I'm removing malicious users quite from the users table regularly.
Something else I'd eventually like to do is cleanup the user table from
users that have never even done even a single edit - a rough estimate is
that 80 - 90% of users fall into this class.

Hi,
I've got a couple user accounts that I want to eliminate, or at least
disable and hide from display in lists. Any suggestions? I could just
remove the row from user, but that seems risky. What do you normally do if
someone creates a user and uses profanity or the like for the name?
I have been unable to find anything on this on meta.
Thanks,
Jeff

I just installed an SSL cert on my Xserve yesterday and would like to
make sure anyone clicking on the "create account or login" link logs
in via https, even if they're just browsing the site via http before
that.
Is there any way to define that link within MediaWiki's settings as
https, not http? I've disabled local accounts and am having users
login via our LDAP server and I'd like to make sure none of them login
without SSL.
Thanks for your time,
Mike
I've gotten MediaWiki up and installed over the last couple of days, and
generally I've been impressed by a highly professional & good looking product.
However, I've already had a few different weird cases where pages just stopped
displaying.
In the first case I had to delete the page and recreate it before I could ever
view it again. Even totally emptying out the page didn't change it.
In the second case the original user couldn't display the page, non-logged in
users couldn't display the page, but I could. I added a space to the end of the
file, and the original user could view it again, but non-logged in users still
can't.
In each case, the page just doesn't show up. In Firefox it won't go to the page,
in IE it gives the familiar "The page cannot be displayed" page.

Any help is appreciated, because I feel like I'm sitting on a time bomb now,
with pages randomly becoming unviewable.
Thanks!

Hello!
I was wondering whether MediaWiki supports something like a "navigation history bar", like some other Wikis do. For example if I navigate from Page "A" to "B" and from there to "C", I would like to have the possibility to see something like "A > B > C", where A and B can be clicked to get back to the previous topic.
Right now I always have to use the browser's back button to get back. In case I edit a page (e.g. page "C" from the above example) and after saving the changes want to go back to the previous page ("B"), this is only possible by clicking the browser's back button three times.
Of course I could always click on "What links here" and then select the respective page, but this is rather cumbersome.
Many thanks,
Stefan
