Hello,
Is it possible to enable uploads of images only by sysops? (It probably
is, but some pointers in how to do that are very appreciated)

Dear Media-wiki hackers and users,
I'd like to create a new markup for a TeX wiki:
<command>\mycommand</command>
or
<command>mycommand</command>
(wich ever would be easier to program)
should link to an external http server:
http://server.com/cmd=mycommand
It would be totally nice if it opens a smaller window, some kind of
"pop up". In that window I'd like to display a syntactic description
of the command \mycommand.
Any ideas?
Patrick
(btw: I'll install the latest mediwiki now)
hey guys,

remove entrys).

*** repeated and updated mail ***
(update)
We have developed a reasonable scheme for page change notifications.
Please be patient until the patch is published (a few days) or send me
directly your further ideas (not via the mailing list, please). Tom
BRION & MAGNUS:
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME TO "DELIVER" THE PATCH (based on version
1.3.1) ? Shall I use "diff", do you have a wiki, where I can place patch
and documentation and re-edit it later ?
HOW DOES PAGE CHANGE NOTIFICATION (PCNOTIF) WORK ?
User X gets a short E-Mail:
(1) when someone changes a page listed in his/her user X's watch list.
At the moment, *all* pages in the watchlist (the standard and unmodified
watchlist of MediaWiki 1.3.1) are sensed for changes the same way.
[ We could think of a second watchlist (first: w/ mail notification,
second: w/o ) or additional mail notification parameters such as
"bring-forward after xx days" and many more such options, which a User X
could set in his/her watchlist. This is for later, eg. long and cold
winter evenings ...]
Such "power features" as "bring forward notification" as suggested by
some developers would need DATABASE TABLE MODIFICATIONS. However, this
patch does NOT need table modifications.
(2) when someone changes the user_talk page of User X (low traffic is
expected; each page change is related to only one recipient). This can
be even allowed for large scale MediaWikis such as the WikiPedias.
For technical reasons: at the moment, it is not possible that User Z
sets User_talk:User_X to his watchlist, in order to get PCNOTIF. Only
the owner User_X gets it.
Global flags enable or disable the two mail notification modules (normal
pages ; user_talk pages) independently:
$wgEmailNotification = true | false ;
$wgEmailNotificationUserTalkPage = true | false ;
$wgReplyToUserTalkPageEditor = true | false ; # if true then a
notification e-mail reveals the page editor's e-mail address in the
Reply-To: address
The third constant determines, whether a User_talk-notification message,
(sent FROM:wikiadmin as usual) comes with REPLY-TO: User_talk editor's
e-mail-address. This is mainly a one-to-one communication, because User
Z wrote on User_talk:User_X page.
Why shouldn't we give User_X the e-mail-address of User Z ? I think,
it's okay to do so.
- The notification message body and subject texts can easily be adapted
to your needs. I have four new pages (2x body, 2x subject) in the
MediaWiki: namespace and have introduced NAMED parameters such as
$PAGESUMMARY and $PAGEEDITOR (no longer messing around with $1, $2 ...).
- Further notification messages are suppressed until UserX visits the
changed page(s).
- your own changes to a page in your own watchlist or to your own
User_talk page do never trigger the sending of notification mails to you.
- Notification flags for *all* your watchlist pages can be reset on one
click (button) on your watchlist page
Please be patient. Allow for some days of further tests.
The mail programs have been developed in the last two weeks and are
integrated into to 1.3.1 version. A documentation follows soon; the
patches are not too complicated.

Conclusion:
4 new pages in the MediaWiki namespace
[[MediaWiki:NotificationMessageBodyPageHasChanged]]
[[MediaWiki:NotificationMessageSubjectPageHasChanged]]
[[MediaWiki:NotificationMessageBodyUserTalkPageHasChanged]]
[[MediaWiki:NotificationMessageSubjectUserTalkPageHasChanged]]
In these pages, you can use the following new variables to compose your
notification messages:
$CURRENTUSERNAME
$PAGENAMESPACE $PAGETITLE
$PAGEEDITOR $PAGEEDITDATE
$PAGESUMMARY
{{MediaWiki:Sitetitle}}
Example of a notification mail:
Dear $CURRENTUSERNAME,
the {{MediaWiki:Sitetitle}} page $PAGETITLE has been changed on
$PAGEEDITDATE by $PAGEEDITOR, see http://myserver/mywiki/$PAGETITLE .
Editor's summary: $PAGESUMMARY
There will be no other notifications in case of further changes unless
you visit this page.
You could also reset the notification flags for all your watched pages
on your watchlist.
Your friendly {{MediaWiki:Sitetitle}} notification system

