Hi,
I'm currently in the process of installing multiple wiki's on one server using the same database (different prefixes). Is it possible to have all the wiki's use the same user table so registering on one wiki will enable u to log in on all of them ?
Regards,
Kenny
Hi, I tried to find the same solution. I'm afraid this isn't possible yet (hopefully I'm wrong).

Yes.
I think it is called "Single Sign-On". It's a big new feature they are turning on for Wikipedia and its siblings. Hope that helps your search, I haven't implemented it yet myself so I can't be of more help.

Hmm... maybe this extension is helpful. But it's status is "experimental", so I don't know if I should risk to use it. Does anyone installed this one?

That extension is the same as SUL (Single Sign-On), which is NOT what Kenny asked. It's a system for wikis where you have one account on each and you want to merge them. If you are creating the wikis, they should be configured to share the user db from the beginning. This is the method used at wikia.
Platonides: ok, thx for the info. Actually I am creating 3 new wikis (using same DB, different prefixes), could you please tell me what to do to share the user DB or give any link about this issue? I have only phpMyAdmin access and I'm a complete slq noob :-/
Thx in advance.

Hi,
Currently I created the wikis without the single user list feature. I managed to have them use the same images though. My idea is having 4 wikis, which are translations (localized versions) of each other, that use the same user list. So basically I don't need to manage users on 4 different wikis.

I gave it a try but does not work. The wikis use the same database with different prefixes.

Look down a little further at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSharedDB#Table_Prefix_Hack
It's experimental, but it's the most stable way to get a shared database to work with prefixes. Naturally you're actually supposed to give each wiki it's own database and not use prefixes.

The hack is what I tried, since the other one works indeed with different databases and the same prefix.

Ooh. How do you do this? I have a wikifarm where all wikis are in the same database, but have separate user tables.

I was told to do like David did: all wikis share the SAME db with different prefixes. So adding [[de:Hauptseite]] or [[:de:Hauptseite]] would show a link to the same article in another language (left menu or within the article itself). Is there another "cleaner" way to have several wikis together (wiki family)?

At the moment I use the interwiki extension to link articles to their translation ([[de:Hauptseite]], [[es:Portada]]). I checked Wiki Family, scenario 2 looks like you just use the same source but still a separate database/prefix. I followed scenario 4, but failed to get the shared extensions working (interwiki, shared upload, image description work).
