As Sysop, User right management problem for custom namespace when moving a page
by HiddenId 07 May '12

07 May '12

Hello all. Our problem is this: a user "U1", having permission for a namespace "N1", bellonging to a group "G1" and having edit a page "N1:PAGE1" can not move a page from the custom namespace "N1" to a custom namespace "N2", after we (as sysop) indicate across user right management, that this user "U1" is a member of the group "G2" allowed to "play" in this custom namepace "N2". When we go in user right management, checking "U1" rights, we see that a sentence indicates "U1" bellongs to "G2", "G1", "user", "emailconfirmed", and to "autoconfirmed" groups. BUT: the boxes are not marked for "G2" and "G1". You will find bellow the code for our permissions and namespace settings. What did we wrong ? Thanks a lot for your help. We are blocked with this.

protect images and pdfs
by Scheid, Bernhard 05 May '12

05 May '12

I am running a semi-public Wiki where some pages are reserved for internal use (basically for copy-right reasons). While I can restrict access to the respective wiki articles (using user groups and user rights), the same seems not possible for pure image links (addressing the image, not the file page) or pdf-links respectively. Is there a way to prohibit access to images and pdfs either? Bernhard

Re: [Mediawiki-l] [MediaWiki-announce] MediaWiki 1.19.0 released
by Mikael Rönnbäck 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi I just wanted to send a small thanks for "finally" solving the web upgrader problem for us with hosting services and no shell access. Upgrading from MediaWiki 1.17 to 1.19 worked like a dream even via the web upgrader, in all previous versions this used to be (at least for me) a lengthy technical nightmare of digging through misc articles and helpfiles and then some trial and error on top of that, now I just had to make some minor tweaks to the LocalSettings.php when advised by the upgrade process and then everything was in place. I'm still pleasantly surprised, almost chocked even. Or, in short, thanks :-) Best regards Mikael Rönnbäck _____________________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-announce-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-announce-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Sam Reed Sent: den 2 maj 2012 16:32 To: mediawiki-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org Cc: wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org; mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [MediaWiki-announce] MediaWiki 1.19.0 released I'm happy to announce the availability of the first stable release of the new MediaWiki 1.19 release series.

Help importing abstract.xml
by စကား၀ါေျမ အြန္လိုင္ းစာၾကည့္တိုက္ 02 May '12

02 May '12

Dear Media Wiki Community, First I would like to say sorry if I wrongly ask help by this way. I am having a problem related to importing abstract.xml which is dumped data from http://my.wikipedia.org . I am getting the error of "Import failed: Expected <mediawiki> tag, got feed ". I have no idea for that. Second problem is importing a file named mywiki-20120430-all-titles-in-ns0.gz which is situated on http://dumps.wikimedia.org/mywiki/20120430/ . I am not sure which file type it is and how I import. Thank you so much. Best Regards, Ko Min

Page edit timestamps
by Stephen Berg (Contractor) 01 May '12

01 May '12

Is there a way to get a pages last updated timestamp from somewhere other than the page itself? I'd like to build a page which will be a table of certain wiki pages I keep an eye on, and the timestamp for that pages last update? The {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} magic word only seems to give you the last update for the page that you're viewing. -- Stephen Berg Systems Administrator NRL Code: 7320 Office: 228-688-5738 stephen.berg.ctr(a)nrlssc.navy.mil
