page appears in both NS_MAIN and NS_PROJECT
by jidanni＠jidanni.org 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

On http://radioscanningtw.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Allpages do you see the page台描:頻率間隔 ? Well, this is a rare case of a page that was created with a prefix that would later match NS_PROJECT. I.e., not waiting for them to change $wgSitename first, I created that page as if it was already in that namespace anyway. Now no matter how much I delete it, I can't get it out of Special:Allpages. So I suppose I should ask them to change $wgSitename to something else, create, then delete the page, then change $wgSitename back? Then later I can recreate the page so that it only will appear in Special:Allpages/Project:, instead of both namespaces. Is that how one deals with pages like this?

Good afternoon. My name is Leandro and I am using MediaWiki for the first time. The instalation was very peaceful and successful. I am encountering problems in the administration of users x groups of the system. Using the option Special: Userrights I managed to create new groups. There are some extensions to facilitate the display/administration? It is possible to have support in Portuguese? If some using Brazil level will be able to help to mine msn is: lsouza_rj(a)hotmail.com thanks Leandro Souza

If there's a hook there then sure somebody can write an extension. Not a bad place for a hook really, people should be able to add their own stats to the table. -Chad On Aug 5, 2009 11:11 PM, "K.

Special:Statistics and wikiFactor.
by carl 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Dear MediaWiki developers, I am wondering if it is possible to add the value of the wikiFactor for a MediaWiki site to the Special:Statistics page? Unfortunately I have no php programming experience, so I am unable to suggest a modification myself, although I suspect that a simple do-wile loop with the correct parameters would suffice. =Background= The wikiFactor is a measure of the interest that a wiki site has received. For details see the paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/0902.3439 Its calculation is rather simple; one visits (for MediaWiki) the Special:PopularPages page. The wikiFactor (wF) is the page that has had more than 1000 x wF views. For example: here is an extract from a Special:Statistics page, the wikiFactor is 7: 6 Models (10,455 views) 7 Hard sphere model (10,447 views) 8 Computer simulation techniques (7,728 views) 9 Classical thermodynamics (7,621 views) i.e. page 7 has had more than 7,000 views, whilst page 8 has yet to reach 8,000 views. Presently the wikiFactor is being rolled-out on the wikiIndex site, a compendium of over 4,000 wiki sites. see: http://www.wikiindex.org/Category:WikiFactor All the best, carl >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dr. Carl McBride Grupo de Termodinamica Estadistica de Fluidos Moleculares Departamento de Quimica Fisica I Facultad de Ciencias Quimicas Universidad Complutense de Madrid 28040 Madrid Spain www.ucm.es/info/molecsim/carlmcbride.html www.SklogWiki.org >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

But perhaps the best way would be client-side, with javascript. It seems it might otherwise present a caching challenge to the server. :::: If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers. -- Thomas Pynchon :::: :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality: http://www.EcoReality.org/wiki/User:Jan_Steinman ::::

Private notepad extension?
by Eric K 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Yahoo mail has a great feature of Notepad which I like. Is it possible to have a private notepad extension where I can save stuff right there on the wiki? Maybe a User/notepad thing where only the user can see and edit that page. Any easy way of doing this?
