Greetings, I am trying to add an animated gif to my wiki. It uploads and then only displays one frame. Is there a way to add this functionality to my wiki? Colin www.holographyforum.org/HoloWiki

Re: [Mediawiki-l] editing a page is causing problems

Thanks, Rob. Indeed! This update is largely required! But I am one of these users running MediaWiki in a non-target OS (NW6.5) and I've been relaying on the patches released by Guenter Knauf at his website. Following Brion Vibber last entry at http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2569 it seems possible that MediaWiki 1.6 solves this issue. So I will try to install and start using a CVS client as soon as possible, to run 1.6 and see if it install directly out of the box in NW6.5. I am just a newcomer to the Open Source arena. In any case, I will give a run to the proposed script before updating the server. Best, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez The XEN ICT Team >>> Rob Church<robchur(a)gmail.com> 5/3/2006 01:09 >>> It relies upon nukePage.php, nukePage.inc, deleteOldRevisions.php, deleteOldRevisions.inc, purgeOldText.php and purgeOldText.inc. :) Incidentally, you should consider upgrading to MediaWiki 1.5.7. This would make the files available anyway.

Thank you so much, Rob. As I am far from being a MediaWiki hacker, please, can I just copy the concerned script to the 1.5.2 maintenance folder and execute it from the server command line? Must I copy any other script? Thanks. Best, -- Ricardo Rodríguez The XEN ICT Team >>> Rob Church<robchur(a)gmail.com> 4/3/2006 23:07 >>> Prior to dabbling with the database direct, give the nukePage maintenance script in CVS a go. It'll be distributed with 1.5.7 or available from the REL_1_5 branch, but has dependencies. This does the deletion at the database level, and might avoid the problem. If it doesn't, get the page ID from the page table, then wipe the page record from that table; and all revisions associated with it. Then use the purgeRedundantText script (in CVS, also) to wipe the now-orphaned text records (or wipe them as you're doing the revisions).

editing a page is causing problems
by The XEN ICT Team - Ricardo Rodríguez 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hi all out there. We have been successfully running a NW6. 1.5.2 MediaWiki installation for several months but now facing a weird problem. It seems that a particular combination of characters in the title of a page causes the server to hang and restart when we try to edit or delete it. We have not a precise idea yet about the exact cause of the error, but it is clear that only a page is causing it. Please, what tables/record we need to edit/delete to erase this particular page from the database without using MediaWiki utilities? MySQL 4.1.15a in the background. Thank you so much for your help, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez The XEN ICT Team

Brion and Tim, what stands against enabling e-mail notification now on the big wikis (en, de), at least for Usertalk page changes ? Please, can you switch it on. Regards, Wikinaut

Cologneblue background Color
by Josiah Ritchie 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

I'm working on a site at washingtonbibleforums.com using the Cologneblue skin. I noticed that the background color is different on the main page than on others. I tracked this down to the body tag. In the body tag of the main page, the source shows FFFFFF as the background color. In other pages, this is set to FFFFce. I can't find anywhere in the code to get rid of that so I can set this with CSS. Does anyone else know where to find it in the source? Thanks, JSR/

WikiText to RTF
by Julius Lucks 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hello, I am using mediawiki as a project manager where several members are developing a document. For final processing/layout/submission, we would like to export the wiki content to a word processing program. Are there any tools for converting wiki text to other formats such as Rich Text Format? Cheers, Julius Lucks

Mediawiki installation problem
by Swami 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hi, I tried to install MediaWiki in my Windows 2003 server (which already hosts BugZilla in Apache Server with MySQL as database). I followed the exact steps given in the Installing MediaWiki on Windows Server 2003 SP1 sectionhttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Insta...erver_2003_SP1 <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Installing_MediaWiki_on_Windows_Server_2003_ SP1> . But after installation when I try to run the index.php from my browser, it says 'Error 404: Page Not found.' I tried it many times but the problem persists. Please help me. Regards, Swami
