"Category: Noindexed pages" puzzle
by Anne Wilson 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Mediawiki version - 1.16.0 (r74364) I have been running some experiments in moving pages to a newly created Archive namespace. I created some test pages and moved two with redirects and two without redirects, so that I could look for unwanted side-effects. I also marked those four pages with __NOINDEX__. Up to that point everything seemed fine. A new category was automatically created - Noindexed_pages. All four of the pages now in the Archive namespace bear a link to that category, yet when I use the link I find that only one of the four pages is listed. Is this a bug, or have I missed something important? Anne -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

Page created on xx.xx.xxx date in the footer
by uv22e Alcott 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hello, as a researcher, i am wondering if it is possible to add a little note into my wiki like "this page was created on 10.01.2011" This would be some very interesting feature. I know I see it also in the history but as i use my wiki as a personal website, i did turn the history off. Any help is highly appreciated :)

updateBannedIPs.sh
by Klaus Becker 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Hi, I try to use updateBannedIPs.sh on http://c2ilibre.free.fr, as described at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam. I added the line "require_once("$IP/extensions/bannedips.php");" to "LocalSettings.php", and I put "bannedips.php" and "updateBannedIPs.sh" into the folder "extensions". "updateBannedIPs.sh" has the rights 644, and I cannot change at. "updateBannedIPs.sh" works on my computer, but how to run it on the web? When I indicate the adress "http://c2ilibre.free.fr/extensions/updateBannedIPs.sh" in firefox, it will download the file. I use Debian/Linux. For the moment, my wiki says: "0.0.0.0,0.0.3.0,0.2.0.0,1.0.0.0,1.1.1.1,1.1.2.3,1.186.6.110,...... Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /mnt/142/sda/5/a/c2ilibre/extensions/bannedips.php:1) in /mnt/142/sda/5/a/c2ilibre/includes/WebResponse.php on line 16 greetings Klaus

ConfirmEdit
by Klaus Becker 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Hi, I installed ConfirmEdit as described at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit. I copied ConfirmEdit to /extensions and I added require_once( "$IP/extensions/ConfirmEdit/ConfirmEdit.php" ) at the end of LocalSettings.php. At http://c2ilibre.free.fr, I used ConfirmEdit 1.1.15 and at http://linuxlea.free.fr/linux/wiki, I used ConfirmEdit 1.1.16 corresponding to the running Mediawiki version on each site. But when I try to test it by editing a page, there is no captcha on both sites. What's wrong ? greetings Klaus

Upgrade from 1.5.4
by David Bamberger 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Hey there, all. I'm starting to investigate migrating a mediawiki instance from Fedora 7 and version 1.5.4/PHP 5.2.2/MySQL 5.0.37 to something a little more current. Naturally I'm almost a complete novice with wiki software so I'd like some ideas for where to begin my study. I'll be working through the current documentation and other thoughts are welcome. Regards. dbam

extensions for mass remove and edit
by Yury Katkov 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Hello everyone! Does anybody knows if the extension(s) with the following functions exists? 1) Move many pages prom one Category to another. Nowadays I use regex extensions for that - those are not so handy :( 2) Block several thousands of smap users and pages they've created? Extension:Nuke is fine if only one user created many smap pages, but usually spammers create many accounts. Thank a lot! -- Yury V.

Can't create new pages
by Gustaf Josefsson 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Hello! I just installed mediawiki on a new site. I've used it on other servers before and never encountered this problem. For some reason, i get "Error 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED): Unknown error.", when i try to enter a new url (/index.php?title=asd). This seem to be similar to the problem described here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:Starting_a_new_page#Page_Not_Found_… I cannot for the life of me figured out what the problem is. I reinstalled from scratch, without any customizations, so this has to be a server config problem. It's not my server, but my guess it that it probably something I can fix by changing some php option in my .htaccess. Anyone have a good idea?

Hi, I just created a new wiki at http://linuxlea.free.fr/linux/wiki. Is seems to work, but I can't create an account. Error message is "Login error There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again." Of course I tried to do that, but it does not work. It also tells me : "You must have cookies enabled to log in to Linuxlea." But in Firefox 3.6.3 under Debian Squeeze, there is no option for cookies in privacy tab. So I tried with Konqueror, cookies enabled, but I obtain the same error message. cheers Klaus
