Hi, all -
I have a problem with mediawiki that may have been caused by spammers. I'm
not sure.
This morning I checked my wiki, and I had the worst spam problem ever.
Thousands of links over the course of the last few days. (Luckily they
don't show except in the history - thank you for whatever built in
protection hides all the spam - they just erase my pages).
I usually deal with spammers by reverting back to the "clean" version of
the page. However, today when I tried to do this, I could not get the
editable version of the historical page. When I find the clean page and
hit "edit", the editable version is always the current version of the
page. Is there any way I can fix this?
I don't know what version of MediaWiki I'm using. I think I installed it
four or five months ago.

Hey guys,
On the server which has our Wiki we will probably have other sites and
applications as well.
I want to have a wiki favicon for our site which is different from the
ones for the other (if they even have one)
I understand a way to do this is to put <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON"
HREF="favicon.ico"> in the <head> section.
I am guessing that there is a nice single place to put this line in some
php file but I can't guess where.
Does anyone have an idea where I can put this? I tried the <head>
section in the main index.php but that didn't work.
Thanks,
~Eric
Hi,
I've installed MediaWiki in http://www.startux.org/index.php
I've also changed the logo as described in MediaWiki's FAQ.
But tha fact is that the new logo appears in all pages except the main one.
Any ideas ?
Any help would be apreciated.
Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito
Hello. Is there any wiki syntax to include in [URL links] that will open
the link in a new browser/window? Or do I need to revert to using regular a
href and target HTML tags? The majority of my wiki users do not know HTML,
so I'm hoping there's a wiki syntax alternative.
Thanks,
Colleen Robledo
How do you suggest I hack MediaWiki to give partial disablement of interwiki
links?
I have currently 2 (of an eventual 70+) languages setup:
http://en.chainki.org (with $wgHideInterlanguageLinks = true; in
LocalSettings.php)
http://fr.chainki.org (with $wgHideInterlanguageLinks = false; in
LocalSetting.php - links to "English" work)
What I would like to do is display the interlanguage links only for those
languages which are currently installed. Normally one would not have
interlanguage links to languages which don't exist (duh!), but in this case,
when I set up each new language the interlanguage links will then work.
Is there an easy way to only display links for certain languages?
I notice that there are classes like <li class="interwiki-es"> and I wonder
if I could hack these classes to make the unwanted languages "invisible"
(maybe white on white); if so, where and how?
Or any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Hugh
Thanks.
I did see that it was giving /favicon.ico which wasn't what I wanted.
I thought I needed it without the slash in front so I needed to find the
place to change it.
I greped the files in the wiki root for favicon and found something in
the history and found the following.
* (bug 4303) Add $wgFavicon to change the shorticon icon link from
the default /favicon.ico or disable it (if set to false)
So I tried $wgFavicon = "favicon.ico"; and that still didn't work but
using $wgFavicon = "../favicon.ico" worked just fine.
What directory was $wgFavicon = "favicon.ico" referring to that I would
have to go a directory up?
What directory was $wgFavicon = "/favicon.ico" referring to?
Thanks,
~Eric
-----Original Message-----
When I did mine, I just copied my own favicon.ico into the wiki root
directory. The MediaWiki code is already setup to handle it. (View
the main page in your browser and view the source. You'll see it
about line #6.)

Hello,
on my private MediaWiki (1.6.8) I have implemented a custom skin (so this is
*inside* the skin class) with a hack that filters for some special article
titles and does all kinds of stuff *instead of* calling
$this->html('bodytext'). To check for the titles, I use
$wgParser->mTitle->getText(). However, it appears that this method only
works if the article does not actually exist. If there is an article with
that title in the database, $wgParser->mTitle is NULL when I'm viewing the
article (however, not when it's being edited, deleted or anything else). Is
this a bug or am I just doing something really stupid?

I want to know how can I use Javascript in mediaWiki extension I'm working
on?
I know a lot about JS in usual programming, but here in Wiki I'm little
confused.
Is there any tutorial for this ?

Hi,
I just updated from 1.6.8 to 1.7.1 and everything seemd to work. But
when I save a page/ article, I sometimes get the following error:
"REPLACE INTO 'searchindex' (si_page,si_title,si_text) VALUES
('2815','sudan',' text bla blubb')
in function "SearchMySQL4::update" error:"1062: Duplicate entry ' ' for
key 3 (localhost)"
When I updated I immediately got the error that something is not right
with table "searchindex" and I have to repair it.
I repaired it with "REPAIR TABLE searchindex". After that I got the
error mentioned at the beginning. When I analyze the table ("CHECK TABLE
searchindex") I get the following messages:
"table: wiki.searchindex ; op: check ; msg_type: error ; msg_text: key
in wrong position at page 50176
table: wiki.searchindex ; op: check ; msg_type: error ; msg_text: corrupt"
If I repair table again, I get the error again next time I analyze the
table.
What can I do about this? If you need further information, I can send it.
version: mediawiki 1.7.1
php: 5.1.4
mySQL: 5.0.20-max-log
Thanks so far,
Dars
Hello
Something strange has happened to my Wiki installation. Any attempt to view
any part of the wiki results in an error from my browser saying
An error occurred while loading http://www.piku.org.uk/wiki/index.php:
Found a cyclic link in http://www.piku.org.uk/wiki/index.php/Main_Page.
Is this likely to be a MediaWiki error or something strange with my website
itself? Other parts of my site that don't involve MediaWiki work correctly,
it's just as soon as I go into the /wiki directory with a browser a cyclic
link appears from somewhere.
Does anyone have any ideas?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
