Importin Wikipedia Portal templates
by Harris, Mike 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

I really like the look and feel of the wikipedia portals. Is there an easy way to import all the required templates to my own mediawiki install or do I need to find and hunt down all the nested templates? Are there any major configuration issues? Thanks Mike

Of course the update can't be done anytime. but this is not very important. I can go on with my template, it works or will in a near future, thats good :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=G?rer_ses_photos ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2006 15:42:05 -0800 From: Jan Steinman Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Trackback spam To: mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org Message-ID: <4934E69C-C35D-4DEC-98B4-04E7393A59C7(a)Bytesmiths.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Just when you think it's safe to go out again...

Hi Christopher, If you got an solution, I would be very pleased to get it too. Im was searching for it a few weeks now.

use of the 'Help:' namespace
by Roger Chrisman 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

Hi, I am creating site Help pages in my Mediawiki v1.5.6's 'Help:' namespace. I could put my Help pages under my 'Projectname:' namespace but I like them in the more intuitive 'Help' namespace. Is that a *bad* idea? **I am worried** that future upgrades to Mediawiki may include their own 'Help:' files there that would collide with the ones I am making there now (when I upgrade). Anyone know if that is likely to ever really happen? Thanks! Roger :-) TESOLW.org (on Mediawiki v1.5.6) -- Roger Chrisman (650) 387-4732 Palo Alto

Transclusion of category items
by Hugh Prior 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

How do I transclude the actual category page links? Let me try and explain... Example. If I have a category page "Category:XYZ" which contains the text "This is my category page text" and links to (say) 5 pages which have the category "XYZ" on them. On another page, "Mega Page", I would like to transclude the category links. If on my "Mega Page" I put {{Category:XYZ}} then on this "Mega Page" all I will get is "This is my category page text", whereas what I want is the 5 links from my category page. I hope someone out there understands this! Thanks!!

Image Problems
by Shaun Kimber 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

I've just installed mediawiki, and I'm having problems with embedded images. I have uploaded the image, and use the syntax [[Image:image.jpg]]. From my understanding, this should display the image in the wiki post, but it doesn't, it merely creates a like to it. It acts as though I used the syntax [[:Image:image.jpg]]. Thanks for your help. Shaun
