I've changed my wiki to require an confirmed email address in order
to edit using these two entries in my LocalSettings.php file:
$wgEmailAuthentication = true;
$wgEmailConfirmToEdit = true;
I have some users who registered before I turned on the "confirmed
address to edit" setting so the MySQL users table shows "NULL" in the
user_email_authenticated field. I also have one recent registration
where the user can't find the confirmation email that was sent to
him. Is there a way for me to manually trigger the e-mail address
confirmation in order to send one to users who previously did not
need to confirm their address or to a user who can't find the one
that was sent automatically?

Damien,
I use the following in LocalSettings.php:
$wgWhitelistRead = array( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "-", "MediaWiki:Monobook.css" );
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createtalk'] = false;
This effectively locks down the wiki to anyone not logged in. We have a very small userbase that rarely changes, so I don't mind having to manually create the accounts. Obviously if you want anonymous users to have read access you'd change it to true.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Hiding the "edit" link
How do you hide the "edit" link to people who are not logged in?
I know it can be done because I've done it before. Unfortunately I don't
remember what I did. I checked the LocalSettings.php file and didn't
find anything. I'm using version 1.8.2.

Hi,
I run a website based on Mediawiki. After I have upgraded from 1.5 to 1.7.1, users on my wiki can no longer talk on the pages!
Local settings have the following
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['talk'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['talk'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit'] = true;
#
// Implicit group for all visitors
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = true;
$wgDisableAnonTalk = true;
# and also
$wgEmailAuthentication = true;
I know this is very limited information. If somebody can at least point in the right direction for checking for what is causing this ....
Thanks in advance
HI,
I've browse through the Mediawiki help, without luck. I'm orking with
Mediawiki 1.8.2
Is it possible to have some kind of parent/child relation with categories?
For example, I would like to categorize pages by US states, but I would
also like to have a parent categorie USA. So that if I have a page
Seattle categorized as Washington, it would show up on both categories:
Washington and USA.
Is there a way to do something like this?
Hey there!
Is there an extension to protect email adresses from spambots by doing
some form of automated JavaScript magic? This would concern both
Emailadresse that are written in plain as well as using
[[mailto:adress@example.com Foo Bar]]...
Thanks for your input :-)
Florian
Someone referred me to an extension for notifying all users, via
email, but it wasn't there.
I am the sysop and I'd like to be able to send a global email to all
registered users when necessary.
I'm using v.1.8.2.
Thanks. Tim

I'm having problems to authenticate users in MediaWiki even when using
the default authentication method (database).
When the user tryes to do something just after he has logged in, the
system asks him to log in again. I've already checked my browser's
cookie configurations and they are ok (in fact, the MediaWiki cookies
are listed there and are ok).
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Regards,
Leandro.
P.S.: I apologise if the question is stupid, but I'm new to MediaWiki
and I haven't found the answer to that problem anywhere.
I followed the steps at the wiki for Pdf Export and i got the
Fatal error: Call to a member function getNamespace() on a non-object
in /usr/share/mediawiki1.5/includes/Article.php on line 150
when i run the PdfPrint entry in Speacial:Pages. I am using Turkish
alphabets at the articles. I read teh previous entires.
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2006-June/012964.html
And the last word is written at the media wiki:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pdf_Export#Almost_there_.28grin.29
It seems there is no solution. I dont want to change all titles. Is
there any solution for that?

Since the upgrade from 1.7.2, external links have been opening in the
same browser window. How do I change that option?
Thanks.

Hello all,
I am very new to hosting, let alone a Wiki site, so please bear with me.
On http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Deleteuser, instructions are given on how to create the Delete user extension. Step 2 of this process states "Copy all three extension files to that new directory."
What exactly are these three files? Do I have to create them or do they exist somewhere?
Thanks a lot.
