by Thomas Gries 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

I work with the recent CVS 1.4 - fresh installation, fresh database - but have NO ADMIN rights with the recent CVS version. Special Page Admin List shows: (none) Is it due to the recent introduction of user_rights table ? But how to set up the rights and where to find the documentation about this new feature ? Who can assist ?

Broken Browsers destroying interwiki links - automatic countermeasures?
by Mathias Schindler 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

Hi, it has come to my attention that certain Browsers seem to insert question marks as a replacement for characters they don't support. If one of these poor people is editing an article, it will end up in breaking all non-latin characters. This is one example. http://de.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Kabbala&diff=2653437&oldid=26534… I think that it is a almost-ever-true assumption that there are no articles that are consisting of more than one question mark, if any. So whenever an interwiki gets altered into [[he:????]], there has to be something wrong. a) Could an skilled wikipedian searach for a list of articles that contain interwikis that are full of question marks? b) could an even more skilled wikipedian think of a script that checks article changes for this behavior and 1. denies the article change 2. cries for help 3. informs the author that his browser should be seen as a relict of a past millenium? Breaking interwiki links and other non-latin characters is not cool. Just say no to interwiki-breaking. Thanks. Mathias

Integration of Multimedia Editing in MediaWiki
by Andrew Davis 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

Stop me if you've heard this one before...I have started working on creating a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike Non-Commercial mediawiki site at http://filmapart.net/ . I intend for the site to be a repository of high-quality video and audio which users may access and use to create edited multimedia (documentary, short, even feature) content. The Wikiness of the site should allow for users to edit one another's footage and finished content with the mediawiki versioning system and authorship history fulfilling the full purpose of the creative commons license. I realize that average internet access speeds are not up to the task of transferring such large files at this time, and I also realize that coding such a system could take quite a long time, but perhaps the system could be finished and integrated into MediaWiki by the time such transfer speeds are commonly available. I'm just throwing this idea out there today. If any of you have any comment or suggestion, I encourage your participation. If this is something y'all are already working on, count me in and take me to your leaders. Andrew Davis

Access control using PHP tags
by Fotios Lindiakos 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

I am relatively new to the MediaWiki and PHP scene. I am working with a few people setting up a wiki for our floor, http://csh.rit.edu One thing I am trying to do is set access control based on whether a user is logged in for now. We have some information on there that we might only want members to see, but most information would be public. I have a few things I am trying to do, and any help in at least the right direction to look for the information would be useful. If I was not supposed to ask this question here, please let me know and feel free to delete it. But here it goes...: - I want to make a PHP process so that anything encapsulate in <private></private> is not rendered if the user is not logged in. - I would like to know if there is an easy way to add pages to the anonymous whitelist, and possibly if there is a way for a user to specify if the page should be whitelisted or not - Finally, we would like it if there was a way for mediawiki to not process any [[links]] that the user does not have access to, so that they won't even know that there is a page there. I would like to implement these things, and would most definitely contribute them to the project if they work. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

1.37 and performance issues when using re_write in .htaccess
by Shelley Powers 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place. I looked in many places trying to find what amounts to a user forum. Apologies if this is the wrong place, and would be grateful to link to where I need to go. I installed a test wiki with the new 1.3.7 security update. You can see it at http://testwiki.itkitchen.info. I used redirects to remove index.php from the URL, just as I do with my wiki running 1.3.6, here http://wiki.itkitchen.info. As you can see the performance, well, sucks. Big time. We've tried other installations and other mods with the .htaccess, but nothing works. If we use .htaccess to eliminate the index.php from the URL, the performance is bad. If we don't, performance is good. Anyone have any modifications to .htaccess that should accompany the update? Many thanks Shelley

Conference presentation and setting up a local wiki
by ilooy 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

Hi fellow wikipedians ;-) I exchanged emails with Brion about ideas for setting up a local wiki running on either Linspire, Mac OSX, or Windows. I'm doing a presentation on Wikipedia for a couple of conferences in NH, about 120 educators and admins will be attending the presentations, at the McAuliffe Conference and the NHAWLT conference. Do you have ideas as to what would be the easier setup and what would be a good perhaps thorough enough introduction to Wikimedia and its projects? Any input on this is welcome. with regards always, Jay B. [[w:en:User:ILVI]] -- -- ilooy.gaon(a)gmail.com
