Is the Special:Boardvote functionality available outside WMF wikis as
a special page, or extension, or something? And if not, does anyone
know another way to let people be authenticated and vote on a wiki?
Thanks!

Hello!
I'm running two MW-Installations von my webspace: 1.6 and 1.9-SVN,
standard-configured.
Last night my Webhoster has upgraded the MySQL Version from 4.1.x to "MySQL -
5.0.30-Debian_1~bpo.1". php was updated from 5.? to 5.2.0-7~bpo.1.
Now both wikis only display absolutely empty pages in firefox (0 Byte HTML are
returned).
In IE7 i get an error-message: "Die Webseite kann nicht angezeigt werden."
(translated: "The website cant be displayed").
I tried: "php update.php", delete localsettings.php and re-run webinstaller
(standard-localsettings, only DB-conntection configurated)
... without success.
Other php-Skript with mySQL are still running (e.g. Gallery).
URL is:
http://mwbeta.fokkograf.de
Any tipps?
Best regards,
Jan
so if there's Page1/Sub1, then in Page1 i can put this macro to show Sub1? maybe tree?

I was wondering if you knew of a good forum or resource that would help me
learn how to Admin mediawiki. Ive been reading over the
the help pages at mediawiki.org but often they do not address my questions.
My main problem right now is I have installed turck mmcache but I don't know
what do input for server and port? I tried localhost:80 with no success.
With a result of "Shared memory caching: Memcached servers: Didn't get
correct memcached response from localhost:80". So I was forced to install
with out the cache option enabled. I added this question to the talk page of
help:installation but have recieved no response.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Chris
I want to use mediawiki to for documentation of the product. The problem i'm having is how to manage product versions.
I would like the user to feel he has a manual per major version. E.g., in the home page, list all versions, each leading to that version's home page.
When I have a new version, I'd like to mirror the previous version's pages, and change those that require changing.
I don't want to copy the pages, since then it means that enhancing the documents in any way (e.g., fixing grammer, spelling, adding more info about a subject) needs to be manually copied to all pages.
What I'd like to have is to work with subpages, so that if i redirect from one to another, the relative links are relative to the redirection source. so if v2/Home redirects to v1/Home, and the user clicks a [[../FAQ]] link there, he'll go to v2/FAQ (which can itself redirect to v1/FAQ). actually redirect is probably not it, but an alias (since i don't really want to redirect, i want the user to feel he is browsing v2/..)
Then, for each version, I'll have some bot that creates all aliases for the new version.
Thanks,
Ittay

My wikis are hosted at Dreamhost. They said to run php 5 from the
command line I had to do this, which I did:
[cognac]$ /usr/local/php5/bin/php deleteOldRevisions.php --delete
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.2
Content-type: text/html
Delete Old Revisions
Searching for active revisions...done.
Searching for inactive revisions...done.
1 old revisions found.
Deleting...done.
Searching for active text records in revisions table...done.
Searching for active text records in archive table...done.
Searching for inactive text records...done.
1 inactive items found.
Deleting...done.
But it didn't delete the old histories, just one record. As I have
mentioned I made the settings in AdminSettings.php:
$wgDBserver = "mysql.mydomain.com";
$wgDBname = "mydatabase";
$wgDBuser = "myusername";
$wgDBpassword = "mypassword";
$wgDBprefix = "wiki_";
$wgDBtype = "mysql";
$wgDBport = "5432";
Weird.
Tim
Thanks Rob.

I'm not a strong command line guy. How do I execute a "PHP5 CLI"?

Well, I'm not sure what a lot of that means, but I guess the command
line would look like this:
php deleteOldRevisions.php --delete --config LocalSettings-1.php
where I would create a LocalSettings-1.php and just include the
settings for the db I want to delete histories for? In my
LocalSettings I use php to check what subdomain the user is calling,
then point to the settings for that wiki.
OK, I'm a bit confused.

I edited AdminSettings.sample by adding the values for the db I want
to delete old histories from by replacing:
$wgDBadminuser = 'wikiadmin';
$wgDBadminpassword = 'adminpass';
with
$wgDBserver = "mysql.mydomaini.com";
$wgDBname = "mydatabase";
$wgDBuser = "myuser";
$wgDBpassword = "mypassword";
$wgDBprefix = "wiki_";
$wgDBtype = "mysql";
$wgDBport = "5432";
I then changed the name of that file to AdminSettings.pgp
I telneted into the server, into the /wiki/maintenance/ directory and
ran this from the command line:
php deleteOldRevisions.php --delete
and I got this error:
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.4
Content-type: text/html
<br />
<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting
T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in <b>/home/.laker/
redbug/pynchonwiki/wiki/includes/Exception.php</b> on line <b>139</
b><br />
So where did I go wrong? Thanks!

Hello all,
I need to move my MediaWiki from "mywiki.com" to "mywiki.com/wiki"...
What would be the best way to do this? I have the "wiki" folder all set up and ready to go.
Thanks a lot!
I'm running 3 wikis off one install of v1.8.2, with 3 distinct
databases - each wiki has its own subdomain (I have LocalSettings.php
set to check which subdomain is being called and it then points to
the proper db and styles).
On two of the sites I want to delete the entire history, as it's just
all stuff I did in prepping the wiki for launch. But I definitely
don't want one of the wiki's history deleted, just the other two.
How do I do this, either via the command line or the browser?
Thanks!
Tim
