Nope, not using templates on the category or the article. But Brion Vibber has pointed me to a bug report about this (3424) so I'll wait to see how that turns out. -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of MHart Sent: Saturday, 29 October 2005 6:36 a.m. To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Category caching & "new messages" problems Are you using templates on that page? We had a similar problem with TaxAlmanac, and it turned out to be a problem in our template code that wasn't particularly "visible", but resulted in and Edit link to a page with content. We had main article pages with a stub and a discussion page with lots of text, but the discussion link from the main article was a red "edit" link. So it is, sort of a bug in MediaWiki, but the cause is a user error in the template code. - MHart ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Arnold (DSLWN)" <BenA(a)datacom.co.nz> To: <mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org> Sent: Monday, October 24, 2005 11:38 PM Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Category caching & "new messages" problems I am running MediaWiki 1.5beta4 on the Saint WAMP 3.3.4 and I have two problems. It's possible that both problems have the same root cause. Any help would be much appreciated! Problem 1: Category caching The first problem I have involves the server-side caching of categories at the bottom of an article page. If I edit an article and give it a brand-new category, then save the article, the category name is displayed in red (because the category doesn't yet exist). This is what I expect. So I click on the category name to bring up the edit page, enter some text and save the category. When I return to the original article the category name still appears in red and still uses "action=edit". I want the category name to be blue and to link to the article without editing it. Additional information: - If I control-refresh my browser the category still appears in red with action=edit - If a user who's never been to the article browses the article the category still appears in red with action=edit - If I view the article through a redirect the category appears in blue - If I add new articles to the category, they appear in blue - If I add action=purge, this fixes the problem --- but since the problem occurs every time I create a category, this is not a solution! - I have made some manual changes to LocalSettings.php and httpd.conf (see below) Problem 2: "New messages" If a user leaves a message for another user on their talk page they get a "new messages" banner. This banner never disappears. I searched around on the web a while and found a solution: get the user to watch and unwatch their talk page. Again, this solves the immediate problem but isn't a permanent solution. Customisation I have made a few manual changes to my LocalSettings.php: # Must be logged in to edit $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; # Must be a Sysop to create accounts $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; # Enables uploading of all file types $wgStrictFileExtensions = false; $wgCheckFileExtensions = false; $wgEnableUploads = true; # Short article paths $wgArticlePath = "/w/$1"; # Timezone NZDT $wgLocalTZoffset = 13; And two changes to httpd.conf: Alias /w /web/root/wiki/index.php LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Thanks for your help, Ben Arnold _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
