Show a section of an article into another page
by Juan Jesús Cremades Monserrat 10 Dec '10

Hi, I was looking for some meaning to do the next: - I have an article A1 with its sections, like S1, etc. - I'm working in a article A2 and I want to appear the section S1 from the article A1. The objective is that if I modify the S1, the changes appears too in the A2. I remember that DPL2 did this, but now it's obsolete. Thanks

Possible to block users from using a specific email service?
by Clayton 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

I'm busy tidying up spam on the OOoWiki on a fairly regular basis. The OOoWiki uses several tools to block/stop spammers (BadBehavior, the spam RegEx etc.)... it's working most of the time, but the spammers still get in and vandalize pages several times per week. I've been poking around and discovered that a lot of the spammers (who create an account just to post a URL link) are using Mailinator dot com to create a one-time-use throwaway email address to receive the Wiki user authentication email. Is there any practical way of blocking new users from using specific services like Mailinator? Is there a better way of dealing with situations like this? C.

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.

Database error - LinkHolderArray::replaceInternal
by Hans 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Hi, I am migrating our wiki to another server, and upgrading the Mediawiki version in the process (from 1.13.3 to 1.16.0) But at some pages I now get the following error message; -------- A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "LinkHolderArray::replaceInternal". Database returned error "1271: Illegal mix of collations for operation ' IN ' (localhost)". -------- I have already determined this has to do with some characters being in article titles/wiki links (the Czech 'č' for instance, see http://wiki.scramble.nl/index.php?title=Fokker_F.XVIII&action=historysubmit…). Having the same characters in the main text is not an issue (compare [[Česká Letecká Společnost|ČLS]] which doesn't work, with [[Ceská Letecká Spolecnost|ČLS]] which does). What surprised me, was that the error also occurred when I tried to preview this page, at which point there there is no database query (yet) I would imagine. But I may be wrong on that :-) So it seems it has something to do with the character sets used, but as my expertise on that is rather basic, I have not a clue what exactly. What did I do so far; - dumped the databases on the old server with mysqldump - installed MW 1.16.0 on the new server - imported the database dump on the new server (completely, dropping the 'newly created tables' from last step first) - ran the update.php script - uploaded the images directories (OK, this has nothing to do with above issue, just being complete ;-) ) - installed the current versions of all extensions we used on the old server Could anybody tell what I did wrong, or point me to a solution? I would like being able to use those characters, as is the case on our old server. Thanks in advance! Regards, Hans
