Hi,
I have a strange problem with the 1.5.2 upgrade process:
- I have a mediawiki version 1.3.7 running on mysql 4.0.15-Max-log. The
sql data were dumped with --default-character-set=latin1 and imported
into a test-db on the same server (4.0x).
- I performed the update process as described in UPGRADE: First started
the maintenance/upgrade1_5.php. Then used the classic web-update for
finishing the process. The web update showed the following error:
Initialising "MediaWiki" namespace...
A database error has occurred
Query: SELECT old_text,old_flags FROM `text` WHERE old_id = '4399' LIMIT 1
Function: Revision::loadText
Error: 1146 Table 'gaia_wikintern15.text' doesn't exist (localhost)
Backtrace:
GlobalFunctions.php line 451 calls wfbacktrace()
Database.php line 408 calls wfdebugdiebacktrace()
Database.php line 358 calls databasemysql::reportqueryerror()
Database.php line 734 calls databasemysql::query()
Database.php line 753 calls databasemysql::select()
Revision.php line 574 calls databasemysql::selectrow()
Revision.php line 370 calls revision::loadtext()
InitialiseMessages.inc line 185 calls revision::gettext()
InitialiseMessages.inc line 72 calls initialisemessagesreal()
updaters.inc line 670 calls initialisemessages()
index.php line 609 calls do_all_updates()
If I compare the converted db structure to the structure of a fresh 1.5.2 installation,
I see an additional table "text" in the converted wiki. So it looks like the script wants to access a table
"gaia_wikintern15.text'" (where "gaia_wikintern15" is the db name) where it should originally access
a table named "text". Looks like a parsing problem ...
For testing reasons, I also performed an update from the 1.3x to 1.4.12
(both on the same server and on a mysql 4.1), which worked OK.
Any ideas how to fix this? (I couldn't find any notes in
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Upgrading_MediaWiki and the IRC wasn't
responding)
Bye, Thomas

Would give a gallery of all images in the cars and trucks categories.
Hello mediawiki-l,
Could you help me?
After few hours of extensive googling and searching on meta, I have
decided to ask you...
Is there any tool to convert MediaWiki syntax to something
printable? DocBook, PDF, RTF, TeX, anything like that...
I need to print some docs, and ''printable'' feature of MediaWiki
itself is too simple for it...
Thanks!

I upgraded from MediaWiki 1.4.7 to 1.5.0, and when I did it, I lost my
navigation panel on the side. How can I get that navigation panel back
again?
Thanks,

CORPORATE WIKI USERS - THIS IS FOR YOU. ONLY 11 DAYS LEFT TO WIN AN iPOD NANO!
If you are an active user/contributor to a company wiki, consider taking this survey and have your name entered into a raffle for an iPod Nano!
http://emarshall2.usc.edu/ultimatesurvey/takeSurvey.asp?surveyID=419
Take a moment and read these questions:
* Have you thought about how your use of corporate wikis compare to other people using corporate wikis?
* Have you wondered if other people contribute to their company's wiki for the same reasons you do?
* Have you wondered why some people are comfortable editing others' stuff on wikis and others are not comfortable doing it?
* Is there anything about your company's use of wikis that bothers you?
* Have you ever been interested in contributing to research that is going to help identify lessons learned about how to enhance corporate use of wikis?
* Do you have any interest in winning an iPod Nano?
If you answered any of these questions "yes", then consider taking this survey by November 15th and be entered into a drawing for a free iPod Nano. Why not give it a try?
This survey is being conducted by Dr. Ann Majchrzak, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California and Dr. Christian Wagner, City University of Hong Kong. We've been asked by the Society for Information Management's Advanced Practices Council (a professional society of Chief Information Officers in the U.S. (see http://simnet.org)) to conduct a survey of active (contributing) corporate wiki users. We will use your responses to identify lessons learned about how to enhance corporate use of wikis. By corporate wiki, we mean a wiki used in a company to further the goals of that organization. Such a wiki might be used for tasks including R&D, project management, helpdesk activities or knowledge sharing.

Hi,
I've written a small extension for my MediaWiki 1.5.1 page. It worked
perfectly until today. For some reason I couldn't discover so far,
instead of placing my extensions output on the page, the Software prints
out text that starts with "NaodW".
What has happened? How do I re-enable my extension? I put some
diagnostic code into the extension source code and it seems the
extension is registered alright - however, my extension render function
does not seem to be called.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
