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.

They lack them, not only for being a read-only medium but by how they're
designed.

Yes, it is.

I have heard of Mediawikis running on XAMPP USBs.

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!

>>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

Are you wanting this for a temporary host, or for an offline copy of a
wiki? 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.

Thanks to all who helped me :)
The solution from Diogo B. Tridapalli is what I wanted:
At LocalSettings.php:
$wgRightsUrl = "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/il/";
$wgRightsText = "Creative Commons License";
$wgRightsIcon = "http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/2.5/il/88x31.png%22";

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

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>.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about this mailing.
