I know, I know, no flurry of posts advising switch to LAMP. I'm stuck with
WIMP (Windows, IIS, . . .) at least for now.
When using an db administrative account other than 'root', for connecting
to MySQL running under Windows Server Platform, update consistently fails
due to insufficient account privileges, specifically, "ALTER" privileges. I
have gone into MySQL and changed the db administrator user privileges to
have everything, then rebooted the machine, but that doesn't work either.
Workaround is to change $wgDBadminuser to 'root', run the updates, then
change back. I have never been comfortable with leaving the password
($wgDBadminpassword) to 'root' in a text file even if only temporarily, and
doing this for 20 or so wikis is cumbersome, so I'm not highly enamored of
this solution.
Before I document this workaround on mediawiki, am I doing something stupid
and obvious (and if so, advice on solution is solicited) or is this just
another one of the funky little reasons to switch to LAMP?

I have been digging through the wikia svn and I would like to take a
crack at implementing comments using the comments extension
(https://svn.wikia-code.com/wikia/releases/200809.2/extensions/wikia/comments)
ala ArmchairGM (http://www.armchairgm.com/). Is there some place that
I can get the table schema? I don't see a lot of sql files for many of
these extensions, so it may be something that just isn't provided. Is
there a good way to infer the schema if they are not provided?
Thanks
Hello,
up to now we are still using mediawiki 1.5. I wanted to upgrade to 1.13.
So I made a test installation, which is giving me just one problem.
In our current version you are only allowed to edit an article when you
are logged in but anyone can read it. And I plan to keep it that way.
In 1.5, when you are not logged in you can see all the edit links in an
article and clicking one will bring you to the login page.
In 1.13 these edit links are not available when you are not logged in,
which seems to annoy the test users quite a bit as our articles are
quite long.
Can anyone help me to get the edit links back and redirect them to the
login page, if the user is not logged in? Or maybe turn them into login
links?
Regards,
Ulrich

I have seen that there's RSS (etc) feeds under Special:Recentchanges but
if I want to be able to get an RSS feed for a given page (say
User:Michael) what do I need to do?
And if I want to allow users to get an RSS feed for any page, eg by
clicking on an icon, is there an efficient manner to set this up?
Sorry if this has been answered before but I'm new to Wiki management
and my searches have proved fruitless.

Dear list-membersl,
I searched the archive, found similar questions but no answers. I
am using img_auth.php like mentioned here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_Authorisation#Another_Scenario.2…
Unfortunately I can upload pictures but I can't access them, I only
get "Access Denied You need to log in to access files on this
server."
I tried different settings in localsettings, checked rights on the
relevant folders, was searching the internet. I have no idea where
to search.
I would very much appreciate some hints!
This are my Versions:
MediaWiki 1.13.0
PHP 5.2.6 (cgi)
MySQL 5.0.51a-log
Thanks and best regards,
Holger
I always like seeing MediaWiki in the news and when someone I've seen
post to this list gets quoted it's even more exciting.
http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080903/full/455022a.html Jim Hu and his
EcoliWiki are mentioned in the biologist centric article.
Is there a simple way to do the following?
I have a template called Book link:
[[{{{1}}} by {{{2}}}|{{{1}}}]]
If I try to call that from elsewhere as a section heading:
=={{Book link|Title of the book|John Author}}==
Then the heading breaks and renders both the "==" directly on the page. Is
there some way to get templates to expand inside section headings properly?
If I manually replace that with:
==[[Title of the book by John Author|Title of the book]]==
all is fine.

Fairly large wiki, with 12,000 images and 46,000 pages. This morning we
upgraded our database server to a newer machine. All of the content, etc
works fine and nothing was lost, but now images no longer appear and are
replaced with their names. Clicking on the name says image not found.
The images are still there on the server in the images dir. For example.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Image:100px-Floridamarlins.gif
can be found here
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bpv/images/5/51/100px-Floridamarlins.gif
I've tried rebuildImages.php from the command line and that doesn't do the
trick. Any thoughts? Re-import them?
I'm guessing that updating the db somehow messed up mediawiki knowing the
exact path to the image, but I'm not sure about that.
thanks,
sean
