So, using my example, if there were say 20 pages within the help namespace, I'd want to create a "Help:IndexPage" page that listed all
20
pages and included internal links to take you to the page in
question.
I hope this makes sense.
The easiest way would be putting {{Special:Allpages/Help:}} at Help:IndexPage. That would include there the list from that namespace that
S>pecial:Allpages generates.
I'll try what you suggest and let you know how I get on
Go to Special:Listusers You should see there the groups you are in: eg. (sysop, bureaucrat) The account created during install is an administrator account. A bureaucrat can make other people an admin. That's done from Special:UserRights.
I've managed to create an Admin account with all the appropriate user rights so thank you.
That configuration should be ok. So, if you go to http://localhost/eurowiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Common.css you see a message of "Access denied" provided by the web server ? (ie. no sidebar or other part coming from the wiki) Does it work if you use instead http://localhost/eurowiki/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css ?
http://localhost/eurowiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Common.css appears to work fine
However ...
Having successfully created a "mediawiki.common.css" article page, and added the following line to it:
#f-powerbyico { display: none; }
In order to suppress the display of the mediawiki icon, I'm finding that it has no effect.
Any suggestions of what might be accounting for this?
