In w:Help:Link it states clearly that "in internal and interwiki
link style, a plus sign in a page name is not allowed, the HTML
and hence the rendered page just shows the wikitext, e.g. a+b".
However, looking at that page live on Wikipedia, the plus sign
*is* shown in the link.
On my wiki (1.5.6) [[a+b]] is rendered as the wikitext.
I couldn't find any release notes that describes this change.
Is it a Wikipedia customisation? Will upgrading MediaWiki give
me this feature? Is it an actual feature, or just some crazy
undocumented behaviour that I should steer clear of?
I've been using "CPlusPlus" when I mean "C++", but I'd love to
change if someone can clear this up for me. I'll even update
the documentation on Wikipedia out of gratitude :-)
cheers,

Accept life as it comes.
I am working on our mediawiki wiki and have been asked to change the URL
that the left hand logo goes to, to our school's home page. This is
probably very simple but I am not sure what in Localsettings.php to
change.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Audrey

To clarify, I know how to assign the logo image in localsettings.php
....
The default behavior is for the logo image to be linked (or points at)
the mainpage of the wiki.
Like http://mywiki.blah.com/main_page . But I want it to remain an
image AND point to our college home page http://www.holycross.edu .
The suggestion to hack monobook.php seems like it will work but I
really would prefer a solution in either localsettings.php or from
inside the wiki.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi!
This might be a "well duh" kind of question, but I'm trying to figure
out if mediawiki will run better on a dual processor server? Should I
bother? Will it make a difference in performance?

Hi
I have uploaded some pdfs to my wiki, but the only way to access them is
by useing
Image:MyPDF-File.pdf
Looks a little bit awkward...doesn't it ?
In my opinion, this would look much better.
File: for pdf/doc/zip/*
Image: for jpg/gif/png
thanks in advance

Just when you think it's safe to go out again...
I've secured my fairly late-model (~1.5.6) MediaWiki against public
account creation, and now I'm finding the thieves are polluting it
with trackbacks. This new vandalism requires no account creation, no
edit rights.
In this case, I simply went in and wiped the contents of the
"mw_trackbacks" table. (I can just hear Brion saying, "DON'T DO THAT!")
Is there any strategy in place for combatting this new (to me, at
least) form of vandalism?

Hello,
I'm running media wiki 1.5.5 on a RedHat Enterprise AS 4 box. I can not seem to get email
working... from the command line I can use "mail -s "test" jllamas(a)ipac.caltech.edu" to send my self

I have no problems getting MediaWiki to work together with mod_rewrite.
But my settings break all image paths !
I'm in a shared hosting environment.
The path to my MediaWiki installation is like:
$IP = "/home/1/m/myName/wiki";
in my .htaccess I use the following rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^myWikiName/?(.*)$ /wiki/index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
Any settings I try will either add "/home/1/m/myName/" to the image path,
or make MediaWiki try to create a wiki page with the same name as the
image. I have tried to set a $wgUploadPath that is both inside or outside
the Wiki directory, none of them removes the image path problems.
Are these problems inherent because Mediawiki is installed deep down in a
folder hierarchy on my web server, or can I solve the by modifying
LocalSettings and .htaccess ?
