Method for crafting an edit link that shows Read page if page already exists?
by Larry Silverman 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

I'm looking for a quick or clever method to achieve the following: Site A (not a wiki) has a "Create page" link to the wiki to create a new page and pre-fill it with a template. But if the wiki page already exists (does not actually need to be created), what I really want to have happen is to have the user get redirected to the page in Read mode, not Edit mode. Is there a way to construct a URL such that mediawiki will check if the page already exists, and upon an edit request, redirect instead to the Read page? Thanks! Larry

wiki based on html5 section tag
by FxParlant 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi all, I wanted to know if some experiences had been made to create a wiki based on the Html5 "section" tag (and header). Has someone tried to change the parser to allow edit section to be made with a "<section>" tag ? Can you share the way you tried and which difficulties you encountered? My (ugly) try is at : http://proj.wiki/index.php?title=Autocollant_je_m%27arr%C3%AAte_aux_passage… Thank you François --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

LDAP Authentication Issue
by Jon 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Having an issue getting mediawiki to actually authenticate against ldap. Below is a log from a failed logon. In addition, below that is the LDAP Portion of the configuration. LDAP Authentication extension is 2.1.0, by Ryan Lane, and shows as an installed extension under Special:Version. Beyond that, I had hoped that once I declared the log file for LDAP extension to log to it would populate the file. It remains empty, despite having proper read/ write permissions. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

24 Aug '14

Hi @all, I made an update for Extension:Tooltip for MW 1.23.2. As far as i tested it, it's running good now. I added some parameters too. I placed the new source for 3 files in the discussion page. My question is, if the update of the extension with all files should get placed somewhere to download it? If so where and how to do? Greetings Frank
