cleaning out a mass of unwanted users
by Boris Epstein 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

Hello everyone, I was careless enough to run a MediaWiki installation allowing people to sign up without a moderator's approval. Hence a few hundred of them did sign up and started to use the site to swap images. How can I delete their accounts in the most expeditious way? Thanks. Boris.

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon. It's 1-3 June and registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with hotel/hostel, just mention it in the registration form. https://wmberlin.eventbrite.com/ This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, and socialising, primarily talking about Gadgets, the switch to Lua, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs. Our goals for the event are to bring 100-150 people together, with lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come! Details: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2012 Thanks to Wikimedia Germany for hosting and coordinating this event.

Header Tabs Extension: Links Non-functional in MW 1.18+
by FFMUX Administrator 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Greetings. I am writing in response to an unanswered question on the Discussion page of the Header Tabs extension page here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Header_Tabs#switchtablink_pars… This issue exists on my installation as well and I am hoping that I might get some developer insight as to why this is occurring and, barring that, at least ensure that you are all aware of the issue. My installation: Mediawiki Version 1.18.1 Header Tabs Version 0.9 Semantic Mediawiki 1.7.0.2 Semantic Drilldown 1.1 Semantic Forms 2.3.2 Semantic Results 1.7.1 ParserFunctions 1.4.0 Skin: GuMadDD Regards.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Cutting MediaWiki loose from wikitext

The "pluggable" part sounds great, as long as it isn't JSON-centric. I could see a need for XML or even SQL adaptors. It would be great if namespaces, subpages, or even regexp title matches could trigger a particular content rendering. For example, I have LOTS of pages that contain identical wikitext in order to access SQL data, using subpages: {{plant used for|{{SUBPAGENAME}}}} This simply fires off an identical template for each subpage, passing in the SUBPAGENAME, which then is used as a query term to display a page of structured data. For example: http://www.EcoReality.org/wiki/Plant_used_for/Adaptogen I've also got LOTS of pages with "{{plant needs|{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}", "{{plant supplies|{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}", etc., not to mention pages like "{{annual harvest for|...}}" and "{{monthly harvest for|...}}". I seem to have LOTS of templates whose name ends with "for" that take one argument and that display data. I've often thought "there should be an easier way..." I played with SMW for a bit, but couldn't easily bend it to my needs. Is this the sort of use you had in mind? ---------------- Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all. -- William Goldman :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op ::::

Extension:GlobalUsage Installation question
by John W. Foster 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Can anyone tell me exactly what I'm supposed to do with line 2. of this set of instructions: Installation 1. Download the extension and unpack it in the extensions directory. 2. Source GlobalUsage.sql: php maintenance/sql.php extensions/GlobalUsage/GlobalUsage.sql Note: do this from the wiki installation where you want the GlobalUsage data to be located. Typically this is your shared image repository. Running update.php on that wiki will also create the table. 3. Edit LocalSettings.php and add to the bottom of the file: require_once( "$IP/extensions/GlobalUsage/GlobalUsage.php" ); 4. In LocalSettings, set $wgGlobalUsageDatabase to the identifier of the wiki where the GlobalUsage data is located (usually the database name). It should be something understandable to wfGetDB. Example: $wgGlobalUsageDatabase = 'commonswiki'; At present, this can NOT be a database name of a wiki, but must be a name given in a load balancer configuration: Manual:$wgLBFactoryConf, a complex and largely undocumented configuration structure used by the WMF and Wikia. For a normal mediawiki setup using multiple databases configuring and maintaining this data structures implies significant difficulties. 5. Run refreshGlobalimagelinks.php on all wikis in your farm. This will take a long time. php extensions/GlobalUsage/refreshGlobalimagelinks.php 6. Visit Special:GlobalUsage and enjoy.

CentralNotice only working on pages without short URLs
by Forest ForTrees 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hello, I do IT for a nonprofit that runs a specialized MediaWiki wiki for people with chronic pain. It's our main project, and we'd like to use CentralNotice on it because of several features that make it superior to SiteNotice for our use. I've installed it and set up a test banner and a campaign. Interestingly, the test notice doesn't appear when you access a page via the short URL, but does appear when you access it through the long URL. For example, the SiteNotice currently is set to display the phrase, "For testing purposes only: CentralNotice is working." You will only see that phrase if you navigate to the first of the following two links: http://www.tmswiki.org/w/index.php?title=The_Tension_Myositis_Syndrome_Wiki http://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/The_Tension_Myositis_Syndrome_Wiki Theoretically, the above two URLs refer to the same resource. We used the "Recommended how-to guide (setup used on Wikipedia)" method for setting up Short URLs. The key line, in httpd.conf, is Alias /ppd /home/ptpn/public_html/w/index.php Many thanks for any help you can offer. We're very eager to get this set up. Forest Resources: http://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Special:CentralNotice http://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Special:Version (v. 1.18. CentralNotice was installed from 1.18 version today)

wiki auxiliary: for files you cannot upload to Mediawiki
by Haim (Howard) Roman 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

There are file types that Mediawiki doesn't allow you to upload, including Office (MS & Open) documents. Therefore, we have what I call an "auxiliary" storage, where people can download a copy via the web. Currently, I simply move files to a UNIX web server via UNIX CLI (scp, mkdir, chmod, etc.). I'd like a simpler method; one that even our MS sysadmins could use. *Anyone have any suggestions? * I was thinking of using our internal SVN repository for this. We can download via this repository's web interface, but cannot upload, update, etc. I've been playing with RapidSVN, and its easier than using CLI commands, but I have not found it very intuitve (maybe because I'm not so fluent in SVN terminology). I think I prefer a web app to allow people to upload to the SVN via their browsers. But, it doesn't have to be SVN, if I hear of something better.
