Hello everybody,
I have "inherited" a wiki project running
MediaWiki:1.6.5 (cgi-fcgi) PHP:5.1.4 MySQL:4.1.14-nt
at my working place (I am a working student at SAP), and was wondering:
1) if there is anything similar to webs in Twiki, maybe an extension, or is it necessary to install another wiki, in order to get this functionality?
2) In our Wiki it is not possible to upload files of type pdf, ppt, xls or doc, but I read in this list, that it is possible (e.g Arne Bittig: Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Problem uploading certain files (blank upload form) How can these be enabled? Does this depend on the version, an extension, ...???
3) Would you recommend us, to upgrade it to the latest version?
4) Is it possible, to login to it via Single Sign On? Does anybody know an Extension for this?
5) Is there anything special, I have to put attention over (Appart from Recent Changes)???
Thank you very very much in advance and kind regards,
Veronica

You'll need to describe what that is, for the benefit of those of us who haven't been exposed to that particular feature before.

Read the FAQ.
- Would you recommend us, to upgrade it to the latest version?
Yes; upgrade to at least 1.6.9 if running under PHP 4.4, or 1.9.1 if running PHP 5.

Write an authentication plugin.

What's important to you about what happens on your wiki?

Hi Veronica
1) I don't know what are webs in Twiki?
2) Check here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Configuring_file_uploads
3) It depends whether your OS, etc. allows it. Otherwise yes check for the latest version.
5) If this is trusted environment usually no. If it's open to outside maybe better to employ a good spambot (instead of correctin spam by yourself).
Regards, Aretai

Take a look at AuthPlugin and customize it to your environment.

There is a lot of documentation online on how to setup your wiki.
I suggest http://www.mediawiki.org and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

It depends on what you mean by single sign on. If you mean LDAP, Smart Cards, or NTLM, then yes; if you mean Kerberos, I don't think so, but I've never really looked particuarly for that. You can check the extension categories on meta and on mediawiki.org for any of the above.
