Hi.
I want to use mediawiki to publish my faculty's courses on the web. For what I
need, a full-blown CMS is not needed, and certain features of mediawiki are
quite desirable (for instance, the <math> and <gnuplot> extensions are
specially useful and I haven't seen them on any CMS)
However, as the courses are independent, I would like the pages to be
independent: if two equally named files are uploaded to different courses,
they should not overwrite each other, i.e, I could have
http://mysite/course1/conference1 and http://mysite/course2/conference1.
Also, editors of course1 shouldn't necesarily be able to edit course2.
The problem could be solved by installing different wikis, one for each course
(or a single wiki that used different databases/tables for diferent urls) but
that way sharing users between wikis (a teacher or a student with two
courses) or setting up an unified skin would be harder if not impossible.
What would be the best course of action in this situation?
Cheers,
Zarrabeitia.
Hello all,
Sorry if this question has been beat to death; but I've scoured the Inet in
search of answers and haven't found any. I've installed MediWiki 1.5 without
any problems. However, I'm discovering that users are not able to create
accounts in order to use the wiki. I'm using these entries in the
localsettings.php:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
Currently when a users sees the main page and tries to edit anything, they
are re-directed to a login page. But when a username and password (and
password again for new users) is entered, the error "You have not specified
a valid user name".
If anyone can, please pass along any suggestions or solutions.
Thanks,
Will
I tried to find a page from the "Search" box called "De l'Autre Rive". When
told that the page did not exist I clicked on "create this page", and it
created a page called "Rive". I am 99% sure that this was caused by the
apostrophe. I eventually got the page name I wanted:
http://treekee.com/tervuren/en/wiki/De_l%27Autre_Rive
Is this a bug? A usability problem?
I am using MW 1.7.1

Hi All,
Wikipedia's robots.txt file (http://www.wikipedia.org/robots.txt)
excludes robots from action pages (edit, history, etc.) with this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /w/
But in the interest of short URLs, I serve my MediaWiki directly from
site / without any /wiki/ or /w/ directories. So above meathod would
not work on my installation.
Any ideas how I can exclude robots from crawling all my wiki's edit,
history, talk, etc, pages *without* excluding its article pages?
Thanks,

Hello to All,
I'm building a platform for our develop team's communication with MediaWiki.
Right now I've got one problem that I decide to use automated
logoning but PHP don't support this feature and we have to hide the content
of our discussion by denying for security if the system user name is not
authorized. Does or did anyone face the same situation with me?
I have check with the SourceForge and find one project which is under
building, which details are listed below. Before working on coding by
myself, I want to check if there are usable extension modules for this
purpose and then which languages can be used to carry out this idea. If you
know, please don't hesitate to tell me.
MediaWiki Vitrine
MediaWiki Vitrine is a collection of patches for MediaWiki, which configures
it to prevent anonymous visitors from registering accounts and editing
pages, making it look more like a website that is easy to edit and
administer than like a public wiki.

I am sorry to post this again but this is becoming urgent.
I have just upgraded from 1.5.6 to 1.7.1
most things seem to work OK but I see the following two errors
1. for each special page I get the following displayed at the top of the page
Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in
D:\home\xxxxx\forensicwiki.com\htdocs\includes\WebRequest.php on line
302
2. If I attempt to remind myself of my password or send a new password
to a user as well as the above message I get
Login error:Error sending mail: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server
response: 501 Protocol requies only one recipient at a time
Obviously these errors were not present in 1.5.6
the version page for media wiki displays
MediaWiki: 1.7.1
PHP: 5.0.2 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL: 5.0.18-nt
Any ideas on how to sort this out very much appreciated

Does anybody know if there is any easy way, how to show not only links to
user pages but also links to discussion pages of the users in the
Special:Listusers page?
Something like:
1. Foo, (discussion)
2. Bar, (discussion)
3. WikiSysop (Bureaucrat, Admin, discussion)
Thanks in advance for any tip, to solve this prob

Is there anyway to include (dinamically) an HTML page inside a MediaWiki page?
What I'd like to do is update a table with a cron bash script. I don't
have an idea of how edit from a bash script a wiki page, but I can
edit an html file on my web server and make mediawiki include it.
Is it there any other way of doing it?
Thanks,
Andrea
Like on this wikipedia link
([url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Majora%27s_Mask#Gamep…],
I'm trying to create an image on the right or left side of the page
where the text can still be outlined on the other side and which has
text below it in the image-box.
How can I create this? The only thing that remotely qualifies as
image-related on the mediawiki faq is related to 'how to upload'.
