Hi,
I have added the ShowHide extension on my Wiki (believe it is `.8 -
latest stable version). When I copied the example into a page and "Show
Preview", it works fine with the hidden text hidden and viewable upon
click on the show link. However, when I save the page, both the hidden
and shown text are displayed.
Can figure out what is wrong. Any idea?

Hello everyone. I am trying to figure out how to get that side bar "in
other languages" working on my Wiki site.
In a page called sandbox, I put at the bottom a link [[de:Sandbox]] but
it just stayed as a link on the bottom of the page instead of making its
way into a new sidebar on the left.
What do I have to do to get this working? Is it just a matter of
creating the sidebar? If so, how do I do that.
Any help is appreciated, I tried looking around but couldn't find much
of anything.

Hi all,
I encountered numerous invalid multi byte chars in the svwiki (Swedish)
xml-dump as of y2006-m12-d08. I found some 74 errors using Delphi's
Utf8ToAnsi(S) conversion routine (Delphi returns '', that is, empty
strings on errors). I haven't yet confirmed it but I suspect the
malformed chars originate from interwiki links (a bad bot?).
However, the dumps are not even accepted by Xml2Sql.exe and that's bad
to say the least.
Is there any cheap trick to make a "bit- or byte-wise wash" of the xml
dump-files? Or is there any tool out there capable of streaming through
huge files tidying them up? (I can make my own "bitwise wash/mask" with
Delphi-code if I just knew for sure what general bit-pattern (if any) to
apply on the file).
Hints about how to best fix/tidy up the xml-files, anyone?

All,
I've noticed that some of the issues effecting my wiki seem to be
related to the fact that it sits behind a corporate firewall, and the
wiki won't pull the data from external sites (say for an RSS feed) due
to the proxy.
Is there a way for me to tell MediaWiki the proxy settings (port,
username, password) required for it to then be able to use the proxy?
Thanks,
Dave Green
Hello:
I've created a template of navigational links that I would like to
display at the top of certain pages in place of the site notice. I'm
using the monobook skin. I'd like to do this with as little hacking
as possible. Should I create a new system message? If so, what is the
least invasive way to do this? And, how do I pass the value of the
system message through to monobook.php?
Thanks in advance for you help,

Hello,
I am looking for a tool to convert wiki tables (and all wiki syntax in
general) to html. I have tried wiki2html but that doesnt seem to work for
tables.
Thank you for your time.

Hi there,
I like to design a template that puts the page into a certain category when
used .
But I do not like the template itself to appear in that category.
Therefore the option [[Category:MyCategory]] on the template page will not
do the trick.
I am sure the solution is easy but somehow .

I hope folk will understand that I don't really want to have to do this,
but following a slight problem I've been asked to look at providing a
mechanism for approval of pages on a wiki that we are running to deliver
social services policy & procedures to staff.
I had set it up so that only logins in the group 'editors' could change
the article text but allowed all logins to edit the talk pages, however
management want me to add a system so that changes to the 'article' page
are approved before they are visible to everyone. This goes against the
ethos of the wiki I know, but all our users find the wiki very easy to
use to find things in and appreciate the ability to add to the talk pages.
Accepting that I'm going to have to do this, or move the whole lot into
something else and loose the advantages of the wiki for users, I would
appreciate comments on the following approach.
I would have two special groups of users, 'editors' and 'approvers'
Mediawiki already has multiple versions of pages in the revision table,
I am proposing to add a new field to the pages table pages.page_auth and
would populate this with the revision.rev_id of the last authorised
revision of the page, similar to pages.page_latest having the
revision.rev_id of the latest version.
If a person browsing the wiki is not in either the editors or approvers
groups then the page would be rendered using the rev_id in the new
pages.page_auth rather than the one in pages.page_latest. This would
allow users to see the latest authorised version but allow editors to
continue developing the pages.
I would also add two further fields to the pages table pages.ready_auth
and pages.previous_auth, as well as a new field in revision
revision.authed_by, this would allow me to:-
1. add a tab on the screen (like the watch / unwatch) visible to
'editors' that would allow them to set/unset the binary flag
pages.ready_auth to show a page is ready to be authorised, generating a
list of approvals waiting for the appovers
2. add a tab on the screen (like the watch / unwatch) visible to
approvers that would allow them to approve the page, when they do this I
would get the value currently in the pages.page_auth copied to
pages.previous_auth so we can roll back to the previously authorised
version if needed, copy the current pages.page_latest to pages.page_auth
so that normal user would now see the newly approved revision. I can
also record in the revision.authed_by who authorised the the page to go
live.
3. If a page is has been authorised but needs to rolled back we now have
the previous revision in pages.previous_auth so we can roll back.
I know this is not what we all want wiki's for but rather than loose
what we have have I missed any really salient points in what I'm trying
to do.

http://www.mywhatever.org/mywiki changes to http://64.xxx.xxx.xxx/mywiki
in the browser. Also, email notifications have the the IP address
instead of the domain name. This is probably due to some config change I
made, but I can't find it.
It doesn't happen on pages that are not generated by Mediawiki, so I'm
fairly certain it doesn't have anything to do with Apache.
A pointer to the small change needed would be appreciated.
Thanks,
