Automatical loginscript for my wiki
by Jack van Rock 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

Hello, I want to write a script which automatically logs the user in the wiki. The reason why I want to write such a script is that the wiki becomes a part of the big website which has an own internal area for the users. Both sytsems are sepereated. But I want the user to log in only one time. So I need this script. I have the right username and the right password. That is why checking of the username and password is not nessecary. This is my attempt of the script. But it doens't work: <?php $_GET['action'] = "login"; $_GET['lgname'] = "Admin"; $_GET['lgpassword'] = "Admin"; require_once("api.php"); ?> Maybe it helps you to understand what I want to have. Thanks in advance! Jack

Accents & Umlaute
by zelulax 25 Dec '07

25 Dec '07

Hi all, I'm installing several language wikis, among others german and spanish, that need accents and "Umlauts" in some article names. Is there any way to set wiki to ignore those accents/Umlauts? Example: when adding the article "España", when the user types in "Espana" he should be redirected automatically to "España". I used the function #REDIRECT [[Article Name]], but the main problem is: the redirection counts as another article, so the statistic (total page number) is not correct. Any alternative available? Thanks in advance Z.

Passing template variables to extensions
by >Raul< 23 Dec '07

23 Dec '07

I've searched a lot about this topic but except a patch for 1.5 I not found any solution consistent. The problem is I cannot pass parameters to an extension from a template: Template:Any <myExtension>{{{1}}}</myExtension> The parser is calling myExtensions before evaluate the template variables, getting the extension allways the value '{{{1}}}'. I'm using 1.11.0, which aproach should I do?

Number of articles

Hi all, with {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} you let the visitor know how many articles are published in your wiki. This works fine within the wiki project, but is there a way to show the number of articles OUTSIDE the wiki? I mean, for example: - domain.com/wiki/ ---> {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} works fine when called within the wiki - domain.com/welcome.html ---> a normal html welcome page that has nothing to do with the wiki Thanks in advance!

MoinMoin <-> MediaWiki page
by David Gerard 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MoinMoin Covers most of what we've talked about in this thread, links to similar discussions on moinmo.in . The workplace effort to fully convert the old wiki from Moin to MW has been abandoned, after we ascertained that most of what was in the old wiki was outdated enough to be literally worse than nothing ;-) So we're currently porting information over from the old wiki one page at a time, as said page is checked for up-to-date correctness. To this end, I've written a crappy Perl CGI that uses the Filter() subroutine from the Littlejohn Consulting mm2mw.pl script, with some tweaks that I'll be adding to the above page in due course. - d.

Preloading TeX packages
by Aaron Gray 21 Dec '07

Is there anyway to preload TeX packages ? \usepackage does not seem to work in MediaWiki. I need to load the mathptmx and mathrsfs packages to get certain characters. Many thanks in advance, Aaron

WAP ?
by Virgil Ierubino 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hi, Is it possible to access Wikipedia by a mobile phone? (That is, without it looking awful, squashing up, having a huge download size, etc). Is there a WAP or reduced version a phone can access? If not, why not? Virgil

Unicode support
by Aaron Gray 20 Dec '07

How do I get MediaWiki to support Unicode ? {{Unicode|xxxx}} WikiPedia does not seem to support it, but has a Uncode "helper" on its insert box on the edit page. Many thanks in advance, Aaron

Collaborative Translation support in MediaWiki
by Desilets, Alain 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Hi all, This is my first post on this mailing list. Dirk Riehle sent me a copy of a recent email on this list (see below), which was talking about adding support for collaborative translation in MediaWiki. I am very interested in this topic and have written a paper about it at WikiSym 2006: Translation the Wiki Way * http://iit-iti.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/publications/nrc-48736_e.html I have also implemented a simple proof of concept prototype of collaborative translation in a wiki environment. You can see a video demo of it here: http://lizzy.iit.nrc.ca/LizzyHelp/uploads/demo_of_multilingual_LizzyWiki_fe… Some of us have also started a project to add this sort of translation support in popular wiki engines, starting with TikiWiki: Cross Lingual Wiki Engine Project * http://www.wiki-translation.com/tiki-index.php?page=Cross+Lingual+Wiki+Engi… We would LOVE to have people from the MediaWiki community involved! Note that this project is hosted on a new wiki community called wiki-translation, which I and some collegues started in November to share ideas and information about translation in the new frontier of massive online collaboration: Wiki-translation community * http://www.wiki-translation.com/tiki-index.php I am also thinking about putting together a workshop on wiki-translation at the WikiSym 2008 which will take place in Porto, Portugal, Sept 8-10, 2008. Again, participation from people in the MediaWiki or WikiMedia community would be great! I am looking forward with interacting with people on this list who are interested in this topic.
