Hi, I thought I had this sorted, but I clearly dont. I have new users being created and content uploaded. Email seems to be intermittent - sometimes I get notifications, other times I don't URL is at http://www.actscoutaction.org.au/wiki/index.php/Special:RecentChanges Here's some detail LocalSettings.php: # Disable anonymous editing // Implicit group for all anonymous $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createtalk'] = false; $wgUsersNotifiedOnAllChanges = array( 'WikiSysop', 'IvanSanders' ); Versions are: MediaWiki 1.21.2 PHP 5.3.26 (litespeed) MySQL 5.5.32-31.0 Any help appreciated Cheers Ivan

Protected page that only bureaucrats can edit
by Al 20 Sep '13

Hello wiki pros, Is there a way to restrict edits of a protected page to only bureaucrats? Seems like it cannot be done. Alternatively, I hierarchy of admins I guess might help; but not sure. Thanks, Al

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Remove email address from page's list of watchers

You can remove the email address from the MySQL table. The table is (nominally, unless you gave it another prefix upon installation) "mw_user" and the field is "user_email". Simply set the text in that field to an empty string. You can also change their user name here, but don't mess with the other fields. :::: We stand today at a crossroads: One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness.

Possible to have links with different names than pages?
by Yan Seiner 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

This is sort of an oddball question. Is it possible to have mediawiki do something similar to the <a> tag where the link (the href attribute) is different from the text displayed? What I need is something like this: <a href="[[wiki page name]]">text displayed</a> Is that possible? -- Project Management Consulting and Training http://www.ridgelineconsultingllc.com

Anyone have any luck using the install.php script? Currently when I run it it logs me out and does not install
by Alex Muir 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hi, I'm trying to setup some scripts to configure a fresh ubuntu server and install the semantic media wiki automatically or least sem-automatically. I've got up to the maintenance/install.php script. When I run the following command I'm immediately logged out of the ubuntu server and have to log in again. No install is performed and no error message is presented. sudo php install.php --wiki:ELT --server:example.com --dbuser:root --dbpass:password --dbname:wiki --dbtype:mysql --db:prefix:smw --pass:password I can however install normally at this point using the web browser. I note the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Install.php has really no documentation Any thoughts? Thanks -- - Alex Muir http://ca.linkedin.com/pub/alex-muir/36/ab7/125

Remove email address from page's list of watchers
by Elke Flehmig 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hello, we use a mediawiki installation for internal use only with ldap authorization. Recently I started receiving messages about the failed delivery of notifications about page changes to email addresses/users that no longer exist (alumni). Is there a way to edit the list of watchers for a page and remove the email address? Or to clear the complete watchlist of a certain user (the ldap account no longer exists)? I do not want to remove (e.g. with merge&delete) the user account, as we'd like to keep track of who originally created/edited page content, even if that person is no longer part of our staff. Instlled versions: MediaWiki 1.19.8 PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze17 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.1.66-0+squeeze1 Any help is appreciated.

When does LinksUpdate run?
by Jim Hu 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

I'm trying to figure out where the LinksUpdate hooks run relative to other hooks. Can anyone clarify? I'm trying to modify an extension to add entries to pagelinks and categorylinks based on markup added during ParserBeforeStrip. Is the order on the grouped by function table in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks the order in which hooks are called?
