They're the a.new class, iirc. Sorry; imprecise wording. >If you want to change the HTML markup that's produced, poke at >Linker::makeBrokenLinkObj(). I had, but thanks to your prompting I've gone back to it and persisted, and once I realised I needed to reload the pages with &action=purge to see the effects of my hacking, it was pretty easy. Many thanks! CYa, JEREMY

Multilingual boilderplates, and more
by Puzzlet Chung 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

There is a proposal for multilingual license boilderplates in Wikimedia Commons, which makes me come up with an idea: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Village_pump#Multi-Language_version_is_ne…... MediaWiki interfaces are available in many languages, which is set to the local language of a project by default, and can be chosen in Special:Preferences as well. Then why not make multilingual boilderplates available, beside some other things? This could work in this way: Make a new namespace, say Multilingua, which would carry multilingual messages. License boilderplates should include the multilingual messages with {{Multilingua:PD-msg}}. Multilingua:PD-msg has the default canonical message, probably in English, with translated messages in Multilingua:PD-msg/en, Multilingua:PD-msg/ko, etc. And the parser would show the message in the appropriate language the user had set or the default. If the message in the language is not available, it should show the default. For Commons feature, caching process should be changed to cache by different languages. Regards, Puzzlet Chung

Pfadprobleme/ problems with path
by mediawiki＠fulda-vogelsberg.de 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

Hallo Liste, bin auch Anfänger und konnte bislang niemand hier weiterhelfen, aber jetzt brauche ich Hilfe: insgesamt habe ich 3 wikis laufen. Eines bei 1und1 das läuft derzeit ohne Problem. Zwei weitere habe ich bei silverlineserver. Die liefen bislang auch, bis letzte Woche, plötzlich ging nichts mehr, obwohl ich nichts verändert habe. Wenn ich jetzt wie üblich meine URL aufrufe, kommt die Fehlermeldung: "Umleitungslimit für diese URL ist überschritten. Die angeforderte Seite kann nicht geladen werden. Das kann von geblockten Cockies herrühren" Eine Unterseite kann ich erreichen, wenn ich den ursprünglichen Link eingebe, von dort aus wird aber wieder falsch verlinkt statt wiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Specialpages versucht der browser folgenem Pfad zu folgen und findet natürlich nix, weil es den Ordner Index.php gibt es nicht: wiki/index.php/Spezial:Specialpages Habt ihr ne Ahnung an was das liegen kann? Ein PHP update? Ordner wurden verschoben oder weiß der geier. Der Provider antwortet leider nicht auf meine Fragen :-( Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen? Es grüßt Euch Karin Hello, is there anybody, who is able to help me with my wikiproblem? My wiki worked ok. But suddenly I could not reach the URL. I found out that I can fetch a page if I change the link from the shown way: wiki/index.php/Spezial:Specialpages to wiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Specialpages But all links on this page are wrong again. I changed nothing. How can I fix this problem, I think my provider changed anything. I would be happy if annybody got an idea Karin from Germany

Hi, I found the meaning of foreach ($this->data['nav_urls'] as $key => $item). Does it iterate the data array? Where is this data array defined in clean.php or MediaWiki code please?

Special:Statistics giving odd result
by Christopher McIntosh 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

I have installed MediaWiki 1.5.4, using MySQL 5, PHP 5, on Windows XP. It works beautifully! However, when I request Special:Statistics, I get a huge number (18,446,744,073,709,551,614) in the output. I.e., the page reads: <snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip> MacHershellWiki statistics There are 1,298 total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about MacHershellWiki, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are 18,446,744,073,709,551,614 pages that are probably legitimate content pages. There have been a total of 423 page views, and 161 page edits since the wiki was setup. That comes to 0.12 average edits per page, and 2.63 views per edit. User statistics There are 3 registered users, of which 2 (or 66.67%) are administrators (see Project:Administrators). <snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip><snip> I've done quite a bit of searching, but haven't found any references to this odd behavior... Could someone please help me understand this? Chris

Help: where do I hack to change link output?
by Jeremy G Byrne 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Hi All-- [I posted this in a different form last week, but didn't get a definitive reply.] I'm trying to work out what or where I need to hack the php code to alter the way "broken local links" (ie. references to pages which aren't in the wiki, which are normally transformed into "&action=edit" style links) are displayed. I have looked in the obvious places--Linker.php and Skin.php--but I can't seem to locate the relevant function, and more general research has turned up nothing. Can anyone shed some light, please? CYa, JEREMY

Re: How to add / edit drop down menus in Clean Skin

Boy, that skin is really CLEAN! (When I try it, I get a blank page.) Have you tried contacting the author directly? His website has contact info. :::: The white man seeks to conquer nature, to bend it to his will and to use it wastefully until it’s all gone and then he simply moves on, leaving the waste behind him and looking for new places to take.

time zone for ~~~~
by Mauro do Carmo 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Hi everyone, I have set up $wgLocaltimezone and I get it right; when I save a page, it takes the time I've set up in $wgLocaltimezone. However, when I assign a page with ~~~~, my signature always takes the CST (Central Standard Time); and unfortunately that doesn't work for me. Does someone know where should I set up, in order to get the local PC time into my signatures? Thanks a lot, mauro. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
