I recently tried to upgrade my wiki from 1.15 to 1.16. After I copied the files to the server, I get a 500 Server error. Any ideas on what to do to fix it?
MediaWiki seems to still include the default notice:
"WARNING: This page is XX kilobytes long; some browsers may have
problems editing pages approaching or longer than 32kb. Please
consider breaking the page into smaller sections."
I understand this was in place for the last few Netscape 4 users in
the world. Are there still browsers known to have trouble with editing
32KB pages? Perhaps some of those wonderful phone browsers that give
us all such joy. What sort of size limit is there in practice these
days?
(I personally like keeping pages under 32KB for stylistic reasons, but
that's just me.)

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to find out how many internal links are in use inside my wiki.
Is there an extension that does that kind of "statistics"?
Alternatively I'm looking for a way to search inside the wiki-text for
occurrences of "[[" (or other special syntaxes). Perhaps I can search directly
in the database, but I'm not sure in which table I'd have to look.
I'm using mediawiki 1.15.1
Thanks!

I'm not quite sure how to do this. I'd like to write a section of text
and be able to tag it so I can insert it as is in any other area of my
wiki. Does this require an extension?
How would one automatically collapse a page TOC in the event of a NavFrame
or collapsibleTable expansion, such as by adding an option to the
MediaWiki:Common.js ?
This might be useful where there is a long TOC that shares the page position
of the NavFrame or collapsible table whose expansion moves its content below
the window view because of the TOC size.

I played around with trying to manually upload images and documents (like pdf’s) to my wiki server and referencing them like so: [[media:example.pdf]]
I could not for the life of me figure out that directory is was looking for these in.. When I enabled file uploads and uploaded a file that way, it would then resolve correctly.
Can you manually upload content and if so, what directory does it look in?
Thx,
CC
I have this custom special page
http://wiki.bildr.org/index.php/Special:TagSearch
But look at the title header on the page. Why is it <tagsearch> ?
I know that means <tagsearch> - But why would the page be called that either? It should be Special:TagSearch or just TagSearch
I checked all my code, and I cant find any reference to that or <tagsearch>
Thanks

Teammates,
I recently upgraded from MediaWiki 1.11.0 to MediaWiki 1.15.3.
There were a couple of pages before the upgrade which were protected, and now I
find I am unable to un-protect them. I am a sysop and a bureaucrat.
The error message is:
"You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason: You cannot change the protection levels of this page, because you do not have permission to edit it."
Do you have any suggestions ? And/or do you know how I could do it via MySQL ?
Thank you,
Lori
Hello,
I hope somebody can help me, I'm trying to install CentralAuth on my
wikifarm but I get a strange error and I don't know what I'm missing...
My testsetup contains 4 databases so I made the conf:
$wgLocalDatabases = array(
'wikiweet',
'llamada_intern',
'wikiweet_intern',
'llamada',
'wikiweet_recepten',
);
$wgConf->wikis = $wgLocalDatabases;
$wgConf->suffixes = $wgLocalDatabases;
$wgConf->siteParamsCallback = 'efGetSiteParams';
$wgConf->extractAllGlobals( $wgDBname );
the last lines of my localsettings.php are;
require_once ("/home/CentralAuth/CentralAuth.php");
$wgCentralAuthDatabase = 'shared';
When I try to run:
migratePass0.php<http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CentralAuth/mig…>or
migratePass1.php<http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/CentralAuth/mig…>
I get this error:
CentralAuth migration pass 1:
Finding accounts which can be migrated without interaction...
Er is een syntaxisfout in het databaseverzoek opgetreden.
Het laatste verzoek aan de database was:
âSELECT
user_id,user_email,user_email_authenticated,user_password,user_editcount
FROM `user` WHERE user_name = 'A verspuy' LIMIT 1 â
CentralAuthUser::localUserDataâ
De database gaf de volgende foutmelding:
â1146: Table 'wikiweet.user' doesn't exist (localhost)â
When I try to use special:MergeAccount
I also got the error that Table wikiweet.user doesn't exist
All databases are localhost, and have the prefix mw_ and I'm sure all
databases contain a user table.
I run the trunk version of mediawiki.
Can somebody give advice?

I need a way to get the user's name and password to obtain an "edit"
token to use with api.php for a form that will be a special page in an
extension.* I'm doing this as a volunteer for the FSF, so any advice
would be much appreciated ;)
I'm not much with php, but I tried testing this based on what I could
glean from Manual:Special_pages and includes/User.php:
function execute($par) {
global $wgOut, $wgUser;
$tmp = $wgUser->mCacheVars['mName'];
$wgOut->addWikiText("$tmp");
}
However, this results in:
Undefined property: User::$mCacheVars
in /usr/share/mediawiki/extensions/TestExt/TestExt_body.php on line 12
Ie, I seem unable to access any of the variable or functions that are
part of User although the User object is recognized. What am I doing
wrong?
* further clarification: the extension needs to include a special page
for adding new pages to the wiki (the pages have a fairly complex
format including Semantic mark-up that the user should not need to
understand) but these need to be 1) restricted to privileged users, 2)
be added via the special page/form->api.php including the real,
specific user who added the page.
