I have not yet set up a MediaWiki wiki, but I'm wondering how
people are dealing with wiki spam. I just read the following in
a POPFile discussion about the POPFile wiki:
--- begin quote ---
If you enter a URL that is for an off-site link in the Wiki it
must be approved by me. If it is not then the link will be
replaced with the text:
You are not authorized to add this URL
and the URL will not be displayed.
--- end quote ---
You can read the full discussion here:
<http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1066729&forum_id=213099>
I'm thinking that I would like to have the option to do this on
the upcoming Infinite Ink wiki. Does MediaWiki support anything
like this or are there any plans for something like this?
Thanks you,
Nancy

Hi!
I've set up a wiki where the intention is to have public viewing, but with
a restricted list of editors. Technically this was done by:
$wgWhitelistEdit = true;
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 0, "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 );
However, I am at a loss as to how I as a sysop can add new users. Do I have
to add them manually by SQL'ing the database directly? Or is there some way
or interface that I don't know about? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Arne Meyer
PS: Please note that this is not a question about the principle of
restricting the list of people who can edit; we are aware of the drawbacks
of it, but allowing everyone to edit is unfortunately not an option for the
time being.
Changes since 1.2.4:
* Fixed install problem with blank root password
* Fixed Special:Emailuser/Username links
* Fixed main-page edit links on fuzzy search results
* Fixed wikipedia-interwiki.sql
* Fixed install with apache2filter (ugly URLs)
* IP in 'go' search brings up contributions
* Switch from broken & to ? on top-level wiki URL hack
* Fix for moved pages in enhanced Recentchanges
* Initial main page on new installs links to the online documentation
There are no database format changes.

Hi all,
I just install new MediaWiki 1-2-4. When I installed it, I chose Englsih
UFT-8, and now all is English page, but I wanna change to other localize
language.
First, I did delete LocalSettings.php and run new install on
/config/install and now I got generated LocalSettings.php which I chose new
localized language.
But the problem is, even put that new one to root directory. But when
acceess the page, it's still in English page like usual...
Any way to chage language after installed ? I don't wanna delete all and
re-run from zero, 'cos now there're some pages already.
Thank you, D_KOTE.

Hello!
After a successful installation (I mean the successful execution of the
config.php script), I'm stuck at the point where I move the
LocalSettings.php file in the Wiki root and then I access the index.php
file. At this point I systematically get the "noconnect" message
("cannot contact the server ..."). What surprises me, is why it claims
it cannot connect while it has connected few seconds before (and even
created a database with tables)??
Any help will be very much appreciated :)
Thanks.

Hello,
currently I'm using Mediawiki 1.1.0 on a linux (debian) server. I want to
migrate the wiki to another server (also debian) and would like to update
the wiki to the current version 1.2.4.
Is it possible to upgrade the wiki and use the old database? How do I
migrate? I tried to dump and import the db and just copied the wiki-webtree
but that didn't work.
Thanks,
David

Hello list,
i have a problem with uploading files.
I have editet the LocalSettings.php and insertet $wgDisableUploads = false;
Then i chmod my images dir to 777. Of Course meanwhile i uploaded the
new LocalSettings.php. But If i want to upload a *.jpg i get errores
like this:
Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.
The script whose uid is 10731 is not allowed to access /home/www/htdocs/bsdhq.de/_wiki/images/6
owned by uid 30 in /home/www/htdocs/bsdhq.de/_wiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 452

The is_dir() and mkdir() Warings com on the Lines: 472 and 274 as
well. Finally the wiki itself reports an error like :
Konnte Datei "/home/www/htdocs/bsdhq.de/tmp/phptqUinX"
nicht nach "/home/www/htdocs/bsdhq.de/_wiki/images/6/6e/Absolute_openbsd.jpg" kopieren
which is german and says couldnt copy. =)
... what am i doing wrong here ?
the wiki runs in subdir of the webroot. as u can see this is /_wiki/
could this be a problem ?

Hi,
I have a problem with the following task (From
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_i18n) in mediawiki 1.2.4:
2) Run maintenance/rebuildMessages.php to re-import the messages. You'll
have to temporarily take out the maintenance script warning in your
LocalSettings.php to run it, probably. It needs to be run from the
command line. (This'll be cleaner in 1.3.x...)
When I start this script from the shell (php rebuildMessages.php), nothing happens, but I see no error msgs in the php log. And whats that "maintenance script warning in your LocalSettings.php"? I can't find that ...
I have a wiki which was installed with $wgUseDatabaseMessages = false; I now switched to "true" and want to re-import the german messages into the database and then work on the user interface.
By the way: Is there any documentation for the maintenance scripts at all? I could not find an overview about when to use which script...
Thanks & Bye, Thommie
