Hello:
I have a wiki running MediaWiki 1.18alpha. ImageMagick 6.6.6-5 is
enabled on the server, and so far images on the wiki have been scaled
and thumbnailed correctly.
However, I have a number of animated GIFs, and they are not resized
properly. In other words, [[Image:Foo.gif|#px]] will cause:
(1) a missing image sign to appear in placed of scaled animations
where #px is *smaller* than the original dimensions of the animation
(2) a working animation (albeit scaled on the client's side, which is
not ideal) for animations where #px is greater than or equal to the
original dimensions.
See http://knowino.org/w/index.php?title=File_talk:Test.gif&oldid=5330
for an example.
(By the way, running "php maintenance/eval.php" and entering "print
$wgMaxAnimatedGifArea" yields 20000000, after I upped the limit from
12500000. The animation is definitely under that size---a mere
100x100x2-frames = total area of 20000.)
I would like all GIF-animation scaling to be performed by the server.
Any ideas on why this isn't happening?
Cheers,
Tom.

Hi everyone,
since some two weeks or so, I have tried to install a working version of the trunk on my localhost that can be accessed with a web browser. I use a Ubuntu 10.04 with the GNOME desktop environment, so at first I've tried to install the mediawiki package from Synaptic, until I noticed that this is only MediaWiki 1.15.1, not sufficient for me. Setting this version up worked for me, i.e. there are no problems with the environment or the MySQL databases.
To get it working with the trunk, I have done these steps:
* Got the current version from SVN:svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/ /var/www/wiki/* Opened http://localhost/wiki/config/index.php in my browser, which gave me the following error:Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /wiki/config/index.php
on this server.
Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
Now I am wondering if you might be aware of the causes of this error and how to fix it. I'd be thankful for advice.
Cheers,

Hello!
Does the editor for wiki markup exists?
I always edit wiki pages with a standard web-editor where we have a text
field and some buttons for quickly add links, bold/italic font and so on.
Another way is to use WYSIWYG editor like FCK.
Is there an online or offline editor designed especially for complicated
wiki markup i.e in templates? What I'm interested mostly is:
* highlight features - highlight template parameters, reserved words and
mediawiki variables
* movings on braces - when I stay in the opening brace (it could be '{',
'{{', '[[' and so on ) I can go to the closing brace ('}', '}}', ']]')
* validate the markup - displaying errors like (Like 'sorry, you missed the
closing '}}'. Opening '{{' is on line 44, symbol 6)
* autocompletion
* hotkeys for template parameters, variables and so on
Some of these features Halo Extension can provide. Does anyone knows other
solutions?

Has anyone successfully used Microsoft Exchange web services to retrieve and embed calendar information in a wiki page? Or any other means of embedding a calendar from Exchange?

Sorry left the subject unedited, try again:-
I've just installed MediaWiki. When I click on the link for my username
and
"my talk" I just get text. EG for:
/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:MyUserName.
I have included some of it below, notice it begins half way through a
hyperlink.
Anyone any idea what's happening?
MediaWiki v1.16.0, PHP v5.2.6 and MySQL v5.0.77

Hi,
I am installing MediaWiki 1.16.0 on to this webserver – http://www.tickbox.co.nz/info.php at http://www.tickbox.co.nz/w/.
When I click on “Set Up The Wiki” noting happens at all.
I have installed MediaWiki on a number of occasions and never had this problem.
What could I be doing wrong?
Many thanks
Mark

Just out of curiosity can you point out which extensions are you talking

Interesting. I will take a look at it.

Let me explain little bit more clearly in case I was not in my original
post. I am not looking to hide the changes. What we really want is once a
article is posted to a particular category it is locked down and only few
people (who are a part of special group, let's just call "manager") can
modify it.
Another way to achieve this would be to put a lock on an entire category so
that only users in the "manager" group can post the article in that category
and once it is posted it is locked down.
Thanks for your input!
