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.

I added the following regarding 'pcre.backtrack_limit' and PHP 5.2.x
to the MediaWiki.org wiki at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSpamRegex :
===pcre.backtrack_limit===
PHP 5.2.x introduced pcre.backtrack_limit with default 100000
(less than 100K). I think that is too low and trips up the regex. See
stronk7 at moodle dot org's 13-Sep-2007 comment (Find '13-Sep-2007')
at http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php. Try adding the following
line to LocalSettings.php:
ini_set( 'pcre.backtrack_limit', '2M' );
I don't know what value is appropriate. 2M works for me. Someone
who knows more please adjust that.
Is 2M reasonable there? What about 8M?
What would be a safe setting? What other server configs dictate what
is appropriate there?
And I set 'memory_limit' to 20M in my LocalSettings.php. Is that
necessary? Is this appropriate, too?
ini_set( 'memory_limit', '20M' );
What sort of trouble am I getting into?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I could not find the skin that is being used for the mobile Wikipedia version,
i.e. http://de.m.wikipedia.org/
There is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileSkin but there is no
mention that this is the actual skin Wikipedia uses and I could not find any
examples how that skin looks.
Would anyone care to point me to the right place?
Thanks!
Pascal
I have a wiki that uses a default skin (a copy of the Monobook skin but
with a background image defined in headbg.jpg file in that skin's
directory). After installing the Usability Initiative extension, when I
connect to the wiki as an anonymous user, I get the blank (Vector?) skin
without my background image. After I log in, I get my default skin, as I
should. Logging out gives me the blank (Vector?) skin again without my
background image.
Anybody got any clues?
The local settings has defined
$wgDefaultSkin = 'cancervoicesnsw';

Hello,
After upgrading to 1.16.0 on my test wiki, there's two users that are
deemed "Not Registered if I click on them under "User list".
Here is the error:
User account "JH293137" is not registered.
Please check if you want to create/edit this page.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Vector does away with the book background image in favor of a gradient.
But the question is, why is the Vector skin being display at all when the local settings file is configured to use my skin and why does logging in then correctly show my skin and then logging out revert back to Vector?

Hi-
I'm running Mediawiki Version 1.16 using PHP 5.1.6 on Red Hat Enterprise 5.5
We use a skin 'rilpoint' on our wiki. I just changed our logo, and have some background
& header color changes I would like to make to match. $wgStylePath is not explicitly set in our
LocalSettings.php, but the skin is, so I assumed that one of the stylesheets under
"wiki/skins/rilpoint/" is where I would make that change. I've tried this, but do not see any results.
Am I looking in the right place? Is there an easy way to figure out what style sheets I'm picking up?
I apologize if this seems a little basic. Apache & Mysql I can do. Pretty web pages throw me for a loop :)
Thanks,
Mark

If I use the search box on the left of the wiki, it seems to search the
entire wiki.
For example, from here:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx
If I search "xml", it will find things above the page in the directory
hierarchy. Is there a way to search "only this page and below", or even
something like search only on this page? Our instructions currently read
"Use ctrl+f to search for something on this page", but that seems a bit
hacky. Or is there another way to add a separate text box at the top of the
page that will perform this ctrl+f style search?

Thanks,
David
