Mark, I test compatibility of version 1.21.0rc5 with the ShortUrl extension. It seems to fail, although the failure may be also due to my misunderstanding of the instruction at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortUrl
The installation pretends to be successful, see http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:Version However, I cannot find the place to indicate the desirabe shorturl: Page http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/q/index.php/Special:ShortUrl seems to be empty, and the instructions
Usage When installed redirects are available under Special:ShortUrl/<base36>. Links to redirects can be found in the Toolbox and under the heading (javascript only) Configuration (Optional) Run populateShortUrlTable.php maintenance script. Fills the shorturl database table with entries for all namespace/title parts of all currently existing articles. Set $wgShortUrlTemplate to the template of the path for generating short URLs. $1 is replaced with the actual short url id.
do not correspond that I see at the installation:
1. Page Special:ShortUrl/<base36> is absent. 2. There is no ShortUrl in the Toolbox, nor links to redirect. 3. The shorturl database does not appear. 4. There is no $wgShortUrlTemplate in the LocalSettings.php , nor $1. 5. In directory maintenance, there is no script populateShortUrlTable.php
Consider to check this before to release the version. ============= On Wed, 15 May 2013, Mark A. Hershberger wrote:
