Wiki page without furnishing
by Shawn Devlin 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hello, I have a requirement to display pages as "includes" in pages in another site. I can put the wiki page in an iframe, but I only want to display the content part of the page. 3.3 in the FAQ shows how to suppress displaying non-content on the page, but I only want to suppress that when I do a page include. Any ideas how to do this? -- Shawn W. Devlin

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Best way to hide the "Rename" tab on user pages

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
