Release notes (not finalized):
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/RELEASE-NOTES
As a reminder, we're planning to start on a quarterly snapshot release schedule;
about every three months we'll take what's currently running, branch it off and
release it. Security updates will continue to be made on those release branches
for some time, but feature development and non-essential bugfixes generally will
go on the mainline and be available in the next quarterly release.
So 1.7 is tentatively scheduled for July; 1.8 for October, 1.9 (?) for January, etc.

Since SourceForge's developer CVS has been down for a couple days solid, I've
gone ahead and set up our own source control server.
The repo is now running on Subversion, and for the moment is running on my
offsite server (along with the wikitech server work status wiki). We may later
move it onto one of Wikimedia's servers.
The repo includes all revisions and branches from the old CVS archive, and
anonymous access will be immediate unlike the delay after commits that we had on
CVS.
I've whipped up a few quick notes here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Subversion
At the moment only myself and avar have commit access, but I can add more people
shortly once we have it better set up. Commit notifications by email and IRC are
working; the viewcvs-ish thing isn't quite working yet.
[No this is not an April Fool's joke. The surprise outage due to hardware
failure on SourceForge's CVS server has seriously cramped our ability to work
the last couple days, so I moved up the schedule a little.]

Hi, buddies. The Chinese Wikimedia users need some technical help from
the developers at the Foundation.
As everyone here believes, the government of P.R. China has blocked
access to all Wikimedia sites using its "Great Firewall"; Wikimedia
contributors and users in Mainland China have to use proxies to visit
Wikimedia sites. However, most of these proxies are unstable, so
CNBlog.org (a famous and prominent advocacy of blogosphere in China
operated by Social Brian Foundation, which hosted the First Chinese
Blogger Conference last year) has setup a stable proxy for Chinese
users.
With this service, Mainland Chinese users can access Chinese Wikipedia
using http://wikipedia.cnblog.org, and Chinese Wikinews using
http://wikinews.cnblog.org. There are over 16,000 visits and over
110,000 page requests per day this month. CNBlog.org has been very
helpful to Chinese users, and it is planning to expand its proxy
service to cover all Chinese Wikimedia projects, which is really great
news.
Unfortunately, Chinese Wikimedia administrators are frowned upon an
issue that came up recently: lots of vandalism is done using the
CNBlog proxy. Currently, the IP of the CNBlog proxy is displayed and
logged in edit history on Wikimedia. If an administrator blocks this
IP (CNBlog proxy), all Mainland Chinese users who are using CNBlog
proxy, either logged-in or not, will be blocked as well and not be
able to contribute.
Some Chinese Wikipedians discussed this issue with CNBlog.org, and we
believe that a technical solution should be feasible. We also
discussed some technical details, and I will send another e-mail to
wikitech-l regarding the details. Basically, we would like to have
users' real IP (IP used to access CNBlog proxy) displayed and logged
at Wikimedia.
We send this e-mail to here on behalf of many Chinese users. We hope
to have kind attention and help from the Foundation. Thank you very
much.

Hi all,
I'm going mad. I simply want to insert some text like: A("B") within
an expression contained within <MATH> tags. Is this even possible? The
closest I can do is using double single quotes, which produces a weird
effect.
How do I do it? The article in question is [[en:Diagonal lemma]].
Thanks,
Steve
