Is there a simple way to remove items from the list of special pages (in MW v1.4 beta5) ? Can something from specialpage.php be manipulated or maybe put into localsettings for customization? Thanks :-) Morten -- Crews Cut Community http://www.crewscut.com Morten Blaabjerg Dronningensgade 4B, DK-5000 Odense C. Tlf. +45 65 90 60 88

Invisible or unusable? In any case, modify includes/SpecialPage.php. Change new SpecialPage to new UnlistedSpecialPage to make pages invisible, and add a second parameter "sysop" to the pages you want to be unusable for normal users. -- /Wegge <http://wiki.wegge.dk> echo mail: !#^."<>"|tr "<> mail:" dk@wegge mailto:awegge@gmail.com - Invitationer på FCFS basis

Thanx for the quick solution - it works perfectly, - only has the slight disadvantage of needing to be updated with new updates of MW. Trawling the special pages, I've found a curious behaviour in this page of the wiki : http://www.crewscut.com/index.php?title=Special:Newpages All the pages get a yellow background when hovering with the mouse on this page. Could this have something to do with my special css-customizations or is it a bug? Can anyone reproduce this ? Is there an easy way to fix this? Morten :-) Anders Wegge Jakobsen wrote:

How do you completely remove pages from the wiki that have been hacked with nonsensical things. When you delete the page's info, it still leaves the header. Thanks in advance.

To delete a page, click the 'delete' tab, enter an explanation for the log, check the confirmation box, and click the submit button. You must be logged in with a sysop account.

What do "delete the page's info" and "header" mean? -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Brian, maybe I'm missing something, but where do I find the delete tab?

Some things can't be changed.

I see it as well. The likely culprit is line 963 in 'skins/monobook/man.css', which according to the DOM inspector in Mozilla Firefox states that the background-color for .not-patrolled items are #FFFFAA. -- /Wegge <http://wiki.wegge.dk> echo mail: !#^."<>"|tr "<> mail:" dk@wegge mailto:awegge@gmail.com - Invitationer på FCFS basis
