I am an admin on a third-party MediaWiki installation. How do I
protect pages? How do I delete pages? According to the
MediaWiki users' guide, admins are able to do both these things,
but I cannot find a description of how. Thanks, Charles

Hello, I just downloaded the renameuser extension and put it in the
extensions directory. Now what do I do? It's not recognized as a special
page yet, so I assume I have to take some further step. I didn't see any
instructions in the code itself.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
when i open my wiki-page no link is underlined, in my
browser this option is marked.
In the User-options i set this underline-option and
after a browser-reload all
links are underlined.
Is it possible to change the default-settings to
"always underlined"?
I use wiki 1.5.2. (want to update next)

Hi All:
I'm new to the list, so if this question belongs elsewhere, please tell me.
This is an over simplistic question, but here goes:
I'm interested in knowing what methods would be used to apply, for instance, a
review policy.
For example I want to send an email to a document's most recent author or
contributor every 12 months to ensure its relevance.
Is there anything built into Wiki to do this? or is it a matter of simply
writing your own SQL query to compare creation dates to current date?
Cheers;
E!

I run a mediawiki site for a small group of users.
I recognize that my question is very basic, unfortunately I couldn't
find an answer to it.
I noticed that when two users (or probably more) edit the same page at
the same time, the entire contents of the page are totally erased when
the user who last tries to save his/her changes clicks on "save page".
Although I can bring back one of the previous versions, this seems to
be a major problem, and I always assumed that mediawiki had a clever
way to deal with this (sending a warning to one of the users, for
example).
What shall I do? Is there something I can change in some file(s)?
Thank you in advance for your help.

i'm realizing a intranet wiki to offer knowhow internal support, is possible
link to wikipedia? with other project is ok.. like [[wikibooks:Main Page]]!
but [[it:wikipedia:email]] or [[wikipedia:email]] open a new local article.
I hope of to have been clear with my maccaronic english!
thx
It should be a simple matter to deny edits that contain certain text.
This edit.php snippet appears to do just that:
if ( "save" == $formtype ) {
# Check for spam
if ( $wgSpamRegex && preg_match( $wgSpamRegex,
$this->textbox1, $matches ) ) {
$this->spamPage( $matches[0] );
return;
}
But I can't find where to set $wgSpamRegex (not in localSettings.php) , nor
am I able to even add or replace its value directly in the code.
I've tried inserting these two assignments
$wgSpamRegex = '1px;';
$wgSpamRegex .= '1px;';
directly before the "if" statement, and the edits still take place.
If I add a "PRINT $wgSpamRegex;" command to debug, it either shows the
variable to be empty or doesn't display the debug text at all, depending on
where in the code I put it.
Using version 1.3.x on a hosted site.
Surely, there is an easy solution....?

I've got my problem fixed. For what it's worth, I can't say what the
problem was -- I fixed it by uninstalling the Suse native apache, mysql,
php, and mediawiki, and replacing them with xampp and mediawiki tarball.
Within 30 min. or so, I had everything working.

I actually set all accounts that had not been logged-in to the SAME
password using this technique. (Please don't lecture about why this
is a bad idea. It served the purpose at the time.)
Note that the hash is a function of the user name, so you can't
simply blast some MD5 hash of some arbitrary password in there.
