Hi,
I run an internal wiki which is protected with
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; $wgWhitelistRead = array ("Special:Userlogin", "MediaWiki:Common.css", "MediaWiki:Common.js", "MediaWiki:Monobook.css", "MediaWiki:Monobook.js", "-"); $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
so I cannot get in without an administrator-created account. However, file downloads of course seem to work directly if the URL is known, as they are directly served via Apache.
Is there any mod_rewrite rule that requires MediaWiki authentication before offering file downloads (from the images directory), or an extension that does not let users download files directly, but rather uses a MediaWiki wrapper?
I know that wikis are not meant to be private, and a simple .htaccess password protection helps here as well, but maybe there is an easy solution for my needs. ;-)
Thanks, Florian

Hello all, I wonder how popular the SemanticMediaWiki extension is for members of this list. Are there other lists like this one that deal with different extensions or uses of Mediawiki or enhancements to a Mediawiki? Anyway, I had a couple questions. I installed SemanticMediaWiki on my media wiki site. So, it might be useful to find out, do a search of, other sites/wikis that one use SemanticMediaWiki and are about a similar topic, subject or focus for their wiki. Then having done so, we would want to link to each others wikis, share content, and encourage collaboration. That's the reason or function of a SemanticMediaWiki. SMW helps to search, organize, tag, browse, evaluate, and share the wiki's content and allow the wiki to function as a collaborative database. Is there a way to find for example other mediawiki installations that are about writing, poetry and related topics? Is there then a way to include a list of these articles and sites within my wiki? Thanks, Bruce
There is an entirely separate (and quite active) mailing list for the Semantic MediaWiki extensions: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/semediawiki-user

OTOH, I don't think that this really is an SMW-specific question. As I understand it, the first question was how to find out about other wikis that cover similar/overlapping topics so as to exploit synergies between communities. I do not know if there is another answer to this than "Try using Google" -- but the SMW lists won't be specifically useful for finding other poetry wikis either.
The second question was whether one can embed content (articles) from such wikis. There are some SMW-specific ways of sharing data between wikis (especially using Exhibit as in [1] or [2]) but cross-site transclusion of whole articles is not really what SMW does.
Cheers,
Markus
