Hello
I am running mediawiki 1.9.3 and would like to try more
recent version.
Could I install the most recent version of mediawiki (and
leave the old in place) and connect both to the same
database or would this cause problems?
Say the old is installed in
/var/wiki
and the new in
/var/wiki-new
Thanks

Nope, thanks for doing that :)

I threw around some ideas with Jeroen during GSoC this
year, but nothing concrete ever came out of it. It's something
I'd like to see happen (1.18?). Fully optional, of course.

Unless there's another obvious source of this information, I think it
would be useful for folks using the InstantCommons feature to be
included in a public list somewhere -- I just started such a list
here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sites_using_InstantCommons
I think this would help to create more visibility and awareness for
this functionality, and greater sensitivity to accidental breakage.

What is 'here'? You do have to look at the page source (even Firebug
is cheating in the HTML view).
And what is an armored link?

Same as above, 'there' could be anything.
Thanks though.
Hello guys,
I'd like to skin my footer. In particular I want to add an icon right
beside the powered by mediawiki icon as it is done on all wikimedia
projects with their special icon.
How is this exactly done? I read into the manual but didn't find this
information.

I haven't seen details on whether the database has stayed the same, or what
the details of any schema changes may be. If there's a file that calls them
out, please let use know.
If not, the INSTALL, UPGRADE, and RELEASE-NOTES files of the mediawiki
release provide information for upgrading, and they start with "It is
imperative that, prior to attempting an upgrade of the database schema, you
take a complete backup of your wiki database and files and verify it."
That's a pretty good commercial for not doing what you'd like to do and
either moving to another machine (or a virtual machine).
For what it's worth, I needed to change the home directory of one of my
sites. I did what you're asking about, but it was with the same version.

That should work as long as the database structure of the new and old
version is the same

All the math images have a white background. So I changed wgTexvcBackgroundColor to be transparent.
So all the new math renderings are transparent, but the existing ones are still white.
Is there a way to force them to re render, under maintenance or something?
Thanks,
-Adam
Hello Everyone,
I m new to MW. i m trying to create an extra button nearby buttons: save
pages, preview, show changes by making a extension.
i have used the hooks/EditPageBeforeButtons to create an extra button. but
problem is that i don't know how to make this button work. Because when I
click this button, it does the same work like default saving page. I don't
know how to call the other functions if clicked this button. e.g. post data
to a url, running a javascript or any other functions except default saving.
Any examples and tips would be very thankful!
greeting
sitomtom
I have been breaking my head about this.
But when I use the {{filepath:someimage.png|nowiki}} in a page, it
will generate the full URL, but with the colon in the "http://" part
escaped to : . I am passing this URL to a Widget and really need
the exact string to be used in CSS. For now I am simply using a
replace-assign in the Widget to unescape the colon again.
But I noticed that on MediaWiki.org itself the colon doesn't seem to
be escaped. I wonder why it doesn't happen there, but does for me.
Example: http://armeagle.nl/mediawiki/index.php/ColonTest (will not
stay up forever, so the code is below too - though you'll have to
upload or use your own image of course).
Version info:
MediaWiki 1.16.0
PHP 5.2.6-1+lenny8 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.0.51a-24+lenny4-log
Any help is much appreciated,
ArmEagle

<pre>
{{filepath:Pbmap_icons.png|nowiki}}
</pre>
Will generate the following:
<pre>
<p>http://armeagle.nl/mediawiki/images/d/da/Pbmap_icons.png
</p>
</pre>
I expect it not to escape the colon in the url. For some reason this
does not seem to happen on http://www.mediawiki.org/. I am trying to
figure out how I can prevent this from happening.

Actual usage of <nowiki>{{filepath:Pbmap_icons.png|nowiki}}</nowiki>:
{{filepath:Pbmap_icons.png|nowiki}}
