Re: [Mediawiki-l] [Semediawiki-user] Improved speed for loading pages in SMW sites
by Jeroen De Dauw 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hey, > Are there ways to speed up the page load time? Not mentioned in the stuff liked by people so far, but highly relevant: Get MediaWiki 1.17 or later when using older versions, so you get all the wins from the Resource Loader: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Resource_loader Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw http://www.bn2vs.com Don't panic. Don't be evil. --

by Sumana Harihareswara 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

If you're going to a conference, here's a leaflet you can print and give out to encourage people to contribute to MediaWiki: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:MediaWiki_flyer_20110725-1.pdf Also, if you'd like to teach a two-hour "How to customize/hack MediaWiki" workshop at some upcoming conference, unconference, barcamp, whatever, I can help you out. Guillaume Paumier and I are turning http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker/Workshop into a syllabus that anyone can teach. Some upcoming conferences where we could recruit more testers, users, and developers: * Ubuntu Global Jam, 2-4 Sept., 42 events around the world https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam * Open Video Conference, especially the open media developers' track, Sept. 10-12, New York City, USA http://openvideoconference.org/ * ZendCon (PHP conference), Oct. 17-20, Santa Clara, USA http://www.zendcon.com/ * PostgreSQL Europe, Oct. 18-21, Amsterdam, The Netherlands http://2011.pgconf.eu * PHPCon Poland, Oct. 21-23, http://www.phpcon.pl/ Wikia's Łukasz Garczewski is attending and giving the talk "Do you speak English, yes I don't" and will help me out, but more help is welcome. If you are going to one of those and you'd like Wikimedia stickers or buttons to pass out, please let me know. -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation

Lucene Search
by James King 20 Aug '11

20 Aug '11

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could point me to an init.d script for Ubuntu 11 for starting the Lucene-search extension daemon at boot. We're prototyping a wiki for use, and we're not quite sure how best to proceed. My apologies if this isn't the best forum for this, my searches elsewhere haven't turned up much. Thanks!

After upgrade to 1.17 problems with templates with german umlauts
by Norbert Schneider 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi, after upgrade from 1.16.5 to 1.17.0 all my entries based on templates with german umlauts disappeared. Example: Template:Täglich is changed to Template:TÃ¤glich I can't find the reason. Database link problem? Database table templatelinks is unchanged. In the editor the entry {{Template:Täglich}} is displayed correctly. Produkt Version MediaWiki 1.17.0 PHP 5.3.3 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.1.52 Centos 5.6 Many thanks for your help. Norbert

I was trying to know which templates can have that sort of layout, just trying to categorize templates on basis of its feature or purpose.

Question about Infobox and Navbox
by priyank bagrecha 17 Aug '11

The boxes that are on a wikipedia-page on the top right hand corner generally, as I have seen are created by using templates Infobox or Navbox. Are there any other templates which can result in such a box? Thanks Priyank

Different URL path for different namespace?
by Dorem - Jérémie Bouillon 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Kind of a newbie question... I'm not even sure of the appropriate taxonomy for my request, maybe that's why Google didn't help. Using last stable (1.16.2 I believe), I'm trying to achieve this: Got a default setup, Mediawiki installed in /w, Apache conf edited with an Alias. So now my wiki is accessible at http://domain.tld/wiki/ I would like to link a specific namespace (let's say "bar") to its own URL, outside of /foo/. Ok, to rephrase, hopefully better: I would like: domain.tld/wiki/Bar:SomePage to be in fact: domain.tld/Bar/SomePage And if Apache could rewrite on the client side /wiki/Bar:SomePage into /Bar/SomePage that would be even better, albeit not a deal breaker. Without breaking anything in MW of course. And if the Recent or Search tool return the Bar:SomePage that's not an issue, I don't want to rewrite the MW core :) Anyone got an idea?
