I'm setting up a MediaWiki system, and am trying to get the system to
authenticate to eDirectory. The MediaWiki server is running on a Suse Linux
Enterprise 11 server (Novell), and authenticating against a Novell Netware
6.5 server. The Linux server is NOT running eDirectory, but needs to
authenticate against another server.
I've run a DSTRACE on the Novell server, and don't even see the MW system
trying to authenticate. I cannot find the proper settings to turn on
debugging tools on the MW system to see what the problem might be.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hey folks, new user here. I have a new install of MediaWiki that seems
to be fine. However, I'd like to "wrap" some elements from the rest of
my site around the MediaWiki. For example, add some links to the main
page (not MediaWiki main page, but the site) and add a few other
important site wide links that don't go to a MediaWiki page. I can do
some of this with just CSS, but actually adding links seems like it's
going to require some MW config.
I looked at the docs, and I thought I could use the OutputPageBeforeHTML
hook, but now I'm not so sure.
(Link for reference:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/OutputPageBeforeHTML )
I'd like to add a couple of links to the start or end of the "topbar",
but I don't see a method in the OutputPage.php object to do so. I'd also
like to add some links to the "quickbar". Am I missing something?
Also, I want to create all new blocks of links (new div, new list of
links, etc.) just inside the <body> tag, either at the beginning or the
end of the <body> block.
Is there a better way of doing this besides the OutputPageBeforeHTML
hook? Hopefully someone has done this before.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sí, es evidente que se trata de un «malentendido» de ese tipo. Mi
impresión era que en la base de datos está en UTF-8 pero que
por alguna razón cree que está en latin-1, lo que daría el resultado
que conté cuando lo pasa a UTF-8 para sacar el HTML.

No se arregla, así que... :-(
Gracias.

I've just installed the FCKeditor extension on 1.15.0 and it works fine
(not sure that I'll use it, given that you need to switch to Wikitext to
edit templates, but I'm sure the punters will like it), BUT ....
Special:Version now gives me an empty page - the white space ends just
below the title. There's nothing in the Apache error log, so I'm a bit
unsure of where the problem might lie. Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks,

Hi,
We have a problem with the group feature of the cite extension.
The construction below works in Mediawiki 1.14, but not in 1.12 and
1.13.2.
== This should work ==
This should work regarding
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:REFNOTE#Separating_reference_lis
ts_and_explanatory_notes]
Todo:<ref group="todo">todo item 1</ref>
==Todos==
<references group="todo" />
In 1.12 and 1.13.2 we get the message:
Cite error 3; Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many
At http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php in section
Grouped references I read:
This may be disabled by $wgAllowCiteGroups = false; if desired.
However, it is enabled on the foundation wikis.
But where can I find $wgAllowCiteGroups?
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Peter Verhoeven

Hello,
I have problems to upload some types of files
LocalSettings.php:
$wgCheckFileExtensions = false;
$wgStrictFileExtensions = false;
$wgVerifyMimeType = false;
$wgFileExtensions = array( '7z', 'zip', 'rar', 'exe', 'gif', 'jpeg',
'jpg', 'png', 'odp', 'ods', 'odt', 'pdf' );
I could upload 'gif', 'jpg', 'png', 'pdf', 'ods', 'odt' ... etc. but
not 'exe' and some times 'zip'
Every attempt to upload an .exe gives an error
"„.exe“ ist ein nicht erlaubtes Dateiformat. Erlaubt sind die
Dateiformate: 7z, zip, rar, exe, gif, jpeg, jpg, png, odp, ods, odt, pdf."
works:
rac-exe.zip
rac.odt.zip
rac.ods.odt.odt
rac.ods.zip.odt
works *not*:
rac.exe -- reports „.exe“ not allowed
rac.exe.zip -- reports „.zip“ not allowed
rac.ods.exe.odt -- reports „.odt“ not allowed
Why does MW checks extensions if I explicitly say
"$wgCheckFileExtensions = false"?
It seems that a file with an an embedded "exe" part could not be uploaded!
Thanks for any hint,
Peter
Hi,
If I'm logged on to wikipedia.org I see an option PDF Version.
I don't see this option at mediawiki.org or if I logged off from
wikipedia.org.
Is there an extension implementing this feature?

When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the

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

Ever since upgrading to 1.14, whenever I upload a file that is large enough
to trigger the File namespace to show a preview instead of the full image,
the preview does not appear. I tried chmodding images -R 777 again, but no
luck. Through what program does MediaWiki generate these previews? Any other
ideas?
Thanks much!
Hola,
I just created https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20768 ("Branch
1.16") and Brion was quick to respond that some issues with js2 and the
new-upload stuff need to be ironed out; valid concerns, of course.
I proposed to make bug 20768 a tracking bug, so that it can be made visible
what issues are to/could be considered blocking something we can make a 1.16
out of.
Let the dependency tagging begin. Users of MediaWiki trunk are encouraged to
report each and every issue, so that what is known can also be resolved
(eventually).
I'm calling on all volunteer coders to keep an eye on this issue and to help
out fixing issues that are mentioned here.
Cheers!
Siebrand
