Replicating a Wiki
by Sabatino, Rick 04 May '10

04 May '10

I have a wiki that I want to use as a starting point for a new wiki, but with a new name, db, etc. I know I can export/import pages, but is there a way of exporting all of the contents of one wiki into a new instance easily? Thanks, Rick

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Sub pages in TOC? (Clayton)

> > This extension link was posted to the list a few days ago > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SubPageList2 > > It seems to do the job you want. > > C. Hi Clayton, thanks for your replay. I checked SubPageList2 and SubPageList3 and I noticed that including the subpage list in the TOC is in the wish list. At the moment I extrac the subpages for a given (i.e. current, in this case) page by Dynamic Page List and put all in a template that wrap the TOC, but the result is not so good... Probably what can I do is contact the developer of SubPageList3 to work with on this feature...

Best way to migrate from 1.6 to 1.15
by Toshi Esumi 04 May '10

04 May '10

Hi, We finally got a new Linux based server (running on VMware) to migrate our current v1.6 wiki for our company knowledge-base to. It's been a quite long story (bankruptcy&acqusition-survival-sort-of-stuff) to get to the current status, which nothing to do with my question. Anyhow, the existing stand-alone machine is another kind of Linux (Centos). I'm guessing our database is relatively simple, mainly text +image files. Since we got a new server, I think we have some options to do the migration safely and effectively. We already got V1.15.2 installed and running on the new server. Does anybody have suggestions for the migration procedure? Or can anybody point me to a wiki page(s) where I can find the info I'm looking for? Just like most of you, we don't have a dedicated IT person who I might able to ask to do some research. Lots of thanks in advance. Toshi

Replacement of EmbedVideo extension?
by dan nessett 04 May '10

04 May '10

On the mediawiki web page for the EmbedVideo extension is this warning: "This extension appears to have been abandoned by its author. If you have any up-to-date information about this extension, please update the page and remove this notice. Users are advised against installing this extension on any current versions of MediaWiki!" Does anyone know of another extension that supplies the same functionality as EmbedVideo? Thanks, Dan Nessett

Get error while editing
by Herulee 04 May '10

04 May '10

When I tried to save the contents of the page then I am getting the error Error: The text you have submitted is 2,056 kilobytes long, which is longer than the maximum of 2,048 kilobytes. It cannot be saved. Does anybody have an idea how to get rid of it? Do I need to change some setting of mysql or php on the server side?

Sub pages in TOC?
by Giuseppe Briotti 03 May '10

03 May '10

Hi all, in my wiki (vers. 1.13) I have several pages with sub pages. I would like to have a list of subpages in the page TOC, say, for instance: TOC: 1. title 1 1.1. title 2 1.2. title 3 Subpages: this is the first subpage this is the second subpage I made some research via google and on mediawiki site without result, thus I made this by templates but I don't like the result. Is this feature available in the box in any other version of Mediawiki? There is any extension to make this or there are people working on such extension to work with? TIA G. -- Giuseppe Briotti g.briotti(a)gmail.com "Alme Sol, curru nitido diem qui promis et celas aliusque et idem nasceris, possis nihil urbe Roma visere maius." (Orazio)
