Ok thanks for the answers! But I don't understand a nut about $wgNamespaceProtection, is there an example to allow all registered users to just be able to edit talk tabs?

Important MediaWiki-related announcements (such as new versions) are also posted to this list. Other resources. If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to mediawiki-announce[1] instead. MediaWiki development discussion, and all Wikimedia technical questions, should be directed to the wikitech-l[2] mailing list. Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist: - mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions, - mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise, - mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subversion repository, - mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support, - wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker. List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives). To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [12]. Archives of previous postings can be found at [3]. This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to read and post to the list. Posting to the list. Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if your question has been asked before. Please try to ask your question in a way that enables people to answer you. Provide all relevant details, explain your problem clearly, etc. You may wish to read [13], which explains how to ask questions well. To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you send. When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting style[11], for clarity. When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post. Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list, which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the list in general, you should change the reply to only go to that person.

Installation error with 1.11.0
by Simon Renshaw 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hi, I installed a new 1.11.0 wiki and I see the following error after installation: PHP Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in C:\Inetpub\testwiki\includes\LinkBatch.php on line 163 First time I see that and my 1.10.X wikis are working fine. I got this before installing: * PHP 5.0.5 installed * Found database drivers for: MySQL * PHP server API is cgi-fcgi; using ugly URLs (index.php?title=Page_Title) * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * Warning: A value for session.save_path has not been set in PHP.ini. If the default value causes problems with saving session data, set it to a valid path which is read/write/execute for the user your web server is running under. * PHP is configured with no memory_limit. * Couldn't find Turck MMCache, eAccelerator, APC or XCache; cannot use these for object caching. * GNU diff3 not found. * Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. * Installation directory: C:\Inetpub\testwiki * Script URI path: /testwiki * Installing MediaWiki with php file extensions * Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki. Any idea? Thanks! Simon

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Problem after upgrading to PHP Version 5.2.5
by Charlie Markwick 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

I have now tracked down the cause of this. The new php.ini file writes session.save_path as your profile %tmp% path, which on windows is rarely writable by the application. This needs to be changed to something PHP and IIS can use such as c:\windows\temp., while it is being done it is best to reset upload_tmp_dir as well. Once done and the server rebooted the wiki is back to normal. Charlie -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Markwick Sent: 21 November 2007 07:57 To: 'MediaWiki announcements and site admin list' Subject: Problem after upgrading to PHP Version 5.2.5 I have just upgraded my web server from 5.0.2 and now my wiki appears to be broken. It displays content fine as far as I can tell. However in Firefox when I hut save after editing a page I'm taken to Preview and can't saved the edit whatever I try. When I try the same thing with IE7 just tells me that The page can not be displayed.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Adding a visitor map?

Sandy: Here is what you would need to do: First, you'll need to allow external images to be displayed in your wiki. To do this, in your localsettings.pgp file, set $wgAllowExternalImages = true; Then, the code to place on your page would be something like this: [http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=1234567 http://www.maploco.com/vmap/1234567.png] [http://www.maploco.com/ Create your own visitor map!] Tim > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Adding a visitor map? > From: "Sandy Rozhon" <srozhon(a)oh.rr.com> > Date: Wed, November 21, 2007 9:20 am > To: <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > > MapLoco has a really nice little visitor map that can be inserted > into a webpage.

Run rebuildlinks with a special page (no console access)
by Sylvain Machefert 21 Nov '07

Hello ! Is there a way to run the rebuild links via a special page ? Like the "delete old revision" script. I don't have access to console on my shared host. Thanks in advance -- Sylvain Machefert http://www.tousauxbalkans.net http://iubito.free.fr/blog/

Adding a visitor map?
by Sandy Rozhon 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

MapLoco has a really nice little visitor map that can be inserted into a webpage. They provide the following code, but it won't work as is in a Mediawiki page. How can it be altered so it can be used? <a href="http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=1234567"><img border=0 src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/1234567.png" alt="Visitor Map"></a><br><a href="http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a> Sandy
