Customizing the sidebar
by Verhoeven, Peter 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Hi, I tried to add a link to our corporate intranet portal in the sidebar of mediawiki as described in the manual. I edit the mediawiki:sidebar page and add a line ** http://www.example.com \ Portal to the page. After saving the page I do not see the Portal link in the sidebar. If I add a header like: * Imprortant links It is visible in the sidebar after saving the page. We are also looking for solutions to add more content to the sidebar, like search boxes for our enterprise search,google search and corporate people search engines. Any suggestions?

The Zpravodaj journal
by Pavel STRIZ 10 Jul '09

Good afternoon, I help with collecting articles for the Zpravodaj journal of the Czech TeXists (http://bulletin.cstug.cz/). Would it be interesting for you to prepare an English article on MediaWiki and its relation to TeX (generally speaking, TeX-related staff is welcome) and let us publish it in this journal? Please let us know what you think about this idea. We look forward hearing from you. Pavel Striz

Enterprise MediaWiki
by David Macdonald 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Hi all, This list seems to have become idle. Have people stopped using MediaWiki in enterprises? :-) I've noticed that a lot of work has been done recently on an "industrialization guide": http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Industrialization_guide I think pages like this are really useful. Over the past few years I've discovered extensions in a piecemeal fashion.... stumbling across LDAP Authentication or SimpleSecurity or Semantic Mediawiki/Forms, and wishing I had found them sooner. To have a single page targeted at enterprise use definitely makes things easier. However, I think we can go one better..... Why not a MediaWiki package/distribution targeted at enterprise use? It would include: * MediaWiki * Extensions that are useful for enterprise use * A default configuration suitable for enterprise use If this is already being done please point me in that direction. Dave.

Considering Wiki for a Canadian E-learning Project
by Jeremie Legault 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

To whom it may concern, As the IT Manager of the Canadian Council on Learning I was approached by a Director in our Organization interested in use a Wiki for the folowing project (please see his email below). He was interested in http://wikigender.org/ that seemed to layout his mental picture for his project. If possible I would like to discuss Wiki with someone who has used it, implemented and maintained in an effort to understand all that is involve with Wiki and what we can expect to gain from it. Thanks Jeremie Legault 613-786-3230 ext.233 jlegault(a)ccl-cca.ca ________________________________ Thanks again for this, Jeremie. At this moment, we are still just exploring the feasibility and whether a Wiki on e-learning would be a good vehicle to disseminate and, most importantly, to engage stakeholders and the users community in 'connecting' on this topic. One of the recommendations of the E-Learning (to be released probably before the summer) is to generate a momentum on e-learning in Canada, sharing of resources (including creating a clearing house on e-learning research and links). From what I can see, it occurred to me that a wiki may be a good way to start addressing such recommendation. In regards to populating the wiki, we may be able to ask our colleagues in (Montreal) to assist us in identifying relevant materials that the wiki could have before we lunch it publically. So, I guess, at this moment, I am interested in finding out the cost implications from a system point of view (eg - is there a software or license costs ? server ? etc). Also, from what I heard, there are public wikis and closed wikis where materials are being posted and reviewed by authorized assess only. Some organizations have both. I can also talk to as well to find out how successful those wikis are from a Communication point of view. So, overall, my 'vision' is that CCL could be the 'catalyst' to get it started but then we will need to find out how could maintain it later once it is up and running (we may ask for example). Thanks in advance

LdapAutoAuthentication::Authenticate failed to return a value
by Ken Keefe 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

I've setup a Kerberos/OpenLDAP SSO solution for my group. I'm trying to get mediawiki to authenticate against the kerberos server and use LDAP to get simple user information (like their name and maybe email address). My goal is to not allow new user accounts to be created or anonymous edits and views on the wiki. I have mod_auth_kerb setup and working correctly. I'm getting an error message from mediawiki that I can't figure out. Here is the message: Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'LdapAutoAuthentication::Authenticate' was given in /srv/web/mediawiki-1.13.3/includes/Hooks.php on line 117 Internal error Detected bug in an extension!

I'm using the latest mediawiki (1.13.3) and Ldap_Authentication extension 1.2a. Let me know if I can provide any other info to help diagnose this error. I really appreciate the work you've done on the extension and the support! Thanks, Ken -- Forti et Fideli nihil difficile – Nothing is difficult to the brave and faithful.

Hello and onto an ACL question.
by Sergei Frankoff 13 May '08

13 May '08

Hello all, I have been charged with looking into access control implementations for media wiki and was directed to this list by some folks on IRC. Basically our company has a small internal wiki that is fractured by department we want to roll it out company wide but in order to do that we will need to implement access control (possibly linked to LDAP). Does such an extension already exist for media wiki? Is there something similar being developed? Any suggestions are most welcome. Thank you for your time, Sergei

Australian Wiki study in Small to Medium Enterprise
by Stuart French 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Hello, Does your company have between 10 and 250 employees and is using a Wiki? As part completing my Masters of Knowledge Management I am looking for companies who have implemented a corporate Wiki (successfully or not) that would like to take part in an exploratory study as the basis of my research thesis. If you are interested I would appreciate hearing from you. Your company should preferably be in Melbourne, Australia, however if you are in Sydney, Perth or Adelaide and feel your experiences could help others I would be willing to travel. The study focuses on Australian cultural and strategic influences on the implementation of Wikis in corporate environments and would involve a half hour group interview with two or three users. This would probably take place in the coming weeks. It is a closed study so the results would undergo ethics testing to ensure privacy is preserved and I am happy to discuss any concerns you may have in this area. As such, if you are interested, I would appreciate you contacting me emailing me (sjfrenc(a)gmail.com), or calling on 0411 797-781 (Australia). Hopefully your contributions will aid others trying to use this powerful technology in the future. I have facilitated a successful implementation of a Confluence Wiki site over the past 12 months and would be happy to impart my knowledge as part of the process. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, Stuart French University of South Australia www.linkedin.com/in/stuartfrench

Usage Reporting Package?
by Brian A. Seklecki 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

All: Has anyone implemented any usage reporting systems? Daily/weekly/ monthly periodic analysis? - Something to track daily page creations / changes counts. - List new users - Maybe also fetch and deliver excerpts from housekeeping special:pages like: Special:Recentchanges Special:Newpages Special:Lonelypages - Pages with no link to them, orpaned Special:Deadendpages - Pages that have no external links Special:Uncategorizedpages - Pages lacking a category Special:Wantedpages Special:BrokenRedirects Special:Wantedcategories Dead End Pages ... A lot of this could be gleaned from the xml.php API system -- a small PHP script using xml_*() functions could parse it out into human readable pages. Thoughts? Thanks, -- Brian A.
