19 Apr '12

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. (Venue still to be determined.) -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation

External Auth Login with OTP
by Tobias Langensiepen 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hello, i have set up mediawiki on debian. Everything works fine so far. Now i want to add an external auth. so that only i can register users and they must auth against my mysql. and it should include one time password. Add the lines to make mediawiki only visiable for loggt in users and that only i can create acc was no problem. i google a lot and find some interesting results, but none of them works for me. http://www.raskas.be/blog/2006/11/17/mediawiki-remote-user-authentication/ http://current.workingdirectory.net/posts/2007/333/ are my best matches, but i dont understand all.... can someone help me with this, give me the hint for the right way? Many thanks for everything that can help me, Tobias Hallo zusammen, ich suche etwas Hilfe. Ich habe eine mediawiki auf debian laufen, funktioniert auch so weit alles sehr gut. Zugangsrechte beschränkt und nur für den innerbetrieblichen Gebrauch. So nun würde ich aber gerne die Anmeldung noch über eine mysql Datenbank realisieren und das am besten noch durch 2 Anmeldebildschirme, wobei einer durch ein One Time Password welches per mail oder später auch per sms verschickt werden soll, gesichert ist. Ich habe so was testweise auch schon realisiert mit Hilfe von verschiedenen Skripten aus dem iNet, leider aber nicht im Zusammenhang mit Mediawiki, vielleicht hat jemand Erfahrungen damit und kann mir diesbezüglich helfen? Bin für jeden Hinweis, stoß in eine brauchbare Richtung dankbar! Danke für jede Hilfe, Tobias

I've looked around but it's not obvious if there is a way to correctly rename namespaces. Specifically, a project namespace. I know about Aliases and Custom namespaces but i've a Project namespace I'd like to rename. Thanks, Chris
