login id as parameter ?
Here's an apparently simple question who's solution is evading me.
We have mediawiki running on Ubuntu in a windows intranet (in a school). Everyone who
gains access to the wiki has already logged on. I can easily grab their login name and
pass it as a parameter to the weblink to the wiki.
So I want a use to launch the wiki with something like
http://localintranetserver/wiki?mylogin=fredbloggs which would mean that all editing that
Fred Bloggs does bears his name. Sounds easy... would solve lots of issues... but
can't quite figure it out.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Create New Page button
Hi There,
I just installed latest version 1.4.9 of MediaWiki and I'm learning
to use it. Please bear with me if my questions seem trivial.
Q1 - Can anyone recommend a tutorial site?
Q2 - On a few wiki sites I saw handy button (Create New Page) -- How
can I get this button to appear or is it some sort of hack I need to do?
Thanks,
Craig Hoffman

I've had some serous disk trouble and now, I'm
missing the user_rights table,
however, I'd simply create a new one, so, that every little user should just
recreate their accounts.
but how do I do?
could anyone gimme a short hint on what the schema of this table usually looks
like *AND* wether this would lead into other problems when I do it that way?
(I do not wanna loose the page contents)....
See maintenance/tables.sql for the schema. Create the table, then a
blank row for each user:
INSERT INTO user_rights (ur_user,ur_rights) SELECT user_id,'' FROM user;
You'd want to set up some account as a sysop, probably, putting
'sysop,bureaucrat' or such into its ur_rights field.
(Note that this table is no longer used in 1.5, as it's been replaced by
user_groups.)
