Greetings,
When I install the Collection extension to my MW 1.15.1, it creates the "print/export" box to the Sidebar automatically, which is very good.
Now, I'd like to add the link of Category:Books (bookshelf) to the "print/export" box, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated,
Ross

Greetings,
I can't figure out how to remove the section “References” that is automatically appended to every downloaded PDF.
I don’t need contributors’ names to appear on the PDFs.
For the more, if I could replace it with my copyright info that would be great.
Any idea would be appreciated,
Ross

New job, new intranet Mediawiki installation! This one is 1.12. I want
to add FCKeditor to it - particularly as current versions are very
usable indeed - but the mediawiki.org page is entirely unclear on the
right way to go:
* Kludge it into 1.12 however feasible?
* Upgrade to 1.15 and kludge it in?
* Upgrade to 1.16 when that's out and apparently pull from svn?
I do plan to upgrade to 1.16 when feasible, but the wiki is in a
nascent state (people still copy'n'pasting docs from the previous
horrible intranet) so I'd like to get it in there ASAP.
What have others done?

I am running mediawiki on Linux a box.
Here is what I have noticed:
[file://G:\TEMP\linktest\test.pdf]
works fine
But when there are spaces in the folder/file name (for example:G:\TEMP\link test\test.pdf):
[file://G:\TEMP\link%20test\test.pdf]
does not work
However if you add an extra "/" in the file:// keyword like this:
[file:///G:\TEMP\link%20test\test.pdf]
works fine.
Is this something normal? Is there any setting (in Mediawiki) by which adding the extra "/" can be taken care off. It is easy for technical users but non-technical users can get frustrated if they have to remember these details.

Hopefully this is an easy one, but I don't know where to start. I just
tried to install MediaWiki 1.15.1 on my Fedora Core 9 Linux box, but it
failed to install claiming that it got a bad resource.
Here's what the installer said:
Checking the version of Postgres...
*Warning*: pg_version(): supplied argument is not a valid PostgreSQL
link resource in */var/www/html/wiki/includes/db/DatabasePostgres.php*
on line *1078*
*FAILED*. Required version is 8.1. You have 7.3 or earlier
But I know I have version 8.3.3. loaded so I don't know how it's coming
up with this conclusion. I wrote a little PHP script to double-check
pg_version(), and as expected, I got:
Version is 8.3.1
Server is 8.3.3
Protocol is 3
Does anyone know how I can fix this and get this wiki wiki'ing?
Many thanks!

I hope this isn't too off-topic or a disallowed topic, but....
First, I’m interested to know if anyone can recommend any developer(s)
skilled in creating themes for Drupal 6 – we have an immediate need
for additional resources along these lines, and would be interested in
speaking to anyone who fits that bill (particularly from developers in
the San Francisco Bay Area).
Second, does anyone know of any listservs or similar resources
dedicated to Drupal theme creation? We regularly follow discussions on
Drupal.org for updates to modules, discussion of bugs etc, but
wondering if there are any communities out there that focus more
specifically on Drupal’s presentation layer? Would love to hear any
recommendations!
Thanks for any help here.
Tim

That is a current limitation with Unicode support between Lucene and
Mediawiki. It didn't appear to be a huge issue, more just some slight
differences in how the two products render/handle Unicode, but it's a
big enough problem that we had to put it off at the time.

Greetings,
I like the EzMwLucene search engine for my MediaWiki 1.15.1.
But the search results are listed in wrong order.
If a serach result has full text match, it should be listed at the top, but it's put on the third position. The ones listed above it have higher value of relevance, but the words are just partially matched.
How could I adjust the relevance, or change the way of list order?
Any idea is appreciated.

Greetings,
I am using EzMwLucene for MediaWiki 1.15.1 as the search engine.
If I search Japanese characters, I always get "No page text matches" even though the pages exist.
If one of the Search results (by searching English words) contains Japanese characters, they all show as question marks (?????????).
Is this a bug, or a problem of my configuration?
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

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.

To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a

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

style[11], for clarity.
When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the

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

avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic.
