HI All.
I've been trying to get information from a html form.
The $_POST variable is always empty.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Chris

Hi,
I have a site that will have information about programming languages. My
questions concern the organization of that information, and I wanted to know
if the way I am planning on doing it is correct, or if theres a better way.
- I have a namespace for each programming language. I think this is
necessary, because:
---- It allows users to search within articles for only particular
languages.
---- It allows articles of the same name to live under each language (e.g.
LangJava:Arrays, LangC:Arrays, etc.)
- As far as I have found out. Categories are common for the whole site. So,
the cateogory Arrays, can be a subcategory of other cateogies (e.g.
LangJava, LangC) but it will just be one category. For example, the
categories Category:LangJava:Arrays and Category:LangC:Arrays both point to
the same category (Arrays), not to two different sub categories.
So heres my question. Do categories that are similar between all programming
languages, (e.g. Arrays) have to be labeled differently (e.g. JavaArrays,
CArrays) for them to be disctint, or am I missing something... Because, if a
user wants to check Arrays articles for Java, they should be able to look
through a category for only Java Arrays.
- Another question is, it seems that namespaces and categories are not
really mutually exclusive, so, I need namespaces like (LangJava, LangC) AND
articles found within these namespaces must belong to categories like
(Category:LangJava, Category:LangC) as well?
Do the above methods seem reasonable or have I totally missed the correct
way of organizing information?
Thanks!

Hi, our system administrators recently upgraded the version of MySQL
they are running and one of the wikis I run has begun failing. I have
another MediaWiki running 1.4.x and it doesn't seem to have any
problems, but my wiki running 1.5.2 began failing reporting messages
like "Error in fetchObject(): MySQL server has gone away". I tried
installing a newer version of PHP (5.1.6), which didn't work. I also
tried upgrading to MediaWiki 1.7.1, which seems to be working a little
better, but it fails before it writes the LocalSettings.php file.
Does anyone have any ideas of what to try next?
Alternately is there a tool that I could use to do dump all the wiki
pages to something vaguely like the MediaWiki markup such that I could
just start over completely from scratch if needed?

Hi,
If I name my articles like (Java:Arrays) and then *later on* create a
namespace called Java, will the articles having the "Java:" automatically be
added to the Java namespace?
I don't have a setup to try this right now, so any experience with this
would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
i am absolute sure it works yesterday but today i get always the
following error display:
<b>Warning</b>: filename: UtfNormalData.inc, exec_fname:
/var/www/web127/html/mediawiki/includes/normal/UtfNormal.php, filepath:
/var/www/web127/html/mediawiki/includes/normal/UtfNormalData.inc in
<b>/var/www/web127/html/mediawiki/includes/normal/UtfNormal.php</b> on
line <b>224</b><br />
for all article that contains ÄÖÜäöü (umlauts) in the title.
I am surprised what happend, nothing was changed in the config in the
wiki, and how to fix the problem.
MediaWiki: 1.7.1
PHP: 5.1.4-1.dotdeb.3 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL: 5.0.22-Debian_1.dotdeb.1-log

I did not encounter such problems.

Hello,
we'd like to replace our MoinMoin wiki (version 1.1) by mediawiki. Is
it possible to transfer MoinMoin wiki files automaticly into wikimedia
database and format?
Or atleast convert the syntax?
Thanks
Thorsten
Thanks for your help! I reverted my skin-touching blunder, just
downloaded the PHP script file (instead of copy pasting it into a .php
file) and reuploaded it...now everything is running smoothly...
Kind regards,
Birger

I migrated from Version 1.5.5 of mediawiki to 1.6.8 and everything worked fine. After that i moved the database via mysqldump to a new machine and also the mediawiki directory via tar command.
Now I get an error like:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
/home/test/public_html/includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 794
This is line 794 and the following lines:
$revid = $wgArticle->getLatest();
if ( !( $revid == 0 ) )
$nav_urls['print'] = array(
'text' => wfMsg( 'printableversion' ),
'href' => $wgRequest->appendQuery( 'printable=yes' )
Any ideas??
