$wgDBtransactions gets set to true if using InnoDB tables. Is there
an advantage to using InnoDB tables?
The disadvantage is that with MySQL there is a file, ibdata1, that
seems to grow endlessly if InnoDB tables are used. See
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=1341
We're wondering if we should just convert everything to MyISAM. Any
thoughts?

Hi all,
I've created some custom namespaced on one of my wikis, Botwiki
(previously known as pywikipedia).
I've put these lines in my LocalSettings.php file:
- ---
#Custom namespaces
$wgExtraNamespaces =
array(100 => "Manual",
101 => "Manual talk",
102 => "Python",
103 => "Python talk",
104 => "Php",
105 => "Php talk",
106 => "Perl",
107 => "Perl talk",
108 => "AWB",
109 => "AWB talk",
110 => "IRC",
111 => "IRC talk",
112 => "Other",
113 => "Other talk"
);
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 100;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 102;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 104;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 106;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 108;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 110;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 112;
- ---
However, I have a big problem: when I go to a page in one of these new
namespaces (not the discussion, the main ones), for example
http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Perl:Copyright_Violation_Bot , I found the
red link to the discussion page. It's right, as there is no discussion
page for that article. But if you click on it, it brings you to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a…
correct, of course. But have a look of the article and discussion tabs:
they are both red! The first, "article", leads to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a…
when it should lead to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Perl:Copyright_Violation_Bot and the second,
"discussion", leads to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Talk:Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_…
, when it should lead to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a…
.
It's the first time I deal with custom namespaces :-( but I have some
ideas of what it can be. Can the problem be with the
$wgContentNamespaces settings? So it detects everything as ns0? (don't
think so).
Or can it be the fact that I haven't used an underscore in the
$wgExtraNamespaces definition?

I want to moving all pages in a certain namespace (about 60 pages) into
the the "main" namespace. I couldn't find how to do this, so I tried
exporting the pages and importing them and I ran into all sorts of
problems. Is there a way to do what I want without using the import and
export features (and without having to move each of them manually)?
Thanks.
We host description of our research work in form of Wiki, using
MediaWiki. I would like to start a blog inside of our Wiki, not on one
of publicly available blog hosting services, becuase we want to have
more control over the storage of data and uniform access to them
(through MediaWiki).
Can you suggest me any extension to MediaWiki which allows for having a
blog as one of Wiki pages ? What are your experience with existing
extensions ?
By blog I mean a single Wiki page, where:
* Entries are sorted by date of publication
* Under each entry there is a list of comments or a link to the
separate page with only commented entry and detailed list of
comments made to it
Thank you for your time,
Maciej
Hello everybody,
When I search after some terms, which have not been defined yet, or after editing an entry (but not always???), I get the following error message:
Database error
>From MiWiki
For query "sales"
Jump to: navigation, search
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "". MySQL returned error "1030: Got error 127 from storage engine (localhost)".
Has anybody had this error before? How may I fix it?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and best regards,
Veronica
P.S: I found a similar message at the The Wikitech-l Archives, but in my case no table name was written, so what shall I do????

I can't seem to set the sitename for a mediawiki installation.
I've given a value for $wgSitename in localsettings.php, however, it
doesn't add this value to the <title></title> for wiki pages. Instead
something else comes up.
I grepped through the directories of the installation, but couldn't find
the erroneous title. And I couldn't find it on a search of the mysql.
I'm clearly missing something obvious!
Any help appreciated.

Hi All,
Within my wiki there is a need to select from a list of templates when
creating a new page. This works well if a user edits the address bar to have
the new page name. The MediaWiki:Noarticletext page has been modified to
list the templates to use when creating the page.
However, if a user selects a wanted page, or enters the page name in the
search field and clicks Go they are taken to a blank page. If they then
click cancel they get the MediaWiki:Noarticletext page.
Is there a way of getting all pages that do not exist to redirect to
{{PAGENAME}} and display the Noarticletext page?
Cheers
I have installed Semantic MediaWiki and have verified that it is working by creating a page called "TestSMW", and in it enter the wiki text: Property test: [[testproperty::Dummypage]]
Now, I think I have installed Semantic Forms correctly. However, how do I tell? Is there a page I can create with some specific text to ensure that it is installed correctly?
Sorry for the novice question. I am new to MediaWiki and especially extensions.
Thanks,
Shannon
Hi,
On my wiki, I have a lot of links to files which are all located on a
local server. However, when I click on them in the web browser, they
open up in the browser. So my question is, is there any way to make them
either open up in the correct application on the PC or in a separate
window in the browser?
Cheers,
Dan
I recently did an upgrade to 1.12 and decided I wanted to also add some
buttons to the toolbar. I have already added the TexBox extension and
that button was installed and working. I then proceeded to add a slew of
other buttons using the ones from other users and following the
instructions, I added them to Mediawiki:Common.js & they worked fine.
However after a few other upgrades i.e. Apache2 and a few others, now
the buttons do not appear on my machines, inside my intranet. I have
been told, and have seen myself, that they do appear when the pages are
viewed from outside my internal network. I figure I have crapped up
something with my system, but can not tell what is wrong. Any ideas are
appreciated. BTW; I am very much in a learning mode, so pointing to any
resource is great. Along with the disappearing buttons the left menu
panel is now below the page and the decorations at the very top of the
page disappeared. Is this normal in 1.12 or did I alter something. I am
using the CologneBlue skin.
This is a non-production site that I am learning on.
