I recentlyhave this problem develop. I was doing some editing and at some point I decided to open the main page of my wiki to my complete astonishment all the color blocks was gone and uopn looking ate the source code I discovered that every equal sign = = = in the page had been replace with '''' I checked several pages and it is consistant through out the entire wiki site. Anyone know what to do?? Second issue is I believe this might a corrupt table in the database. Upon looking for the saved content I can not locate where the actual content is stored. The database seems OK but I wanted to look at some of the pages in a text viewer outside the wiki system. I don't know where Mediawiki is storing the content. Any help please. Thanks! Frosty
BTW if you want to take a look the wiki is http://www.physicswiki.net and I really need some pointers. I am new to managing a wiki siute.
Are you sure it's the = signs replace by ' and not ' replaced to ' ? That seems more likely to me from the context. That would also be explained by "features" like magic_quotes. Just that Mediawiki is magic quotes aware. So my guess is that there's anything else reescaping the page contents for the db.
Well, right you are, I did a completely empty page and used every item in the button lineup and the only ones that were altered when I saved it were the one where the wiki formatting in a ' as you said. Now the question is WHY??? What is the Magic Quotes? Any Help is appreciated. I will also googlke it to see what I can learn. Thanks for the pointers to a nooooby! Frosty
