Re: [Mediawiki-l] templates
by Fred Bauder 03 Apr '07

They may be copied from Wikipedia, together with the template/doc provided Wikipedia is credited with under the GNU Free Documentation License. The <noinclude> section is the best place to put that credit. When you edit a Wikipedia page which uses a template, at the bottom you will see the templates listed. Click on them and you will go to their page. If the template is transcluded from a /doc you will need to import the /doc too. This is not easy and requires a great deal of sophistication. I have been trying with limited success for several weeks to duplicate Wikipedia templates. There is at least one extension you will need to install: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions Perhaps more. As I say, at this point I fail, see http://www.internet-encyclopedia.org/index.php/Uzbekistan I would appreciate a bit of help on this, also.

MediaWiki default edit toolbar short of stuff...
by Dhruba Bandopadhyay 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

I have been using MediaWiki for a long time and noticed that the default edit toolbar is short of functionality... compared to wikimedia.org's toolbar. How does one get the same toolbar as wikimedia.org's toolbar? Is it an additional plug-in / installation? Or is there a setting in the config/settings file?

PHP warnings in page headers and update.php after updating from 1.8.2 to 1.9.3
by Thomas Boehne 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

I updated our Intranet wiki from 1.8.2 to 1.9.3 using the shell based update.php script. It ran through all the way but printed some warnings: [...] Checking if pagelinks index pl_namespace includes field pl_from... ...index pl_namespace on table pagelinks has no field pl_from; adding Deleting old default messages..."" is not a valid magic thingie for "special" Warning: array_slice(): The first argument should be an array in /var/www/mediawiki-1.9.3/languages/Language.php on line 1105 "" is not a valid magic thingie for "defaultsort" Warning: array_slice(): The first argument should be an array in /var/www/mediawiki-1.9.3/languages/Language.php on line 1105 Done Purging caches...done. Done. linuxsrv1:/var/www/mediawiki-1.9.3/maintenance# cd .. The Wiki does now run with version 1.9.3, but on every page I get 3 warnings in the header: Warning: array_slice() [function.array-slice]: The first argument should be an array in /var/www/mediawiki-1.9.3/languages/Language.php on line 1105 Warning: array_slice() [function.array-slice]: The first argument should be an array in /var/www/mediawiki-1.9.3/languages/Language.php on line 1105 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/mediawiki-1.9.3/includes/SpecialPage.php on line 199 As a temporary workaround, I set error_reporting(0) around those lines, but that's obviously not a proper solution. There seem to be other users with the same problem, but I did not find a solution anywhere on the net. Why do these messages occur and how do I fix this? This error can also be observed on http://www.apple2games.com/wiki/Main_Page I reported the error on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk#PHP_warnings_in_page_hea… but did not have any responses so far. Any ideas?

Rebuildall.php and Templates in 1.9.2
by admin＠pubswiki.co.uk 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

I have imported an XML dump, which uses a number of templates (mainly stubs) then used php rebuildall.php to apply the changes. All the new data is displayed but the templates don't appear until you edit and save the page. I have used the same script on 1.6.9 and it all worked fine - any ideas? Thanks

background color change
by aretai aretai 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Hi, I tried to find sth on how to change the background for some of the pages in my wiki (talk, discussion, etc) and also special pages, but I couldn't. I tried to do some css stuff, but only achieved changing the background of the wiki itself. Maybe anyone knows how to do it? I'm not interested in changing part of a wikipage (by for example placing a table), but the entire wikipage. Or just point me where it is discussed. Regards, Aretai

templates
by Umidjon Rahmonberdiev 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Dear all, Is it possible to get some templates? If yes, where I can find them? I've especially interested in getting templates from http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzbekistan - where country flags and additional info is on the right of the screen. How do I get it? Or every wiki developer creates it's own? Best regards, Umidjon B. Rahmonberdiev NINP, Web Manager, CACAARI P.O.

Mediawiki Moved Permanently URL Problem
by Jonathan J. Reinhart 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Hello, I installed Mediawiki for a friend and a weird problem has happened with his URL. He has mydedham.org and the wiki is mydedham.org/wiki (or wiki.mydedham.org). However, when you go to that URL it actually takes you to mydedham.org/~mydedham/wiki. I had the people who handle my server look into this and they said a redirect exists at mydedham.org/wiki. They said it is a script issue. Below is what happens in the script. Does anyone know how to fix this so that mydedham.org/wiki does not go to mydedham.org/~mydedham/wiki? GET http://mydedham.org/wiki --> 301 Moved Permanently GET http://mydedham.org/wiki/ --> 301 Moved Permanently GET http://mydedham.org/~mydedham/wiki/index.php/Main_Page<http://mydedham.org/%7Emydedham/wiki/index.php/Main_Page>--> 200 OK Thanks, Jonathan -- Thanks, Jonathan J.

inter-language linking in single project
by Umidjon Rahmonberdiev 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Dear all, Is it a good practice for using one mediawiki project for different languages? I've installed a one project, created two pages: one in Russian, another in English for example in one project. Like: http://mysite.com/w/Uzbekistan (en) and http://mysite.com/w/ <http://mysite.com/w/Узбекистан> Узбекистан (ru) = is that a good practice or should I install two projects for each language like ru.mysite.com and en.mysite.com? What do you advice? Best regards, Umidjon B. Rahmonberdiev NINP, Web Manager, CACAARI P.O.
