Which page controls the "appears on every page" content?
by Matt England 26 Jun '05

26 Jun '05

Which page controls the "appears at the top of every page" content? I have this "header" on the top of all my pages, I no longer have a need for it, and I want to get rid of it...but I don't know where to access it to delete it and/or remove its contents. Can anyone offer any pointers? -Matt

RE: [Mediawiki-l] List of user pages on front page
by Zain Memon 26 Jun '05

26 Jun '05

I just checked that out, and I think that'll work just fine. Thank you. One more question, though. I understand that the output of the extension is treated as HTML. Is there any way I can have that be treated as WikiText instead? -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Muzaffer Ozakca Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 12:02 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] List of user pages on front page I don't know there's a quicker way but you can pull them from the DB using an extension.

Changing "Images" to "Documents"
by Zain Memon 25 Jun '05

25 Jun '05

I hope to use MediaWiki in a corporate environment, and as such, we'll have a lot more people uploading documents instead of images. Can I somehow easily change all references to "Images" (like in the search options and all) to say "Documents" or "Files" instead?

Is there any way to have a list of all the user pages on the front page of my wiki? Or, at least, can I put a list of all the populated pages in the wiki?

Whitespace and numbered lists
by Carlton B 25 Jun '05

25 Jun '05

Is there any way to defeat the fact that whitespace (line breaks) interferes with numbered lists (marked with the # sign) ? Lack of line breaks makes for difficult-to-read source content. Some of my folks are complaining. Thanks, Carlton

What is creating all these wierd users like "B79eb7"?
by Ed W 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

I am steadily seeing an increasing number of 6 digit users with wierd names like "B79eb7" registering on my site. Who/what is creating these? If I'm happy to edit the database can someone talk me through which tables reference the user table and how safe it is to delete these if they have never made any real edits to any content (Actually does anyone have a script to remove all users who have never edited anything?) The mediawiki faq has a little section on deleting users but it's not enough to understand the DB structure and figure out what needs to be changed Any assistance gratefully appreciated Ed W

Advice on building a site in 2 or more languages
by James Gardiner 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Hello I have been asked to build a web site in two languages and I would like to use mediawiki if possible. What is the best route to have the navigation in the different languages? The options I can see are: 1) Run two separate wikis (requires 2 databases and separate logins) 2) Run two wiki code bases, both pointing at the same database with only differences in LocalSettings being the URL references for the navigation. Add suffix of :Lang1 and :Lang2 to the page names (will pointing two wikis at the same database cause problems?) 3) Something else? Regards James

Hi guys, I've managed to get my wiki engine up and running. Also I've made the modification which prevents accounts from being created. We use LDAP authentication in our company. How can I moderate access to the Wiki using accounts that exist on the LDAP server? Thanks in advance, AJ

Load balancing
by Arthur Guy 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

Is there a way to setup database load balancing or failover support, I found some php files and references to it but I can't find any directives in default settings or local settings to turn it on or configure it. Is this possible? Is there a WikiMedia help file that I missed?
