Mediawiki problem
by elisa.cooper＠breakingranks.net 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

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. ~ Elisa -- World Without Rankism http://www.breakingranks.net

favicon
by Frederich, Eric P2173 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

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

Target new browser in wiki syntax?
by Colleen Robledo 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

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

Partial disablement of interwiki links
by Hugh Prior 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

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

Re: [Mediawiki-l] favicon
by Frederich, Eric P2173 27 Jul '06

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.) -- Raquel ============================================================ There is only one success; to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it. --Christopher Darlington Morley _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

$wgParser->mTitle not defined on viewing?
by Ev. Jugend im Kirchenkreis Bleckede - Website 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

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? Julian

Error after upgrading from 1.6.8 to 1.7.1
by DarsVaeda 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

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

Fixing cyclic links
by James 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

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?
