Can someone tell me where this file should be located and what it should contain? I'd like to customize a few things but don't want to edit the defaultsettings.php file to do it. Thanks in advance, Ryan _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Well the logo is easy to change, also the css is also easy to change once you know how. Although I still have unresolved quirks which I ought to figure out one of these days, editing the mookbook's css is as easy as editing [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] There is documentation around here somewhere. If there's some kind of common.css .. I don't know about it. =)

1.5.6 and wgRawHtml?
by John D. Mann 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

I just upgraded to MW 1.5.6, and $wgRawHtml = true just echos the <html> tags to my page. It did not do this before. Is there a way to fix this issue?

start article title with a small letter - possible?
by Tomasz Chmielewski 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

I wanted to use MediaWiki as the "engine" which would describe a number of technical terms here where I work. What I noticed though, that it is impossible to make an article which would start with a small letter - each and every new article is automatically converted to uppercase. For some technical terms I am going to describe this would look awkward. Is it possible to make articles which names would be started from a small letter? If so, how? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

Question: re main.css and underlines in section headings
by Michael Dorosh 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Hello; just set up Mediawiki and am scouring the FAQs and websites for help. Do have one question I changed the colours on some of my links, etc., in the main.css file. For some reason, the automatic underline disappears when I use the ==Heading== command with the double '==' characters. I suspect I've turned the colour of the underline to the same colour as my background, but searching around in main.css, I can't figure out which command I need to change back. Can anyone identify the block of text in main.css (or the appropriate file if not main.css) which sets the colour of the underline? I am using the default Monobook skin. Thanks in advance Michael Dorosh

no Thumb-Nails shown
by Martin Baumann 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

Hi, how to show thumbnails of images? * first upload an image * enter [[Image:myPic.jpg|thumb|alternative text]] Thats all, isn't it? But no thumbnail is shown, only a frame an 'alternative text' and the enlarge link! In LocalSettings.php I have the following block: ## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory ## is writable, then uncomment this: $wgEnableUploads = true; $wgUseImageResize = true; $wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/segment/bin/convert"; When I enter /usr/segment/bin/convert on the webserver I get the following: bash-3.1$ /usr/segment/bin/convert Version: ImageMagick 6.1.8 01/18/05 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2005 ImageMagick Studio LLC ... This seems to be correct. Any idea? Can this be a PHP safe mode problem? Because I had some problems activating image uploads. I must run MediaWiki as cgi module. Thanks, MB

Download instead of Edit this page
by Plamen Gradinarov 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

Whenever I click on the Edit this page link, a download begins. What could be the reason? This is only on one wiki (1.5.5) out of five on the same server. Regards, P.