Timwi's started on migrating still-open bug reports from the sourceforge
tracker to our new Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org
Bugzilla brings these amazing bug-reporting benefits:
* Easier to create a login than it is on Sourceforge
* Easier to search for existing bugs
* Less cluttered interface! (no advertisements every 3cm)
* Bugmail notifications are less cluttered; it's easier to tell what's
changed
* URLs typed in comments are clickable
* Wikilinks typed in comments are clickable (to Wikipedia wikis at least)
* Easy links from Wikipedia pages to bug reports like this: [[bugzilla:19]]
To add a handy bugzilla interwiki to your own wiki:
INSERT INTO interwiki(iw_prefix,iw_url)
VALUES('bugzilla',
'http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=$1');
Sorry if there's some temporary pain in migration; if you've reported or
are watching a bug you'll probably want to login to the new bugzilla and
CC yourself to the new bug report. (You should get an e-mail
notification from Sourceforge which includes the URL to the new report.)
You can read all bug report notifications (on both the SF tracker and
bugzilla) by subscribing to the wikibugs-l mailing list at
mail.wikipedia.org. (Fairly high traffic.)

Something I've wanted to add to MediaWiki is email notifications of
watchlist page changes. The users of the wiki I'm running have asked
for this feature. (I do need to learn PHP and get a good look at the
code before I try this, though.)

Hello Sterling,
Thank you for forwarding this information and for clarifying the
situation. I apologize for the lack of clarity in my statement. My
statement with regards to wikis not supporting JavaScript was in reference
to your directive to click the 'Edit' button on your wiki in order to add
the ads to it. However, if you do have access to the templates of the
site, it is possible to implement the JavaScript directly into the HTML
template. As previously noted, depending on if you implement it with
frames, the ads may or may not be targeted towards the user added content
of your wiki.
Please feel free to reply to this email if you have additional technical
questions or concerns. For general program or account questions, please
email adsense-support(a)google.com.
Sincerely,
Leslie

Well I'm afraid the information, despite its source, is completely and
100% factually incorrect. Since a wiki is simply a web site, it supports
any and all HTML constructs.
The user-written text portion is -- just like the user-supplied text in
a forum, blog, or other such site -- generally limited, but that's not
where you would be putting advertisements.

Subject: placing AdSense code in a wiki
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2004 07:32:24 -0600
I've created a wiki site http://peswiki.com and would like to insert
AdSense
code into it, but find that some of the syntax are picked up by wiki and
displayed rather than the ad displaying.
Has you been able to come up with a work-around fix?
I'm using mediawiki for the driver.
Here is a page to show you how the page appears.
Click on "edit" to see the text behind the scenes.
Hi Brion,
thanks to answer.
The output from config - install after sending data is:
MediaWiki 1.3.0 installation
Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.
Checking environment...
PHP 4.3.8: ok
Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. MediaWiki will work
correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential security
vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server. You should
disable it if you are able.
PHP server API is cgi; using ugly URLs (index.php?title=Page_Title)
Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
PHP's memory_limit is 40M. If this is too low, installation may fail!
Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you
enable uploads.
Installation directory: /homepages/15/d16081958/htdocs/Wiki
Script URI path: /Wiki
Thats all. No report for any error. I have test it by two German hosters -
Schlund and 1+1. No difficult result. Local at home is running under Linux
without problems.
In the diskussion in 07/04 i have read from problems with memory_limit. Is
this the problem broken the install by hosting install?
Regards
Dieter
I'll work on this tomorrow, but I wanted you to take a look too and help me
figure out the code.

You can change the navigation menu by editing the following file:
/home/pure/public_html/wiki/templates/xhtml.slim.pt around line 63
For your site advertising, perhaps the developer who has already given you
code could put it into a format more clearly and easily insertable to your
existing stylesheet (monobook).
I believe you can insert it into the same xhtml.slim.pt file above - you
just have to figure out the proper syntax.
For your information:
(I've added this to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdSense )
