MediaWiki Skinning Tutorial
by Daniel Friesen 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

I finally have a tutorial on MediaWiki Skinning for 1.18+ online on Redwerks' Blog. http://blog.redwerks.org/2012/02/08/mediawiki-skinning-tutorial/ The tutorial covers the general conceptual areas of a skin, laying out the files for a skin, all the small boilerplate pieces used to output types of content, an overview of things you should test for in your skin when implemented, a bit on i18n and related info on variants and rtl, and a touch on accessibility. -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name]

I am using SyntaxHighlight 1.0.8.10 (GeSHI 1.0.8) on MediaWiki 1.18.1 Keywords are coloured as they should but no links to the specified URLs are created. How can I enable keyword linking? Thanks, Boris

An Administration Page
by Greg 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

I have been messing with mediawiki 1.18 for a while now. I think what it needs is an administration page. Why is there a reliance on manually editing LocalSettings.php and uploading it to the site? Why is there not an Admin page that edits this online? I would love to implement this but it might just be out of my ability to do so. It is so difficult to understand mediawiki settings and the mediawiki online-help is not very helpful. What do you think? Thank you.

by LibXenon.org Webmaster 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

Hello everybody, Got some problems using templates with mediawiki 1.8.1 - The templates don't show as expected, even if the template code is identical to another wiki where I copied the templates / template-usage from. As I am not sure where the problem is burried exactly I can't provide more information but the following at the time of writing. Free60 is my wiki, Wiibrew is the one with the beloved templates / layouts :) http://wiibrew.org/wiki/WiiBrew:News vs http://free60.org/Free60:News http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Template:Linkbar_homebrew vs http://free60.org/Template:Linkbar_homebrew http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Template:Linkbar vs http://free60.org/Template:Linkbar You can see, the layout isn't identical, the background color of the fields dont show.. and there's no real table etc. Any help would be very appreciated!

Thank you

Hello everyone, My name is Guillaume Beaudoin and I work for a college in the IT department. For a while now I manage a MediaWiki installation to document our work inside the IT department. Today, I was happily surprised by an announcement in our internal corporate newsletter regarding my involved to MediaWiki through the management of our 3rd party wiki. A copy of the article (it's in French) is available at http://wiki-info.bdeb.qc.ca/public/enbref_page2.pdf. I would like to express my thanks to everyone involved in the development of the MediaWiki software platform for creating, improving, correcting, releasing, maintaining it! In particular I want to express special thanks to Reedy and the peoples involved in the database side of MediaWiki for porting the old MSSQL code to the MSSQLBackCompat extension and keeping it working well and to Yaron, Jeroen and the semantic developers for their semantic extensions, in particular the GetData and Semantic Forms extensions. Like it say in the subject this is a thank you message, so, that's all folks :) Guillaume
