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>.

I have a problem where an import script has a page name containing a right arrow represented as -> this converts to a ->, which breaks the import. I can replace this, but what should I use?

Search Function not working
by Poplar, James 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hello All, I am supporting a MediaWiki installation with the following stats: MediaWiki (http://wikipedia.sf.net/): 1.4.12 PHP (http://www.php.net/): 5.1.2 (apache2handler) MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/): 5.0.18 Everything seems to be working except the search function. No matter what it returns 0 results, even when I search with terms found in the wikidb/searchindex table. I realize the first thing everyone would say is "Upgrade that puppy", but upgrading isn't going to be feasible in the near future. The only errors I can see anywhere are in the apache log,: PHP Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference in /vol0/www/localhost/htdocs/mediawiki/includes/SkinTemplate.php The error also comes up when searching. I may be barking up the wrong tree here in thinking this is a symptom of the issue. I've repaired the searchindex table just in case, and still can't search. I apologize if this is a commonly known issue, but I can't find anything in google to help me troubleshoot it. Search is a rather important feature of our wiki. What do you think could be the problem?

link problems after upgrade
by Leon Kolchinsky 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hello All, After wiki upgrade I witness very strange phenomenon. Please look at this page: http://wikiedtech.edu.haifa.ac.il/ Now search for HiLearn. This word was a link. Now it seems like a link but the actual link are words near it (go with your mouse to the right from HiLearn and you'll see). It seems that the problem is on main page only with various links. Any help? Best Regards, Leon
