Hello all ...
I have a newly-funded company located in Los Angeles, and we're very
actively seeking a mediawiki expert -- someone familiar enough with
the source code to modify / extend it. If you're interested, send me
a resume. Offices will be in Westwood (moving in Feb 1), competitive
salary / benefits etc.

Hello.
In my attempt to use mediawiki for my faculty's intranet, a new obstacle just
caught my attention. I guess this would happen with most languages, not only
spanish.
Question in this message:
*) Is there a way to make somthing like the Wrongtitle template, that instead of
showing the "technical restrictions" message, would just render the right page
title? I'm not afraid of digging into the code if necesary, I just need pointers
on where to begin.
Rationale:
Most of my page titles have accents, tildes or other non-ascii characters. For
instance, a link to the page about Logics ([[Lógica]]) would be
http://mywiki/wiki/Lógica, wich in turns would get rendered by the browser as
http://mywiki/wiki/L%C3%B3gica. Not only that url is near-to-impossible for our
users to learn, but also to type if they know that "%C3%B3" is "ó" but don't
have an spanish keyboard available (very common, as most people in my faculty
find the english layout a lot easier for programming). So I proposed the idea of
using either [[Logica|Lógica]] or rewriting the [[]] parser code, so that the
[[Lógica]] link would get rendered as "Lógica" in the text, but link to
"/wiki/Logica".
So far, no problems... except that when the user visits the now /wiki/Logica
link, the text reads "Logica" as the page title (I know it is parsed directly
from the URL, so it wasn't unexpected). Is there any way to make the page
display the right title instead of the one parsed from the url? (something like
the {{Template:Wrongtitle}}, but instead of rendering a "technical restrictions
warning", just fixing the title). I'm not afraid of digging into the code, but I
just don't know where to start.
On a related note, I would like to be able to correct some misstypings on the
url, i.e, if the url does not exist and there is another very similar
(levenshtein distance), return a redirection page pointing to the right article.
This seems more complex, so I won't dig into it just yet, but if you know of an
extension that would let me do this, please tell me.
Everytime I try to use/edit categories on my WIKI pages, I get a
fatal error to undefined function openshowcategory.
Is this a known bug in v1.6.4?

Will master to master mysql replication will work on MediaWiki?
It it work it can give you redundancy and the read load will be split.

I've seen this on the release notes for 1.9.1:
> * (bug 8673) Minor fix for web service API content-type header
What is the web service API? I couldn't find information about it on Google
and on MediaWiki.
Hi,
Maybe someone knows how to create links using template? I'm trying to make a
template like this:
[{{{link}}} {{{title}}}]
So the external link and let user specify both link and title while using
template. It may seem to be more diff than just pressing a button, but it
may find a good use in some cases.
I thought about using absolute html extensions
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Joncutrer/Extensions/absHTML and making
template:
<abshtml><a href="{{{link}}}" target="_blank">{{{title}}}</a></abshtml>
This way it should be also possible to link to network drives. However it's
not working. It makes a link to:
http://wiki/{{{link}}} ;( or maybe there is other way to achieve such
results?
thx in advance.

Is there a way that I can make it so that only admins/sysops can edit
Talk pages? I'm slowly trying to edit the Talk/Discussion/Comments
system so that it works a little more like on a blog. E.g. time
stamps and signatures would be automatic, each comment would be
formatted appropriately, and no one person can edit or change all the
previous comments.
So basically, I want to make it so that if a user tries to access
"User:Somebody&action=edit", it isn't allowed; but if they access
"User:Somebody&action=edit§ion=new", it is. Is this possible?
Thanks.
Hi! I don't understand why these people sent me th email and I can't answer them. Why my kid brother applying for reserve air force and been exploited, and by the way he is a very good student , one of those highest grades in us high school graduate. I know, I know your Darwinists would fishly take over the infro and stabbing them in the back.

Well, I'm not looking to protect data, just set permissions on edit
pages, which PageSecurity is more than adequate for. If you have a
better way, please let me know. Otherwise, I was just trying to get
feedback on timing - since I've seen the author post on this list.

I'm editing pages in which all of my links are to sibling subpages. Can I define this somehow in mediawiki, so all [[page]] links are resolved as [[../page]]?
thanks,
ittay
