Hey,
Product Version
MediaWiki <http://www.mediawiki.org/> 1.17.2
PHP <http://www.php.net/> 5.2.17 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL <http://www.mysql.com/> 5.0.95
My wiki is locked, so that only administrators can create user accounts.
When I click Special Pages - Log in / Create Account - Create an
account, it tries to load the page:
http://www.agriwiki.co.za/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup
but I only get a white page...
Everything else seems to work perfectly. The user account which I log
in, is set as administrator and have all the right to create new
accounts - I've used this many times in the past.
Do anyone have any suggestions for me please?
I've tried to upgrade to version 1.18.1, but I just got a blank page
after the upgrade...so I went back to the previous version... but before
I tried this upgrade, the function to create new accounts didn't work.
Thanks.
Regards,
Sarel

Hi All,
I have QuestyCaptcha working on http://teflpedia.com. However, for
some reason it fails to challenge users on bad login (multiple failed
login attempts is not producing the captcha challenge). In
LocalSettings.php I tried the following settings (from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#Configuration):
$wgCaptchaTriggers['badlogin'] = true;
But that allowed serial bad login attempts without triggering captcha
challenge. So then I tried "false":
$wgCaptchaTriggers['badlogin'] = false;
But that also allowed multiple failed login attempts without
triggering captcha challenge.
Any ideas why bad login attempts are not producing captcha challenge?
Say, I tried multiple (8 or so) bad login attempts on mediawiki.org
just now and then got:
Login error
You have made too many recent login attempts. Please wait before
trying again.
No captcha challenge, just a time out. I like that. Is there an
extension I can install that will do that on my wiki (nothing in
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version seemed obvious to me)?

Before I installed mediawiki we were using moin moin software for wikis. I would like to get rid of moin moin and use only mediawiki. Does anyone know how to migrate a moin moin wiki to mediawiki.
Thanks for any help.

Sooo.
Here we are again, looking at PHP version bumps. Our current minimum version
is 5.2.3, released in June 2009 (5.2.0 was November 2006).
I'm proposing to at least bump to version 5.3.0 (as the minimal), release
back in June 2006. Though a higher point release would be acceptable if
anyone knows of any blocking bugs that were fixed later in the release
series. Obviously, we want to try and use a version that gives both
developers benefits, without hopefully causing most administrators issues
having to manually update PHP etc.
>From terms of version availability, Ubuntu 10.04 (from April 2010) Lucid LTS
gives PHP Version 5.3.2 [1]. From the Wikimedia Foundations setup this means
we are sufficiently ahead that no extra work would be needed looking to
attempt to backport versions. And with 12.04 not long away (granted, we're
not going to be immediately upgrading), which has 5.3.10 (current stable
release) [2].
>From the developers point of view, we get some extras such as Namespace
support, Late static binding among other useful features. I have already
committed some code to our repo as part of AntiSpoof that now has a 5.3
minimal php version. I know there was support from other developers to make
this version bump.
It would be nice to have this change for the 1.20 release cycle if there are
no major reasons not to.
One step closer to 5.4.0 and buh-bye to register_globals and safe_mode!
Thanks

I have had MediaWiki 1.15.5 set up with Math version 1.0 on an OpenBSD 4.8
system for taking notes in my calculus courses for awhile now. I haven't
really had many problems with it, after struggling to get it set up. That
is, of course, until I finally rebooted the machine awhile ago. Now any
time I try to add a new set of LaTeX markup within the <math>...</math>
tags, I get the error that I remember so well from setting this system
up: *Failed
to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex,
dvips, gs, and convert): \int_b^a f(x)dx.*
*
*
This time, of course, it's a little bit more complicated, because each one
of those binaries is exactly where it's supposed to be on my system. I
can't for the life of me figure out what is going on or how to fix this,
and not having my wiki online for taking notes this semester is really
killing me. I can't even find any good log files for more detailed errors.
Of course the system is fine when it's converting some LaTeX that just has
to be changed into an html string, it's only when it's trying to create an
image for it that it fails.
Can anybody give me any suggestions on where to find resources that might
help with this, or has anyone else run into this problem at all? I'm open
to anything I can get, pointers, suggestions, even help with where to find
(or how to find) more detailed logs on the problem. Any help you can offer
is appreciated. If this is off-topic due to it being an issue with an
extension, I'll be happy to move this to an appropriate venue once I find
one.
Thank you.

Hello mediawiki-l,
We've been using MediaWiki 1.15 in our organization for a few months
without categories or custom namespaces. We've finally accumulated
enough articles for patterns to appear and we've decided to begin
organization. I've created some custom namespaces for several
departments but I'm confused on the usage of categories.
My question is, how do you avoid category namespace collisions from
multiple custom namespaces? When I use the [[:Category:foo]] syntax,
the category is created in the Category namespace that is shared among
all namespaces. When I use the [[:namespace:foo]] syntax only a normal
page is created. This presents a problem when two custom namespaces
want to use the same Category title.
Is there a way to accomplish this or will I need to create a separate
installation for each department?

I have Extension:MathJax installed & it tests out to be working
following the instructions in mediawiki. I still have 1 issue though;
Example; If I load up Template:Quantum mechanics which includes the
following :
> {{Sidebar with collapsible lists
> |name = Quantum mechanics
> |bodystyle = width:18.5em;
> |title = [[Quantum mechanics]]
> |image = <hr/><div style="padding:0.35em 0 0.3em;"><math>\Delta x\, \Delta p \ge \frac{\hbar}{2}</math></div>
> |caption = <div style="padding-bottom:0.5em;">[[Uncertainty principle]]</div><hr/>
I get the proper output in the navbox. When that template is transcluded
onto another page I get this error in the navbox:
> Failed to parse (Cannot write to or create math temp directory):
> \Delta x\, \Delta p \ge \frac{\hbar}{2}
>
I notice that the output from the math is supposed to be an image, but
it seems to me that it is 'transcluded' as something else; The page
source output for the navbox is below.
> <table class="vertical-Navbox
> nowraplinks" cellspacing="5"
> style="float: right; clear: right;
> color: black; background: #f9f9f9;

Any suggestions to fix this are appreciated.
Thanks!
