hi there
I would like to get some information about performance of the mediawiki
software. i'm started with a wiki under my domain "heavy.ch" and recive
rendering-times between 0.1s and 8s, but with _no other trafic_.
I guess my provider got some performance troubles if it start to get
over 1s. are there any "performance-tweaks" possible? but i'm not able
(allowed) to change any memory-configirations or other os-based tweaks,
coz' it's just hosted and i do not got my own server running.
im using the latest beta4, with no caching mechanism (or proxy like
squids). also i can not tell you how many visits i have to count on in
the future. it would be just nice if i would receive some expirence
reviews from other wiki-webmasters on their own sites.. thanks!
greetings
Marcel
Hello all,
I attempt to make a formal request to create a email-list-to-forum "bridge"
using Mail2Forum ( http://mail2forum.com/ ) for the MediaWiki-l email list.
I have been using the above software to bridge many different
GNUMailman-based email lists with phpBB web forums (on my company's
intranet site) for some time now, and this has been immensely useful. I
would expect similar results for the MediaWiki-l email list.
Case in point:
I would love to be able to archive a reference to the recent
"import-and-export-via-external-editors" thread I started, a portion of
which is here:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-August/006455.html
...but I can't reference the entire thread, because frankly, GNUMailman's
archive mechanism (pipermail) is rather poor. I can't get one web-link
reference to an entire thread, for the pipermail email archive is "all over
the place."
This is just one of the many benefits, imho. Additionally, phpBB posters
have their posts copied to the email list, all with the proper References:
header thread control, thus allowing web-forum users and email-list users
to co-exist transparently on the same discussion content. EMail
Attachments are automatically inserted as web-forum attachments (if
desired). And more.
I can provide a few tips to setup to Brion or whoever admins this site. I
contribute a lot of posts to the mail2forum.com discussions as well.
What do you think?

Lots of great feedback thus far. Thanks all! A little summary of my
favorite stuff thus far:

This would be great. It probably won't handle embedded images nicely, but
that's probably pretty tough. This would solve the biggest portion of my
current problems.
The edit-wiki-pages-with-an-local-editor problems seems like it might take
a while to solve, particularly if it were done with MS Word.
In the meantime this looks to be the most promising mechanism at the moment:
http://search.cpan.org/~diberri/HTML-WikiConverter-0.30/WikiConverter.pm
I have yet to try and install it. I'm not thrilled it's in perl
(presumably, being that it's on cpan.org), but I'll take what I can get.

Hello,
is it possible, to call an article via such a url:
index.php/categorie1/subcat1.2/Article
I've the problem that i've diffrent Articles with the same title (e.g. Tips
and Tricks) in diffrent Categories (e.g Physic and Chemie).
So i would like to call the diffrent article via the url
index.php/physic/Tips_and_Tricks and index.php/chemie/Tips_and_Tricks
I know you say, that's easy make the title Chemie Tips and Tricks, but i've
a lot of articles in a lot uf sub categories so the title would get very
ugly ;-)
Thanks in advance

I have just written an extension that uses Steven Chan's PHP scripts
(http://www.jcphysics.com/ASCIIMath/) to convert a relatively simple markup
language into MathML. The only problem now is that it needs to be presented as
XML - currently the output is just displaying as simple text. I remember reading
something about mediawiki and XML format, but can't find it again. Is there any
simple way of making mediawiki display MathML, or would it need a major
rewriting of mediawiki?
I am new to this, but there is some guidance on setting up something for PmWiki
using javascript at the following
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ASCIIMath. I don't know how it would apply
to mediawiki.
I checked the archives of this list (thanks, Gmane
<http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki>), without success.
We are using our own AuthPlugin to authenticate via LDAP against Active
Directory, with a "fall-through" for accounts that are not defined in AD.
We would like to present the password-change part of the User Preferences
panel _only_ to those users who are _not_ authenticated against Active
Directory.
We are on 1.4.7 now, with 1.5 upgrade probably not until January. Any
suggestions about the cleanest way to implement this in 1.4.7 or in 1.5?
Thanks in advance.

i noticed that mediawiki's current email system does not include the
date header when sending emails, should i submit this as a bug?
$headers['Date'] = date('r');
needs to be added to include/UserMailer.php
(SMTP emails if that matters, mail server is not localhost)

Hi can anyone point me in the right direction of a guide on how to move
mediawiki from one server to another. I tried to do this before and failed
with lots of confusing sql errors and erratic behavior so instead i just
recreated it from a fresh installation as at that time my wiki had onlya
few pages. Now however it has grown quite a bit and i would like to just
move the installation to a new server.
Any ideas ?
thanks in advance
Caspar

