Redirect
by Philip Beach 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hey all, Can anyone help me write an apache alias/redirect to get users from mysite.com to mysite.com/wiki I am using pretty URL's so /wiki is actually /w using this apache alias: Alias /wiki /var/www/w/index.php However, this requires users to click the "w" directory to enter the site, very bad. Thanks

Welcome to mediawiki-l. This mailing list exists for discussion and questions about the MediaWiki software[0]. 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]. Many common questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if your question has been asked before. 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. This avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic. About this message. This message is posted to the list once per week by <river(a)wikimedia.org>.

Embedding videos in Wiki
by Poorani Aravindan (paravind) 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hi All, What are steps required to enable our Wiki users embed tutorials (AVI or MP4 files) created by them into wiki pages. At present our wiki allows us to just upload images files and not video files. Should we be implementing Embed Media extension and configure file extension and file size to support these media files. Thanks, Poorani

How to rollback to last good page damanged by vandalism
by Mark Johnson 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Environment: MediaWiki 1.12.0, Linux Redhat My personal site got vandalized by hundreds of page changes. I was going to try to undo them by hand but I kept getting: "The edit could not be undone due to conflicting intermediate edits." So I found information about doing automated "rollbacks" here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Rollback and here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Administrators#Rollback But when I follow the process and pass "action=rollback" I get the following error: unknown_action: Unrecognised value for parameter 'action' It seems the only actions I have available to me are: login, logout, query, expandtemplates, parse, opensearch, feedwatchlist, help, paraminfo Is it that my version of MW doesn't have the rollback feature? Do I need to upgrade to the recent version and do you know if that will enable me to rollback to my original page? Thanks for your help! Mark

hiding mailto links from users who are not logged in
by Joel Uckelman 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

I'm migrating from a custom web site to MediaWiki a collection of pages which contain information for various games, including player lists with contact information (mostly email addresses). The old site only shows the email addresses (as mailto links) when a user is loged in; if you browse to one of these pages without being logged in, you see names only, without the mailto links. The purpose of this is to hinder address harvesters, the assumption being that they won't bother to get an account on our site. Is there a way to do this with MediaWiki? -- J.

Hey all, How can I set my path to be mywiki.com/Pagename instead of mywiki.com/index.php/Pagename as it is now? Thanks (For those who saw my previous question, I've changed my mind ;) )

common.css overrides monobook's main.css? -correction
by Onur Safak 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Oops, I mean "shared.css" when I say "common". Sorry =) Onur ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Onur Safak <wikimedialist.007(a)onursafak.com> Date: Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 4:43 PM Subject: common.css overrides monobook's main.css? To: mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi, I'm making a custom skin based on MonoBook. Isn't main.css meant to override common.css? Currently "a.new, #quickbar a.new" rule in "common", overrides any "a.new" rule in "main". "main" is '@import'ed after "common" in the index php file. I don't get the point of having a dominant color rule in a shared css file. Is it intentional? Thanks, Onur
