Hi,
I'm using the very short url method (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/
Using_a_very_short_URL) and, overall, it seems to work. However, any
article that uses an ampersand doesn't work. E.g., for an article
like "First & Last Tavern", MediaWiki interprets it as "First ". The
link shows up as:
http://. . ./First_%26_Last_Tavern
With Wikipedia, it interprets ampersands correctly, and it doesn't
change to %26 in the url. I tested another wiki, which I think uses
the same method and it also has the problem of the truncating
ampersand, but it doesn't convert the & to %26. Hrm. How can I fix
this problem?
Thanks!

Hi,
I just upgraded from 1.5 to 1.9.2, and I can't remove the words "Main
Page" from the home page as I could in the last version. Previously, on
this mailing list, the following instructions were given to remove that
title:
In monobook.php change :
<h1 class="firstHeading"><?php $this->text('title') ?></h1>
into
<?php if($this->haveData('title') != wfMsgForContent('mainpage')){ ?>
<h1 class="firstHeading"><?php $this->text('title') ?></h1>
<?php } ?>
In 1.9.2, the MonoBook.php file looks a bit different, and I'm hoping
someone can help make a similar hack for this newest version. Again,
I'd only like to remove the page title for the Main Page, but no
others. The code in MonoBook.php is listed below:
<h1 class="firstHeading"><?php
$this->data['displaytitle']!=""?$this->html('title'):$this->text('title')
?></h1>
Thanks for any help!

Hello,
I make some select from wikimedia categorylinks table on a local DB.
"SELECT cl_from FROM categorylinks WHERE cl_to = $catname;"
For categories with accents in the name, i cannot get any results.
I've tried to encode the $catName in latin1, utf-8 and even tryed to URL
encode both versions.
No luck...
The MySQL instance is configured with default values for the encoding.
Am i missing something here?
Would someone have a hint?
thanks,
Kim

Our manuals for customers/clients are in Word and specially laid out (every odd page has a wide left margin, small right margin.. and vice versa for the odd pages. the styles/fonts, title page). Word2MediaWikiPlus only converts the basics (section headings, tables, lists, images, colours). It's very hard to replicate the Word page-design layout in Wiki.
The reason why for the wiki is that documentation/manuals always get repeatly updated, by multiple people. Plus the Word files were decentralised, Wiki is centralised.

I have a strange problem that I hope someone can provide some pointers for.
I installed media wiki on RHEL4 up to the point that the web-based
configuration needs to be run. A few weeks later (after leaving it
alone) the same page gives "403 Forbidden". When I copy the entire
media wiki folder to a new name it works in the new location. I swapped
the directories back and forth and you can see below and the broken one
isn't tied to the URL but to the actual files.
To sum up the troubleshooting I did:
#starting off in /var/www/html
701 wget http://localhost/vmtwiki/ #403 Forbidden
702 cp -r vmtwiki/ vmtwiki2
703 wget http://localhost/vmtwiki2/ #index.html.8 downloaded fine
704 mv vmtwiki vmtwiki.bad #show its not an URL problem
705 mv vmtwiki2/ vmtwiki
706 wget http://localhost/vmtwiki/ #index.html.9 downloaded fine
707 wget http://localhost/vmtwiki.bad/ #403 Forbidden
#exact session copied below
I tried bouncing apache at various points but can't seem to shake the
"403 Forbidden" error on the original directory.
I also found some other posts on the list without resolution:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/htdig/mediawiki-l/2006-November/016027.h…
Versions are:
Red Hat EL4 Update 4
php 5.1.4
mediawiki 1.9.3
Thanks for any tips or suggestions,
-Amir

Hello,
after upgrading from 1.4rc1 to 1.6.8 I get the following message when I
try to edit pages:
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 still can edit the pages w/o any trouble but the above message is
somewhat annoying. What's the problem here? -- how can I get rid of the
message? (I can't upgrade to something above 1.6.10 as I can't upgrade
mysql and php on the server).
Best regards,
--
Johannes

I've tried moving the default uploads directory outside the installation dir, into a directory (owned by group "nobody") not served by apache, but that didn't work. I was hoping that Mediawiki would access the files directly from the file system instead of via a hyperlink to the file on the server.

I think the "single writer, multiple readers" argument applies here,
better known as, "The man with one clock always knows what time it
is; the man with two is never quite sure..."
I would strongly advise against maintaining writable copies of a
document in both Word and MediaWiki.
You can produce PDFs from the wiki that are A4. I suppose you could
even embed those PDFs in a Word document, if this is to fulfill the
spirit of some organizational mandate.

Many of you have heard about Word2MediaWikiPlus macro that easily converts Word documents + images into wiki & auto-uploads all the images. This is all great. However most of the time we keep the Word documents because of the A4-page-layout designs... used for printing customer/client manuals, etc. So am wondering, how does people keep Word & Wiki files in-synchronized? If changes are made to the wiki version by 3rd-party people, how does the owner of the original Word document sync up with the wiki changes? Especially when there are dozens or hundreds of these documents?
If it doesn't exist, I might write a Word2Wiki2WordSync....
