Hi,
I am trying to setup a wiki which will have articles on programming
lanugages (c, java, c#, etc). And some articles may be general topics which
belong to multiple languages.
As far as I could determine from the help pages, I need to setup categories
for each language. Is that the preferred method?
- I would like to allow people th ability to search/browse all the
programming languages, or just within one language. I assume that categories
will allow this?
Here is where it gets complicated. I would also like to appoint some users
as moderators for a particular programming language. I think the only way to
do this is to setup a namespace for each programming language? Because I
could only find information that said that group permissions can be assigned
to work on namespaces, (not categories?).
Should I setup a different namespace for each programming language? And will
this still allow the articles to be searched and linked between each other?
Or, can I assign permissions to users restricted by category?
Thanks.

I'm running a couple 1.7.1 installs as bureaucrat/sysop. When I
export the following seven pages to one XML file and then import them
to a separate fresh MediaWiki install, these work:
MediaWiki:Sidebar
MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage
MediaWiki:Aboutpage
MediaWiki:Privacypage
...and these don't:
MediaWiki:Common.css
MediaWiki:Monobook.js
MediaWiki:Newarticletext
Even when I try to import them one at a time, the pages claim to have
been imported, but then nothing shows up in the page history (i.e. no
new revision is created). I can edit the wikitext for those pages
manually...just can't import.
Is there something special about those pages that prevents XML
importing? Thanks.

After several bouts of experimenting, I found that this ini_set()
addition to LocalSettings.php did the trick for 1.4.4. I couldn't get
$wgCookiePath settings to make any difference.
ini_set("session.name", "{$wgSitename}Session");

It seems like it would be a common request, but I can't seem to find
the solution. How can I set the time offset so that time variables
like {{CURRENTDAYNAME}} are based on something other than UTC. I am
running mediawiki for a small group of geographically homogeneous
users and having things be based on UTC is very confusing for them.
I have read http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2004-April/000357.html
but that seems to be addressing a different problem.
Thanks for your help :)

Hello. Perhaps Mediawiki needs some new feature afterall:
How do I download all the document pages with the external-editing
feature? And anonymously. With CVS I just do "cvs -z3 -d *** co module"
and I do get all of the latest version. Simple.
How do I download the complete history of the wiki document? With
SourceForge I may rsync the CVS root and get the complete history
of the sources. Simple.
Ability to download all the source-data of a wiki document is important
if I want fork and create my own version of a GNU or Creative Commons
licensed document. Downloading the document with wget does not work.
I'm not after a complete history but the history would be useful
for tracking who made the changes -- who deserves the credits.

Hello,
i have the following code in my template:
<span class="plainlinks">[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{{Link}}}}}
ext_img_ling]</span>
In FF this seems to work, but in IE and Opera I get:
..?title=%E2%80%8ELink

MW 1.4.4, PHP 4.3.10, mySQL 4.0.21 running on company intranet server
(Windows 2003, Apache 2.0.52). 2 separate wiki's configured and running
out of separate databases.
Can't keep users logged in to both wikis simultaneously. I want to have
my interwiki links between the two wikis work without constantly having
to log in back and fourth into the current wiki. I understand the need
to maintain 2 separate sets of user accounts, but I'd sure like to be
able to have a user log in once to each wiki and have that remembered.
Any suggestions?

Need a spelling checker in our Wiki, and there is not much around (which I
find stunning), there is one that uses Google spelling services
(wikispeller), which is not acceptable, the only other option I found was
SCIJAX. Have installed the extension, however, the install docs are out of
date regarding how to add the hooks, and not suitable for MediaWiki 1.7.1
I have added the hook to where it seems suitable. And it appears to work,
I get the spelling button on my edit page, Clicking it shows mis-spellings
are links that show suggestions. Clicking a suggestion changes the
mispelt text (so far so good).
However, the MediaWiki Save Changes and Show Preview buttons then
disappear, leaving only the Show Changes. So any spelling changes cannot
be saved. Clicking the spell checker a 2nd time, REALLY screws things up,
and messes up the formatting totally.
Anyone got SCIJAX spelling checker working with MediaWiki 1.71? Like I
said, it may be the way I have added the extension. Here is what I did:
1/ Right at the end of LocalSettings.php (before ?>), I added:
require( "extensions/spellcheckext.php" );
2/ copied the extensions and images to the correct directories.
3/ edited the main.CSS as described in the readme.
4/ edited includes/EditPage.php and added the following line
wfRunHooks( 'EditPageToolbar', array( &$toolbar, NULL ) ); to the 3rd
row from the bottom of function getEditToolbar()
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I have seen hints of this being covered in the past but no exact answers.
My webhost, Pair, supports PHP4 through an apache module and PHP5 through
the CGI processor. Has anyone succesfully installed Mediawiki 1.7.1 in this
kind of environment and be willing to share how this is done? Or point to a
resource? I get the "PHP 5.0.0 or higher is required. ABORTING" notice.
I'm out of my depth and my Google searches are coming up blank.
