Hi,
When I create a new article or start a new talk, On the edit page it
shows the following text and then shows the text area to add our
text. I want to modify this content. How do I do and which file should
I modify.
Creating a new article "Asdlasd" it shows this text on the edit page.
------------------------------
Editing Asdlasd
Wikipedia does not yet have a page called Asdlasd.
* To start the page, begin typing in the box below. When you're
done, press the "Save page" button. Your changes should be visible
immediately.
* If you have created this page in the past few minutes and it has
not yet appeared, it may not be visible due to a delay in updating the
database. Please wait and check again later before attempting to
recreate the page.
* If this is an article page (as opposed to e.g. a discussion page):
o Please do not create an article to promote yourself, a
website, a product, or a business (see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is
not).
o If you are new to Wikipedia, please read the tutorial
before creating your first article, and only use the sandbox for
editing experiments.
o Search for Asdlasd in Wikipedia

Please Help !!!
Bye,

I believe this is more-or-less similar to the stated aim of the
MeatBallWiki - an online community discussing online communities; you
might want to have a dig around. See

In the medium term I'd like to use a single authentication system for
a series services on deanbrook.org including mediawiki. My goals are
to integrate a suite of services appropriate for a community-based
portal. This is a volunteer (non-profit) service for our town.
Initially I am setting up WordPress and MediaWiki.
Authentication is especially important to me because I have a policy
that in order to post you not only have to be registered you also
have to be using your real name.
To start I thought it would be easiest for users if at least have
both systems use the same username and password. In this synched
authentication each system maintains their current user tables and
changes are synched between the two however a user would have to
login again when starting one service
What this means is that whenever someone registers (or updates their
password or profile) on one system a call is made to the other
application with the new information so that this system can also
update their table data.
What would be better in the longer term is to have an external user
and authentication module that presented a common UI along with
managing session information, and user access-control/permissions.
In addition I could better handle registrations from kids under 13.
In the US there is a federal law which requires parent permission.
A hybrid approach is also possible where I integrate the two systems
and end up using one schema.
I'm looking for comments, pointers, or implementations.
I'm also looking for a web community focused on design and discussion
of community portals (not as much the nuts and bolts but how they
actually work in a community and what services people use).
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to run a MediaWiki on a Debian server at my school. There
seems to be something wrong with the login function: if you log in,
you get immediately logged out. If you check the box for remembering
password across sessions, you stay logged in, but you can no longer
edit pages. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

As I managed the first step for a touchgraph specialpage (yet only for
Category:pages), I start a new thread.
I - Refactoring in 1.5 ?
On a previous thread (don't ask me where), Rowan Collins (as far as I
remember) wrote that in the 1.5 version, the database would be totally
refactured. Is the map already available? Will it affect a lot the
"links" and "categorylinks" tables?
II - Touchgraph coding
1)Touchgraph Architecture
The touchgraph engine feeds the applet with an xml file containing two
parts:
- All the nodes (id, label, colors, mouseover hint-html-...)
- All the edges(links) (from_id, to_id)
REMARK:
-------
The problem is that it works if a node has no edges, but it dies if it
exists an edge with an id of a node which doesn't exist.
2) Mysql queries
a)To produce the list of nodes I used:
$sql = "SELECT cur_id,cur_namespace,cur_title,cur_is_redirect FROM cur
WHERE cur_namespace=14 OR cur_namespace=0 ORDER BY `cur_id` DESC";
b)To produce the list of edges I used:
$sql="select cfrom.cur_id AS bfrom, cto.cur_id AS bto
FROM categorylinks
INNER JOIN cur AS cfrom ON (cfrom.cur_id = categorylinks.cl_from AND
cfrom.cur_namespace=14)
INNER JOIN cur AS cto ON (cto.cur_title = categorylinks.cl_to AND
cto.cur_namespace=14)";
As I said to Richard Holton (cf. "need mysql geek"), a simple query
wasn't enough because I need to be sure that the edges are BOTH
existing nodes in the cur table. Otherwise the engine dies.
QUESTIONS
a)Has anybody got an idea of the queries for the normal pages d:-D) ?
b)The file is already very heavy. For a use in production (I mean in
a public wikipedia site), can someone think of the type of indexes which
could be useful ?
- I thought for example of a listing on a limited level of links:
give the starting page, and the engine will produce a listing of nodes
up to three nodes level away from the starting page.
c)Can someone recode in Java the engine to get something more like
the two frames tikiwiki extension

Hello,
I'm trying to build a table with the IDs of the categorylinks table:
Id of the cl_to | Id of the cl_from
It seems simple, by however I'm totally confused by its structure.
Please, help;
François
I'm working on setting up a mediawiki for my company, and it's working
okay so far. The problem I'm having is that there's no user
documentation built in, and anything I copy from wikipedia or wikimedia
has links to other pages which don't exist in my (empty) setup.
Is there any way to import the entire "help" namespace from wikimedia
into my installation?

Although it's my habit to first lurk a bit on a mailinglist, then
write, I've got an issue which bothers me so much I deny my normal
behaviour (too much difficult english words in a too lang sentence for
a simple dutch guy).
While working with my wiki, I want to create different layouts for
different peaces of my wiki. I could just install different
mediawiki's, but that is a bit too much space consuming, so after a
while of searching I found the word Wikifarm.
Only problem is that there is no information regarding wikifarms and
mediawiki. )-:
the question: Should the solution be somewhere in wikifarms or are
there other ways to achieve multiple layouts?
thanks in advance

My mediawiki effort (in dutch): http://huijgen.ligfiets.net/mediawiki/
does anyone know why google doesn't index description pages of images?
if i do a google search like this: "site:wikipedia.org inurl:image" i
just get about 650 result, some of which are media files, but none are
images (jpg/gif/png).
descriptions can contain important information, so this is a bit of a
pity, isn't.
well, its for my site at least.
