changing sign in message
by chris tharp 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Hi I've found the system messages for changing some of the messages on the sign in account creation page, but I can't seem to find where the message about the statistics is generated. The one that says Sitename is made by people like you. Number of edits number of pages number of contributors I need to get rid of this message since it's grossly wrong on my wiki. I used a special php script to import and create lots of pages. But, unfortunately, we didn't write the script right since everything works but the statistics have never been right. I can live with the statistics being wrong, but hate to confuse people on signup with statistics that don't made sense. Thanks

Assuming you mean the sidebar when you talk about the "navigation pane," I have the following actually in the sidebar: • MediaWiki:Sidebar|Change this menu! So now the sidebar has a link showing on every page for changing the sidebar. To initially edit the sidebar, you need to go to: http://www.YourDomainName.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar Then you can add the line above. :::: The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. -- Charles DuBois :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op ::::

Interface text for Special:Updload
by Krabina Bernhard 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Dear all, I'd like to change the text on Special:Upload (Spezial:Hochladen in my case), but several attempts didn't work: 1. I changed MediaWiki:Uploadtext, but that did not help 2. I tried the markup for wpUploadFormLongText and wpUploadFormShortText on MediaWiki:Uploadtext from here [1] 3. I tried to change other interface texts, e.g. MediaWiki:Upload-maxfilesize or MediaWiki:Summary, which also doesn't work. (While others like MediaWiki:Sitenotice, MediaWiki:Searchmenu-new or MediaWiki:Sitenotice work fine) I'm using MediaWiki 1.22.5 regards, Bernhard [1]: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:UploadForm.js/Documentation#Con…

by Bill Traynor 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

MW 1.23.3 PHP 5.4.32 MySQL 5.5.39 Lua 5.1.5 Yesterday on a wiki I administer, pages utilizing Lua modules began producing the following script error: Lua error: Connot create process: proc_open (/dev/null): failt to open stream: Operation not permitted And similarly, the system log file is full of this PHP Warning: PHP Warning: proc_open(/dev/null): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in .../extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/LuaStandaloneEngine.php on line 211 I know the permissions on /dev/null are correct. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks Bill

Archiving articles to another Wiki based on category or template
by Henrik Rasmussen 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Instead of deleting Wiki articles which are not valid any longer, but are kept for historical reasons, I want to move those articles away from the current Wiki. Historical articles could contain [[category:histocal]] and I imagine that those articles could be moved automatically to another Wiki, based on this category, (or alternatively to another namespace, but this would not be read-only). How do I accomplish this? I am currently running Mediawiki version 1.20.4 Henrik Rasmussen
