How to change license and language after installation?
by Kiss All 16 Oct '04

16 Oct '04

Hi,all Originally, I just chosed the license of our internal medawiki as GFDL. But our group memebers don't think it is proper for the actual content. Could anybody tell me how to change it? I also installed mediawiki 1.3.5 on my personal machine with chinese language option. But the help link is linking to english wikipedia site's bad title page. I don't want to hack the sidebar and only want to switch to english. How can I do this? -- Be good..

MediaWiki 1.3.6 upgrade performance
by Paul Sinnett 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

I've just upgraded from 1.3.3 and I now have a big reduction in performance. I checked my raw access logs and it seems that for each GET of a page it does a dozens of GET's on title=User:Paul_Sinnett/monobook.css&action... title=User:Paul_Sinnett/monobook.js&action... title=-&action... Is this normal? I don't have any of these pages defined but it takes about 10 seconds to make these attempts.

Customising Search Results page
by Cian Duffy 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

Hi I've got a MediaWiki server running as a collaborative document writing system here, but the users are moaning about the way required to start a new page Over on the WikiPedia, the Search function gives you the option to start a new page if the title you searched for does not exist. I cannot find any way to activate this on MediaWiki. Is it an option I've missed, or does it require serious code changing? Cian

Reset user's skin preferences
by Chuck Bishop 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

Hi, I have a user account whose browser comes up blank after they changed their skin to Nostalgia. I've noticed that there's a Reset preferences button in the Special:Preferences page(which they can not see), however, I can not capture the command it's issuing. Do you know what it is? Or how to reset their skin? I'm using MediaWiki 1.3.3 on Linux.

Thumbnails won't generate
by Ashami 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

I can upload and display images fine. However, when I use the "thumb" feature, or give a pixel size smaller than the original, it shows a missing picture. The thumbnail frame generates, as well as any other commands...just no image. Safe mode is off. I don't know what else to try...

How to load "Help:Contents"?
by Jim Vanderveen 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

Hey all, I'm installing mediawiki (1.3.5), got everything up and running okay, but the "Help" link in the Navigation bar on the left side of the window takes me to an empty page. It looks like I need to load the Help:Contents from Meta into my local database. Did I miss something in the installation instructions? Can somebody point me to some instructions for this? Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, but I haven't been able to find it. I have read all the FAQ's I could find, installation instructions on Meta (and other wikis), and googling for "help:contents" (or some variation) only seems to return the actual help pages, NOT how to install them. FYI, the server is running FreeBSD 4.10 PHP 4.3.6 (cli) (built: Apr 29 2004 01:16:17) Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.18, for portbld-freebsd4.10 (i386) Any help would be greatly appreciated!
