Hi,
I suppose the original question was not based on such a situation. He
(Gadget Doctor) hasn't mentioned about multiple wiki projects in his
installation. So, simple answer was he can do away with the table
prefix. Even if he wants to add more projects later, he can add prefixes
to the new tables.
Another point- you mentioned that "Mediawiki has 136 separate tables
per-install". But in my MW 1.11, I can see only around 50 tables. Am I
missing something?
Regards,
Jack

Not quite. Mediawiki has 136 separate tables per-install. If you wanted
to use a single-database solution (which certain types of MW install are
easier to manage in this fashion), your only option is to use table
prefixes.
In my particular case [ http://projects.plkr.org/encycloplucker/ ], I
have 9 langauges against 6 wiki projects (books, news, quote, source,
etc.) in one database for ease of management (rapid import/export
operations).
This brings the total number of tables to a whopping 7,344 if I import
them all at once (54 wikis * 136 tables in each).
Without using 54 separate databases (functionally not possible in this
case, because I'm using just one instance of the Mediawiki source to
host all of these wikis), how do you propose a solution that does not
involve table prefixes?

I would like to configure re-captcha in the following way (good or
bad), and would like to know if it is possible;
A) Non-registered users can edit any page, but always get a captcha
B) Registration requires a captcha
C) Registered users never see a captcha
This seems to be the best balance of non-invasive vs. strict policy
that I can think of (assuming that human created spammer accounts are
rare and easy to kill).
Currently I have it set so that no user can edit unless logged in
(requires a captcha to create an account) and even when logged in,
adding links to a page triggers the captcha. I think this is too
restrictive / too invasive.
Any hint on how to set it up like the above?
Cheers,
Dan.
P.S. See MetaBase at http://BioDatabase.Org !!! (or not, its up to you really).
Hi Lori,
Checkout for owner permission and the mode. make the image folder
writable or not and try to make image folder writable using "chmod
a+w webfolder/wiki/image" from the linux shell.

I'm using SemanticMediaWiki (SMW) [1] in a spanish wiki.
I'm trying to import [2] FOAF vocabulary but it works wrong.
It's ok for categories but doesn't works with properties ("atributos").
Any idea for a solution?
Estoy usando SemanticMediaWiki en un wiki en castellano. Intento
importar el vocabulario de FOAF pero no funciona. Funciona bien para
categorías pero no para propiedades/atributos.
En una instalación igual pero con el inglés como idioma por defecto sí
funciona correctamente.
¿Alguien se ha encontrado con el mismo problema? ¿Alguna solución?
¿Un diagnóstico al menos? ¿alguna pista?

earlier on my older wiki (1.7) but not one if the tips on the net

When I try to upload a gif file using my v1.11.0 MediaWiki, I get the
following
error message:
"The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver.
Retrieved from "http://wiki-ms-0-1/f15mp/index.php?title=Special:Upload"
<http://wiki-ms-0-1/f15mp/index.php?title=Special:Upload> "
However, I don't have any directory named "public" in my structure,
actually is it
the default struction, and I am trying to upload to the "images"
directory.
Pls let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanx !

Hello,
I am having a problem. The wiki for my company (http://wiki.lormfg.com)
has stopped working. When you land on a page all you see is the title
nothing else. However, when you click the edit tab you can see what the
page is supposed to display all formatted and ready to go. Has anyone
got any ideas???
Cheers

I did some manual changes to the DB "text" table, by writing the correct
characters directly in the table. Doing this the page renders correctly
on loading, thus I assume it must be a saving error (MediaWiki writing
incorrectly to the DB).

Hi,
I'm about to find some local wiki and I'd prefer to have it dual-licensed, to
be specific cc-by-sa and fdl. These licenses have similar impact, but exclude
each other. (the reason basically to allow more usage, especially
content-combination with wikipedia and with other projects using cc-by-sa)
Now, it seems mediawiki isn't capable of providing such an option (for the
wiki default license). What would be a good way to do this? I could choose
one license by the options and another one I could add directly into the
template, but that would be more a hacky workaround than a solution.