Dear all,
I've installed MediaWiki and wish to render a navigation through the
categories.
As a first simple experiment I tried to transclude the categories page
into a template as described here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion_costs_and_benefits
i.e I've got a template for a floatbox, and acccording to the
description on the page above this code should work:
{| border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="40%"
style="float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:0,5em;
background:#f3f3f3;"
|-
|{{Spezial:Categories}}
|}
unfortunately it doesn't work. It works with articlespace and other
namspaces but not with the 'Spezial' or 'MediaWiki' namespaces.
Well in any case, this would just have been a hack - I might have also
remodeled the categories page with a css stylsheet to shape it to my
needs but there would be limits to that. For my purposes I' will have
to generate a duplicate of the categories page with modified markup.
In the simplest case the navigation would render showing the
categories. By mousing over those categories I would get a submenue
showing all pages classified under that category.
* If I do opt for this simple scenario, Is there an easy way of
modifying the output markup of the categories page?
The second scenario is clustering of categories: In classifying the
Individual articles/pages I generally would wish to avoid use of
subcategories and would rather prefer to use multiple categories for
each page. I take those categories and pass them on to a clustering
function to build a hierarchy. (my users are willing to do this
classification à la del.icio.us)
In that case the questions are the following:
* how do I pull out the categories pass them on to a clustering
function and pass the output as a new page with my own markup back to
MediaWiki?
I plan to do the clustering as a MediaWiki extension. However Since I
already have very good clusteringsoftware running on a different
server, and am therefore also considering passing on the data to and
fro.
* is there some standard way of passing on from and and pulling in
Data back into Media Wiki applications?
I'd be glad if all or some of this has already been somebody else's'
nightmare :)) if not, I would be glad for any hints or starting
points.
Cheers from Cologne

Hallo Liste,
ich bin ein Neuling im Wiki und habe einige Fragen und Probleme. Ich hoffe,
dass mir hier jemand weiterhelfen kann, sei es durch Links oder Hilfestellungen.
Hier denn mal meine Fragen:
1. Ich möchte die Navigationsleiste auf der linken Seite bearbeiten. Hier steht
Navigation
___________
Hauptseite
Portal Seite
Aktuelle Ereignisse
...
...
...
Suche
___________
.........
Werkzeuge
___________
........
........
Hier möchte ich eine eigene Navigation anlegen oder zumindest eigene Links
hinzufügen. In der Hilfe steht:
Seit Version 1.4 werden die Links über eine Variable mit Arrays in der DefaultSettings.php
gespeichert. Dort finden Sie den Eintrag
$wgNavigationLinks = array (
array(Um die Variable bearbeiten zu können, müssen Sie diese Zeilen in die Datei
LocalSettings.php hineinkopieren.
Die Angaben hinter text und href beziehen sich jeweils auf MediaWiki-Meldungen. Diese
beziehen sich auf MediaWiki-Seiten, die entweder schon bestehen oder durch die Medlung
neu angelegt werden. Eine MediaWiki-Seite legt man also ganz einfach an, indem man in
die Adressleiste beispielsweise eintippt: "Meine URL"/index.php/MediaWiki:NeueSeite oder
"Meine URL"/index.php/MediaWiki:KanzlerSchroeder . Es erscheint dann die neue Seite mit
genau diesem Titel, also MediaWiki:Neue Seite oder MediaWiki:KanzlerSchroeder.
1. Beispiel: Sie wollen in der Navigation einen Link zur Seite Inhalt anlegen und in der
Navigationsleiste soll dieser Link als Eintrag Übersicht erscheinen. Den neuen Arraywert,
der in der Datei LocalSettings.php für diesen Navigationsleisteneintrag definiert werden
muss, könnte man wie folgt anlegen (gekürzt):
$wgNavigationLinks = array(
...
array( 'text'=>'help', 'href'=>'helppage' ),
array( 'text'=>'sitesupport', 'href'=>'sitesupport-url' ),
array( 'text'=>'contents', 'href'=>'contents-url' )
);
Ich finde in den besagten Dateien aber keinerlei der angegebenen Möglichkeiten zum Editieren.
Wo muss ich hier was ändern, damit ich meine eigene angepasste Navigation anlegen kann?
2. Ich möchte Bilder mit Thumbnails einbinden. In der Hilfe steht:
Mediawiki kann automatisch Vorschaubilder erzeugen. Dazu fügt man den Zusatz thumb oder
thumbnail zwischen Dateiname und Alternativtext ein, zum Beispiel
[[Bild:Prism rainbow schema.png|thumb|Text der Bildbeschreibung]].
Das erzeugte Vorschaubild wird rechtsbündig ausgerichtet und vom Artikeltext umflossen.
Der Alternativtext wird unter dem Bild als Beschreibung angezeigt. Über die Lupe springt
man zur großen Version des Bildes auf seiner Beschreibungsseite.
Mein Problem ist aber, dass meine Bilder garnicht angezeigt werden, sondern das nur ein
Rahmen und der Text dasteht. Für dieses Beispiel also:
Bild:Prism rainbow schema.png
Text der Bildbeschreibung
Im Moment lade ich die Bilder hoch und binde diese in voller Größe über URL ein. Nur das
solls eigentlich nicht sein.
3. Wenn ich versuche über http://ww.domain.tld/index.php/Spezial:Upload Bilder hochzuladen,
dann kommt immer:
Entschuldigung, das Hochladen ist deaktiviert.
Wo kann ich einstellen, dass dieses erlaubt sein soll?
4. Ich möchte, dass User die das Wiki bearbeiten wollen, sich immer erst Anmelden müssen.
Wo kann ich dieses einstellen?
Ich bin wirklich Ratlos und hoffe hier hilfreiche Antworten zu bekommen. :-)
Ich nutze Version: 1.5beta4.
Liebe Grüße. Sebastian
