Re: unable to access my wiki outside my private network
by Byortek wiki 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

I have a part of the answer. mediawiki was redirecting the call to the public url to the private url. The hostname of the linux server is the private url "smallpc.home" The public url is something like "smallpc.dyndns.org" When the browser calls smallpc.dyndns.org/wiki, somehow mediawiki tells the browser (through apache) to redirect (status 301) the call to the private url smallpc.home/wiki If I change the hostname of the linux server to the public url and install it again, then it works fine, either from a private or either from a public ip adress.

Please Help: Link to a letter on a category page?
by Uwe Baumbach 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

Hi, Category pages with a big number of articles seem to be somewhat unhandy... I am looking for a way to link directly to a letter inside a category page, something like [[:category:MyCategory#L]] This link does not work. Wrong syntax? Does one know any working solution? Change the PHP, generating the sorted category page and "adding" the missed anchors? Thanks. -- Looking forward to your answer... -- Uwe Baumbach U.Baumbach(a)web.de ______________________________________________________________ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

[[m:CheckUser]]
by David Gerard 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

Special:CheckUser is the IP-to-username checker Tim Starling implemented for en:. Those able to use it are him and me, and I hardly dare touch the thing :-) There's talk of allowing it on other Wikipedias. There's a discussion page at [[m:CheckUser]] and some of the tinfoil hattery makes my head hurt. I would welcome contribution from those who already have this power and more. Particularly for "What circumstances merit checking?" which is the big question for me. I've been *very* conservative in using the tool, possibly too conservative, and am looking for guidelines to a sensible policy guideline. - d.

wiki 2 html converter
by Moritz von Schweinitz 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

hi there, and sorry if this is a FAQ, but i couldn't find a clear answer easily. i was playing around with wiki2static.pl a bit last night, and heard a rumour that it's not supported anymore. additionaly, the HTML it produces is a bit sub-optimal, and it seems it only understands some older wiki-syntax. soi was wondering if anybody already tried to isolate whichever part of wikimedia actually 'renders' the 'cur' column of the database to HTML, and make a stand-alone app (or a perl module, or something) based on that in a way that re-uses the latest wikimedia code, so that any scripts that trry to create a static version of a wiki could easily be kept in sync with the lates mediawiki syntax. so: does anyone know whether this already exists, is feasible to do or complete nonsense? cheers, Moritz von Schweinitz (who didn't dig into the mediawii source to answer this)

a few more details of ENOTIF and EAUTHENT 3.05-alpha for Mediawiki 1.4.1 (REL1_4)
by Thomas Gries 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

I suggest this as 1.4.1 - it is fully based on REL1_4 . E-Mail Notification for page and user-page changes and E-Mail-Address Authentication. Many further innovative features such as direct links to difference view between current and last-seen versions (of watched pages). See http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454 for further information and http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enotif (download, installation instructions, screenshots, documentation - there are already many pages; the pages refer to the last version but will be updated in the forthcoming days) Comes with full installer and updater code, as usual. Implementation details: It fully uses DATETIME type for timestamps. It uses again the effective user_newtalk table, which allows efficient memcaching for newtalk signalling. Sysops, Developers and Bureaucrats need _not_ to authenticate their e-mail addresses, when they enter or change them (for convenience; this can be switched on or off in DefaultSettings as many other options). On the Create Account screen you can now also enter the email address as you create the new account (this is an old bug of mediawiki, but solved within my ENotif patch). Please may I ask you, that you add your e-mail address to the CC list of http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454 , if you want kept up-to-date ? This saves my time for writing to the many different "channels". Avoid the most common pitfalls when you want to test E-Mail Notifications as a newbie to it: ===================================================================== 1. Do not forget to enter an e-mail address (user preferences) !! 2. Be aware, that you never receive an notification for your own changes (you need to log in as another user B to invoke and check ENotifs sent to watching user A ) 3. ENotifs are sent only for the first change on a page you are watching 4. ENotifs are automatically retriggered when the watching users visits the current version - may be direct or indirectly by visiting the difference to it.

Mailing list admin question/request
by Jimmy Wales 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

It seems that I'm listed as 'owner' of several mailing lists. This is suboptimal because I just delete all the mail that comes to me. This just overloads my inbox with useless mail, but also it means that whatever it is that an actual owner is supposed to be doing just isn't getting done. I wonder if I could be removed as owner or administrator on all the mailing lists? It would be nice if I had access to the mmsitepassword or whatever I might need to go in and bonk annoying people on the head from time to time, but it seems unwise for official mail to be going to me when I don't even look at it. :-) I'm not even really sure where to direct this request, to tell the truth. :-) --Jimbo
