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.
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...

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.

Hello,
i want to add images to my wikipages with the html tag
<img ...>
I can't find the position in the source code for modifying
the mediawiki. Can someone help me and give a short
instruction to me. It's for my own wiki I need this feature!
Thanks a lot
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,

(who didn't dig into the mediawii source to answer this)
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.
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. :-)
