getting rid of old General_disclaimer edits
by Adrian Pederson 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

Is there a way to delete or hide old General_disclaimer pages without having to edit the SQL database directly? Since this is a legal page, it seems best to not have older revisions visable. -- Adrian Pederson Voice: 608-265-6608 System Administrator FAX: 608-265-8737 Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior

graphviz extension -- can we have this ?
by Thomas Gries 25 Mar '05

25 Mar '05

I recently came across Vic's extension package [1] which allows visualisation by using the graphviz/dot package. Would like to ask, whether this can be enabled on all wikis. I can only support this.

Extension: how to parse wiki text?
by Jean-Christian Imbeault 25 Mar '05

25 Mar '05

I have written a mediawiki extension for 1.4.0 that returns text that contains wikitext. For example it contains tags like [[article title]]. The problem I am facing is that the wikitext is not being interpreted but is being displayed 'as-is', i.e. as [[article title]] and not as a link to an article. What is the correct way to get this text parsed so that wikitext is rendered properly? Thanks, Jc

MediaWiki 1.1.0 Compatible with PHP5?
by A Chan 25 Mar '05

25 Mar '05

Hello, I'm trying to both upgrade our MediaWiki 1.1.0 to the latest stable release, and migrate from a Windows box to a Linux box. My plan was to install 1.1.0 on the new machine, import the data, then do the upgrade there. The 1.1.0 install.php is not working on the new machine, but I noticed it is running PHP5. Does anyone know if MediaWiki 1.1.0 is compatible with PHP5? Thanks for your help! -Amy chanamy1(a)sbcglobal.net

graphviz extension -- can we have this ?
by Thomas Gries 25 Mar '05

UPDATE: [3] shows, how all nodes <nodename> can automatically be linked to e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<nodename> w/o codechanges on graphviz software. I recently came across Vic's extension package [1] which allows visualisation by using the graphviz/dot package. Would like to ask, whether this can be enabled on all wikis. I can only support this.

RE: [Mediawiki-l] Sitewide css
by Matthew Gertner 25 Mar '05

25 Mar '05

Brion, Thanks for your response. I do seem to have a page called MediaWiki:Monobook.css, but I'm not using the monobook skin. When I tried the names of other skins (e.g. Nostalgia.css) no page was found (we're using the standard skin). Is this something specific to monobook? How do I create a page for a different skin? Isn't there a way to add styles that apply to *all* skins without changing the common.css file directly? What am I missing?

Hi, I have a user who forgot their login password and they never entered an email address for the account. How can I either reset /change their password and/or set their email address, so the Wiki can prompt them for a new one?

Hello, what are the possibilities to create a static complete HTML (or PDF) version of a MediaWiki? Is wiki2static the only software available for that? Regards, Bernhard --
