Subject: Trouble installing new wiki
I am trying to install a new wiki using Mediawiki 1.19. After downloading the SMW extensions, and setting up the database, I'm going through the install process through the MW install pages. I click on the Install after selecting the extensions (and other features), and it seems to hang, never completing the installation. Where would I start diagnosing the problems?

Hello,
At first sorry for my bad english.
For my personal wiki, I have a lot of pages in 1 category ("My CD"). I can
see the list of theses pages with URL /index.php/Category:My CD.
But i find no way to view all *content* of these pages in 1 page (i want
the list of each track, pictures, albums, lyrics, etc..).
For exemple if i have 300 pages named like this : "Metallica/Kill Em All",
"Guns N Roses/Appetite For Destruction", "Megadeth/Countdown to Extinction"
classed in [[Category:MyCD]] i would like to edit like this :
page : /index.php/All of my CD :
{{:Guns N Roses/Appetite For Destruction}}
{{:Metallica/Kill Em All}}
{{:Megadeth/Countdown to Extinction}}
{{:...}}
{{:...}}
{{:...}}
{{:...}}
{{:...}}
(300 x times ?! too long, just the whole [[Category:My CD]])
I wish automatic handling to print all the pages contents of My CD category
without editing the "All of my CD" page each update... :/
I didn't find any extension or way to do that (intersection extension gives
just the list pages not the content).
Thank you if you can help me.

I have FlaggedRevs protection enabled. When setting the protection to
"flaggedrevs-protect-sysop", as an anonymous user, edits do not require
review, and are visible immediately. How do I protect the page so its edits
require review?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional information:
MediaWiki: 1.17.3
PHP: 5.3.0 (apache2handler)
Database: SQLite 3.6.15 with full-text search support
FlaggedRevs branch: REL1_17
I'm forwarding this (below) on behalf of the Fanlore community, which is
seeking some volunteer help. Fanlore is an important archive for the
speculative fiction community. I'd appreciate it if someone could take
a few hours to help them with their current needs, and I'd be delighted
if you could mentor some of their volunteers so they could fix their own
long-term needs.

Fanlore (fanlore.org) is a wiki about fan culture and history that can
be edited by anyone who registers. The wiki is a volunteer project of
the Organization for Transformative Works (transformativeworks.org).
It's a few years old now, and in need of advice on the technical
front.
We're looking for someone who, basically, knows enough about MediaWiki
and wiki spam protection to know what Fanlore needs. We need a
technical liaison whose role would be to advise us (the OTW's wiki
committee) on what improvements are needed, and which
software/extensions we need to make those improvements. Someone with
knowledge about MediaWiki skins would be ideal. Our current default
skin, WordPress, has an unfortunate bug that prevents image centering,
and the skin is deprecated or soon-to-be deprecated in the most recent
versions of MediaWiki. We'll need to switch skins eventually, but
before we can do that, we need to redesign the infobox templates
because those were originally designed mainly to work with the default
skin. We already have people with knowledge of CSS and HTML, but no
one with advanced knowledge of wiki templates.
In addition to our current needs, long-term maintenance of the wiki
also involves investigating (rare) bug reports from users. The
technical liaison would investigate the bugs and determine whether
they can be fixed, how to fix them, and who can fix them.
We're currently in the testing phase for a MediaWiki upgrade, but it's
been plagued with various technical and personnel availability issues
and isn't going very quickly. The MediaWiki upgrade will theoretically
help our spam problem because better tools are compatible only with
the more recent versions. In the meantime, we're also testing
recaptcha and will use that to prevent spambots from signing up.
However, recaptcha isn't our favorite, and we're hoping we can revisit
our spam solutions once we upgrade MediaWiki.
Anyone who's interested in advising us on how to whip Fanlore's
MediaWiki installation into shape, please mail
wiki(a)transformativeworks.org with any questions and we'll get back to
you as soon as possible.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
The OTW wiki committee
I am looking for a bulletin board extension for mediawiki. I found MWBB (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MediaWiki_Bulletin_Board) but it says there that it is in beta.
Is there any bulletin board extension that is robust and is in good working condition?

Hey!
I have a question regarding SessionIDs received by API and passing them to
MediaWiki to keep being logged in.
I have my own page where I use the MediaWiki API to read out all available
page. I log in with the API and can read those Informations.
Now I want to display those Informations on my page, in this case I list all
those pages in a table with a link ot he original MediaWiki page. If a
visitor of my page clicks now on one of those links, he is directed to
MediaWiki to view that page.
Since you need to be logged in into my MediaWiki to view any page, how can I
pass the sessionid I received via the API to my MediaWiki? Is there a way to
pass it via GET ?
For example "http://mysite.xy/mediawiki/index.php?sessionid=[the
<http://mysite.xy/mediawiki/index.php?sessionid=%5bthe%20sessionid%20I%20got
%20from%20API%5d/Mainpage> sessionid I got from API]/Mainpage".
I tryed to set the mediawiki_session, mediawikiUserName, mediawikiUserID and
mediawikiToken cookies from my site for the domain where the mediawiki is
running, but that didnt worked.
Mysite and the MediaWiki running on different servers!
Please help me realizing this, ist very important for me.

Jens Albrecht
I'm working on a tag extension that prevents rendering of blocked output
under certain circumstances. It either does or does not use
recursiveTagParse() to do the right thing for blocks between my
<block></block> pairs. It works exactly the way I want it to, but I've got
a couple of side effects.
The biggest one is that when headers are involved, the section edit links
report "Cannot find section" when clicked. I'm not sure what to do about
that, any ideas?
The other is that I'm using FCKEditor, and as expected, selecting "Rich
edit" just shows a <special> tag where my tagged text is. It looks like
FCKEditor issues haven't been discussed for 4-5 years, but if anyone can
point out an article I haven't found yet on how to support new tags, I'd
appreciate it. In my case, I just want it to treat the tag like it wasn't
there, nothing is blocked while editing.
Any insights would be appreciated, thanks.

Hello All,
I've asked before but I didn't get an answer that resolved my issue so
I'll asked again in a different way maybe so it will be clearer.
I've got a master-slave wiki set up and I'm using Extension:RSS. The
master is using a private IP address and getting its feed from another
server in the same private IP space. The slave is in another private
network and is connected via vpn to the master. I'd like to set up the
slave so that it gets its feed from another server in the same IP
address as it is in. The server that is the source of the feed for the
master is also getting replicated from the master's private network to
the slave's private network. So theoretically the RSS feed should be
identical. The problem I'm encountering is that since the master server
is in the private IP space of 192.168.101.x/24 and the slave server is
in the private IP space of 192.168.201.x/24, the RSS template I'm using
between the master wiki and the slave wiki is not the same since the
master points to the RSS feed of 192.168.101.x and the slave points to
the RSS feed of 192.168.201.x. So I have to edit the slave's RSS
template to make the change to accommodate the slightly different IP
address which breaks replication since now the databases are different.
Anyone have any suggestions ?
p.s. there is a vpn concentrator at both ends of the vpn which nats that
2 networks together.
