Double Space Tables?
by Jerry Van Suchtelen 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

I updated mediawiki (from the trunk) and all of a sudden all of my tables are now double spaced. Prior to the update today, things were fine, but now i dont know whats going on. Did something change or is there a way to turn off this 'feature'?

Custom namespaces and discussion pages
by Snowolf 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I've created some custom namespaced on one of my wikis, Botwiki (previously known as pywikipedia). I've put these lines in my LocalSettings.php file: - --- #Custom namespaces $wgExtraNamespaces = array(100 => "Manual", 101 => "Manual talk", 102 => "Python", 103 => "Python talk", 104 => "Php", 105 => "Php talk", 106 => "Perl", 107 => "Perl talk", 108 => "AWB", 109 => "AWB talk", 110 => "IRC", 111 => "IRC talk", 112 => "Other", 113 => "Other talk" ); $wgContentNamespaces[] = 100; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 102; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 104; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 106; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 108; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 110; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 112; - --- However, I have a big problem: when I go to a page in one of these new namespaces (not the discussion, the main ones), for example http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Perl:Copyright_Violation_Bot , I found the red link to the discussion page. It's right, as there is no discussion page for that article. But if you click on it, it brings you to http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a… correct, of course. But have a look of the article and discussion tabs: they are both red! The first, "article", leads to http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a… when it should lead to http://botwiki.sno.cc/wiki/Perl:Copyright_Violation_Bot and the second, "discussion", leads to http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Talk:Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_… , when it should lead to http://botwiki.sno.cc/w/index.php?title=Perl_talk:Copyright_Violation_Bot&a… . It's the first time I deal with custom namespaces :-( but I have some ideas of what it can be. Can the problem be with the $wgContentNamespaces settings? So it detects everything as ns0? (don't think so). Or can it be the fact that I haven't used an underscore in the $wgExtraNamespaces definition?

How to display wiki formatting as text
by Stephen Berg (Contractor) 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

I'm trying to write a wiki page that will show the contents of a text file containing wiki code. I need it to display the raw text without any changes. I've tried using <nowiki>, but that doesn't work. <pre> only works until it sees the </pre> contained in the text file that I'm trying to post. The file is a bash script that builds a text file to be injected into a locally hosted mediawiki install. I'm trying to document the script within the wiki itself. How can I tell mediawiki to display this text as text, ignore all wiki and html markup? -- Stephen Berg Systems Administrator NRL Code: 7321 Office: 228-688-5738 stephen.berg.ctr(a)nrlssc.navy.mil

Hi, I am thinking of creating another sitenotice at the bottom of the page just above category. All I need is duplicate the sitenotice and create sitenotice1. I can't find where the sitenotice definition code is located. -- PM Poon

Announcing OpenStackManager extension
by Ryan Lane 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

For the past month or so I've been working on an extension to manage OpenStack (Nova), for use on the Wikimedia Foundation's upcoming virtualization cluster: http://ryandlane.com/blog/2011/01/02/building-a-test-and-development-infras… I've gotten to a point where I believe the extension is ready for an initial release. In brief, OpenStack works a lot like EC2, and in fact implements the EC2 API. This extension interacts with the EC2 API and LDAP, to manage a virtual machine infrastructure. It has the following features: * Integrates with the LdapAuthentication extension, and creates user accounts in LDAP upon user creation ** Users created with a posix username, uid, and gid; home directory; openstack credentials; and wiki credentials * Manages most features of OpenStack ** Handles project creation/deletion, and membership ** Handles project and global role membership ** Handles instance creation/deletion ** Handles security group creation/deletion and rule addition/removal ** Handles floating IP address allocation and association with instances ** Handles public SSH key addition/removal from user accounts * Manages DNS via PowerDNS with an LDAP backend ** Handles private DNS for private IP address ranges upon instance creation and deletion ** Handles public DNS for floating IP addresses * Manages Puppet configuration for instances via Puppet with an LDAP backend for nodes The extension was written to handle the case explained in my blog post. It is likely not written in a generic enough way to fit into most existing infrastructures currently. If you'd like to help make the extension more useful for a wider audience, please contact me, send patches, or if you have commit access, make modifications. I have a test/dev environment for this project configured on tesla, if you'd like to work in a pre-configured environment. The extension page is here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenStackManager Respectfully, Ryan Lane

Hi, I have a problem with upgrading my MW. I think that installation process can't upgrade shcema for existing tables. The returned error is really generical: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster(a)viquibalear.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Does somebody know how I can proceed? Thank in advance.
