Bugzilla mailer-daemon address changed
by Brion Vibber 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Just a quick note -- Mail from Bugzilla is now being sent from the address bugzilla-daemon(a)wikimedia.org instead of bugzilla-daemon(a)mail.wikimedia.org to (hopefully) play nicer with spam filters and such. You may need to update your local filters if you're checking this exact address to put bugmail in a folder. -- brion

Welcome to mediawiki-l (weekly posting)
by river＠nightshade.toolserver.org 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

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>.

v. 1.15.1 : blank page after file upload
by Rob Lingelbach 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

I just upgraded from v. 1.13.3 to 1.15.1, and am getting the dreaded "blank page after file upload." The file is actually uploaded ok, as I can confirm by searching the /images directory, but I can't link to it successfully with wiki syntax. The file is not listed in the Special:ListFiles . I had already done the usual things with PHP and LocalSettings.php to be liberal with file uploads, i.e. increased memory limits, etc. and was having no problems with v. 1.13.3 . The upgrade from 1.13.3 went smoothly following the instrux as given for database updates, no errors returned. PHP version is 5.2.10 mysql is 5.1.36 thanks very much for any help, in advance. -- Rob Lingelbach rob(a)colorist.org

When I try to edit a page, it just prompts me a box to download the index.php file
by sindefinir sindefinir 15 Jul '09

Hi, I've extensively googling about this error, without been able to find anything related but this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk/Sections/PHP#.5BRESOLVED… neither help me to solve the error. This happens when I am logged in. I'm using mediawiki 1.14 with apache2 php module. If I save the index.php, I can see it is an empty file. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Errors

Hi Henny Savenije, I think the practice differs from webhost to webhost. I was once asked to pay US$28.75 to restore a backup (without guarantee) by my previous webhost, Siteground. Apparently, they kept 2 daily backups at any one time. The two backups turned out to be corrupted and yet, they said I still have to pay.

I'd suggest to delete the pages and recreate them again. Don't forget to delete them from the cache as well.

Uh.. I guess you didn't read the previous messages about this.. these bots can get around the captchas (see articles about captcha farms in india) and I already have SpamBLacklist installed .. I need TitleBlacklist to block them from spamming useraccounts with words like Viagra etc in them --- On Tue, 7/14/09, Michael Daly <michael.daly(a)kayakwiki.org> wrote: > From: Michael Daly <michael.daly(a)kayakwiki.org> > Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] MW v. 1.15.1 - How do I safely delete a user? > To: 2007(a)gmaskfx.com, "MediaWiki announcements and site admin list" <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> > Date: Tuesday, July 14, 2009, 3:15 PM > 2007(a)gmaskfx.com > wrote: > > > Because these annoying spambots have created at least > a hundred user accounts > > Install the SpamBLacklist extension and a Captcha extension > (reCaptcha is one I like and it helps resolve scanned > document text).

Because these annoying spambots have created at least a hundred user accounts that start with a number then some phrase like "buy viagra" plus there are a ton of other accounts I suspect where created by bots that are just random numbers and letters that I want to get rid of.,. they make the user list look trashy ;-) In fact I may ban numbers in usernames altogether :P --- On Tue, 7/14/09, Tim Ware <tim(a)hyperarts.com> wrote: > From: Tim Ware <tim(a)hyperarts.com> > Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] MW v. 1.15.1 - How do I safely delete a user? > To: "2007(a)gmaskfx.com" <2007(a)gmaskfx.com>, "MediaWiki announcements and site admin list" <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> > Cc: "MediaWiki announcements and site admin list" <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> > Date: Tuesday, July 14, 2009, 12:23 PM > > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Jul 14, 2009, at 10:11 AM, "2007(a)gmaskfx.com" > <2007(a)gmaskfx.com> > > wrote: > > > > > Oh I can't wait to install this ..it's gonna be a 666 > buy viagra > > bloodbath > > > > Could you please explain why?
