Hi,
I've had success dealing with link spam by setting up the ConfirmEdit
extension, but a strange kind of vandalism continues to invade my
wiki. Several times each week, an anonymous user will add a nonsense
word (or words) to the top of a page. For example:
zbnpujhgr
And that's it! Just one word of gibberish (different gibberish each
time). Spam links or spammy-sounding text (e.g., penny-stock adverts)
are never added.
It's a different IP every time, so perhaps it's some sort of botnet
vandalizing a bunch of wiki sites. However, I don't know of anyone
else having this problem, and I can't understand why any spammer
would bother adding nonsense words to a wiki. Has anyone encountered
this before?
Regardless of the reason, I'd like to find a better way of dealing
with the problem. Right now I'm just monitoring the Recent Changes
page with my RSS reader and manually rolling back the vandalism when
I see it, but that takes time. Is there a better way?
Thanks,
Trevor
Hello,
I'd like to assert preferences on the users, in order to make sure they recieve emails a certain way. Where can I find out how to fully use the "setOption()" function?
I am already using it to assert the user's skin choice as:
$user->setOption('skin','monobook');
$saveSettings = true;
in the function: "updateUser( &$user )" in my "LdapAuthentication.php" file.
thanks,
- Rich

Instead of injecting an <img>, try just removing the style attribute
on the <a> tag altogether. Then add this to MediaWiki:Monobook.css or
MediaWiki:Common.css:
#p-logo a {
background-image: url(/path/to/default-image.gif);
}
#p-logo a:hover {
background-image: url(/path/to/hover-image.gif);
}

I posted my suggestion about making 'cancel' a button rather than a
link to wikien-l, and other feature suggestions are coming through.

Gmail and LiveJournal do this. They do it with JavaScript that
degrades gracefully - if you don't have it the feature isn't there.
What are the devs' views on this sort of JS enhancement to the UI?

Hello again,
another question:
in wikipedia there is a bar with special characters (e.a. hebraic, greeq
and such as | etc..).
How can I implement them in mediawiki?
I really need hebraic and greeq characters.
I suppose that it has to be with monobook.js, cause I found similar mods
in there...
but
1. I didn't found THIS mod
2. I didn't found monobook.js in my installation (no, I'm not stupid...
I really think it is not there!)
Thanks for help!

Why did you add the <img> tag to the Monobook skin? It should be
sufficient to edit only the [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] article to do
what you want.

Hallo!
I've created a new namespace under MediaWiki 1.10.0 and want to move a
bunch of pages to this namespace (without leaving a redirect page). Is
there a possibility to do this in a kind of batch-mode, moving all these
pages and deleting the redirects manually is an annoying work.

Good Afternoon.
We were looking at the MediaWiki software and I was wondering the
following.
1. What are the hardware requirements or recommendations for the
new version 1.10
2. What is the recommended OS? Looks like it runs on LINUX and
Windows.
3. Does anyone have an estimate to the amount of time it takes to
install/configure the server?
4. Are there known issues problems that cause any real problems?
Sorry for all the questions but this is all new to me.
Thanks
Eric
