Hello,
after upgrade from 19.0 to 1.20 I tried to move Vector
and WikiEditor from Extension:UsabilityInitiative
to Extension:Vector resp. Extension:WikiEditor. I
started with WikiEditor ... and failed :-(
- downloaded last version of Extension:WikiEditor
- stored it in extension/WikiEditor
- set up LocalSettings.php [1]
=> no WikiEditor at all
Going back to the older version under
extension/UsabilityInitiative/WikiEditor
=> WikiEditor works as expected
---
[1]
require_once( "$IP/extensions/WikiEditor/WikiEditor.php" );
# enable WikiEditor by default, allow users to disable it
$wgDefaultUserOptions['usebetatoolbar'] = 1;
$wgDefaultUserOptions['usebetatoolbar-cgd'] = 1;
# Displays the Preview and Changes tabs
$wgDefaultUserOptions['wikieditor-preview'] = 1;
# Displays the Publish and Cancel buttons on the top right side
$wgDefaultUserOptions['wikieditor-publish'] = 1;
# Displays a navigation column (summary) on the right side
$wgDefaultUserOptions['usenavigabletoc'] = 1;
TIA for any helpfull hints.

So when you click the internal link button on media wikis it pastes in
[[link title]]
Which I interpret to mean [[<internal link> <title for your link>]] But
the syntax for this is is actually [[<internal link>|<title for your
link>]]
I reckon it should say [[<link title>]] rather than [[link title]].
Because as it stands it is not consistent with what the external link
button offers up. which is [http://www.example.com link title] So for
consistency the external link one could actually be
[<http://www.example.com> <link title>]
or maybe [http://www.example.com LinkTitle] and [[LinkTitle]]
I have had many a frustrating moment getting my internal links to
display properly when I followed the suggestion offered up by the
button. Consider changing this in media wiki.
PS I use the userbase.kde.org wiki
Hi,
Wouldn't it be great if Table of Contents (TOC) _numbering_ were a
user preference, right along with Section Heading numbering?
It could be next to:
My preferences > Appearance > Advanced options: [ ] Auto-number headings
as:
My preferences > Appearance > Advanced options: [ ] Auto-number table
of contents
Wouldn't it be even greater if there was a $wgTOCnumbering variable in
LocalSettings.php that could be set to "false" to make no TOC
numbering the default?
Currently the TOC numbering can be _hidden_ with this CSS in Common.css[1]:
/* Suppress numbering of items in TOC */
.tocnumber { display: none; }
I am tired of all the TOC numbering on Wikipedia. Am I alone? Yes I
can put the CSS to suppress TOC numbering into my own user's CSS
(User:Myusername/common.css), but most _readers_ of Wikipedia,
including me, are usually not logged in when they read.
It was easy to get Wikivoyage (now a Wikimedia Foundation wiki)
changed over to numberless TOC. I just suggested it on
http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Travellers%27_pub#Article_Table_of…
and an Admin did it. Wow! That's the wiki culture I love. Can do.
Thoughts?

Hello everyone,
I'm using templates passed as arguments to other templates.
I would like to know if I can have access to the attributes of the template
passed, in the outter template.
Thanks in advance,
Marcelo.
Hello everyone,
Im using templates, which receives 4 parameters: "p1", "p2", "p3" and "p4".
I need to put some text only if "p2" and "p4" exists.
I've already tried this
{{#if: {{{p1|}}} or {{{p2|}}} | MY_TEXT }}
but it doesn't work. I seems that this kind of condition on a template
argument only works when asking by only one argument, but im not entirely
sure.
I tried ask for the differente arguments in differents "#if:" and it works,
but I really don't like it. Something like this:
{{#if: {{{p1|}}} |
{{#if: {{{p2|}}} | MY_TEXT }}
}}
Is there some better way to do it?
I've been searching the documentation, but couldn't find anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Marcelo.
Hi all,
Every wiki has got a sidebar. In this sidebar you can put fixed elements like “TOOLBOX” in. But this only stands for some other pages – e. g. “TOOLBOX” for “Special pages” or “Permanent link” and some others. But how can I edit what e. g. “TOOLBOX” stands for? How can I determine that e. g. “TOOLBOX” is replaced by “Most popular articles” and “Wiki help”?
Greetings,
GIC
Just hit the same problem here. The solution was to apply
the mediawiki-i18n-1.20.0.patch.gz patch. Actually, I was a version or two
behind on i18n patches so I managed to work around it by just copying over
the entire languages/messages folder from a freshly unpacked tarball of
1.20. Hope this helps!

Hi there,
does anyone know a effective way to put all articles belonging to a certain category into my watch list? (without access to the servers command line)
Solutions for a one time action (to take effect on all articles just know categorized) or dynamic configuration (taking effect on later categorized articles as well) would be great!
Thx,
Uwe (Baumbach)

Thanks! It seems to be a very useful way of having static page names invoke dynamic content.
I'm going to try the template work-around that Jamie Thingelstad posted.
