Hello guys, I configured a sitenotice message [¹] but it now shows up on every page. I'd like to limit only for article pages but no category pages, system messages, etc. Is something like that possible? Maybe with a css hack?

Yes, you can use CSS for that (hint: article page have ns-0 class). Another option is to use a parserfunction for comparing the current namespace with the one you want it to appear.

Hello Plaonides, trying the first method via CSS I use the following hack, /* Sitenotice */ div#SiteNotice { display:none; } .ns-0 div#SiteNotice { display:block; } But I can't see why this doesn't work. Nonetheless I'd be interested what you mean by comparing the namespace with a parser function. Is there any documentation on this topic? -robert 2010/9/22 Platonides <Platonides(a)gmail.com>om>:

Platonides is talking about the {{#ifeq ...}} parser function (which is provided by the ParserFunctions extension –http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions). Here's a brief example using #ifeq that would include a page called SiteNotice if the current page isn't part of a namespace. {{#ifeq: {{NAMESPACE}} | | {{SiteNotice}} |  }} For a list of additional magic words (like {{NAMESPACE}} that are available, read: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words -- Zak Greant (Wikimedia Foundation Contractor) Plans, reports + logs at http://mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Zakgreant Want to talk about the Mediawiki developer docs?

Thanks for your reply. I'm sure I'm on the right way and tried this one in MediaWiki:Sitenotice {{#if: {{ns:0}} | My text for sitenotice }} Unfortunately it doesn't work. I thought it should because it only says, include this text into sitenotice if a page that uses Sitenotices is in Main namespace. Error in reasoning? -robert 2010/9/22 Zak Greant (Foo Associates) <zak(a)fooassociates.com>om>:

{{#if: {{ns:0}} | My text for sitenotice }}

Nope: {{ns:0} always evaluates to the empty string. You'd really want {{#if:{{NAMESPACE}}|My text for sitenotice}}. But this doesn't work either: {{NAMESPACE}} is always evaluating to "MediaWiki" Fortunately you can do it with CSS. Edit Mediawiki:common.css and add these two lines. #siteNotice { display:none; } /* Hide sitenotice everywhere */ body.ns-0 #siteNotice { display:block; } /* Unhide in main namespace */ DanB

Are you sure that {{NAMESPACE}} behaves this way? Both on my local install and on mediawiki.org, {{NAMESPACE}} is empty on pages that are in the default namespace.

It's the same on our wiki too... except in Mediawiki:sitenotice. Try putting {{NAMESPACE}} in Mediawiki:sitenotice (which is what the poster wanted), then viewing pages in different namespaces, and you'll see what I mean. It's always "MediaWiki".

What is the source of the videos? If it is YouTube and so on I suggest the extension EmbedVideo. It works flawlessly. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo -robert 2010/9/24 Bruce Whealton <bwhealton(a)futurewavedesigns.com>om>:

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could offer suggestions for including video on a wiki site. I guess this is more complicated than just graphics because some kind of player is needed. Any suggestions on how to do this?

You might try installing the widgets extension: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets There are several Video widgets available: http://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/Main_Page#Video_widgets. I've only used the YouTube one and it works well. -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Whealton Sent: Friday, September 24, 2010 1:21 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Mediawiki and video Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could offer suggestions for including video on a wiki site.

How can I learn more about widgets? I am still in the newbie stage with mediawiki. Forgive me if my question sounds dumb or naive but...It sounds like it might be an easy concept, though. Conceptually, how is a widget approach different than the embedvideo extension. I do see that one could actually include twitter widgets, I guess to have a running display of the latest tweets on a page/article? Thanks, Bruce mrthetooth wrote:

The <nowiki> tag should do what you need.
