The Wikimedia Foundation website, the mediawiki software page says:
"MediaWiki development
The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit foundation registered
in the state of Florida which operates Wikipedia (a free encyclopedia
in over 50 languages), Wiktionary (a free dictionary), Wikisource (a
collection of public domain or FDL-licensed texts), Wikibooks (free
textbooks for schools and universities), and Wikiquote (a collection
of notable quotations).
All these projects are based on wiki technology: they are open
knowledge bases which can be improved by anyone. This is the homepage
of the underlying open source wiki engine, MediaWiki, which is
developed here on SourceForge via CVS, and is available under the GNU
General Public License (the contents of the Wikimedia wikis themselves
are licensed under the GNU FDL). "
I was wondering if anyone can clarify the last line of this page. Is
it saying that any content created on any installation of the
Wikimedia software is automatically licensed under the GNU FDL?
Specifically, if I wanted to install and use Wikimedia software
privately to write a book or whatever, is that content immediately
licensed by the GNU FDL or am I free to copyright content on a private
installation however I wish?
Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Matt
I had to do a manual upgrade. I put in all the relevant info, and
double-checked accuracy. When I try to run the wiki, I get the
following errors:
__________

The Wiki was working just fine before all this. What the hell is going
on? Thank you for your assisstance.

Good news. Thanks to the input from mediawiki group, I got google adsense
installed and working, and I was able to add the navigation links I wanted
at www.peswiki.com
The links are a temporary work-around and will not work with the other
languages. So I need to figure out how to configure the whole thing
beginning to end. Can be another day.

I'm having problems with a brand new installation of mediawiki (v

Based on my research, it may be a MySQL-related issue, or a browser
issue. It seems obvious that the wrong characters are getting put into
template files. But, checking the database using phpMyAdmin to browse
records, it 'seems like' I was the last one editing the site, so I'm
puzzled to find there errors about 24 hours later. I am using Mozilla
1.6 (actually Mozilla Debian Package 1.6-5) on Debian, and may have also
used Firefox 0.8 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8). I would guess that these browsers work
correctly with wikimedia.
Is there some way to delete the tmp folder files to have the application
regenerate the templates in cache? This is hosted, so I can't just
delete everything in /tmp
Thanks,
Greg
Hi,
I just installed mediawiki a week ago. I love the product, but
something seems to be very wrong with the sql databases on which the
wiki is driven. I've gotten corruption about 5 times already. Now,
when I browse to the wiki server, Firefox doesn't even return an empty
page, it looks like php is hanging or crashing (not sure which).
Is there any way to somewhat manually recover data from the databases?
Is there any way to meaningfully export and re-import the data?
Thanks,
-Nick Triantos
p.s. - I'm running mysql 4.0.18 on FreeBSD 4.10. Really no idea why the
databases keep going corrupt. I just updated to mysql 4.0.20 in hopes
that that'll prevent future problems.
Hi,
I have wikipedia 1.3.1 running on my site. Everything looks great on
Firefox, but when I try it with IE 6, the main logo (which I have
changed from the original MediaWiki logo) appears at the very top of the
page, with no padding on top as it appears on Firefox.
The funny thing is that if the page loads slowly, the logo first appears
correctly, with space on top, and then it actually moves up. I figure
from that that it happens when the extra CSS are loaded, maybe
IE60Fixes.css, but I couldn't find anything on those CSSs that would
affect p-logo, the class used for the logo.
You can hopefully see this at <http://seattlewiki.org>
Any CSS gurus out there that can elucidate this purely cosmetic issue?
Thanks,
matias
Hi,
I would like to import / export data with mediawiki. I'm thinking to do
that in php at database level.
Where should I start ?
It there any mediawiki extension programming information somewhere ?
Or any related development which could help me ?
Regards,

Hi Peter,
Mozilla isn't accepting the stylesheet at:
http://www.invariant.org/media/stylesheets/monobook/main.css
The reason for this is your webserver is sending that file with a
content-type of "text/plain", not "text/css". I have tested this on my own
installation, and causes the same problem.
I notice your webserver is Apache 1.3.26. There should therefore be a
"mime.types" file - probably in the same place as your httpd.conf. This
should have the line:
text/css css
Have a look to see if there is any other line ending with the "css" file
extension already, and change it to look like the one above. Otherwise, add
the above line to mime.types.
Regards,
Oliver

As I study the code in the template/xhtml_slimt.pt document, I'm stumped as
to how the syntax relates to how the files are named for the end user.
The file [[Main_Page]] for the end user, in the wiki, points to the home
page of the wiki.
But in the xhtml_slimt.pt file, that page is defined as follows:
<li id="n-mainpage"><a href="${nav_urls/mainpage/href}"
i18n:translate="string:mainpage">Main Page</a></li>
What I want to do is add more links in the navigation box to the main
departments at peswiki.com
To wit:
*[[Main_Page|Main Page]]
*[http://pureenergysystems.com PES Home]
*[[Top10]]
*[[News]]
*[[Current events|Events]]
*[[OS|Open source energy]]
*[[Directory]]
*[[PowerPedia|Encyclopedia]]
*[[Academy]]
*[[Store]]
*[[Classifieds]]
*[[Latest]]
*[[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]]
*[[Special:Randompage|Random page]]
Your assistance in helping figure out how the syntax works would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
Sterling
