Thanks Brianna.
This is all a bit concerning. As far as I am aware nothing has changed on
the main English wiki and yet I am now seeing red question marks all over
the place?!
Looking at the source whilst viewing a page showing the question mark I see
this...
<style type="text/css">/*<![CDATA[*/
@import
"/archives/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&c
type=text/css&smaxage=18000";
@import
"/archives/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Scribas.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&
ctype=text/css&smaxage=18000";
@import
"/archives/index.php?title=-&action=raw&gen=css&maxage=18000&smaxage=0";
/*]]>*/</style>
This seems to refer out to a page called /archives/index.php?title=- ???
When I view that page I get a page not found BUT when I use the full URL as
listed above I get the following:
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<pre>/* generated user stylesheet */ a { text-decoration: none; } a.new,
#quickbar a.new, a.stub, #quickbar a.stub { color: inherit; text-decoration:
inherit; } a.new:after, #quickbar a.new:after { content: "?"; color:
#CC2200; text-decoration: none; } a.stub:after, #quickbar a.stub:after {
content: "!"; color: #772233; text-decoration: none; }#toc { display: none;
} .editsection { display: none; } </pre>
</body>
</html>
Any ideas why I am suddenly seeing this and more importantly how to turn it
off?
I inserted the following line into the LocalSettings.php file but no change,
question marks for all non-existing pages.
$wgDefaultUserOptions['highlightbroken'] = 1;
If I visit my user page and edit it then the question mark goes away.
Similarly it goes away for any pages that I newly create/edit.
Confused,
Paul

I have added two more wikis to my site (Italian
and Spanish) and through
AuthDrupal am handling login with the Drupal community site.
I have just noticed that for the two new wikis I see a question mark after
the username?
e.g Paul? Tom? Patrick? etc
Does this have some special meaning?
This is NOT occurring on the first wiki even though the _user record looks
to be identical for each.
Are the two wikis different versions?
I believe this is a user preference called "highlightbroken" (
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgDefaultUserOptions ).
Instead of putting "broken" links (non existent pages) as red links,
it puts a question mark link after the title. You can change this in
your preferences, or for the whole site by putting this in
LocalSettings.php:
$wgDefaultUserOptions['highlightbroken'] = 1;
I recall installing MW once and was surprised to find this formatting
too. Then on a later install it was back to red links, so I guess that
the default value of this option has changed with some releases.
HTH, Brianna
