Deleting pages (articles)
by robertito＠bellsouth.net 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

Hello all. I installed MediaWiki a few days ago and I am aleady becoming familiar with it, however, I have found that the learning curve is somewhat steeper for admins. One thing I could not solve was a way of deleting articles (pages). Testing the script I mistakenly create some articles that although don't show up straight on navigation, they do show up on Special:Allmessages. I would like to delete those pages. Thanks. Roberto

How can I make pages similar to Special:Preferences, where there is a menu displayed, and the content on the page changes based on the menu selection?

Head inclusion for js and css
by FxParlant 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

hi, I know it'll seem crazy to let people include javascript, but sometimes... Here is my hack. For each page MyPage, the content of Head:MyPage is included in the head element. You can then for each page customize the css rules or include some javascripts. Of course, you'd better do this only on very secure edit rights for the Head namespace. http://www.fxparlant.net/Include_Head François

SQLite support
by Jamie Bliss 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

Has anyone attempted to add SQLite support to MediaWiki? I would like to use MW for personal use using a minimal server (XAMPP Lite). BTW, if I successfully do it, I'll try to release a ZIP or something of it. -- Jamie ------------------------------------------------------------------- http://endeavour.zapto.org/astro73/ Thank you to JosephM for inviting me to Gmail! Have lots of invites. Gmail now has 2GB.

Forcing a disclaimer to be displayed
by alain bellet 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

Hi, We are developing a project of an online encyclopedia of simple technologies and practical knowledge (www,howtopedia.org). For this Platform we use Wikimedia. Cause of the potential risk of misuse of such technologies we decided to force the user to pass through a disclaimer validation process (to discharge us from reponsability in case of accident etc...). For implementing this I have to put a test (session + cookie based) to all articles. Where would be the best place to put this code? Thanks in advance for your answers, Best Alain Bellet

How to fix stale thumbnail Image caches?
by Matt England 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

My 1.4.0 MW site experiences "stale" thumbnail Image caches when the Image file is updated via successive file uploads. The only way yet I've found to fix this is the temporarily rename the Image-file name, save the page, then re-edit the page back to the original name. Do more-recent versions of MW fix this? If not, how can I best address this problem? Thanks, -Matt

Info Table float:right not working under IE
by Josh 17 Sep '05

17 Sep '05

I am trying to locate information tables along the right of certain pages. I copied some HTML code used on wikipedia, but i am still having trouble. To see the problem go to http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Brakes Under Firefox, the desired result is achieved. However IE does not interpret this code correctly. {| style="float: right; clear: right; margin: 0 0 1em 1em;" ! colspan="2" style="background: #d6d6ff; text-align: center; font-size: larger;" | '''Key Terms''' |- style="vertical-align: top;" | style="padding: 0 .5em 0 .5em;"| CONTENT GOES HERE CONTENT GOES HERE CONTENT GOES HERE |} However, the code works on the wikipedia site. So it must be something either in 1.5 or my skin?
