Hi,
is there a way to force SSL for login and then switch back to plain
HTTP?
Thanks, Helmut

I have set up a wiki on my Solaris 10 and wanted to use images on the
frontpage as easy, fast and nice links.
With the next upcoming version, MediaWiki 1.14alpha, r42something (SVN
HEAD - "unstable") you can link this way, too:

Hi all...
I've a mediawiki web site running mediawiki vers. 1.10.4
I'm interesting in upgrade to 1.13.2, thus, I create a local
site using xampplite with MW 1.13.2, PHP 5.2.5 and MySQL 5.0.51.
The database was exported via phpMyAdmin 2.8.1 (no console
access on web server) as SQL file and then reimported in local
MySQL by console source command (the file is too large to work
by phpMyAdmin).
(Unfortunately, I cannot create a local site similar to the
production one, that is running MW 1.10.4, PHP 5.0.4 and MySQL
4.1.23)
Anyway, all installed and it seems it goes fine, except for two
errors on two pages. It seems that two errors are in someway
related to url structure, but not sure...
...
(...)
any hint?
Increase the allowed memory for php.
It's getting out of memory when trying to render those pages (editing
works becasue it just needs to show you the wikitext)..
The / instead of ? after index.php is normal. It's using the PATH_INFO
so you have cleaner urls than using the QUERY_STRING.
The errors at the apache log may be related to the rewrite rules you
might have.

Thanks Platonides!
I've increase the memory limit to 40M and it works
for the page "Elementi Avanzati/Esempi di Mestiere"
that is really huge. Probably this was the same
error on the "Elementi Avanzati/Le Capacit?" page.
Unfortunately, because some try on export-import
(thinking that it could be a charset problem too)
I have REALLY a charset problem now!
For example, I've seen that for the url
http://localhost/wiki/index.php/Categoria:Capacit%C3%A0
The word Capacit? in hex is has follow:
C a p a c i t ?
43617061636974c3a0 <- correct
instead I've this:
43617061636974c383c2A0 <- wrong
And because I forgot the settings for the working
export-import sequecence, I must redo all my tests...
(oh... I really hate the charsets :-D )

Well, you may be able to manually move the wiki to 1.5 (look at the
steps done by update.php) but you're on your own. *Remember to backup
your broken db before doing anything*. Once you're on 1.5 you will be
able to use updat.php again, but if you don't fully pass to 1.5 that
could lead to further breakage.

I found that the wildcard character (*) can't be use
when i use PostgreSQL as the database for mediawiki,
but only when i use MySQL database for the mediawiki.
After upgrading from PostgreSQL v8.3.3-1 to v8.3.4-1
the search works a bit better.
Now MediaWiki can find articles with the word "skovningssystem"
if I search for "skov".
Unfortunately it still can't find articles with the word "TM2200"
if I search for "TM" or "2200".
I want to thank Greg for his explanation about
"word stemming".
Now the search results make sense ;)

I for instance can search for "rabbit" and find something, but
find nothing by searching for "rabbi*" or "rabbi%".
Searching (in Postgres on MediaWiki) works on word stemming,
so that any search term is broken down to its base, and the
base words are compared against an indexed. There is no
support for searching arbitrary collections of letters, which
seems to be what you want. Doing such a thing would be an
extremely time-consuming task on all but the tiniest of
wikis, as there is no way to index such arbitrary searches.
If this is something you really wanted, however, you could
probably write an extension and/or global flag to do the
searching by producing SQL similar
to:
SELECT * FROM page_content WHERE old_text ~ 'rabbi' WHERE ...
