Migrate Templates and Extensions from one wiki to another
by mathias.hoertnagl＠sti2.at 01 Jul '10

Hi there, this question sure was posted a 1000 times before, but... How do i get all Templates and Extensions from e.g Wikipedia into my own Wiki? Since I needed a copy of some of Wikipedia's articles as a presentation for my own wiki, I need those templates and extensions as well. Do I have to copy them all seperately? Or might there be an easy way? Cheers, Mathias

linking local content

Hi List, this is my first posting into this mailinglist, so please excuse me if I am doing sth wrong. I am maintaining an company-wide, internaly used mediawiki installation (Version 1.12). Now, the users of this list have asked me how to link into localy saved documents, stored on a server-system. I know, this is not the normal way of doing things, but my colleagues asked me to do so as they don't want to turn the documents into html or anything, just linking them so they open (Rules for Firefox / Internet Explorer apply). Additionaly I can't force them into typing wiki-code itself, so we're using the TinyMCE Plugin to edit content. Problem: all the links to be made will contain "space" characters, so a path will look like this: file:\\srv1\Resources & Databases\WIKI development\used\*.odt. There is no way to replace the backspace characters on the server itself... I tried the extensions I found on this topic, (for example http://www.easy-coding.de/mediawiki-filelinkextension-t1475.html), but they did not work. Are there any other extensions recommended, any hints? Otherwise I am stuck in this mediawiki project unfortunatly. Kind Regards, Michael

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.

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. About this message. This message is posted to the list once per week by <river(a)wikimedia.org>.
