How to allow upload of SVGs with links?
by David Gerard 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

By default, MediaWiki sensibly blocks upload of SVGs with links. However, we'd like to upload some to our intranet wiki (1.19). Is there a setting to allow this? (We already allow MS Office documents, so we're living on the edge obviously.) - d.

Wibe | Surf Wikipedia with the Power of YouTube
by Ankit Agrawal 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

Hi, I am Akshit (Co-Founder of Wibe), we have made a Chrome Extension by which anyone will be able to watch relevant YouTube videos corresponding to the Wiki Article they are reading. It is the deadly combination of Wikipedia and YouTube, it can really become a great new feature of Wikipedia. We developed it to solve our problem of switching to YouTube from Wiki to understand a particular thing. I would be very thankful if you guys please try and review it. Then if you like Wibe, consider it to integrate as a functionality in Wikipedia for some days so that user can use and review this new feature. *Website*: http://www.letswibe.com *Extension*: http://goo.gl/EiFG9t *Demo Video*: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98uDPo7ZjVI Install the Extension and then try out " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About" page to see how it changes the original wiki page by integrating relevant videos from YouTube. Cheers, Akshit Agarwal (Co-Founder, Wibe) akshit.jiit(a)gmail.com +91 8447136882 +91 8447735016

Fwd: Bug 68266 - Enable subpages by default (reverse $wgNamespacesWithSubpages)
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

I filed a bug to track a proposal sent earlier to another list: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68266 . Which comes with a question for you all wiki admins: > What wikis are using this [slashes in titles] on namespaces that do not have > sub-pages *and* would cause problems if sub-pages were enabled?

Hi all we try to use open Authorization on our wiki. We first started with OpenID, but then we suddenly realized that the big players like Google won't support this protocol any longer. So we want to move over to OAuth2.0, but the only extension we found so far is SocialLogin, which seems not to work under MW 1.23 anymore, according to its talk page and to our own experience :-( Does anybody of you has either SocialLogin brought up to work or do you have any other extension in mind which would allow an OAuth2.0 login to support accounts from Google, Facebook etc.? many thanks in advance & best regards Steffen

replacing syntaxhighlighting tags site wide
by Bill Traynor 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

I have about 400 pages in a wiki I'm administering that use syntaxhighlighting using the old <code lang="lang">some code here</code> method provided by and extension called CodeSyntaxHighlight. I'd like to remove the old extension and use SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi going forward. To do this, I need to replace: <code lang="lang"> with <syntaxhighlight lang="lang"> and </code> with </syntaxhighlight> Using the ReplaceText extension is one possibility, but I keep ending up with a problem when <code></code> is used, as the closing tag gets replaced and breaks the formatting. Is there some magic regular expression that can do this? I'm working through these pages manually right now. Thanks Bill

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Forms inside the wiki
by Jan Steinman 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

> From: Chris Tharp <tharpenator(a)gmail.com> > > ... what I was looking for is an easy way to allow page editors to add forms embedded into a page. Those forms could be in turn filled out by the end users (readers) without editing the page. A contact email page would be the clearest and easiest to understand example. > > Anyone else have any notions on how this could be done? Thanks We've been using PostForm.php, but the spambots quickly found it and inundated us. We renamed all such pages with "_(hidden)" appended and removed the automatic #REDIRECT with a page that tells the user to put "_(hidden)" after the URL -- not exactly very user-friendly. Forms without a CAPTCHA are nothing but trouble. :::: I had rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world. -- George Washington :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op ::::
