Have you tried
#REDIRECT [[Catgegory:My only category]]
on your Main page?

Hi everybody,
phpSuExec was recently installed on the server I was using for security
reasons. Unfortunately, this crashed the MediaWiki installation. I think I
read somewhere about the incompatibility, but is there anyway to make suexec
and mediawiki work together?
Thanks for your help!

Hi all,
I can't get image thumbnails to work at all. I get 404 errors for them.
I see the correct directories exist but the actual thumbnail files
themselves don't.
I'm using 1.5rc3 on Windows with Apache, Mysql, PHP. GD2 is enabled for
gif, jpg and png. I've also tried with ImageMagick. Neither work.
I get 404 errors e.g:
"The requested URL /w/images/thumb/8/85/image.jpg/300px-image.jpg was
not found on this server."
The full size images are uploaded successfully. Just the thumbnails that
aren't being created.
I presume normally they're created on the fly when a thumbnail doesn't
already exist? In which case, the 404 page should instead by handled by
mediawiki to create the thumbnail, no? Well, this isn't happening.
Replies much appreciated!
Jake.

A user has run me out of disk space on my hosted wiki with huge jpgs. I've
been making them smaller and re-uploading them, but the disk space
remaining is shrinking, so the old large images aren't being replaced, they
are being pushed aside. How can I get them deleted? The old images
directory location shows the new image. Or is this some problem with the
the host?

Hi,
I've looked around the help on meta about templates, but I can't seem
to find anything on this. I would like to be able to 'conditionally
transclude' a page, based on whether the page is empty or not.
Specifically, I'd like to have something like
{{conditional transclude | page_name}}
which transcludes the content of page_name if it is nonempty, but
*does not* put at edit link to this page if it is empty.
A useful extension of this (for me) would be
{{ctp | prefix | page_name}}
which produces "prefix {{page_name}}" if page_name is nonempty, but
nothing if it is empty.
Any pointers? Has this been done somewhere before? Is it possible?
Thanks,
scott morrison
Most of my articles of my wiki are in one category. I like the way the category
page alphabatizes all of the entries of that category. I want to use that
alphabatized listing on my Main Page as a table of contents. How can I make
that category listing show up on the Main Page?

Is there a facility to upload arbitrary attachments.
I know I can use the Image upload feature, but I would like to be able
to upload any type of document, and have a simple syntax that I can
use to reference that document.
Not sure if there is something there or if I need to build it in myself.

If I have several wikis are setup on differnt subdomains, Can I setup my wikis
to allow a user one login to access multiple wiki sites? That would allow you
to know that UserA on one wiki is the same person as UserA on another wiki.
Also, that way a user wouldn't have to create seperate logins for each wiki.
Mario
