$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.
Hi,
is there an extension or similiar to automatically display the author of an
article (not the history button)?
Thanks, Helmut

Hello !
Here is what I would like to do :
1. When a user logs in, I would like to put him in a Namespace called FOO by
default instead of "MAIN". Is that possible ?
2. When a logged in user wants to create a new article, I would like to
place that article in a Namespace of my choice. Is that possible ?
Any help/pointers would be appreciated to this newbie.
Regards,
elcpub

Indeed. Here'S my take on it: <http://brightbyte.de/page/WikiData_light>.
I have proposed this as a project to the German chapter, maybe it'll actually be
taken on...

Yes you are right, i was only thinking of the meta-info about licenses
themselves. For authorship info, you'd need screen scarping -- or stored
page:template:parameter:value tuples.
I REALLY want that. It would be extremly useful for a LOT of things. And it's
not hard to do. CC-ing mediawiki-l.

Greetings all -
I installed the UserRightsList extension last month and it worked as
expected, until today, when I installed the GroupPermissionsManager.
It's odd, because login to the wiki is permitted, but the [edit] button is
now hidden.
I tried appending "&action=edit" to the URL, but the response is:
"Permission Error You are not allowed to execute the action you have
requested."
According to Special:ListGroupRights page, I am Sysop and have edit rights.
The good news was that I was able to restore [edit] by disabling the
UserRightsList,
however the [history] request now gives the same error response.
Version info here:

Thanks,
