Changing a page title
by Dave Brewster 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

The default page title is its name. Is there a way to change that? For example, you might have a page named "VPNSetup", but then want the title (i.e., the top heading) to be "How to Set up a VPN Network". I tried using a single = (e.g., "=How to Set up a VPN Network=") but that just adds it as an additional heading, and doesn't replace the title. -- Dave Brewster <dbrewster(a)guidewire.com>

I try to make the pywikipedia-scripts work for my own Wiki to do a mass import of articles. I make the settings described in the article. (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Using_the_python_wikipediabot) When I try to login there is an error: socket.gaierror, 2, name or service is unknown. Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process. Password for user Bot on my:de: Logging in to my:de as Bot Traceback (most recent call last): File "login.py", line 210, in ? main() File "login.py", line 206, in main loginMan.login() File "login.py", line 159, in login cookiedata = self.getCookie() File "login.py", line 113, in getCookie conn.request("POST", pagename, data, headers) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 800, in request self._send_request(method, url, body, headers) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 823, in _send_request self.endheaders() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 794, in endheaders self._send_output() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 675, in _send_output self.send(msg) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 642, in send self.connect() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 610, in connect socket.SOCK_STREAM): socket.gaierror: (-2, 'Der Name oder der Dienst ist nicht bekannt') What does this means and what can I do to make it run? Are there possibilities to do a mass import of articles with the pywikipedia-scripts or are there other solutions (e.g. with perl-scripts or so). Thanks

how to export to html
by Ittay Dror 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Hi, How can I export a MediaWiki page to HTML? What I want is to get a page without the left sidebar, the tabs, and the bottom bar, just the actual content.

RE: [Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki link problem following install process
by john.struthers＠agilent.com 29 Sep '05

Hi Rob: Many thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, the change to the LocalSettings file didn't work. However, the problem was fixed by moving the MediaWiki app over to a web server running Linux. It previously resided on a server running HP-UX. John -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Rob Church Sent: 23 September 2005 15:41 To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki link problem following install process Nip into your LocalSettings.php, find the two lines that control URL styling; I bet you've got the "pretty" (i.e. /index.php/PageName) naming chosen. Comment out that line, and uncomment the line which uses the uglier looking URL style (something like /index.php?page=PageName) This has worked for me before, although it may not solve this particular problem.

RE: mediawiki 1.4 & 1.5rc4, substring search, how?
by RA Sebastian Dosch 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Dear Mr. Klein, did I understand you right that, in order to enable substring search in MediaWiki, one does not have to change anything else than adding the php-file and changing the local settings as you recommended in the last posting? I had to change two lines where you made references to SearchMySQL to SearchMySQL4. After that the Wiki worked, but the behaviour of the search didn´t change. I still cannot use * or other wild cards. Do I have to change anything else to make your suggestion work? Thanks very much in advance for your help.

Problems with an SSL-Proxy
by Sebastian Brinkmann 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hi! I want to use Mediawiki behind a SSL-Proxy. So I add the whole URL with the proxy and the url of the server into $wgServer from LocalSettings.php. But this doesn't work: When I load the Mainpage with the complete URL https://ssl-proxy/normal-url/mediawiki/index.php... I get the Mainpage, but without a style sheet running. The links are displayed, but just show the adress without the so important "normal-url" in it. Can anybody help me? I didn't find a information in the archive of this mailing list. Thanks Sebastian Brinkmann sbrinkmann(a)gmail.com
