MediaWiki 2.0 Development
by Virgil Ierubino 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

If a user (like myself) happened to take it upon himself to begin work on coding brand new wiki software based on MediaWiki, and released it under a free license, and made it fairly easy to upgrade to on a server running a MediaWiki database (i.e. just change all the PHP files), and it was (assume this) in fact much better than MediaWiki 1.10a, would the Wikimedia Foundation adopt it for its projects? Just a question. Because MediaWiki 2.0 would be pretty sexy, but no one seems to be proactive about it. And I'd like to be.

Toolbar buttons
by Sandy Rozhon 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

While looking at Wikipedia's help file for table syntax, I noticed that they showed an image of a long toolbar that included buttons for creating tables, rows, cells. Is this something that can be configured in MediaWiki? My installation doesn't have those. Sandy

Migration from 1.4 to 1.9 !!!
by Fernando Carpani - INCO 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hello. I need to migrate a private wiki with 1150 pages and a lot of uploaded files. This wiki is running over MediaWiki 1.4.5 and I want to go to 1.9.1 ... (if posible with postgresql) I modified a version of the maintenance/Export.php that seems to work fine in 1.4.5, but this not resolve the migration of uploaded files. I tried to migrate from 1.4.5 to 1.6.8 following the instructions but, this method was unsuccesful. Somebody knows an effective way to do this or have a recomendation? Thanks. Fernando Carpani.

Is there any word on when PageSecurity will work with MediaWiki 1.9? I now have a need for the extension, but I've already upgraded my wiki.

links case sensitivity (and subpages)
by Ittay Dror 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Is there a way to make links case insensitive (that is [[FOO]] and [[foo]] point to the same article)? is there a way to make the existing behavior (first letter's case doesn't matter) apply to subpages (so [[../Child]] and [[../child]] are the same)?

Wrong time shown in ~~~~ signatures
by Adam Nielsen 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hi all, I've successfully got a MediaWiki up and running (version 1.8.2) and I've set the correct timezone in my user preferences. All the history pages and everything show the correct time, however when I sign a page with ~~~~ the time that comes up is an hour ahead of my localtime. I've searched the archives but I couldn't find any solutions to this, so I was wondering whether anyone might know where to start looking. Thanks, Adam.

LuceneSearch::doTitlePrefixSearch()
by Kasimir Gabert 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hello, I have implemented Lucene search in my MW 1.9.1 installation, and everything is working fine. However, I want to have title suggestions, and as it appears it exists and was enabled by default, but when I try to enable it (after disabling it) I get the error: Fatal error: Call to undefined method LuceneSearch::doTitlePrefixSearch() in {MY LOCAL FOLDER}/w/extensions/lucene/LuceneSearch body.php on line 299 in a <a> tag right beneath my search text bar. I do have sleepycat installed. I am wondering whether this has been implemented yet, or whether it is on somebody's TODO list. Thanks, Kasimir -- Kasimir Gabert

Hosed MediaWiki installation?
by Curulan Angelicos 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings all. I am posting here because I really have no idea where to look next. If there is a FAQ or some other resource that solves my problem, I will appreciate the linking and then I will no longer bother you with my questions. :) What has happened is that I attempted recently up upgrade an existing MediaWiki installation from version 1.6.7 to version 1.6.9. I was not the one who set up the installation, as I am a novice when it comes to PHP and SQL. Unfortunately, the person who set it up for me has been unreachable for the past six months. The upgrade process itself did not give me any obvious errors, however whenever I, or another user, try to update an article, we are given the error "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." Logging out then re-logging has no effect; the error still occurs and no changes can be made to the wiki. Doing a complete file restore from a backup gives me the same issue. The wiki worked as expected before the attempted upgrade and downgrade. Now I come to the questions themselves: Might I have corrupted a file (or many) or CHMOD in the course of the update? If so, how would I fix this, since restoring to an earlier file-state does not correct the issue? If this is not the problem, might there have been damage to the SQL database somehow? My other question is (if it comes to this): How simple would to be to create a *brand new* MediaWiki installation using the data from the old database? Would it be recommended to use a new database for the tables? The current MediaWiki tables share a database with a phpMyFAQ installation -- could this be a problem as well? Apologies if I am wasting your time here, and if any of this is unclear, please ask and I will try to better explain.

Loss of Session Data
by Travian Wiki 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

When I login and try to post on my wiki I get an error, "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." I will occasionally get this error when I try to edit as a guest, but get it 100% of the time when I post as a user. I can logout and login again, I click "Remember Me", I have tired clearing my cache (cookies/history), nothing works. How do I fix this?
