Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the responses.
Now there's still quite a bit that I think I'm missing here. My confusion could be a simple matter of being a very new wiki user, and I thank you all for your patience.
That being said, re: rgcjonas's comment:
> Anyway i think the fact that the sidebar doesn't take care of

I see the post on bugzilla, but to be honest I don't know what is meant by 'Patch for trunk'. I see that there's a a bit of code that was added to SkinTemplate.php; does this code fix the external link problem?
and to nakohdo:

> You will need some JavaScript, though.
It looks to me like the nabble thread only discusses centering links and collapsable menus. Is there a bit about external links opening in a new tab, and I'm just missing it?
Thanks again. It's not so easy to parse content posted by experts. :)

Running MediaWiki 1.16 on a RHEL5.x server (PHP 5.1.x.) and am trying
to find the "best" way to handle .docx and other compressed file
formats.
I can of course use $wgVerifyMimeType = false, but I'd rather find a
way to handle this differently.
Is this something that might be handled better if I updated to PHP 5.3
(RHEL5 provides a supported version)? If it relies on the MIME magic
files from the "file" utility still, I'm guessing it still won't
work...
Debug logs show the following:
MimeMagic::__construct: loading mime types from /srv/syswiki.esri.com/wiki/includes/mime.types
MimeMagic::__construct: loading mime info from /srv/syswiki.esri.com/wiki/includes/mime.info

MimeMagic::detectZipType: unable to identify type of ZIP archive
MimeMagic::guessMimeType: final mime type of /tmp/phpESAce0: application/zip
It's somewhat odd that FileInfo isn't being used (I have the extension
installed, showing up in phpInfo() and also $wgLoadFileinfoExtension =
true is set).
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray
Hello All,
I have designed a personal website using Mediawiki 1.17. It's very easy
to create a platform like Wikipedia using mediawiki, but one problem is
SKIN of Mediawiki. It's not as attractive as other wiki themes are. I
have google'd for best skins/Themes for mediawiki, and found some themes
but not satisfied with the end results.
Can anyone suggest some good free/premium skins available?
If not using tailor-made skin, another option left with me is create my
own skin from scratch or extend some basic skin(i.e. MonoBook/Vector).
So in this context How should I proceed? Actually, I have not good
experience with CSS Design and etc.
Thanks,

Hi,
I just upgraded a wiki from 1.10 to 1.16.5. I was previously running
the news extension and downloaded a version of the news extension for
the 1.16 release.
The following appears in my main page (along with other content):
<news limit="20" nominor unique>
* [[{{{pagename}}}]] ([[User:{{{user}}}]], {{{timeanddate}}})
</news>
Under the old 1.10 release, it would display recent changes to the
wiki. Under the 1.16.5 release, I make updates to the wiki, yet the
news extension displays nothing. When I go to the recent changes page,
it displays the changes. Any ideas how to get this working?
Note, I downloaded this extension from
http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:News There appears to be several
similarly named extensions, but this is the one that was previously
working for me. The other ones didn't seem to do quite what I wanted.
Thank You,
Nataraj
You can wrap things in <div class=noprint>...</div>, or define some custom
classes in your MediaWiki:Print.css page and use those.

Dear Heroes of Wiki,
How can I specify parts of a page to be printed? Ideally I would use
<noprint> </noprint> tags or something likewise to sepcify parts I don't
want printed. Is there a way to accomplish this within Wiki?
Thanks in advance

Hi, all!
We recently implemented the LDAP authentication extension: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication
It's working very well, but we now have a couple of folks who work on our campus, but who are not in our group in Active Directory-in fact, two of them are with other schools that share the campus-who would like access to the wiki. Is there a way to mix authentication? We can always make these people sponsored users so that they are added to our group, but I'd prefer a mixed authentication approach.
Thanks in advance!

Im working on the phpbb Single-Signon extension and I wanted to amke it so that users who are moderators are automatically made sysops on the wiki.
Other than modifying the database, is there any way in code to make a user a sysop (without having it done by a bureaucrat)?
