mediawiki+db, where is the information saved
by Uwe Brauer 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello I am now really puzzled, in order to understand where mediawiki saves its information I resintalled a new mediawiki and connected it to new mysql data base. I just created on new page, called it seminar and wrote a sentence then saved the new page. When I looked in /var/lib/mysql/maqwiki The only files with the relevant dates where searchindex.MYD searchindex.MYI The other files of the database where not touched. Then I have a simple question if all relevant information is saved in these files could I not just simply shutdown the server replace these two pages (by one of a different data base) restart the server I did this but the nothing happened. That is I only see this new page with its content, which makes me think that the information is save in some other place but where?????? Uwe Brauer

Hidden Images
by mrthetooth 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

I have created an Unpublished namespace on my wiki that is viewable only to certain users. The goal of this namespace is to have a place to create articles, so that I can time their release at which time I move the pages to the main namespace. So far this works well, except with images, which are of course in the special File namespace. So basically, is there a way I can keep certain uploaded images hidden as well until I'm ready to release the article? I'd like something simple, I'm assuming with an extension.

I might need a hand the day before (I will be driving up the 21st) to help me get things organized and ready for everyone's arrival on the 22nd. -Chad

MOWES
by Steve VanSlyck 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

I'm looking at MOWES for an install package and I note that the default directory for mediawiki is "mediawiki" instead of just "wiki." Anyone know how complicated in might be to change this? Do I need do anything other than change the directory name and then edit LocalSetting.php?

when is a db corrupt for mediawiki
by Uwe Brauer 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hello I have not been successful so far in restoring the data of the crashed harddisk. When I re install mediawiki and connect it to the db from the crash, the installation goes smooth, but then the wiki just shows pages as if the database very new and empty. The database in question (mysql) contains information only in the searchindex.MYD and searchindex.MYI but not as in other wikis I generate files like text.MYD etc. Is this a sign that the db was damaged during the crash of the Mac? If so I give up. Thanks Uwe Brauer

Hello guys, I want to set the correct timezone for my wiki as all logs are two hours behind. So I declared the following in LocalSettings but there's no change. # Set the correct timezone $wgLocaltimezone = "Europe/Berlin"; $oldtz = getenv("TZ"); putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone"); I took the information from here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Timezone How can I set the correct timezone for Europe/Berlin? --robert

Important MediaWiki-related announcements (such as new versions) are also posted to this list. Other resources. If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to mediawiki-announce[1] instead. MediaWiki development discussion, and all Wikimedia technical questions, should be directed to the wikitech-l[2] mailing list. Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist: - mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions, - mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise, - mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subversion repository, - mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support, - wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker. List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives). To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [12]. Archives of previous postings can be found at [3]. This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to read and post to the list. Posting to the list. Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10].

Please try to ask your question in a way that enables people to answer you. Provide all relevant details, explain your problem clearly, etc. You may wish to read [13], which explains how to ask questions well. 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.

Links to subsections
by mediawiki-l.neophyte_rep＠ordinaryamerican.net 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

I have a section/subsections structure like this: =Section 1= ==Subsection 1== ==Subsection 2== =Section 2= ==Subsection 1== ==Subsection 2== The string "Subsection 1" is purposely used twice, as is the string "Subsection 2". I want to refer from Section 1/Subsection 2 to Section 1/Subsection 1. I also want to refer from Section 2/Subsection 2 to Section 2/Subsection 1. There are, of course, more than Section 1 and Section 2 in the wiki page. In fact, I would like to be able to add, move, and remove Sections and have the references still link properly. There will always be a Subsection 1 and a Subsection 2 in each section with a link from the second to the first. Can this be accomplished in Wiki syntax?

How would you advise doing this? http://www.wikipedia.org is doing this calling search-redirect.php. I don't have this script availaible in my 1.15 copy. Any pointer about where to find it? Many thanks hka.
