Strange Squid and Special:Random Issue
by Dave Humphrey 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

A strange issue we've just noticed between Special:Random and Squid, at least so it appears. When accessed directly from the Apache server the Special:Random works fine but when accessed through Squid we get a blank page (500 error). Works: http://content1.uesp.net/wiki/Special:Random http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Special:Random? http://uesp.net/wiki/Special:Random (? see below) Doesn't Work: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Special:Random (how it is usually accessed) Purging the page from Squid does nothing and it doesn't appear to be a local client cache issue. The strange thing is when accessing " www.uesp.net/wiki/Special:Random" through Squid it results in a TCP_NEGATIVE_HIT/500 but through "uesp.net/wiki/Special:Random" gives the expected TCP_MISS/302. Both domains resolve to the same IP (the Squid box) and aren't handled any differently (that I know of anyways). Thoughts on what I'm missing are welcome.... -- Dave Humphrey -- dave(a)uesp.net Founder/Server Admin of the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages -- www.uesp.net

Images and MediaWiki
by Wjhonson 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

I have my own copy of the MediaWiki software running my own website. Do I *need* to upload images in order to have a jpg appear on a page in my wiki, or can I link to a remote image and have it appear? If I can link to a remote image, how do I do that? Does someone have an example syntax?

fyi -------- Original Message -------- Subject: MediaWiki Groups are official: start your own! Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:14:39 -0800 From: Quim Gil <qgil(a)wikimedia.org> Organization: Wikimedia Foundation To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> MediaWiki Groups are now official - and recognized by the Wikimedia Affiliations Committee: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Groups/ Who wants to start one? I just created https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Groups/Proposals/San_Francisco as a real test of the process and a real example of a local group. Other local groups are welcome. If you are in San Francisco and you want to be part of this group add yourself to that page. Any ideas welcome! Looking at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events there are some local groups especially welcomed: * Amsterdam * Bangalore * Berlin * Brussels * Buenos Aires * Chennai * Cologne * Hong Kong * Los Angeles * Paris * Pune * San Diego * Tel Aviv * Washington DC ... and wherever you are sitting now. :) The gates for topical groups are also open. I will start pushing one about Testing / QA, also to test the process with a real example. More proposals? Thank you to all the people that provided feedback about the MediaWiki Groups proposal and especially to * Federico Leva (alias Nemo), who was especially helpful with his close marking and attention to detail - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Nemo_bis * Bence Damokos was a perfect Affiliations Committee chair and helped fine tuning the proposal to make it fit with the Wikimedia User Groups - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Bdamokos -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil

Custom namespace aliases
by Mlpearc 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

I have created a custom namespace for music pages and have the following configurations in LocalSettings.php define("NS_MUSIC", 200); define("NS_MUSIC_TALK", 201); $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_MUSIC] = "Music"; $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_MUSIC_TALK] = "Music_talk"; $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_MUSIC] = array( 'editmusic' ); $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MUSIC] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['editmusic'] = true; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 200; And.... /* Namespace shortcuts */ $wgNamespaceAliases = array( 'MU' => NS_MUSIC, 'MUT' => NS_MUSIC_TALK, ); Typing: "mu:Song" in the search box does not bring " *Create the page " Music:Song" on this wiki! "* also "[[mu:Song|Song]]" in prose does not work. Is there a special way to configure the namespace nicks for custom namespaces ? or do I have something config'd wrong ? Any insight would be appreciated Thanx *Mlpearc* Founder Everything Food & Drink.org everythingfoodanddrink.org<http://www.everythingfoodanddrink.org/w/index.php/Main_Page> Phone: 760-718-1290

by Al Johnson 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Is there a way to change the page title to something other than the default WITHOUT changing the URL to the page? IOW, I want to make the page title editable and the link to the page before the edit to still work. Possible? Thanks, Al

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Older Versions of the DumpHTML Extension

On Wed, 5 Dec 2012 22:49:49 -0500, Benjamin Lees wrote in response to a request re: DumpHTML for MediaWiki 1.5 > https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_15/extensions/Dum… Benjamin, thanks for the fast response! Still learning Subversion (:-). I managed to get DumpHTML working on one of my own MediaWiki sites. Lots of issues with PHP Safe Mode, still a few problems with incorrect arguments to the copy() function, but the static copy looks very good, including files protected by img_auth.php. So far, the only problem I have seen is that publicly readable files linked off the home page were copied into the correct folder under 'images' but the static link to the file was incorrect (URL is of the form "../../../../images/" which works for HTML in the 'articles' folder but not the 'index.html' in the root folder.
