My main curiosity is where/what folder in the website directory or on the database are the pages for the wiki stored?  Want to make sure I know where these are so I can easily back them up as needed so I don't lose information.

Hello all, I had a somewhat small wiki with not a lot of content in it, so when things went wrong with my mediawiki 1.15.x installation upgrade to mediawiki 1.16.0, I just started with a fresh install. At about the time that I figured out that mediawiki 1.16 was the latest version and I was using 1.15.x, I also was running into an error when I added a couple extensions. It was telling me that a cache table did not exist and this was crashing my site, my wiki. I couldn't just create an empty table because I had no idea how many columns were in that table. Anyway, I thought with the new installation I could bring in the content, the articles from the old installation. The problem is that in looking at my exported db, a mysql db, that I exported from phpmyAdmin and my cpanel, and from just browsing the db, I see that the content of the articles are in binary files. So, it's not text that I can just copy and paste into new articles - I only had about 10 of them. Is there a way to get at those binary files that contain the text of the articles, and the wiki code and somehow either import it into my new wiki install or look at it and examine it in some way so that I could copy and paste the content so as to recreate the articles. I should note that I don't seem to have shell access, so I have to use the cpanel and phpmyadmin. Thanks for any tips, Bruce -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ B. M.

I really like the search box at the upper right of

Particularly how it combins a "starts with" search with the "containing" option. I couldn't figure out how to implement it on my own mediawiki

Is there a link someone could direct me to that would explain how I could integrate it? Thanks. - skew _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
