List authorized users in the Mediawiki panel

Hello, I'm running Mediawiki 1.9 with the SSO plugin. Default user can't edit pages, only the one in the group "WikiEditor" can do it. Is there a way to list all users who are the "WikiEditor" as group (except a SELECT in the database ? :-P) Thanks by advance, Johan "Les informations contenues dans ce message electronique peuvent etre de nature confidentielles et soumises a une obligation de secret.

$wgLocaltimezone
by Oliver Schalch 05 Apr '07

Hi, Using newest Version of Mediawiki, and the time is 2 hours to early - so I tried to set in LocalSettings.php: $wgLocaltimezone = "Europe/Zurich"; and I tried also set this to "CET"; Both settings crashing my apache webserver :-\ Any ideas?

$wgNamespaceProtection
by Frederich, Eric P21322 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

I finally got a test environment set up so I can try out different methods for access control. The first one I wanted to try was suggested by Platonides. I took a look at the diffs at http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=19110 and applied them manually to included/Title.php and includes/DefaultSettings.php. This is as far as I got. I guess since it isn't included in the default download of MediaWiki there isn't much talk about using it out there. Could someone explain to me how I would use this to restrict editing of pages in "namespace x" to users in "group y"? Thanks, ~Eric Relevant quotes from a previous thread "access controls in 1.9.3" below Platonides wrote: >Frederik Dohr wrote: >>> If you only want to restrict by namespace, it's much easier.

MediaWiki Enhancement for Discussion Threading
by Jack D. Pond 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

Many of my developers and project managers like threading for discussions. In order to get greater adoption, I've developed an extension/patch that makes the discussion page look like the archives of a listserv. Don't know if this is even worth consideration, but in the spirit of openness thought I would throw it out. If there's time and interest, I'll clean it up and make it generally available - right now it's very experimental - although we're using it here in production. I've posted this highly experimental patch/extension at http://www.mediawiki.org/Wiki/Extension:DiscussionThreading <http://www.mediawiki.org/Wiki/Extension:DiscussionThreading> This extension implements a discussion threading process. This threading will only be seen on the talk pages, unless explicitly invoked in the command line. It adds a [reply] link on the header line. Each time a new posting is entered or a posting is replied to, the comment will automatically be tagged (and appear in the TOC too). Of course direct editing can occur, but this really makes it a lot easier to organize discussions in a threading view that most are familiar with. To do (if there's enough interest): 1. Internationalize 2. get someone who knows regex to clean up the parsing of the subject line 3. Assess to see if there's an easier way to do this - I've probably screwed it up royally.

The problem is in your main.css I have tried it and it broke my install in the same way. As well as moving the elements around. I now have the page title over the action tabs, so i guess it might have to do with the z-order and positioning. Try using an original main.css It will probably fix. Then you can readd the changes little by little until you find where the problem is.

FYI: MediaWiki extensions developed by Brockhaus
by Mathias Schindler 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Hi, some of you might already know it from IRC or the news. The Bibliographisches Institut & F.A. Brockhaus AG, publishing some of the best-known general purpose encyclopedias in the German language has started a web site last year that contains the full text of the "Meyers Taschenlexikon", a paperback small-to-medium size reference work mostly aimed at students. lexikon.meyers.de is the url. In the first weeks of its existence, they "forgot" to mention that this site is running MediaWiki (stripped of any Wiki functions). In fall 2006, I met the CEO of the electronic/online department of Brockhaus during the book fair in Frankfurt on a discussion panel. He promised to release all the modifications they did to MediaWiki under the GPL. A few weeks ago, they set up an SVN server where they had published those modifications http://lexikon.meyers.de/meyers/Meyers-SVN The description says GPL 2.0. (didn't I mention this earlier on somewhere else? Sorry, if this is a dupe) Mathias
