Traffic on a site running mediawiki
by Arjun Jacob Thomas 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

Hi, I'm running a site which uses MediaWiki, unfortunately the number of database connections at a single time is restricted. Does Mediawiki create a database connection for every single user that logs into the site? I'm not to sure of how this works and would really appreciate any feedback I can get on this.... Thanks in advance, AJ

Screenscraping tools in MW ?
by Harald Groven 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Is there an extension or feature that makes it possible to include a string of text from an external web page into a MW? Something like [include|www.somesite.org/index.php], that grabs text within the <body>-tag of the external web page ? -- Harald Groven www.groven.no/harald

Including recentchanges on a page
by James Nachlin 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

Would it be possible to include Special:Recentchanges in the body of another page? That is, suppose I want my main page to show the titles of recently edited pages? I suppose that the special pages must be built out of some sort of template and query combination, but I've been unable to locate documentation on them. This is using MediaWiki 1.6.6. Thanks very much in advance. Jim

disable skins changing? --- remove it from User Peferences?
by Roger Chrisman 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

Hi, I want to remove the item from the User Preferences page that lets Users change the skin they see my site with. What is the best way to do this? *Why* I want to remove the skin choice from User Preferences because I have some customizations in Monobook that are important to my site and I don't want to go though customizing more than one skin. One example of my site CSS customizations is some green bordered cards on a page. The cards' green borders and layouts are CSS classes customized in skins/monobook/main.css and, so that they will print properly, also in skins/common/commonPrint.css The green bordered cards are on this page: http://wikigogy.org/Discussion_card Ideas? Thanks, Roger :-) Wikigogy.org -- running MediaWiki 1.6.7

The sidebar area and special pages
by James 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

Is it possible to add extra sidebar entries from within my special page? I only want them to show when the relevant special page is shown. Or is editing Mediawiki:Sidebar the only way to get things on that part of the screen? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Adding further nav sidebars without getting "$1" in title?
by Ken McDonald 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

My understanding is that I should be able to add further navigation sidebars (separate from the default nav sidebar) by putting more top-level outline elements in the "MediaWiki:SideBar" page. This works, but it also give me a "$1" in the sidebar. Presumably I'm not including data that, at some level, PHP expects, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Ken

Creating a default template across all article pages
by Arjun Jacob Thomas 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Is there any way I can ensure that every page on mediawiki has a template set on it.... I'm not talking about preloading a new page which would still allow users to delete the template tag.... Thanks, AJ
