Morning!
I am building a web site for a family member who is in the process
of completing a PhD and MediaWiki looks like the ideal CMS to use
as they will be able to update their own web site (delegation is
always important :-)
Two questions:
1) There may be a need to have certain pages in multiple languages.
Is the best way to do this for a small site is to add a language
identifier to the page title eg:
here is the CV in [[CV.en|English]] or in [[CV.nl|Dutch]].
Is there a way to do this and still have a more readable title eg
"English CV" rathern than "CV.en"?
2) I see from the LocalSettings.php that it is possible to prevent
access to certain pages for users who are not logged in. Do I
need to list all the pages I want blocked or is it possible
to do wildcards eg internal*
TIA

The advice in the subject line is correct. Users should never be
deleted from the table for another reason; you leave a lot of messy
references to them lurking about which really does confuse the hell
out of the software.
MediaWiki does not support the deletion of users, and likely never will.

Hi all,
I'm really sorry to bother you with such a question but I can’t seem
to find an answer (even in the list archives).
This morning I tried to connect to my wiki and I receive a violent :
Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(./normal/UtfNormalUtil.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/
var/www/tmp/dedalus:/var/www/users/dedalus:/var/www/dns/
dedalus.freezee.org:/usr/share/php) in /var/www/users/dedalus/wiki/
includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 32
Warning: main(normal/UtfNormalUtil.php) [function.main]: failed to
open stream: Operation not permitted in /var/www/users/dedalus/wiki/
includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 32
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required
'normal/UtfNormalUtil.php' (include_path='.:/var/www/users/dedalus/
wiki:/var/www/users/dedalus/wiki/includes:/var/www/users/dedalus/wiki/
languages') in /var/www/users/dedalus/wiki/includes/
GlobalFunctions.php on line 32
Now, I tought that by upgrading to 1.5.0, I’d be able to resolve the
problem (seeing that 1.4.3 isn’t compatible with PHP 5.0.5 and all),
but it didn’t work…
So I tried to reinstall everything but during the setup phase of the
installation I now receive:
Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(./includes/Defines.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/
www/tmp/dedalus:/var/www/users/dedalus:/var/www/dns/

config/index.php on line 122

var/www/users/dedalus/wiki/includes:/var/www/users/dedalus/wiki/
languages') in /var/www/users/dedalus/wiki/config/index.php on line 122
I really don’t know what to do next…
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sacco.
How does commons.wikipedia work? Can this be imitated in other
people's own installation of MediaWiki? Is there a technical document
under meta explaining this, I can't find any.

Is there any RSS support for MediaWiki - i.e. generating a .rss stream for a site?
I am aware of an extension that parses/embeds rss files within MediaWiki pages with <rss>url</rss>
but I want the inverse: to allow others to use RSS to see what's new on my MediaWiki site.

Hello.
I have a question, not really a problem.
I've seen in the doc (don't remember where) that to have the
upload of images allowed, the image folder should be
writtable by all (chmod 777).
When looking at my config, I see that at an unknown moment
(I think I was tired and forgot to document the change) I
made this foder "wwwrun:www" and chmod 755
rwxr-xr-x 14 wwwrun www 392 2005-10-13 20:07 images
I beg wwwrun is the apache user on my suse linux 9.0. this
works ok.
thus a reader gives me as a clue to use suphp with an unix
user and a chmod 700
what do you think of this? what is the best method?
second, I plan to upload my wiki on my ISP server, but there
I will not have any chmod available, however php is commonly
used and is said to have the necessary permissions. Do you
think there may be a problem?
thanks

I'm using MediaWiki 1.5, and I'm trying to activate the
trackback-function. As far as I understand all I need to do is add this
code to localsettings.php:
$wgUseTrackbacks = true;
Did that, but now what? I thought I would see a trackback-url at the
bottom of the page, or in the toolbox, but that is not happening.
Did I miss something?

Hello,
I hope this is the right place to request some support for this subject.
Our wiki (http://www.wikimac.fr) has been vandalized and even though
I found some informations on the mediawiki site, I can't really
figure out how to resolve quickly this problem and how to protect our
wiki to avoid such a problem again.
1) Is there any quick way to recover the pages that have been erase
without having to go on the history and recover the content article
after article ?
2) I guess to avoid this problem, the best way would be to move our
wiki to version 1.5, is that right and is there some extra things to
do on the default install to protect it ?
3) Is there a place where I can post (if this can help) the IP that
vandalized our wiki ?
Thank you for your precious help
Cyril
Hi,
I have a wiki with some pages changing quite often. I'd like to receive
an e-mail on every page change, whether I have visited the page since
the last change or not. Sometimes I can't even visit the page since the
wiki is on a private network but still I'd like to know if there was a
page change...
Is that possible ?
Thanks for any hint,

Is there a tarball somewhere of the Help namespace available here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents
Our local network gets pretty slow during the day, and I'd like to pre-load
our Help: namespace with this tree.
Thanks,
Randall
