I'm getting email on minor edits
by David J. Biesack 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

We've enabled email notification on our intranet wiki. In my preferences, I have "Send me an email also for minor edits of pages" disabled but our MediaWiki 1.5.6 system is still sending me email when someone makes a minor edit. The page history shows the edit is a minor edit and the email contains Editor's summary: (comment...) This is a minor edit UserMailer.php contains ... && (!$minorEdit || ($wgEnotifMinorEdits && $watchingUser->getOption('enotifminoredits') ) ) which looks correct. I can add $wgEnotifMinorEdits = false; # UPO; false: "minor edits" on pages do not trigger notification mails. to LocalSettings.php but I'd rather give users the option to set this themselves. Anyone have a fix for this so that my preferences are honored? I'm using the standard MW 1.5.6; I did not download/install ENotif separately. -- David J. Biesack SAS Institute Inc.

RE: [Mediawiki-l] Adding pages

[snip] You should get a red link on the results page which says, "create this article" or similar. It links to the page to create/edit that page. [/snip] It doesn't do that. I am sure it is a configuration issue of some sort.

Adding pages
by Jay Blanchard 03 Feb '06

I type something into the search box and click 'Go'. I get a search results page, but not a way to add a page. Am I missing something here? Did I incorrectly configure my wiki? Thanks!

Problems with opera 8
by Gabriele Barberi 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hello, In order to adapt the wiki layout to the one used on our site, I have hardly modified the main.css of the monobook skin. With standard *Fixes.css and a long work, I have been able to make wiki appear as the main site. On most browsers it works fine but not with Opera 8. Are there some known "fixes" also for Opera 8? Thanks a lot, Gabriele

How do I generate a global table of contents or wiki site index?
by William Scott 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi Folks: I've searched high and low through the documentation and FAQ for what must be a simple thing to do. I would like to create a global table of contents or index, much like the one that is auto-generated at the top of a page with multiple sections, except one that would have a link to every wiki page I have created (and hopefully permit organizing it). Is there a way to do this? Please accept my apologies if I have just missed the obvious. Thanks. Bill Scott

[with] a > link to every wiki page I have created (and hopefully permit > organizing it). Is there a way to do this? Do you need something more complex than [[Special:Allpages]]? When I do a site, I put Special:Allpages right on the left-side menu, with the text "Index". If you need to "organize it," perhaps hacking a copy of SpecialAllpages.php would work for you. :::: Bush thanked the Canadians for their "Five-finger welcome."

Hello, I searched the first couple of years of this mailing list but did not see an answer for this. Is it possible to skin two sections of the the same site differently? If so, could someone point me in the right direction to find out more about this? TIA for your help, ~Tricia Barden
