Are WikiPedia images blocked from being downloaded? I tried transferring
one of mine by "Save image as" but when I try to upload it back up into my
wiki, I get an error: "Upload warning The file is corrupt or has an
incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again." I get an
"unknow file type" if I try to open the image in Photo Editor.

Also, I did a scan through the database tables, thinking "this ought to be
tracked in MediaWiki someplace". But it doesn't seem to me that MediaWiki
tracks the IP addresses of logged-in users. If you aren't logged in then
it will record your IP address in place of your username, which is good,
but not useful for getting IPs of logged-in people.
In the RecentChanges table there is an IP address field, but on my
installation the column is empty of values. Perhaps in the future it will
hold IP addresses for all recent edits, and then you could easily see who
is trashing your wiki. But who knows? (Brion Vibber--that's who!)

'''Coloured heads''': As designer/author I wanted to have the
exercises indented by an inch or so and each exercise title preceded
with the work 'exercise' in a dark blue.
Using {{exercise}} , a template, seemed to achieve this but in
practice after about five or six exercises the word template shows
The HTML colour coding works but is not very accessible/ fiddly...
'''Indent first line control''': Indentation control seems not to be
possible with HTML
< p class = "i" > (without spaces) gives a small indent but amount
apparently cannot be controlled.
see:
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/indent.htm
the wiki in question is:
http://www.sense-think-act.org/index.php/Main_Page
There are a couple of actions in index.php that I don't think I understand.
Specifically, revert, validate, info, markpatrolled, print,
dublincore, and creativecommons.
Especially with revert, validate, info, and print, I would like detail
as to specifically what they do.
It appears the revert is an older action (since it ends up calling
$wgArticle->revert(), which doesn't exist).
info and validate take me to the "No such action" error page.
markpatrolled takes me to the "<markedaspatrollederror>" error page
print appears to be exactly the same as view.
dublincore and creativecommons both give me "406 Not Acceptable" HTTP
errors. (though creativecommons does output "</rdf:RDF>".)
Can someone enlighten me as to what these actions do?

I'm currently in the process of setting up a large knowledge base using
MediaWiki. I was curious to see if there is an easy way to self link a page
to itself and then use anchors.
For example:
Instead of using [[Digital Voice : KB : No Dial Tone#Scheduling a Trouble
Call]] I could put something in like [[self#Scheduling a Trouble Call]].
Maybe to prevent something from a namespace being used, putting in a
variable such as [[%self%#Scheduling a Trouble Call]] could be used.
I don't anticipate this being very difficult if it doesn't already exist,
and I can easily mess with the 1.4beta3 Code Base to hack this out.
Is anyone else interested in seeing a feature such as this, if it does not
already exist?
Thanks,

hi,
sorry that i ask at the mailing list.
But i did't find anything usefull eleswhere.
my problem is that whenever a special character is displayed on the page I only see a question mark.
The wiki is set to UTF-8.
the strange thing is that when I surf to e.g. wikipedia it is displayed correct.
When I look at the sourcecode of the generated page There is a difference between my page and the one of wikipedia.
All the special characters in my page are only one char ( e.g. a german ä ) but on Wikipedia they are two chars.
in my LanguageDe.php all the text is saved in the two char form ( e.g. À ) which I think is the correct UTF-8 form. but when it reaches my browser it has changed.
my wiki can be found at:
http://angel.homelinux.org/wiki/
Can someone help me?

p.s. sorry for my bad english iam not an native english speaker. (German)
I wrote up a little script and hacked a user rating for pages in my
wiki, and I've used tal:condition="php:!preg_match('/Edting/i,
$title)" to exclude any edit page from showing the rating form. But
what I need is also to exclude the special pages namespace, I've
searched around quite a bit and can't find a varable I can use to
exclude these? Is there some $namespace esk thing I can use?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to upgrade from 1.3.1 to 1.3.9 on our internal network.
First I backup the database :
mysqldump -u root -p wikidb > wiki.db
Then, I follow the normal setup of a fresh install of mediawiki 1.3.9
When I want to restore my old data :
cat wiki.db | mysql -u root -p wikidb
this tells me : "ERROR 1050 at line 11: Table 'archive' already exists"
Indeed, the definition of the table 'archive' seems to be at line 11 of
file wiki.db, and I guess that the fresh install of mediawiki already
created such a table.
So my question would be : how do i get my old data back into my new
install of mediawiki ?
Thank's for any help.
I've been looking through the pages :
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hackerhttp://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Installation_du_logiciel
.... but i could not get any information on this problem.
What is the best way to put my own image in place of the "wiki.png" image?
I presume that I can edit all the .css files for the skins, but is there a
global setting?
