I distinctly remember there was a way to add a title to a special page
simply by entering in a URL, then adding the title to the wiki edit
field, and then saving. The new "writing a new special page" how-to is
very confusing - and it wants me to write PHP to get the title to show
up. There was an easier way...
I can't find this how-to anywhere- though I'm sure it used to exist. FX
can you walk me through how you've added a wiki page title to a special
page?
Thanks!

That page seems to have changed, it now just has a pointer to an
article about writing an extension which really doesn't seem to build
a special page.
I just figured out how to build a new special page which is like the
Uncategorized pages page, but looks at the Image namespace. I wrote it
up at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Writing_a_new_special_page

I'm currently trying to adapt several gadgets that are meant for wikis using the Monobook/Vector skins to the Monaco skin, and so far, I've managed to successfully port over the UTC Clock gadget and Sandbox page gadget to Monaco, but aside from those I've been having trouble since, frankly, my knowledge of Javascript/JQuery is slim and I'm not familiar with all the variables used in writing user scripts. I've fairly decent with CSS style sheets, but I still need help with Javascript, so does anyone know of some good resources I could look into, preferably tailored for writing scripts on MediaWiki?
Also, if anyone wants to see what I have done so far (and have released publicly), the wiki I have been testing my live gadget/user script code on is here:
https://mediawikitesters.orain.org/wiki/Main_Page
Has the parser just been changed with regards to tildes (~~~~) inside
HTML comments? It appears they used to be ignored, and are now
suddenly being replaced en masse the next time someone edits the page
(and can't be easily reverted - it just changes the sig to the
reverter's instead). See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/2006-06-02-ear…
for an example.

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to make or find a MediaWiki template that will take a
category and fill in a table on the main page of a site in one column.
The table will have a second column that will contain external urls.
Hello,
I have been running Mediawiki and updating with git - general outline here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git#Keeping_up_to_date
On update I pull recent versions of:
(1) mediawiki, (2) the extensions, (3) the skins, and (4) the external
libraries
with git.
I then run 'update' from the command line ( php maintenance/update.php ).
One issue I encountered is that: the extensions don't update right away - as
per the page 'Special:Version'.
Is there a simple way to reload the extensions?
Is it caching?
Any help/ideas on this would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Michael

I have several templates that I have copied from Wikipedia etc. Some of
them have a curious command such as {{/info}} what is throwing me off
is the / in the template call. I can not find any reference as to exactly
what that is supposed to do. It usually ends up with no results. Anyone<
please advise if you are aware of how this is supposed to work etc.
Thanks

Hi all,
I have a question that may be similar to G. Moko's post on December 19th
regarding "Dump of Recent Changes".
I have a private enterprise wiki that currently has some external users
that have been granted read-only access. I have been asked to remove these
external users from the wiki, but they need access to some of the content.
What is the best way to handle this? Extensions? Separate wiki that
automatically updates from the main using dumps (like G. Moko's post) and
some filtering (flagged pages, etc.)?
I'm considering adding the collection extension [1]. The content that needs
to be shared could be added and maintained by the collection and
daily/weekly pdf books could be distributed (possibly via Dropbox).
I welcome any thoughts on or suggestions. Thanks!
Regards,
Bryan

This afternoon, while procrastinating by cleaning up my clone of
gerrit's mediawiki extensions repository, I decided to make a meta
repository for some non-WMF-hosted extensions. (Hopefully this will
mean less need to clean up the clone in the future.)
I got some low-hanging fruit to start it off, but I'm hoping I can get
some pull requests to add more repositories.

Thanks,
Mark.
