(Praise) Lower CPU usage for 1.23
by Dan Fisher 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

According to what I see in the control panel (this is my observation, others may or may not notice a difference), Mediawiki 1.23 has half of the previous CPU usage. Thanks to developers. Hope it stays this way.

Meta tag expires
by Chris Tharp 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

I haven't seen this addressed anywhere so I thought I throw it out there: How to add Meta tags inside Mediawiki for limited timed events. I use the Semantic Mediawiki and allow users to post events so I need an easy way to add the meta tag expires inside a page. Any thoughts? Thanks Sent from my iPad

I want to create a namespace for documentation that I do not want searchable and would like it secured. I could get 1 to work and it is searchable and not secure 2 does not seem to work [1] $wgExtraNamespaces[500] = "Foo"; $wgExtraNamespaces[501] = "Foo_talk"; [2] define("NS_FOO", 500); define("NS_FOO_TALK", 501); $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_FOO] = "Foo"; $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_FOO_TALK] = "Foo_talk"; // underscore required $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_FOO] = array( 'editfoo' ); //permission "editfoo" required to edit the foo namespace $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_FOO] = true; //subpages enabled for the foo namespace $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['editfoo'] = true; //permission "editfoo" granted to users in the "sysop" group Phil

Question about the search engine
by Rea Iseli 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi everybody, I'm using Mediawiki and want that the searchmatches are displayed bold. I found the css code .searchmatch { font-weigth: bold; }, when i looked with firebug at an other mediawiki side who had this option and saw that the diffrence with mine is - that the searchmatches are not marked as searchmatches. I use the vector skin. How can i enable that option? The other question is, how can i make that the class mw-search-result-data only displays the date, without the bytes, words and the time? Thx alot for your answers! Kind regards, Rea

Re: [MediaWiki-l] memcached is losing MediaWiki sessions - tips for debugging?
by Daniel Barrett 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

I wrote: >In the past few weeks, we've been seeing the "Loss of session data" error message in our >wiki frequently when users try to save their edited articles (and the save fails).... We found the problem and it's worth documenting. *One* of our memcached servers was missing an entry for itself in /etc/hosts. This meant that this one server could not connect to memcached on localhost. Since we have multiple memcached servers, the error was intermittent. Adding an IPv4 entry for the server in the bad /etc/hosts file solved the problem. DanB

Newbie with Vandal Problem
by Winters Wiki 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi, I have a wiki at winterswiki.org. It was discovered by vandals who created 9500 new users and 10,000+ pages in a couple of days. I disabled access and wiped all the users except known ones off the database, but when I enabled the wiki again new users started being created every minute or so. I disabled anon account creation, but I still have 10,000+ pages of spam intersperced with my real pages. What is the best way to get rid of the pages I don't want in a bulk fashion? What is the best way to avoid this and other problems.. Thanks Dave
