Hi, all
I am a new user of mediawiki, my wiki is a private wiki, only
authentic user is allowed. My question is how to set the homepage
directly to login window.
Thanks.
Would the parser changes in 1.12.0 have the following effect?
The Simple Forms extension
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Simple_Forms used to render
wikitext within a form, e.g.:
{{#form:
[[Hello there]]!
....
}}
but now instead of rendering a "Hello there" link, it displays the
literal text [[Hello there]]. Likewise, if the results of a form
submission contain wikitext or custom tags, they are being displayed
literally instead of parsed.
Is this something to take up with the extension author (i.e., he missed
something), or is this going to be an inherent problem due to the parser
changes?
Thanks,
DanB
According to
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgArticleRobotPolicies, one can
set robot policies for individual pages with $wgArticleRobotPolicies.
However, it doesn't work for me, i.e., when I add:
$wgArticleRobotPolicies = array( 'Special:Categories' => 'index,follow' );
I still get noindex,nofollow on that page.
It is the same for other, non-special pages - setting anything with
$wgArticleRobotPolicies for any page doesn't seem to have any effect.
Am I missing anything? I use 1.12.0.

Hi Wiki-Guru's,
We would like to let users anonymously add content to our wiki. We
already hided the Users List but we need to prevent registered users
to see the History-Tab.
Any hints?

A long time ago I asked if anyone would like an extension that would
help users add links (with correct spelling and capitalization)...
Well I finally made one. It is crude, and it needs work, but it is as
far as I can go with what i know.

You can test it out here:
http://risdpedia.net/index.php?title=Sandbox&action=edit
Clicking on the "+ link" button will reveal a search box. Just type in
there and it will give a floating list of articles containing what you
searched for. Then selecting one will add it to the article with
proper syntax.
I would love help to make this extension better. I do know of some
problems.
The added button in IE7 gets added to the beginning not h end of the
buttons. (anyone know how to fix this?)
IE wil lose track of your position when you select a link, so it will
always place it at the beginning.
Safari and FF do not have either of these issues.
Always working to make mediawiki easier for the non tech users,

Is the "Real Name" preference used anywhere in MediaWiki, or is it
obsolete? I see a few references to it in the source code, but cannot
manage to make it appear in any signatures, history, recent changes,
etc.
This question has been asked before (in 10/2007,
http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/htdig/mediawiki-l/2007-September/0232
92.html) but there was no response.
Thanks,

Hello.
You can overload constructor of your Special page (more on <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Special_pages#Constructor>). So you can use this:
SpecialPage::SpecialPage('YourSpecialPageName', 'sysop');
in the constructor of your special page class.

Some users are reporting database errors for one of my extensions,
UserRightsList.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:JimHu#Database_Error
The error reported is
1146: Table 'mw_.user' doesn't exist (localhost)
or
1142: SELECT command denied to user 'cdy'@'srv83.one.com' for table
'user'
depending on how MySQL privileges are set. The extension works for me
in 1.11. 1, and I'm not sure exactly where the problem is for the
users. I suspect it's because I'm misusing $wgDBprefix, and the
extension is looking for a db that doesn't exist. But since I don't
use it in my wikis, it's hard to test on my local installs. I'm
guessing the problem is somewhere in the method below (which should
probably be rewritten anyway to use more MW style db access code).
function findMyUsers(){
global $wgUser, $wgDBprefix;
$dbr =& wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
if(in_array('userrights',$wgUser->getRights())){
$sql = "SELECT u.user_id, u.user_name, u.user_registration FROM
$wgDBprefix.user u WHERE 1";
}else{
$sql = "SELECT u.user_id, u.user_name, u.user_registration FROM
$wgDBprefix.logging l, $wgDBprefix.user u WHERE
l.log_title = u.user_name AND
log_type = 'newusers' AND
log_user = '".$wgUser->getID()."'
";
}
if (isset($this->group) && $this->group !=''){
$sql = str_replace("FROM","FROM $wgDBprefix.user_groups, ", $sql);
$sql .= " AND ug_user = u.user_id AND ug_group = '".$this->group."'
";
}
if (isset($this->username) && !is_null($this->username) && $this-
>username != ''){
$sql .= " AND u.user_name LIKE'".mysql_real_escape_string($this-
>username)."' ";
}
if (isset($this->yearfrom) && !is_null($this->yearfrom) && $this-
>yearfrom != ''){
$month = '00';
if (!is_null($this->monthfrom ) ) $month = $this->monthfrom;
$fromdate = str_pad($this->yearfrom.$month, 14, '0', STR_PAD_RIGHT);
$sql .= " AND STRCMP(u.user_registration,'$fromdate') = 1 ";
}
if (isset($this->yearto) && !is_null($this->yearto) && $this-
>yearto != ''){
$year = $this->yearto;
$month = '99';
if (!is_null($this->monthto ) ) $month = $this->monthto;
$todate = str_pad($year.$month, 14, '9', STR_PAD_RIGHT);
$sql .= " AND STRCMP(u.user_registration,'$todate') = -1 ";
}
$sql .= " ORDER BY u.user_name";
$sql = $dbr->limitResult($sql, $this->limit, $this->offset);
#echo $sql;
$results = $dbr->query($sql);
$this->num = $dbr->numRows($results);
if (!$results) return array();
while( $x = $dbr->fetchObject ( $results ) ) {
$arr[] = get_object_vars($x);
}
return $arr;
}

"Tables
Currently wiki pipe table syntax doesn't work inside conditionals, but there
are some workarounds," [workarounds listed there aren't particularly useful].
No idea how Wikia gets it to work, but there are two workarounds I can
recommend (used extensively on a genealogy site where both workarounds
are used (http://www.middleton-stjohns.com) after much trial and error:
1) Use css instead of tables
(well, this isn't a workaround - it's the "right" way :-)
2) Use Extension:Winter (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Winter)
Winter conditionals look like this:
{{#if||expr||true path||false path|}}
and it handles the pipe table syntax very well.
There is a third workaround (use HTML table syntax) but that isn't a
great solution...
