Templates are in 1.3. Don't you also have to add $useDatabaseMessage = 1; to LocalSettings.php?

Most of the access keys no longer work with JavaScript disabled. This is puzzling, as it seems to defeat the 'accessibility' part. Is this intentional? (However many of the keys need to be changed in the first place due to conflicts with existing browser shortcut keys as outlined in my earlier post on the subject.) -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Problem with templates and the left navigation
by Jens Wolfgarten 11 Jun '04

11 Jun '04

Hi everybody! I've got some problems concerning the use of the mediawiki. First of all, I want to change the left navigation. Can you please tell me, where I can archive this? Where can I change the header and the footer and so on? Moreover I want to use templates. From everything I read, I just have to insert a link in the form {{test}}. The wiki should automatically display an edit link. I can't make this work. Can you please help me? My wiki only displays {{test}} as plain text. Thanks Jens

I've checked in and installed the changes. It should be possible to convert the da, es, nl, and sv wiktionaries relatively quickly, while the wikipedias wait longer to switch into UTF-8 (on account of downtime needs etc). -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Preferences reloading?
by Brion Vibber 10 Jun '04

10 Jun '04

I notice that at some point the Preferences screen has started showing this message: "Note: After saving, you have to clear your browser cache to see the changes: Mozilla: click reload(or ctrl-r), IE / Opera: ctrl-f5, Safari: cmd-r, Konqueror ctrl-r." Is there a reason for this? Nothing in preferences should require forced reloading; saving the preferences updates the user_touched timestamp and forces subsequent page loads to refresh if the client's cached version was older than that point. I seem to remember this message was created for the user stylesheet/javascript bits. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

I've set up moreri to run another squid instead of the apache, it's getting 1/3 of the traffic now (2 out of 6 public ips). Gabriel Wicke
