I would like users to be able to search, say, just one novel, or see
the pages for one novel. Would it be better to use categories for
this? To recap, I'm doing a wiki on an author and it will have
different sections for each of the five novels. I'm very open to
suggestions.
Thanks.

Thanks, This was all very clear. Now that I've created the namespace
"ATD", I assume I can go to pages named, say, "ATD_-_A" and move/
rename them to "ATD:A" which will put that page in the namespace ATD,
yes? I did this, but the title of the page now shows "ATD:A", that
is, it shows the namespace and the page name. Is there a way not to
show the namespace in the main header?
Also, I created a namespace "Jack" and made it not searchable, in
LocalSettings.php, but when I search for a file called "create" which
I had created in the main namespace but moved to "Tim:create", it
still turns up in the search even though I made searching that
namespace "false". Maybe I have to quit the browser or something?

Finally, if I've created a discussion namespace for a novel and I
want to add a discussion link after one particular entry on an
alphabetical listing page, what is the syntax for this?
Thanks. Tim
Create a template with the following content and name it "Template:Discuss"
(or "Template:YourTemplateName")
[[{{NAMESPACE}}_talk:{{PAGENAME}}| Discuss]]
Any where you want a link to a discussion page related to a main page, just
use {{discuss}} to call the template content. This will perform the same as
the "Discussion" tab at the top of pages; it will print "Discuss" (or whatever
you put after the pipe) and create link to that page's talk page.
If you want to link page A to page B's discussion page, that would be a
different matter. A simple wikilink on page A to page B's talk page would work:
[[Page_B:talk|Discuss]].
If you want to expedite adding links to the page B discussion page, you
could make a template page named, for example, "Template:DiscussB." Put the
[[Page_B:talk|Discuss]] wikilink on the page "Temlate:DiscussB" and call it
anywhere on your site with {{DiscussB}}.
I am building a wiki for an author and will have alphabetical guides
to 4 of his novels. I have read about namespaces and categories and
wonder what is the best way to do this. It appears that creating a
namespace for each novel would be the way to go.
I understand that I'll have to add them in the LocalSettings.php
file. I understand that I can use numbers 100+ in the array of new
namespaces, and that even numbers are for regular pages and odd
numbers are for discussion pages.
Then, to create the alpha page "A" for the novel "GR" the link would be:
[[GR:A|Gertrude's Dilemma - A]] (that's a pipe after the A)
If someone could point me to what the additions would be in
LocalSettings.php, that'd be great.
I understand that the default search would search all 4 novel's
namespaces. Also, registered users would be able to edit pages in any
of the 4 namespaces.
I already created an A-Z menu of links, eg GR_-_A, GR_-_B, etc. I
assume that after I've added the namespaces in LocalSettings.php, I
can move/rename these pages to GR:A, GR:B, etc., yes?
Finally, if I've created a discussion namespace for a novel and I
want to add a discussion link after one particular entry on an
alphabetical listing page, what is the syntax for this?
Thanks. Tim

Again, GroupWiki provides this functionality. The persistent call for more

preference of the leadership of Mediawiki's currently largest user that routine

Hello,
Is there a way to prevent only a specific page from read by all users
(registered + guests) ?
Perhaps only SysOps can read this specific page or even a specific user
can read this specific page ?

Addady

IE70Fixes.css has this rule:
#column-content #content {
margin-left: 12.2em;
margin-top: 3em;
height: 1%;
}
but I'm quite sure your solution is in the browser-specific CSS.

I did it using Firefox on Mac, so if it's not making a difference for
you, then that rule is overwritten in one of the browser-specific
style sheets, so you have to edit whichever it is, depending on your
browser:
IE50Fixes.css
IE55Fixes.css
IE70Fixes.css
IEMacFixes.css
KHTMLFixes.css
Opera6Fixes.css
Opera7Fixes.css

In

This rule:
#content {
margin: 3em 0 0 12.2em;
padding: 0 1em 1.5em 1em;
background: white;
color: #8c594a;
border: 1px solid #8c594a;
line-height: 1.5em;
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
width:600px;
}
sets the left margin for the content box. If you diminish the
"12.2em" left margin, that content box will move over to the left.

Hi,
I am customizing the monobook so I can integrate it into an Intranet
scenery, and while stripping away the parts of "column-one", I had a bit of
trouble removing the toolbox. All the other components are easy to wipe out
with display: none, but in main.css there is only a #p-tbx section. Just out
of curiosity, why is this?
Manually adding #p-tb {display:none;} helps btw (found it in a 2005
posting).
Also, after stripping a lot of stuff relating to column-one, the "main
section" doesn't shift left. I tried removing all of the php code to see if
display: none was to blame, but this didn't help either. Can anyone point me
to where this is set (for IE 6).
Regards,
Arjen
