Welcome to mediawiki-l. This mailing list exists for discussion and questions about the MediaWiki software[0]. Important MediaWiki-related announcements (such as new versions) are also posted to this list. Other resources. If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to mediawiki-announce[1] instead. MediaWiki development discussion, and all Wikimedia technical questions, should be directed to the wikitech-l[2] mailing list. Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist: - mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions, - mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise, - mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subversion repository, - mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support, - wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker. List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives). To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [12]. Archives of previous postings can be found at [3]. This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to read and post to the list. Posting to the list. Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if your question has been asked before. Please try to ask your question in a way that enables people to answer you. Provide all relevant details, explain your problem clearly, etc. You may wish to read [13], which explains how to ask questions well. To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you send. When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting style[11], for clarity. When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post. Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list, which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the list in general, you should change the reply to only go to that person. This avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic. About this message. This message is posted to the list once per week by <river(a)wikimedia.org>.

by Andre Bonhote 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Hi I might be paranoid AND stupid, but to me, it appears that the files on download.wikimedia.org are wrong. What I did: - downloaded http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.13/mediawiki-1.13.2.tar.gz - checked md5sum and compared it to http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2008-October/000078… - result: e10f791ba9ecd02dd751a5676cc84405 mediawiki-1.13.2.tar.gz - downloaded the .sig file from http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.13/mediawiki-1.13.2.tar.gz.sig - downloaded the keys (https://secure.wikimedia.org/keys.txt) and imported them - ran gpg --verify on the sig file - result: [ apache(a)zrhsrv06.ch.eu.colt ] [ bash ]: gpg --verify mediawiki-1.13.2.tar.gz.sig gpg: Signature made Thu 02 Oct 2008 05:48:30 PM METDST using DSA key ID E8A3FEC4 gpg: BAD signature from "Tim Starling <tstarling(a)wikimedia.org>" What's wrong here? Cheers André

Checking my LocalSettings.php I discovered that the two lines I added $wgDuplicatorRevisionLimit = 500; require_once( "{$IP}/extensions/Duplicator/Duplicator.php" ); had disappeared ! By the way, the documentation says : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Duplicator For MediaWiki 1.11.0 and above, use the trunk version it is not true I got an error with it. For 1.11.0 it is necessary to use Duplicator-MW1.11-r25543.tar.gz and it works fine.

exporting page with images
by Russell, Elizabeth 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Is it possible to export a page that has multiple images and somehow get all the images to drag along with it? I've got user that has built a page with 20+ images, and is a bit nervous about getting all the images correctly moved over to the new wiki. I could tar up the images if she gives me the complete list, but was wondering if there's a better way to do this. Thanks, Beth

importTextFile.php: new version
by Alessandra 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi all, I revised maintenance/importTextFile.php New version works as old version but it has got a new option: --morepages <filename> contents more wiki pages divide by <title>Title for the new page<title> so, if you want insert more pages in one step, then you create one file with all pages divide by <title>Title for the new page<title> and usage command: php importTextFile.php --morepages <options> <filename> How can I insert new version in mediawiki package? Thanks, -- Alessandra Bilardi, Ph.
