We used MediaWiki via https among a trusted set of people.
How can we make MediaWiki allow users to stay logged in? In other
words, how can we make it so their cookie is all they need so that
they are already logged in the next time they go to the site after
having quit the browser?
The file robots.txt on wikipedia.org contains:
Disallow: /wiki/Special:Randompage
Disallow: /wiki/Special%3ARandompage
but the actual link is Special:Random - not Special:Randompage, so
shouldn't robots.txt contain:
Disallow: /wiki/Special:Random
Disallow: /wiki/Special%3ARandom
The current setting lets Google index random pages. Now when you select
a search result, Google will serve you another (random) page - NOT the
page as suggested in the search results. For example, search Google for:
allinanchor:"Special:Random" site:wikipedia.org
and click on link '../wiki/Special:Random'.

How would I change the sidebar width? (I'm using monobook).
Actually, I want to get rid of the whole sidebar, which I figured out
how to do, but now I have the empty space where it used to be, and I
want to have the content of the page fill up that space.
Thanks. - Mark
At the bottom of all pages is a link: About [Name of my MediaWiki site]
which at present takes you to a page called Project:About. Where is this
link set? How can I change it to point to another page?
Thanks!

Hello,
Running v.1.7.1, how can I change the text in the upper right corner
to just say "log in" instead of "log in / create account"? I'm going
to set up a different channel for creating an account.
Thanks!
Tim

In the 1.8.2 release on the Specialpage 'Gallery of new files', I have a
nice icon for pdf files, but doc, ppt, ....are blank images.
The link to the files works just fine, but I would like to define an icon
for those file types.
How would I set that value?

I have been running MediaWiki for some time now and recently when users save
edits to a page they get the error:
can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1
When the edited page is visited I can see that the edits have been applied
but the fact that users now get this error makes things kind of
undesirable. I have looked through LocalSettings.php but I don't see
anything of note. The only other thing that I can think of is my recent
attempt to install ImageMagic which was unsuccessful. Any tips would be
appreciated.
Thanks

Hi. I had to back up everything on my server the other day and wipe the
whole system due to some corrupted system files.
Anyway, I just got the system back up and running today, but when I copied
all my mediawiki stuff over to the original locations, it refuses to come
up.
I don't know if I can attach files here or not, but I am going to try to
attach a copy of the output. Perhaps someone can help me to resolve this
problem. I would rather not have to start my two wikis from scratch.
