DPL redux?
by Richard 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Hi, I recall seeing a conversation on this list recently about the supposed security risk with the DPL extension. Did we ever bottom out to a conclusion on that? I wanted to install this extension, but the security warnings on the page on the main mediawiki site scared me off installing it, particularly since my browser warned me of content on the DPL home page site when I examined it.

removing support for older MediaWiki skins (Legacy skins Nostalgia, Simple, MySkin, and Standard)
by Sumana Harihareswara 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/25170/ is a MediaWiki change that's under discussion right now; it would completely remove all core skins other than Monobook, Modern, CologneBlue & Vector. I thought you might be interested in reading or weighing in on this discussion. Anyone with Developer Access can comment in Gerrit -- for an account, just ask at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access . Some more resources to look at, linked in the Gerrit comments: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_skins_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_reports/User_preferences#S… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Dantman/Skinning_system/Skin_examination Sometimes we have to shed some backwards compatibility. And it sounds like removing support for these particular skins will enable us to innovate and move faster. But it's a good idea to publicize this sort of thing so legacy skin users can say "I'll maintain the legacy support because I love this skin so much!", or prepare to reskin, or find some new third way. :-) Also, thanks to MatmaRex who has taken this opportunity to refactor the CologneBlue skin. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation

Seems you have a problem with php.ini configuration there. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

How does MediaWiki handle "duplicates"?
by thorsopia＠lavabit.com 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hello, How does MediaWiki handle "duplicates"? For example, there are two programmers and they have identical names (e.g. John Doe). I'd like to know how this will be represented in URIs and stored in a database.

cleaning out a mass of unwanted users
by Boris Epstein 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

Hello everyone, I was careless enough to run a MediaWiki installation allowing people to sign up without a moderator's approval. Hence a few hundred of them did sign up and started to use the site to swap images. How can I delete their accounts in the most expeditious way? Thanks. Boris.

CAS Authentication problem
by Truong Hoang Dung (TTTV.ICT) 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

We're using MediaWiki 1.19 (latest version) and we've integrated CAS Authentication (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CASAuthentication) to enable Single Sign On over our systems. There are 2 problems here: If we use Chrome browser, we can successfully use Single Sign On feature. if we use Firefox, Internet Explorer, If we're logged in in mediawiki (using CAS), we still have to log in again on other service (NOT SINGLE SIGN ON), but if firstly we logged in on other services, then mediawiki automatically single sign on. I don't know if it's whether error from mediawiki or browser ? Thank you for reading.
