Hi everyone,
I recently set up a MediaWiki (http://server.bluewatersys.com/w90n740/)
and I need to extra the content from it and convert it into LaTeX
syntax for printed documentation. I have googled for a suitable OSS
solution but nothing was apparent.
I would prefer a script written in Python, but any recommendations
would be very welcome.
Do you know of anything suitable?
Kind Regards,
Hugo Vincent,
Bluewater Systems.
Hi everyone,
We are running:
* MediaWiki: 1.5.5
* PHP: 4.4.2-0.dotdeb.1 (apache)
* MySQL: 4.1.11-Debian_4sarge2-log
Planning to upgrade to MySQL 5.0.
Any issues/problems that we should be aware of?
(yes, we plan to do a full back up first)

Hello
How do i go about hiding users on the User List page? Since the
mediawiki documentation says not to delete suers from the database, i
figure hiding them on the webpage is the next best thing. Even
removing the User List page from the special pages would work too.
how can i do this?
Sorry if you saw this on theMediawiki list but I am trying again:
Is there anyway to install Mediawiki once and have it use the directory
structure of the operating system so I can control rights to even see the
text using permissions on the directories.
For example install to:
mydomain.com/wiki
but have different sections of the wiki exist in different subdirectories
mydomain.com/public/mydomain.com/private/mydomain.com/sports/mydomain.com/work/
etc.
I was trying to figure out a way to do this using the languages type stuff
public.mydomain.com redirect to mydomain.com/public/private.mydomain.com redirect to mydomain.com/private/sports.mydomain.com redirect to mydomain.com/sports/work.mydomain.com redirect to mydomain.com/work/
Or must I install mediawiki multiple times to each of the subdirectories?
Thx in adv,
Jim

Dear developers, please have a look at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Approved_requests_for_new_languages and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Approved_requests_for_new_languages.
There are 13 languages waiting for their wikis to be created, some of them for THREE MOTNS. It's no wonder that people, who would like to work for wikis in these langiages get frustrated and angry. I've already asked developers to pay attention to this sad fact in meta wiki babel, but it seems not to have any effect.
Please, don't forget the aim of wikipedia - create encyclopedia in EVERY langiage!

In light of the past few months' experience in what kind of revision-deletion
people would _like_ to be doing if we had it finished, I'm starting to complete
implementation of rev_deleted, changing it from the originally planned flag to a
bitfield:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bitfields_for_rev_deleted
The bitfield gives us some more options to suppress comments and usernames where
necessary while keeping them in history in more common cases.

I've started a process of forcing old rendered thumbnails to regenerate. This
will gradually replace old rendered images over the next couple days as several
issues have been fixed recently:
* Many PNG thumbs defaulted to unnecessarily high bit depth, wasting bandwidth
* JPEG thumbs were at a somewhat higher quality than needed, wasting bandwidth
* Some PNG and JPEG thumbs were sized a pixel off due to mismatches in how
MediaWiki and ImageMagick rounded the resized aspect ratio; these could get
resized in the client, leading to extra blurry scaling
* Lots of SVG rendering problems fixed by upgrading to librsvg 2.14.0
Since invalidating *all* thumbs brought things to a halt doing nothing but
rerendering, I've currently got it invalidating thumbs over a year old, and will
be moving up the cutoff date gradually over the next day or two.

How should PNG images with an alpha channel be handled? I've created
some nice images, but now IE6 users are complaining that they have a
black background. If I convert them to GIF/PNG-8 images they have an
ugly edge, which doesn't seem fair to Firefox/Opera/IE7 users. Is there
a better solution, such as MediaWiki automatically converting images for
IE6 users?
Cheers,
Ruud
