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:Randomhttp://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....

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?

Subject: MediaWiki Groups are official: start your own!

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 -

Thanks, Platonides! You were totally right.

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

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

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.
