Disable the parser cache for individual pages?
by Dan Davis 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

Is there an extension or patch out there that would disable the parser cache for individual pages? I'm thinking something along the lines of a magic word such as __NOCACHE__. Unless this can be accomplished in an extension (preferred), I imagine it should be a simple matter of altering the way Article.php sets $pcache. I'm just not sure how to go about that... Thoughts?

Search Engines Not Spidering Wiki Sites
by Mike 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

FROM: Mike Hammond Do you have to put a .htaccess file with just: RewriteEngine On to get searche engines to spider the wiki? Currently searche engines are spidering the html pages but not the wiki database php information! Best wishes. Mike

Permission to only access certain articles for users?
by Markus Fischer 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, we're using MediaWiki for our corporate intranet documentation and sometimes have outside workers which should not be granted access to the complete wiki because it may contain all kind of sensitive information. Is there *some* way implemented to restrict access for groups of users to documentes? Like only accessing documents in a certain namespace or from within a certain category? thanks -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFErkOo1nS0RcInK9ARAiXeAJ4oM7Y0EmkHdDfvJoS9Ln3pYzCdxwCg4nRi EdD25tQRy0nv/HDqj88lR9k= =mU6J -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Discussion on MediaWiki and PHP5
by Sy Ali 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

Is there an archived discussion on the MediaWiki move to PHP5 which I could read? I'm curious to see the conversation about the experiences with the move. Like why in general.. and the benefits and such which the WIkipedia is seeing. The only other discussion I've ever heard with regards to PHP5 was from other developers talking about how much of a letdown it was, and how much of a moving target it has been from minor revision to minor revision, the breach of promises of backwards compatability, the introduction of new oddities and not solving previous oddities etc. All negative stuff. So I'm curious to see the mediawiki team perspective. I'd check a development mailing list, but.. apparently this _is_ the developer mailing list for mediawiki.. where else is there to look?

Update 1.4.5 to 1.6.7 Special:Allmessages is blank
by Rick DeNatale 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

I'm testing an upgrade from 1.4.5 to 1.6.7 To test if the spam blocking extension was still working I tried to create a new page by searching for a page I knew wasn't there, instead of a create page link I see: You can <a href=":spamtest" class="new">create an article with this title</a>. I remembered that I had to change one of the system messages to enable this link, but when I tried to bring up the Special:Allmessages page it shows as a completely blank page in the browser.

statistics page showing 0 content pages
by Hugh Prior 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

On my site the statistics shows 0 content pages. Any obvious reason why? "There are 1,286 total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about Chainki, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are 0 pages that are probably legitimate content pages." http://en.chainki.org/index.php?title=Special:Statistics (Since this is the first time I mention this ODP+MediaWiki site http://en.chainki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page take a look and let me know what you think. Yes, I know Rob, the external links open in a new window).

cache for connected/not connected
by jdd 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

Hello :-) I'm sysop of http://fr.opensuse.org/Bienvenue_sur_openSUSE.org but not server admin (no access to the mediawiki files), so with little debugging capability. the page given here _don't show_ the same sidebar as connected and not connected. when not connected, I have under "opensuse", as second line, "Vue d'ensemble" however I changed this in mediawiki:sidebar (because the "'" bug) to "Le projet" and I have the latter if I connect!! this is not a problem in se, but thare are also other bugs, at least a layout bug (when not connected, the sidebar is pushed out of sight). you must now that this is a mediawiki farm (a wiki per language) and that Novell admins are on the way of redefining the layout slightly - we work together and I try to help, may be this problem have nothing to do with mediawiki per se (the problem is only seen on the french one, but I don't see any bug on my part). I have disabled the cache on mozilla and konqueror (they show the same problem), and used action)purge without change thanks 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=Gérer_ses_photos
