How to find pages with no internal links
by Caitlin Dempsey 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Anybody know if it's possible to see a list of pages that contain no internal links. I looked through the special pages and couldn't see anything that would provide that.

discrepancy between article count on "Special:Allpages" and "Special:Statistics"
by Dr. Johannes Zellner 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hello, there seems to be a rather big difference between the article count on the Special:Allpages and Special:Statistics pages. I observed something like more than 50 pages on Special:Allpages but Special:Statistics states only an article count of 29 pages. As the articles shown on Special:Allpages are actually there, I think the count given on Special:Statistics seems to be (terribly) wrong. Is there a way to let Special:Statistics show the correct article count? -- Dr. Johannes Zellner <johannes(a)zellner.org> Karl-Krauß-Weg 4, 73430 Aalen Tel.: 07361 37 05 45 (Fax: 46), Handy: 0177 690 87 85

extract statistics from mysql database directly
by Dr. Johannes Zellner 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hi, I'd like to monitor the changes in a wiki automatically by a (shell/mysql) script which is run periodically for example. Is there an easy way to get statistics like number of articles number of registered users number of read accesses on article pages number of edits directly from the mysql database? -- Dr. Johannes Zellner <johannes(a)zellner.org> Karl-Krauß-Weg 4, 73430 Aalen Tel.: 07361 37 05 45 (Fax: 46), Handy: 0177 690 87 85

Unwanted centered text after adding templates
by Sandy Rozhon 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

After adding the four required familytree templates as described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Familytree I now have some odd behavior on my WHOLE Wiki in that EVERY page is centered. I don't understand how that can happen as I didn't change the CSS file in any way. How can I fix this problem? My understanding of templates is that they are only in effect when included on a particular page. Somehow these templates have altered the functioning of all pages. Sandy

Local Documentation
by Dave Sigafoos 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

We have just downloaded and installed the Wiki. I have to say you guys have done a brilliant job. Not only in the SW but in the installation process. Quite often that is where sw falls down. I am sure that I read somewhere there is a way to have the documentation all localized. I have searched but can not find the info now. Could someone please point me to the right location. Thanks so much DSig David Tod Sigafoos | SANMAR Corporation PICK Guy 206-770-5585 davesigafoos(a)sanmar.com

Info Boxes
by admin＠pubswiki.co.uk 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hi, I'm trying to implement some info boxes on my wiki, however i'm experienceing a number of problems when trying to use IF statements. Basically i only want a field to be displayed if there is a value for it. If i use the following code: |- style="vertical-align: top;" |'''Postcode'''||{{{postcode}}} and don't enter a value for postcode then the Postcode still displays, however if I use this code: |- style="vertical-align: top;" |'''Postcode'''|{{{postcode}}} then only the values are posted without the Postcode description. I have looked at documentation/examples of using IF's on mediawiki, however I just get a number of errors when using {{#if: does anyone have any ideas? Or easy fixes? Am i missing an important template? Cheers Tom

Does anyone know if the wikidb pages table's "pageid" value is available as a global php variable throughout the page rendering process. If so, I could use it in the stylesheet. right!? anyone? Gunter asked me: > Why don't you use an ID-Number that you use as article name, > which then redirects to the correct product? > There you have your link, too. > That idea did occur to me, but that solution puts too much responsibility on the part of the authors to care about the database side of the system. The system must take care of itself in terms of a unique identifier. I'm looking to exploit the wikidb databases primary key to provide the users with "new" and unique IDs to ensure that a 1:1 correspondance will exists with the page and a referenced item in the real world. And special thanks to Rob for pointing out the following: >> >> Also, how can I create a link in an external document >> (like an email or a PDF) that points directly to a wiki >> page referenced explicitly by the pageid with no >> knowledge of the page's title? >> > >http://host/path/to/index.php?title=-&curid=<page id> > Bingo! thanks! I been reading this list long enough, Rob, to know that your one of the heavy hitters. Can you provide some insight into the question above?

Google Mini search appliance & MediaWiki
by Daniel Barrett 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

What's the right way to disable "nofollow" in MediaWiki? Grep for "setRobotpolicy( 'noindex,nofollow' )" in all the /include files and change them one by one? Problem: Our intranet spider, a Google Mini search appliance, randomly sees "nofollow" directives for pages in MediaWiki 1.9.3 and reports: Excluded: On page with robots nofollow meta tag. In repeated spiderings, the same page might get excluded or not, seemingly randomly. Out of 10 spiderings of a particular page, say, 6 of them will fail with this error. Maybe the same link appears with and without "nofollow" on different wiki pages (say, articles vs. category pages), and whichever one the spider hits, it obeys? Thanks, DanB

Extensions used by Wikipedia
by Fred Bauder 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Which extensions does the current Wikipedia setup use, if any? My impression is that Mediawiki as installed lacks some functionality necessary to allow some templates with nested code to function. Fred

how to put a template on each MW page?
by aretai aretai 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hi, How can I put a template (or any other text) on each MW page? I know there is a Mediawiki:Sitenotice that renders the text on each page. However I'm using http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MenuTabs in the template and it's rendered inproperly in some cases. That's why I'd like to replace it with a template put on each wikipage. thx Aretai
