Hi, On my wiki I've seen a lot of users trying to change their username by renaming their user page. What would be the "best" way to hide the "Rename" tab on user pages ? Thank you for any advice. Laurent

CSS I guess.. Using CSS: body.ns-2 #siteSub { display:none; } Add it CSS file and it will remove the move tab.

Write protection during maintenance
by Peter Velan 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

Hello, is there a simple trick to completely "write protect" a wiki? My actual solution: Redirect via webserver to a page with "under construction" info. But preventing page creation and file upload during maintenance looks like a more elegant way. Greetings, Peter

New extension: Approved Revs
by Yaron Koren 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Well, new-ish extension: it was released last week, but version 0.2 was just released, and now it appears to be fairly stable. Approved Revs is meant to be a lightweight alternative to FlaggedRevs, for small- to medium-scale wikis. It lets administrators mark a single revision of a page as approved, and the approved revision is what's shown to users, even when the page is transcluded. You can read more, and download the extension, here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Approved_Revs -Yaron

On distributed version control
by Rob Lanphier 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Hi folks, I saw there was some agitation on IRC about Subversion to Git conversion. I'll put in a +1 for it....for what little MediaWiki development I've done, I've found that it would have been made much much simpler if the main repo was Git/Hg/whatever. A good primer for the Subversion adherents is "Subversion Re-education" from Joel Spolsky: http://hginit.com/00.html Don't pay any attention to the fact that it's talking about Mercurial and is pimping his Mercurial-based product. The same DVCS virtues he extols apply to Git or Bazaar or probably even Darcs. Now, as to *which* DVCS to switch to, here's a pretty persuasive case for Git: http://blog.extracheese.org/2010/05/why-i-switched-to-git-from-mercurial.ht… (...and I say this as someone who has been using Mercurial for the past couple of years) Anyway, I've put all of this in the tracking bug for this: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22596 Rob

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

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
by Michael Lindner - dii 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

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
