Possible bug in Mediawiki 1.13 RC1
by John W Foster 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

I am trying the latest release and I am getting this error message: 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 "TitleKey::exactMatch". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'wikidb.pw_titlekey' doesn't exist (localhost)". >From Webmin checking the tables showes that every table has the pw_ prefix which I specified at install time. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks! - John Foster

Page Views Magic Word
by Bobby S 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

Charlotte, Yes, it would be incorrect by the time you see it if you have caching fully on. In my situation I would be flushing the cache every so often so that the page (and therefore the page views) would update. It probably doesn't exist because it would be counter-intuitive to most wikis out there. Was just checking.

Eh, wouldn't the value of {{PAGEVIEWS}} (on the page being viewed) be incorrect by the time you see it? ?C.W.

user rights
by Martin S 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

Reading the Manual:User rights page on Mediawiki I guess it isn't possible to have Anonymous users (not loggged in) Edit = false; Createtalk = true; //including edit talk page The reason I don't want anonymous users editing pages is that some of them may contain health sensitive information (editing /sabotaging them may have pretty nasty consequences). At least if you are logged in, I add some minor security for the information (of course you can still do harm if you want to, but hopefully the extra step to do so stops the average dimwit). Access to the Talk pages would not (directly) influence the content of the page "proper". I see there are several user rights extensions, but they all (? IIRC) come with some general warning about using them on your own risk. What do you all think about this? Regards, Martin S

How to make Mediawiki read PunBB ISO8859-1 latin caracters in logins from a punbb authentification ?
by hugo borrell 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Hello @ll, I installed this extension : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PunBB_Authentication with a slightly different code : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:PunBB_Authentication#mediawiki… It does work fine to let users from punbb connected into mediawiki. Only trouble : some of them have latin caracters (éèàçùêâû) in there login. Mediawiki use UTF-8 and PunBB ISO8859-1, so this is just a character encoding problem : I would like to do the equivalent as explained here for dokuwiki : http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:auth:punbb#faq What has to be done ?

how to get a non-breaking space between text and a graphic?
by Derrick Farnell 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Hi Placing a non-breaking space -   - between text and a graphic doesn't seem to work. That is, on this page: http://www.chainsofreason.org/wiki/Chain_32 gradually reducing the width of the browser window eventually causes the arrow graphic to jump down a line without taking with it the word which comes before it, even though the space between them is a non-breaking one (in the case of the first arrow on the page). The arrow doesn't make sense unless it is preceded by at least the last word of the preceding sentence. Does anyone know how to create a non-breaking space between text and a graphic? Derrick

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].

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.
