Apologies for repost but I need help with this ASAP
by Nicholas Buttle 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Just installed MediaWiki on OS X and I have an internal page with a space in the name... Can't seem to link to the page!!!! Page name is: 'Drawing Numbering' Link is [[Drawing Numbering]] Pages without spaces in the name link ok. I've tried [[Drawing_Numbering]] and [[Drawing%20Numbering]] but neither work. As I mentioned previously I set up MW last night on my PC in about 5 minutes. @$^%@$%^ Mac is proving a pain!!! Any help appreciated.

Variables from Wikipedia to local wiki
by Armin Kniesel 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Hi, at (german) wikipedia you can find the variables like {{LOCALHOUR}} which is used in templates like "Date display". See at german wikipedia <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:VAR> . But on the local wiki these variables are missing. How can i add them to display the local time and not UTC-time? Thanks in advance. Armin

Usage of the meta description tag
by Mathias Schindler 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Hi, as far as I can see, MediaWiki does currently not provide a meta description tag such as <meta name="description" content="India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country, and the largest liberal democracy in the world."/> for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India. It seems that several search engines make use of such a tag, such as google. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGGL,GGGL:2… will give out every indexed page on lexikon.meyers.de (which is a pretty hacked MediaWiki, by the way). The "Erfahren sie mehr über $LEMMA in Meyers Lexikon online." is coming from the description part. Is there a point in having such a tag for MediaWiki (the first x chars of the leadsection text of that page) and therefore, is there a point in filing a feature request on bugzilla for it? Mathias

Math formula support
by Yusuf Mohsinally 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Hi, I am trying to get math formula's to appear. First I got the following: Failed to parse (Missing texvc executable; please see math/README to configure.): \sqrt 9 = 3 then I compiled and installed the texvc executable. Now I get the following: Failed to parse (unknown error): \sqrt 9 = 3 The only change (other than copying the texvc executable to the /math/ dir) is to make the setting in LocalSettings.php to: $wgUseTeX = true; P.S. I am getting mediawiki hosted, so I don't have full run of the apache server, etc... Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ All-in-one security and maintenance for your PC.

LiquidThreads
by Aaron Sherman 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

I'm embarking on a project at work, using MediaWiki, and one of the things that would make it far more useful would be LiquidThreads, so I'm wondering, what stage is that at? Should I be holding off on installing for a few weeks while it's tested, or should I plan on a major upgrade in a few months or so? Or is it even further out on the horizon/stalled?

http get parameters in mediawiki extensions
by Marco Balmer 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello at all, I searched a lot to get a answer, but I didn't found it. Is it possible to get the HTTP GET parameters directly to a self made mediawiki extension which is installed in ./extensions? Something like http://www.domain.tld/wiki/index.php/Mainpage?test=myvalue Any other solution to get the parameter into the extension?

Re: [Mediawiki-l] editing the sidebar
by Jimmy Collins 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

No. And they should update to 1.6.8 or 1.7.1 for security reasons...
