No regular expressions or wildcards
You cannot use regular expressions or wildcards such as ? or *. If you don't
know what that is, don't worry about it. To search for pages with the words
"boat" or "boats" search like this: "boat or boats".

It would also be useful for images.

I have an idea for an extension to add to wiki. Wanted to put it on the
list
to see if anyone has seen it before.
Many times users on my Intranet wiki will not remember the exact name of
pages that they want to link to. For example they might create a page
called
[[Projects]], but when they are trying to reference it they might try
[[project]], [[projects]], or [[Project]].
I was going to add some javascript to the edit page to have it do a look
up
and display a nice list of available options for the user to check from.
Anyone see anything like this? If you were using a wiki would you find
it
useful?

I think that would be very useful. I am having to move/merge pages
constantly for this very reason.

I'm having trouble installing MediaWiki 1.5 on Windows with MySQL 4.1 and either PHP 4 or PHP 5.
MediaWiki config yields the following
* PHP is linked with old MySQL client libraries. If you are using a MySQL 4.1 server and have problems connecting to the database, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html for help.
MySQL works and I've converted the root password to the old password format as per http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html but MediaWiki cannot connect. I'm passing the correct root password through the MediaWiki config form.
I think part of this is a problem running MySQL 4 as a Windows service does not use the old-passwords format. MySQL does not seem to recognize the old-passwords option in the my.ini file (see my post to mysql forums http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,45694,45694#msg-45694)
I tried by I could not get apache 2/php 5 running because PHP failed loading the php-mysqli.dll extension (I don't know why...), so I tried php 4.
Has anyone else gotten around this?

You just need the first page; Google can then find the rest on its own.
The one problem you do have is that the sitemap needs to be in the root
of
the site i.e. http://www.350z-tech.com/wiki/googleSiteMap.php.
The sitemap specifications say that it can only index pages in the same
directory as the sitemap file is in; if you leave it where it is it will
only index pages starting http://www.350z-tech.com/wiki/extensions/

Your sitemap is working perfectly; the page you see is an index page
linking
to the actual pages containing the sitemap.

MediaWiki 1.4.10 and 1.3.16 are security maintenance releases. A bug in
edit submission handling could cause corruption of the previous revision
in the database if an abnormal URL was used, such as those used by some
spambots.
Affected releases:
* 1.4.x <= 1.4.9; fixed in 1.4.10
* 1.3.x <= 1.3.15; fixed in 1.3.16
1.5 release candidates are not affected by this problem.
All publicly editable wikis are strongly recommended to upgrade
immediately. 1.4 releases can be manually patched by changing this bit
in EditPage.php:
~ function importFormData( &$request ) {
~ if( $request->wasPosted() ) {
to:
~ function importFormData( &$request ) {
~ if( $request->getVal( 'action' ) == 'submit' &&
~ $request->wasPosted() ) {
1.3 releases can be manually patched by changing this bit in EditPage.php:
~ if( $this->tokenOk( $request ) ) {
~ $this->save = $request->wasPosted() && !$this->preview;
~ } else {
to:
~ if( $this->tokenOk( $request ) ) {
~ $this->save = $request->getVal( 'action' ) == 'submit' &&

Hi,
We are thinking about installing mediawiki for a R&D
project. We like the new features in 1.5 and would
like to wait for 1.5 to become the stable version
before installing. Does anyone know a rough date for
1.5 to become the stable version? Thanks.
Yong Jin

Ah; now that you can't do, and are unlikely ever to be able to. For
starters, resizing an image requires passing the file through a
converter and writing the result to the filesystem, so not actually
having the file locally would rule that one out. The layout options
are more possible - they're just an automated way of creating
appropriate <div>s etc. You could even just create the divs manually,
as people used to do before the "extended markup" was invented.
But why bother? Just enable the appropriate options in
LocalSettings.php, and use Special:Upload to put the image onto the
wiki, and take advantage of all the features the software has to
offer.
