Numbering of paragraphs
by Sarel Wesssels (Agri Wiki) 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

When I load my wiki, the paragraphs are numbered, without being logged in, in other words as an anonymous visitor. Then I changed the option: $wgDefaultUserOptions['numberheadings'] = 0; Ok, now the numbering of the paragraphs are gone. But when I log in with my username, the paragraphs are numbered again. How can I change this option for all users so that is off/zero. Thanks, Regards, Sarel

using a bot to start threads with LiquidThreads
by Reid Priedhorsky 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

[I am not sure if this is the correct place to pose this question, but I didn't see anything else in either the LiquidThreads README or http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads.] Dear all, We would like to automatically post messages to user talk pages, using a bot. We have LiquidThreads installed. Has this been done? The LQT model does not seem to fit the Python Wikipedia Framework or Mediawiki API models. Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks, Reid

New Namespace and default content
by Andrew Thornton 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

I have just created a new namespace and I need to put some specific wiki markup within it, for all instances. What is the best way to go about this? I have looked into extensions for preloading, etc but I wanted to see what was working for others. I appreciate any and all input.

problems with image thumbnailing
by Zürcher Sebastian 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

Hello I use Image-Magick to convert images. If I try to convert a image which contains special chars in the filename I get this error: Unable to open file (/var/www/wiki/images/4/46/Sper_Tst.png) The mediawiki filename is "Süper Töst.png". In the wikipedia-project it works with filenames containing umlauts or other special chars. How have they solved this problem, or what is your solution? I look forward to hearing from you. About my installation: MediaWiki 1.13.1 (r41148) PHP 5.2.6-0.dotdeb.1 (apache2handler) PostgreSQL PostgreSQL 8.3.3, compiled by Visual C++ build 1400 OS Debian Linux Etch Greets Sebastian Zürcher

cronjob database backup
by Rein 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

about this part of the database cronjob: * /usr/bin/nice Platonides wrote: It's nice program. I see here a /bin/nice but not a /usr/bin/nice Comment: a. May I conclude that you can't be sure "nice" is on your systemin that case the line should be deleted, and all of its's argument as wellHow should the command look like in that case?b. Or that the line is wrong?Just changing it to /bin/nice would be enoughc. Or that the line is dependent of your system?And, if the last is true:How should anyone be able to check that?Rein

Hello, I'm currently running version 1.13 on a site that's on shared hosting (I lack root/shell access). I've read through the Upgrade guide, but I'm unsure of what the best alternative method is. Thanks for the help. -oppdis

Setting up WikiFamily
by Samuel Richardson 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

Hello List, I've read through the MediaWiki WikiFamily article a couple of times but I'm having trouble applying it to my own setup. I currently run about 4 wikis that I would like to share the MediaWiki install code between. Each Wiki is currently contained in its own folder, runs under its own domain name and has its own database. Would checking out the latest version of MediaWiki from SVN then replacing each of the folders in the base MediaWiki install (excluding the Images folder) with symlinks be enough? What do I do about some of the rogue php files that living the root of the MediaWiki folder? (img_auth.php, StartProfiler.php) etc? Symlink those as well? I want to get my setup to a stage that updating all the mediawiki installs only requires me to run an SVN update in one place.
