Hi,
I'm pretty technically savvy, but not a developer. Is the platform supposed
to be downloaded to a server in order to set up a wiki? There don't seem to
be steps on the website for non-developers to use to set up a wiki.

This page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_community_manager
says:
*- The online community manager role is a growing and developing
profession. People in this position work to build, grow and manage
communities around a brand or cause.*
That's the kind of person I want to hire. They would do what they can to
increase the number of editors on my wiki and create a community on the
site - something I've not managed to do myself. They would look into making
things easy for new editors, from converting readers into editors and
creating a positive social atmosphere on the wiki. It would be helpful for
them to also be subject matter experts although its not required.
Has anyone here done something like? If so, can you share your experiences?
And do you have any tips on finding a person who would be really good at
this role?
thanks
Dan
One of the products of our MediaWiki Release Management meetup here at
Wikimania yesterday is a new mailing list for people running Wiki Farms.
We want to start standardizing the tools and methods of setting up
these farms.
If you're interested, please join us:

So far Ive tried the dumpBackup.php and that only gets part of it. It
has been suggested that its a php script timeout issue and that's
possible. It is a large site with over 5000 articles on it so it will be
large. I would appreciate any tips on how to do this. I've also looked
at XCloner as another suggested and it does not appear to provide the
functionality to do what I need. Does fine on existing hard pages
in /html directory, but does not seem to be able to pull files from a
mediawiki and place them into a .xml file for importing. Even something
that could break up a backup so that it gets everything could help.
Dumping the databse ( mysql) will not work as that part of the issue.
The existing data base in somewhat filled with old no longer relevant
tables that SLOW it way down.
Any tips please?
Thanks
John
I am out of the office until 08/12/2013.
Out of Office, will return 8/12/2013.
Unavailable for meetings, will not respond to email.

http://rationalwiki.org runs 1.19 LTS. This is fine. (Barring a DDOS
over the past couple of days, so please excuse the site being slow.)
Trouble is, the skin is for desktops and not suited to mobile at all.
What can a 1.19 LTS site do for a better experience for its mobile
readers?
- d.
I anaged to get it to redirect to Main-Page by changing LocalSettings to
$wgScriptPath = "/w";
$wgScriptExtension = ".php";
$wgArticlePath = "/wiki";
$wgUsePathInfo = true;
but still can't get the article name to show up.

Hi!
How can Reference Tooltips [1] be enabled in an own installation of
mediawiki? I'd like to enable it for all users by default (while anyone
is free to opt out).
Extension:Cite is already installed, but I haven't found out how to
enable Reference Tooltips. Is this is setting in Extension:Cite or does
it require something else?
Cheers,
adrelanos
