What's the right way to redirect to an article in the "project" namespace without hard-coding the wiki name? Neither {{ns:project}} nor {{SITENAME}} works:
#REDIRECT [[{{SITENAME}}:My page]] #REDIRECT [[{{ns:project}}:My page]]
Instead of accomplishing a redirect, they merely render the text:
1. REDIRECT MyWikiName:My page
as if the "#" were a numbered list symbol.
Thanks, DanB
Good Morning MediaWiki Fans:
Let's say I'm fetching rendered pages from the wiki with the action=render option in the URL. Is there a configuration or option in the URL that will tell the renderer to include full URL's to included images from the wiki itself ? Currently I'm seeing relative URL references to the local images which doesn't help much if this is being displayed elsewhere.
Thanks for all your assistance,

There's a bug about it which i can't find at this moment at bugzilla. You can workaround the problem by using a full url for the repository on the rendered wiki.
Hi All,
I want to use any easy to install WYSIWYG editor in my mediawiki. I found Wikiwyg extension but it seems to be complicated to install. Any one has any idea of another such extension or any one can help me in installing Wikiwyg extension.
Thanks
Mehnaz
I've installed the FCKeditor extension on our wikis but its very buggy so I inform our users that if they want to stop using it they can set their preferences so they do not use it (and instead get the default Mediawiki wikitext editor) by going into the Misc tab in their preferences page and selecting "Rich text, disable globally".
The reason I offer FCKeditor is because it makes tasks such as creating tables simple and easy. My hope is the bugs, of which there are many, are fixed soon. FCKeditor has come out with a new version and I am anxiously awaiting the Mediawiki extension of the FCKeditor to include the new version, which it currently does not.
If anyone has a better recommendation than FCKeditor for a wysiwyg editor, please let us know. I also checked out Wikiwyg and found it wanting.

If your primary reason is for tables editing .. you might look at TableEdit extension at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TableEdit
It works pretty nicely and gives the user all they really need to edit a table. As with any other extension it isn't everything I could want but then my extension probably doesn't float every user's boat either <G>.
Jim Hu is pretty responsive to any problems and ideas.

Project: is aliased to the project namespace, so you can just say: #redirect [[Project:My page]]
Thanks, I was hoping it was easy! DanB
