User Permission: protected user page?
by Bass, Joshua L 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

I have upgraded to 1.5 and want to know if there is a way to prevent others from editing user pages (i.e. wiki/User:Fakename). I want to only allow "Fakename" to edit his/her page, and also allow superusers to edit the page as well.

&action=purge, administrator-only?
by Sy 01 Sep '05

Has anyone thought to make the &action=purge function administrator-only? I see it as being potentially abusable.

Wiki markup text in extension output
by Satyaseelan Viswanathan 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hi, I am trying append the content of the talk page of an article to the article itself. I wrote an extension which gets the output of the talk page using $article->getContentWithoutUsingSoManyDamnGlobals(); Here the article object is the talk page. But the output shows up as a wiki text instead of html. I need help in getting the transformed wiki text of a page from an extension. Thanks, Satya

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Categories defaulting to action=edit

That didn't seem to do the trick (I had text on some of the categories). While the Special:Categories indicates if the category has text, by being blue vs red (no, that is not a political statement), the category link in the article remains red, pointing to the edit function. The problem does not differ if I just have text or if I put in the [[Category:Parent cat]]. I'm fine with adding text. Is there any way to have the articles recognize that the category already has text? --Ira >>> hinandil(a)freespirits.org 08/31/05 3:13 PM >>> > When an article includes a [[Category:Cat Name]], the Cat Name category is created, but the link shows in red.

Yes, this is the normal behavior. You must put content on the category page to prevent this--the content shows up at the top and the categorized articles underneath. It's used to give a summary of what sorts of articles one would find in the category. Try using   (a non-breaking space) if you don't want to write a description right away. Also, categorizing the category page (with [[Category:Parent cat]]) will only display the article list but not give the edit page when users click the link.

You can change this in stylesheets: wiki/skins/monobook/main.css Yours looks like this: #p-cactions { position:absolute; top: 1.3em; left: 11.5em; margin: 0; white-space:nowrap; width: 76%; line-height: 1.1em; overflow: visible; background: none; border-collapse: collapse; padding-left: 1em; list-style: none; font-size: 95%; } Mine is like this: #p-cactions { position: relative; left: 13.3em; margin: 0; white-space:nowrap; width: 75%; line-height: 1.1em; overflow: invisible; border-collapse: collapse; padding-left: 1em; list-style: inline; font-size: 75%; } The important part is: position:absolute; <----locates absolute (relative to screen) or relative (located in a table cell or div, etc..) top: 1.3em; <----distance from top of screen if absolute or top of cell if relative left: 11.5em; <---distance from left of screen if absolute or left of cell if relative.

Categories defaulting to action=edit
by Ira Goldstein 01 Sep '05

HI. I'm running Suse Server 9 with: MediaWiki 1.4.7 PHP 4.3.4 (apache2handler) MySQL 4.0.18 When an article includes a [[Category:Cat Name]], the Cat Name category is created, but the link shows in red. When one clicks on the category it goes to http://host.domain.org/index.php?title=Category:Cat_Name&action=edit withthe Editing Category window open. The category tab is available, and if clicked on, the articles in the category do show up alphabetically. Is there any way to make the default so that the contents of the category show up and not the edit screen? Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer. --Ira Goldstein Manager, e-Tech
