restricting page creation
by Frank Fulchiero 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

I discovered that even though I have the following in LocalSettings.php $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage'] = true; anonymous users are still able to create new pages just by typing in their browser, so http://mediawikiIP/wikiname/index.php/Garbage creates a new page called Garbage. I followed directions below for restricting page creation, but they don't seem to work http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_page_creation How can I block creation of new pages? This is in MediaWiki 1.5.4, PHP 4.4.7, MySQL 5.0.18, MacOSX Server 10.4.11 Even worse, the new pages don't show up in any of the Special Pages, such as All Pages, Recent Changes, etc. Is there any way of finding them, and deleting any? Appreciate any help, thanks.... Frank Fulchiero Digital Media Specialist Connecticut College

Because I want logged-in users to be able to create pages. If I set them to false, they would not be able to. I thought 'user' applied to logged-in users. Or am I missing something here?

It should just say "No page > exists with this title", or words to that effect. That isn't a page, > it's just an error message, that's why it doesn't show up on All > Pages. But that's not what happens in our wikis, here is a real example....it looks like a real created page, no error message http://nutmeg.conncoll.edu/wiki/index.php/Garbage Are you saying this page does not actually exist? It seems to. Frank Fulchiero Digital Media Specialist Connecticut College

When you have XAMPP running, just do a normal mediawiki install. If mysql is running on the USB, then the articles will be at the usb. Image uploads are stored relative to the mediawiki folder, so they'll also be.

I just want to install MediaWiki on an USB key as a local host. To look at a CD is also a good idea, if there is no other tailor made install but they may lack all the editing tools. Thank you! jfc

Re: [Mediawiki-l] upgrade successful or not? were schema changes made?
by Eric Frost 08 Feb '08

>>Navigate to Special:Version on the wiki and see what it says. It sounds like you have not yet upgraded though.<< Actually, they do both say MediaWiki 1.11.1 e.g. http://www.mapelves.com/index.php/Special:Version Is it still possible the database schema was not updated? What is an example of a database change from 1.10 to 1.11.1 that I could verify in MySQL? Nothing really seems to be broken.. is there a database log I could check to see if there have been SQL errors? Thanks, Eric http://www.elfcorp.com http://www.elfmapping.com

There are CDs of Wikipedia content, and I would imagine the software they use is free, you could look up that and see if it can be made to fit your purpose.

Currently active users

Hi all, is there a way to find out, if there are any users currently logged in to a wiki? I'd like to check this, before closing down the wiki for maintenance/updates, so I don't involutarily kill the work of a user before he or she has time to save it... I'm using mediawiki version 1.10.0 Mit freundlichen Grüßen Katharina Wolkwitz Fachhochschule Südwestfalen Hochschulbibliothek Haldener Straße 182 58095 Hagen Tel.: 02331/987-2706
