Is there an easy way to require a valid email address for users who
register?
I'm thinking the "Create New Account" button would act roughly the same
as the "Mail me a new password" button, rather than allowing new users
to provide a password immediately upon registration.
Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions?
Hello, everyone. I thought I would bounce out this non-urgent question
while I put off doing actual work. :)
I added the following line to my LocalSettings.php file:
$wgSiteSupportPage = 'https://www.example.com/contributions/';
And I hoped that a link similar to the "Donations" link on the English
Wikipedia site would automagically show up.
Well, that was three days after 1.4.0 came out and there's still no link
(I have not requested an upgrade from 1.4.0 from our security team yet,
since will be no public access for some time). Assuming it's not a
problem in 1.4.0, are there any ideas on what I'm missing?

I installed an static mysql-server 4.0 from dev.mysql.com as suggested on
the installation docs (not 4.1 nor 5.0 beta) + php 4.3.11.2, but at
install time a missing php-mysql notice appears.
The problem is I can't get a binary php-mysql, not even do a rpmbuild
--rebuild because it seem's there is no such php-mysql-x.x.src.rpm. On the
other hand I see that that rpm 'only' contains:
/etc/php.d/mysql.ini
/usr/lib/php4/mysql.so
what can I do? what am I missing if I work with mysql-server-3.23 instead
mysql 4.0? (the version included with fedora core 3?) What else can I do?
thanks,
Pablo Chamorro

I don't have my wiki set up that way, but have you checked the user
preferences/user data page also. It is normally the place where users
change their passwords. In fact the login page doesn't have an option
to change a password even when users can create accounts. This makes
sense since you really need to be authenticated before you change your
password, in other words you need to be logged in first.
The wiki I setup on my local box (Ubuntu) works great. I used a similar
procedure to set this up on a linux host ( http://mudabone.com/sandBoxWiki )
and everything seems to work fine except for users. When you login in, it
logs you right back out the very next click. Try logging on as
WikiSysop/WikiSysop - the next link you click will log you back out. Any
idea what would cause this?

Can a user set their own chosen password when the wiki is set to only
allow logged-in users to edit and a sysop to create new accounts? You
only see the boxes to log in and mail a new password. This user is not
very technical, though she is sensible and pleaded password-fatigue,
she's already struggling to remember them.
But it seemed worth asking! I don't see an item in the FAQ.
by the way, is the FAQ welcoming idiots like me drafting answers to
questions and contributing, when suitably advised here by those who
know? or is it preferred that only power users contribute? thanks. I'd
be happy to convert my questions into items there once i've made every
conceivable mistake and been corrected...
Do templates force-close any opening tags?
I'm trying to make templates for a simple hierarchical link list,
something like {{menu top}} that opens a <div> and <font>, one or more
intermedate {{menu this}} {{menu that}} templates that provide a second
set of links, based on the same <div> and <font>, then a {{menu close}}
that does the </div> and </font>.
But it looks like the {{menu top}} is getting closed off with
"</font></p></div>", even though I did no such thing.
Is there any way around this sort of behavior?

I mean, why isn't it
array('text' => 'mainpage', 'href' => 'mainpage-url'),
on $wgNavigationLinks?
I'm asking because I'm doing a dynamic Main Page as a Special:MyProject module.
- If I set MediaWiki:Mainpage to 'Special:MyProject', the Navigation
menu entry changes to
'Special:MyProject', which I don't want (I still want the Main Page
to show as "Main Page"
on the Navigation menu).
- If I modify $wgNavigationLinks to have
array('text' => 'mainpage', 'href' => 'mainpage-url'),
and set MediaWiki:Mainpage-url to 'Special:MyProject', clicking on
the Navigation entry
brings my Special page, but navigating to http://mylocalhost/wiki
brings me back to
http://mylocalhost/wiki/Main_Page (as the software has no way to
know that my new
main page is to be taken from MediaWiki:Mainpage-url)
- Finally, if I do
#REDIRECT [[Special:MyProject]]
on Main_Page, it all works as expected, but the browser's navigation
bar shows
http://mylocalhost/wiki/Special:MyProject (which is correct but ugly).
So, it'd be nicer if MediaWiki used a MediaWiki:Mainpage for the
navigation menu entry title, and a MediaWiki:Mainpage-url for the
page, and the software knew that the default page comes from
MediaWiki:Mainpage-url.
Or, is there a way to do that already that I'm missing? (as I suspect :)

Do you mean that mediawiki does not parse the page every time it is displayed? If so, I guess it is not a limitation.

Don't know. Try it and see.
You may want to setup templates to insert 5, 10, 100, etc. links at a
time. Then you can just make a page using these templates then use the
purge action (page_name?action=purge) to make it reparse.
