$wgDBtransactions gets set to true if using InnoDB tables. Is there
an advantage to using InnoDB tables?
The disadvantage is that with MySQL there is a file, ibdata1, that
seems to grow endlessly if InnoDB tables are used. See
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=1341
We're wondering if we should just convert everything to MyISAM. Any
thoughts?

Hi all,
I've created some custom namespaced on one of my wikis, Botwiki
(previously known as pywikipedia).
I've put these lines in my LocalSettings.php file:
- ---
#Custom namespaces
$wgExtraNamespaces =
array(100 => "Manual",
101 => "Manual talk",
102 => "Python",
103 => "Python talk",
104 => "Php",
105 => "Php talk",
106 => "Perl",
107 => "Perl talk",
108 => "AWB",
109 => "AWB talk",
110 => "IRC",
111 => "IRC talk",
112 => "Other",
113 => "Other talk"
);
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 100;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 102;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 104;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 106;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 108;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 110;
$wgContentNamespaces[] = 112;
- ---
However, I have a big problem: when I go to a page in one of these new
namespaces (not the discussion, the main ones), for example
http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Perl:Copyright_Violation_Bot , I found the
red link to the discussion page. It's right, as there is no discussion
page for that article. But if you click on it, it brings you to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a…
correct, of course. But have a look of the article and discussion tabs:
they are both red! The first, "article", leads to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a…
when it should lead to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Perl:Copyright_Violation_Bot and the second,
"discussion", leads to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Talk:Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_…
, when it should lead to
http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a…
.
It's the first time I deal with custom namespaces :-( but I have some
ideas of what it can be. Can the problem be with the
$wgContentNamespaces settings? So it detects everything as ns0? (don't
think so).
Or can it be the fact that I haven't used an underscore in the
$wgExtraNamespaces definition?

Hi,
I have been trying to create a maintainable way of grouping pages
together and allowing readers to page through them in sequence. Most
samples I've seen use templates that require you to supply the
'previous' and 'next' page. This however results in three page edits
to insert a new page between two existing pages and does not guarantee
that your prev-sequence is identical to the next-sequence...
Being a programmer, that is way too much duplicate and error-prone
work for me ;-) There must be a better way to do this and I was hoping
to solve it with a plain MW installation (with ParserFunctions and
DynamicPageList at the moment).
Given an 'index' page that holds a list of all page titles in the
preferred order, isn't it possible to create a template that selects
the correct previous and next page title given the current page title?
I get stuck in getting the correct lines from the index page. DPL can
select based on section name (= page title), but then the contents of
that index section must be the prev/next links themselves:
=First Page=
Prev [[Second Page|Next]]
=Second Page=
[[First Page|Prev]] [[Third Page|Next]]
=Third Page=
.. etc.
This works, except that it is still a lot of duplication of page names
(but the edits are contained in a single page, big plus).
I hoped to simplify the index page by creating a template that writes
the section header and prev/next links, but then DPL no longer
recognizes the sections :-( Apparently DPL 'sees' the page text before
the templates are called ({{Page|Prev page|Page title|Next page}}:
{{Page||First Page|Second Page}}
{{Page|First Page|Second Page|Third Page}}
{{Page|Second Page|Third Page|Fourth Page}}
Basically my questions are:
1. Am I completely off track here?
2. Can DPL be coerced to evaluate templates before looking at the page
3. Can DPL (or another extension) select the text from a section
before/after a matched section?
4. Is it possible to determine the section sequence number given the
section name (so 'Second Page' results in 2, allowing me to use DPL to
retrieve the name of section 2 -/- 1 and 2 + 1 to create the prev/next
links?
Apologies for the long post, hopefully someone can point me to some
good resources (I've been to Meta, Wikibooks, Medawiki.org but could
very well have overlooked something there as the amount of info is a
bit overwhelming and it is difficult to judge how up to date it is).

Hi all, hi Bernard... probably, my response is a bit late, but I spent
time reading (hopefully!) carefully all the answers...
Thus, my 0,02$:
I think that probably the correct question is: "Please convince me to
make my business model" :-)
I agree with others that probably, the SaaS business models require
closed source. Thus, probably, no choice...
IMHO the open source software implies a different business model,
something similar to "partnership".
Good luck, honestly,
Giuseppe Briotti.

Hello,
Excuse me if my question sounds like a newbie, but I still am; I
inherited the Wiki Server some months ago. I am preparing to upgrade
MediaWiki 1.11.0 to 1.15.2, and we currently have 30 wiki’s.
My understanding is, I can upgrade each wiki individually. Having said
that, can I perform the install process of the new version, replace the
old wiki’s with the new install individually? Hence not having any
databases being affected except for the wiki I upgrade.
I trust that this question is in keeping with this forum.
Thanks,
Graham

They have a "products" link. Click that, there's "blindness". There, click "BrailleNote". I have an mPower BT 32 cell.

Hm, I see no mention of PHP either in their brochure. Or a webserver
or a MySQL database. So I consider it to be a moot point anyway, as
you cannot use MediaWiki locally and if you have a webserver
somewhere, it will more than likely support .tar.gz
Would an online unzip server help?
Something like http://wobzip.org/ perhaps; you can point it directly
to your source URL.
You would still need to save and untar the result though...

So... complain to HumanWare?
I don't know what kind of software runs there.
I first thought that you were running some Windows, in which case you
could use binaries that don't need "installation", like the ones on [1]
[2]. There are also subversion clients that are "unzip & run".
Since you can't install software, are you sure you will be able to run
MediaWiki there? You will need at least a php interpreter, and a web
server (you could skip the db server if using SQLite backend).
It would also be possible to use a php script to ungzip an untar the
package.
If you can't install software, installing mediawiki may not be too feasible.

2- http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libarchive.htm
hmmm...I'm stumped. I do understand the need for such manufacturers to lock
down their systems, but I would think they could grant some kind of
admin-level access so you could setup the software you need.
Wish I could help more.
