Hello everyone, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates Help:Templates says that there is no central repository for templates. Is there a technical reason for that?

Source protection

by Drium Yrvak

Hi all! I'm helping set up a Mediawiki for a site. Unfortunately, it's in a fairly drama-filled environment, where plagiarism is so common as to make us feel that we'd like to protect how we did certain things. Our wiki uses a lot of SQL integration and took a while to set up, and other wikis in the hobby don't use SQL a lot. To make a long story short, we want to prevent those competing sites from just copypasting our SQL code and reverse-engineering how we did things from that. If they want to figure it out on their own they certainly can, but we don't want people to just take our code. Luckily, by virtue of how the site is handled, the wiki doesn't allow anyone but the administrators to make or edit pages. That means we disabled account creation, and to protect certain pages (like history and view source) using the Lockdown extension, we simply restricted their access to the Users group. Sadly, it's still possible to catch the wiki code of our pages using the Diff parameter, and no doubt few other pages. We disabled Special:Export and Special:Compare, for example. But using any page that lists edits, like Recent Changes, people can just compare two old versions of a page and see the raw wiki code. How would one go about preventing access to the Diff parameter unless they're a User? Are there other ways to grab the raw wiki source code we should know about? I know this is against Mediawiki's usual open source policy. I apologize! But if you could still help it'd be greatly appreciated.

Required email feed

by אחיקם אלירז

I wanted the email to be a mandatory field when users register, so I used the following command: wgEmailConfirmToEdit$, It does work, but since then, data reception is very slow for some reason. Could these things be related to each other? Maybe there is something else that I should have done and that I didn't do?

Getting thumbnails of all images with Javascript

by George, Garrett J. (JSC-CB111)[SGT, INC]

Hey all, I've been working on image uploading in my Javascript based extension. Although embedding local images after uploading them works fine, there's the use case of wanting to embed images already uploaded to the wiki. I could use the AllImages API and the the url's of all the images but that would be a tremendous amount of network usage compared to a world in which I can simply get the thumbnails. I know the urls exist for the images because you can "copy link address" on the thumbnail when you're viewing the file description page. So, is there a way, using one of the many MW API's, to get the thumbnail url's for all the images? Thanks, Garrett
