Hi,
I'm having an odd problem that I haven't been able to solve with google and forum searching. Sometimes when viewing my wiki with unix firefox (I've tried with various versions--1.5, 2.16, and 3.0) the page is unformatted; it looks like the css isn't being applied. I'm using monobook, but the problem happens under different themes as well. I've never seen this problem on windows firefox or IE. Clearing firefox's cache and reloading fixes the problem. Has anyone heard of this happening? I'm using mediawiki 1.13.2, php 5.2.4, mysql 5.0.45, apache 2.2.6.
Thanks,
Peter
Greetings,
I have a template that includes a category on the featured page that calls
that template but not on the template <noinclude> works great.
Now the featured page that calls the template, is called into the Main Page.
Now the Mina Page shows the category from the template.
I would like to be able to suppress the inclusion of the that category from
the Main Page.
Is there a way to do that while keeping it on the
--
Blessed Be

Does anybody know of a MW extension that removes the rel="nofollow"
attribute from external links after a set number of days? I want to
encourage RichmondWiki.org users to contribute content and don't feel that
it should be a "walled garden" to hog all of the PageRank. At the same time,
I don't want to completely remove the nofollow from new links to discourage
spamming and gratuitous links.
Thanks!

I am using <code>headingmode</code> with <code>ordermethod=category,title</code> to generate a categorized list of articles:
<dpl>
category=Database programming cookbook recipes
ordermethod=category,title
headingmode=H3
columns=3
</dpl>
But I want to omit some category sections (like "Database programming cookbook recipes", or utility categories like "Pages with custom CSS") from appearing in my list. I.e. I want to select ''all'' "Database programming cookbook recipes" articles, but I want to show only ''some'' of the category headings, and hide others. Any thoughts on how to do this?
Here is an alternative for the default math using dvipng:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows
I've tried it out in my Windows box and it worked.
Unfortunately, I haven't managed to get it to work on
Linux (both TeX and dvipng work in the server when
called in the terminal). Any hint or pointer would be
appreciated.
(fyi, what I intend is to use TeX as a typographical
tool and not only for math formulae, and the dvipng
approach seems more convenient for our purposes.)

Is there an easy way to list all articles that contain a given parser tag, such as <cite> or <foobar>? I took a look for extensions like this (e.g., a special page that lists the articles) but didn't find anything.
If there's no existing extension, what would be the appropriate method to do this in code?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am using a tool called ePublisher, which converts Framemaker files to
MediaWiki output and deploys the files to the wiki. Our IT department set
up an instance of Mediawiki for me to test. I can login to the Media wiki
instance, but when I test the deployment configuration in ePublisher
(using the same username and password as I can login with), I get the
error "Connection or Authentication Failed".
I have set $wgEnableWriteAPI = true; in LocalSettings.php.
Are there other configuration settings I need to set to deploy files to
Media Wiki?
I have successfully used this tool before to deploy output to a MoinMoin
wiki (once I got the configuration set correctly) so I know it works.
Thanks for your help.
Linda
