Re: [Mediawiki-l] Release time (roadmap) of 1.6?
by Jeff Lane 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Thank you for the heads up on the release Brion. We're about to do a 1.4.12 to 1.5.8 upgrade, so it's nice to be aware of this imminent release. Could you possibly give a rough idea of the issues (if any) we might run into going from a 1.5.8 to 1.6.0 upgrade? This might influence our decision to delay our 1.5.8 upgrade and go direct to 1.6.0. The current Upgrading help page only addresses 1.5.x and below.

Media-wiki 1.6 or default parameters
by FreeAll Support 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hello All. Is it safe to upgrade to 1.6? There is one advantage I really need - the "Default Parameter". And if it is safe - where can I download it from? I've searched the CVS and found only till 1.5.8... Thanks ahead! Peleg.

Rebuilding thumbnails
by Rick DeNatale 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

My google skills are failing me. I've uploaded several jpegs to my wiki which I now want to re-upload after doing some color correction on them. I can't seem to figure out how to get mediawiki (1.4.x) to rebuild the thumbnails for these images after I've uploaded them. -- Rick DeNatale Visit the Project Mercury Wiki Site http://www.mercuryspacecraft.com/

Great, thanks. That's what we've been doing with 1.4->1.5, on a test server. We'll go ahead with that, then move to 1.6. -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Brion Vibber Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 12:26 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Release time (roadmap) of 1.6?

Moving from 1.5 to 1.6 should be pretty smooth; the database changes are relatively minor. 1.4 to 1.5 is a big change, so test that offline first if you're able. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

User rights email notification extension
by Rob Church 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Announcing the all-singing, all-dancing user rights email notification extension. It slices, it dices; it emails registered users upon a change in their group memberships. Yes folks, for users of MediaWiki 1.5.9 and above* this is *the* extension to download. More information minus the marketing spiel at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_Rights_Email_Notification. * Requires hooks present in 1.5.9 or later. I know, 1.5.9 isn't out at the moment. The hook is simple enough to add, it's a one-line change which I'll document somewhere. Rob Church

Media-wiki 1.6 or default parameters
by FreeAll Support 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Thanks, I am running 1.5.6... My question is if there is any other way to make "IF"s or default parameters in templates even if I use 1.5.x version of mediawiki... Thanks again!

printing wiki pages
by Mark Greenbank 29 Mar '06

Hi, I'm new to MediaWiki so please excuse the simple question: is there a way to print out wiki pages short of visiting each one and clicking 'Print' from the browers? Thanks, Mark

Saving a page, much later
by laurent 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hi, Users of mine are running into a problematic situation where a page is left in "edit" mode for several hours. At the end of the day they press "Save" and instead of directly saving, the page shows up a preview. Users have checked the "Remember me" box so that login shouldn't be an issue here. Any ideas? Apache/debien/mediawiki server, firefox/windowsxp clients. Thanks Laurent
